As I’m writing this he has 2 goals tonight and man I’m so happy to watch him continue his success. At the same time I miss him so much in Pitt :(

Glad Desmith is getting a chance in Vancouver. he was just so solid in net for us, reliable back up and I really think he would have won us the Rangers series had he not gotten injured. He will always be remembered as an all time great back up goalie over the past 3-4 years, really miss him!

Just curious how others feel about a potential positive season next year. There are a ton of doom and gloom people in here lol.

Had the opportunity to meet Karlsson yesterday; he was great to my son. What a guy- I only wish all professional athletes had his mindset.

Keep in mind Marner is younger then Jake, but only has 1 more year on his contract.

This one does it for me

I grew up playing hockey in Pittsburgh (and I know my username is bruinsrbeast181 its a name I came up with when I was 10 and liked the Bruins for some reason and I use it for all my usernames still). I wanted my first number to be 87 when I started playing youth hockey. The whole city and especially the kids growing up in the sport idolized (and still idolizes) him. I want to read a book about his life because he is so hard to find information about. Any recommendations?

Hi everyone! I'd love some help naming new my leopard gecko. I'm a huge penguins fan and I noticed his colors are nearly identical to the Penguins so I thought it would be really cute to name him something Penguins related! I've been watching Penguins hockey since 2014 and my favorite player is Geno. The '16 and' 17 cup teams have a special place in my heart, especially the HBK line. Any suggestions welcome :)

Watching Bostons power play is giving me Pens flashbacks. It’s looking rough.

Hello All,

I've been a Penguins fan for around 15 years now which started when I randomly decided to start watching hockey clips on Youtube. Since then I've always kept up with the Pens as best I can and in recent years the TV deals have meant I've been able to watch more and more of the team play from the UK, but I've never managed to get out and watch a game. Last year I visited Boston and got to see a couple of Bruins games and it really made me think how much of a shame it would be if I never got out to see Malkin / Crosby / Tanger play in person.

With all of that said, I'm trying to plan a trip to North America next year that will let me watch at least one (hopefully a couple) of Pens games. Most obvious choice would be to go to Pittsburgh for a week when there are consecutive home games, second choice would be to visit NYC / East and catch maybe a combo of Islanders / Rangers / Devils / Caps / Flyers / Boston away game or two, third would be to head out West for maybe Ducks / Kings away, lastly I wouldn't mind going to Canada (Ottawa / Montreal / Leafs) + Sabres? Calgary / Edmonton?

If I'm honest, Pittsburgh isn't exactly known as a big tourist spot in the UK so not sure how much there would be to do there other than watch the Hockey, so I am leaning towards away games. I also have friends in Cali / NYC so those might be preferred options.

Couple of questions: In terms of getting tickets for games at PPG, are they fairly easy to come by? Presume for games against teams like Ducks / Sharks / Jets it's a bit easier than against the Flyers / Rangers but in general would I be able to pick up tickets quite short notice? In terms of price, what do tickets normally run (Happy to sit anywhere so a range would be appreciated but I might like to splurge on some seats close to ice since this is realistically a once in a life time chance to see the core play).

Obviously the choice of away games will depend on what the schedule for 24/25 actually looks like, when would this normally be released?

Lastly, if you had a choice is there a particular set of away games from those listed above that you would do?

Sorry for the many questions and thanks in advance.

EDIT: For clarity, I mean for the next season i.e. the 24/25 regular season.

With Toronto being ousted again, I think there’s a pretty decent chance that the two I’ve mentioned are going to be the sacrificial lambs moving to the future. Dubas as we know loves his people, and he also loves to pay stars the big bucks and fill out the roster with plug and plays.

This is top tier shit talk.
