Do you think this move gives the Pens the edge in the Metro? #Sports #IceHockey #Penguins00Share

david52+FollowSkinner’s Fresh Start: Oilers to PenguinsStu Skinner, the former Oilers netminder, has wasted no time settling into the Penguins’ crease after the big trade for Tristan Jarry. In a candid interview, Skinner admitted he’s already moved on from his Edmonton days, saying he “kind of forgets” what life was like there. With the Pens rotating through four goalies this season, Skinner’s calm presence could be the stability Pittsburgh needs in their playoff push. Do you think Skinner’s move will pay off for the Pens? #Sports #IceHockey #Penguins00Share
Phillip Scott+FollowSkinner’s Emotional Oilers vs Penguins DebutHow about that debut for Stu Skinner in the black and gold? Facing his old squad, the Oilers, right out of the gate had to be a nerve-wrecker. He let in five, but you can see the confidence building every game since. With the Penguins’ crowded goalie room and Skinner’s contract status, do you think he’s earned a longer look, or is another move coming? #Sports #IceHockey #Penguins00Share
Phillip Scott+FollowSidney Crosby’s shootout woes cost PenguinsSidney Crosby can do just about everything on the ice—except win shootouts lately. Despite being a legend for the Penguins, his recent shootout record is tough to ignore: just 2-for-12 since last season, including a miss in Tuesday’s 2-1 loss to Tampa Bay. It’s wild to see such a clutch player struggle in these moments, especially when every point matters in the tight Eastern Conference playoff race. The Penguins are now 1-6 in shootouts this season. Do you think shootout performance should weigh more in evaluating a player’s legacy, or is it just a quirky stat? #Sports #IceHockey #Penguins00Share
Jordan Leblanc+FollowPenguins’ playoff hopes hinge on SkinnerPittsburgh’s playoff dreams are riding on Stuart Skinner’s performance in net. Since arriving from Edmonton, Skinner’s already become a locker room favorite and has helped keep the Penguins just two points out of a Wild Card spot. But with the trade deadline looming and four goalies under contract, his future in Pittsburgh is still up in the air—especially with free agency approaching. If Skinner stays hot, he could be the key to a postseason run. But if things go sideways, big changes could be coming. What do you think—should the Pens stick with Skinner or shake things up? #Sports #IceHockey #Penguins00Share
Martha Garza+FollowPenguins face tough stretch without KarlssonLosing Erik Karlsson for at least two weeks is a real blow for the Penguins, especially with seven games—including a four-game road trip—coming up. Karlsson’s been a huge part of the team’s resurgence, racking up 33 points already this season. Now, with the Pens sitting just outside a playoff spot, every game counts. The timing couldn’t be worse, with matchups against the Lightning and Flyers on deck. How do you think the team will adapt without their star defenseman? Can the call-ups fill the gap, or will this stretch define the Penguins’ season? #Sports #IceHockey #Penguins00Share
Christopher Li+FollowSidney Crosby’s next move: What’s ahead for the Penguins?Sidney Crosby is still the heartbeat of the Penguins, leading the team in points and keeping playoff hopes alive. But with his contract up for extension this summer, don’t expect any quick decisions. Crosby, turning 39 soon, might not rush into a multi-year deal—he’s likely to see how his body holds up, especially with an Olympic season coming. If he signs for two more years, it’s a sign he’s in for the long haul. Penguins fans, how would you feel about Crosby playing another three seasons? Would you rather see him retire as a Penguin or chase a Cup elsewhere? #Sports #IceHockey #Penguins00Share
Jason Dawson+FollowBlake Lizotte’s grit keeps Penguins in the huntBlake Lizotte just landed a three-year extension with the Pittsburgh Penguins, and it’s easy to see why. He’s been a defensive workhorse, leading the team’s penalty kill and logging serious minutes in tough situations. The Penguins’ penalty kill ranks seventh in the NHL, and Lizotte’s hustle is a big reason they’re outperforming expectations this season. He might not light up the scoreboard, but his faceoff wins and relentless play have made him a quiet MVP for Pittsburgh. What do you think—does Lizotte’s style make him the kind of player every team needs? #Sports #IceHockey #Penguins00Share
Jordan Leblanc+FollowSidney Crosby matches Gretzky’s record in PittsburghSidney Crosby just tied Wayne Gretzky for the second-most assists with a single NHL team, notching his 1,087th assist for the Penguins during their win over the Devils. That’s a huge deal for Pittsburgh fans—Crosby’s now right behind Ray Bourque’s all-time mark. Plus, Crosby’s on an eight-game point streak, his best run in over a decade, showing he’s still got it in his 20th season. With the Penguins riding a hot streak and veterans like Malkin and Karlsson stepping up, this team’s energy feels electric. What do you think—can Crosby break Bourque’s record this year? #Sports #IceHockey #Penguins10Share
