Penguins flaws are finally showing themselves

From the moment the 2025-26 season began, the Pittsburgh Penguins biggest flaws were pretty obvious. Even as the forward depth proved to be better than anybody could have anticipated, and even as they continued to exceed expectations and win games, those flaws were still there lurking beneath the surface. We all knew what they were. […]

Philadelphia Flyers' Dan Vladar Uncertain For Game 4

The Philadelphia Flyers are one win away from sweeping the Pittsburgh Penguins and advancing to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs for the first time since 2020. The only thing standing between them and that moment is a question about their most important player. Goaltender Dan Vladar did not practice Thursday after suffering an apparent right arm injury late in the third period of Wednesday's 5-2 Game 3 victory, when Penguins forward Bryan Rust crashed into him in the crease and...

Bernie’s Dugout Open Thread: 4/24-4/30

Greetings, Brew Crew Ball community. The Brewers bounced back nicely on their road trip against the Marlins and Tigers, and they’re now back in Milwaukee to host Paul Skenes and the Pirates this weekend. In some scary news, team No. 2 prospect and MLB No. 21 prospect Luis Peña reportedly collapsed in the dugout late […]

Pens Points: On the edge

Here are your Pens Points for this Friday morning… Anthony Mantha’s poor playoff showing for the Pittsburgh Penguins, which includes zero postseason goals after leading the team in the regular season with 33, in addition to costly penalties across the first three games, may be making the team’s offseason choice easier by pushing them away […]

Astros Fans, Don’t Give Up on Mike Burrows Just Yet

In an attempt to remake a starting rotation expected to lose a two-time All-Star, the Astros traded two prospects from a barren farm system to acquire Mike Burrows from the Pittsburgh Pirates last December.  An 11th round pick by the Pirates in 2018, Burrows finally made his Major League debut in 2024 and put himself on […]

Flyers’ Dan Vladar ‘feels better’ after injury scare against Penguins

Fans of the Philadelphia Flyers held their collective breath when goaltender Dan Vladar appeared shaken up in Wednesday night’s Game 3 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins at Xfinity Mobile Arena. Vladar did not take part in Thursday’s practice at the Flyers Training Center. However, Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet revealed after practice that while Vladar is hurting, he was simply given the day off for maintenance. Exhale. “It’s more of a maintenance day,” Tocchet told the media...

Flyers thriving against Penguins with team effort and balanced scoring

The series isn’t over, and the Flyers still have one more win to get to the second round, but thus far Philadelphia has been perfect. They are shutting down one of the better offensive teams in 2025-26 while at times putting on a defensive clinic that hasn’t been seen in some time. Heading into the series, much was made of the fact how deep the Penguins were, with a dozen players scoring 13 or more goals. So even if the Flyers somehow stopped Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, they still had the...
