We’re with you
Due to the man hunt currently happening in Boston to catch the Boston Marathon bombers, the Pittsburgh Penguins- Boston Bruins game that was scheduled for tonight has been tentatively postponed until tomorrow at 12:30PM.
The Penguins’ Saturday game against Buffalo has been moved to Tuesday at 7:30PM.
This is completely understandable, and we send positive vibes to the city of Boston. We’re all behind you guys 100%. Team loyalty doesn’t matter at this point.
Change that X to a Y.
With their win over the Carolina Hurricanes, the Pittsburgh Penguins have become the Atlantic Division champions, clinching the division for the last time in history, as the realignment goes into effect next season. They already clinched a playoff spot on Sunday.
The win wasn’t a pretty one. The Canes were in fighting form, desperate for a win and were leading the game 3-2 until Beau Bennett, who was called up earlier this week, scored. Evgeni Malkin scored a few minutes later, and Pascal Dupuis sealed the deal with an empty net goal to make it 5-3. Brandon Morrow also scored his first goal as a Penguin
The Pens did all this without Sidney Crosby, who is out of the lineup for the time being after having surgery to repair his broken jaw, Kris Letang, who is still out with a lower body injury, and James Neal, who has a concussion after a hit from the New York Rangers’ Michael Del Zotto. Letang is practicing and might be back soon.
Clinching the Atlantic division is nice, but there’s one prize we all have our eyes on.
Pens play the Tampa Bay Lightening on Thursday. Let’s Go Pens!
Our Newest Penguin: Jussi Jokinen
We all thought GM Ray Shero was done with the trades. After all, he managed to get Brenden Morrow, Douglas Murray, and, the best one of them all, Jarome Iginla. That should be enough.
Nope.
Today, the Pittsburgh Penguins announced they have acquired Jussi Jokinen from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for a conditional 6th or 7th round pick.
Will the Pens even have any picks left for the draft?
So far this season, Jokinen has 6 goals and 5 assists for 11 points. It will be exciting to see what Jokinen brings to the Pens. Welcome to Pittsburgh!
