Go back to the start of September when the Pittsburgh Penguins were just entering training camp, and imagine somebody telling you this week the Penguins would be playing their third consecutive meaningless game, preparing to sit everybody important for Game 82 so they can be ready for the playoffs. Then imagine the Penguins would be […]

Here are your Pens Points for this Monday morning… The Pittsburgh Penguins iced most of their regulars but generated little offense, falling 3-0 to the Washington Capitals on Sunday. Washington pulled away late with two third-period goals (including an empty-netter), in a game that may have marked one of Alex Ovechkin’s final appearances in Washington, […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates made some big moves in the offseason and one of them was signing veteran Marcell Ozuna to a one-year 12 million contract. The $deal seemed like a really good idea when it happened because of how much Pittsburgh needed a guy with power but the righty has struggled so far this season. […]
The Flyers will enter the game Monday night at home against Carolina with a chance to do something they haven’t done the previous five seasons: make the playoffs. A win of any kind will put Philadelphia safely into the third seed in the Metropolitan Division. And thus getting them ready for the Battle of Pennsylvania against the Pittsburgh Penguins in the opening round. It’s almost miraculous they find themselves here. But here they are. At home Monday night against Carolina with a chance...
Sunday afternoon at Wrigley Field was better than Saturday in every single way. First, the weather was more than 30 degrees warmer — 80 at game time, a nice day to have in mid-April. And the Cubs came from behind with good relief work and some excellent baserunning, tying the game in the eighth. Then […]
Pregame The late-season roster shuffle continues. Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang, Erik Karlsson, Bryan Rust and Parker Wotherspoon all dress for this game after sitting out yesterday. Noel Acciari, Anthony Mantha, Ryan Shea and Connor Clifton all rotate out with official ‘undisclosed day-to-day injuries’. The home Capitals celebrate their final home game of the […]
We’re just a few short weeks away from the NFL Draft, and top analysts across the league are rolling out final mocks. According to a recent mock draft from Nate Tice and Charles McDonald of Yahoo Sports, the Steelers sit at pick No. 21 and land one of the most talented receivers in the class […]

I’m not sure what to think of the Cubs’ frustrating 4-3, 11-inning loss to the Pirates Saturday afternoon at Wrigley Field. Should I be unhappy because they lost, and part of the reason was a player playing his first game at first base — ever? Or should I take some solace in the fact that […]

It’s happening again. The Philadelphia Flyers are relying on Claude Giroux to work some magic and give them a whole lot of a better chance to get into the playoffs. The only thing is that this time, Giroux isn’t actually playing for the Flyers. As the Flyers continue to push and push into the playoffs during these final few remaining games of the regular season, every single point matters — and that job only got harder after the disheartening 6-3 loss to Detroit earlier in the week. They ...
