Pens Fall to Leafs in OT
Hey pens fans,
The pens played hard, but lost to Toronto in OT 3-2. Recchi and Ouellet scored the pns goals. Ouellet's goal was o a great effort by Crosby to get the puck to the net. Fleury was in goal and played a solid game and made many huge saves. It was a good effort by the pens, but they came up short. Therrien has yet to win as the pens coach and is 0-4 with one point.

Pens Fall to Flyers
Hey pens fans,
The pens lost 5-4 to the flyers tonight at the mellon arena. Sidney Crosby had 2 goals and Surovy and Christensen also scored for the pens. The pens struggled quite a bit in the early going, being down by three. They came back to tie and lead and then lost. The second and thrid periods showed a good effort by the pens. We had to kill 11 penelties and that hurt us alot. It took a lot out of the pens. The league is off for Christmas now, and the pens play again on Tuesday the 27th. The league is also in a trade frees, for those who didn't know. So in all likelyhood this is my last post until after Christmas. Merry Christmas and remember to tell Santa what we really want... a new arena for out pens.

Olympics
Hey pens fans,
Sidney Crosby will not play for the Canadian Olympic team. They cut him. I think this is a bit of a mistake, but he is young and will have the opporunity to play again.

Arena News
Hey pens fans,
First we heard about a new arena based on getting a slots license
http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=147778&hubname=nhl
then after the press conference we heard who would help do it.
http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05355/625912.stm
and yet another story on it
http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05355/625661.stm
The new arena complex is said to be 18,000 seats and some shopping and other items as well. The one thing is that its funding is basd on winning the slots license. If they do not I have no idea what they will do.

Down and Out in Buffalo
Hey pens fans,
Well, the pens lost again to the sabres for the second time in as many days. The score was 4-3 and Ouellet, Surovy, and Crosby, scored for the pens. Thibault was in goal and Lemieux sat out the game. Recchi did not come back for the third period and may be hurt. Unfortunetly I did not get to see all of the game due to a power outage, but the pens made a good efort in the third period. Yesterday's game in pittsburgh was a great efort by the pens. Soryy, Indidn't elaborate earlier but as I said in my last quick post I didn't get home until this morning. We stayed with the Sabresa all game and put forth a great effort, but in the ot we took a bad penelty that lost us the game. How many times has that happened this year? It was a hard loss to swallow, but there was a real lifee to the team that I haven't seen this season and some of those lines where definetly something we haven't seen before. Hopefully it gets better and fast. Until next post...

Penguins Fire Coaching Staff
Hey pens fans,
Well, we all knew Edzo's days as the pens coack were numbered, but who expected them to go and fire the whole staff. That's right the pens fired Eddie Olcyzk, Joe Mullen, Randy Hillier, John Welday and Shane Clifford. the staff will be replaced by the coach of the WBS pens Michel Therrien, who has led the baby pens to a season with only one loss. He also took them to the Calder Cup finals in 03-04. He brings with him assistant coach Mike Yeo, strength ad conditioning coach Stephane Dube, and goaltending consultant Gilles Lefebvre, who were his staff in WBS. Therrien had also worked in the Montreal Canadiens organization for 6 seasons and for 3 of those he was head coach. Hopefully this change will make a difference. Best of Luck to the new coaching staff.

Edzo's Days are Numbered
Hey pens fans,
I have heard from multiple sources that Edzo's days as the pens coach are numbered. That only makes sense with the season we have had. Something needs to be done. Some of these rumors have the end of his tenure as coach being as soon as today. I think we should look for it in the next few days. Also, the most believable rumor as to who will replace Edzo is the coach of the WBS Penguins of the AHL, Mike Therrien.

Pens beat Avalanche/Trade
Hey pens fans,
To start off the pens traded Steve Poapst to th Blues for Eric Boguniecki, who p layed in tonights game. Marc-Andre Fleury played a solid game in goal tonight for the pens as they beat colorado 4-3 at the igloo. Mark Recchi played a good game for the pens tonight scoring a goal and assistinig on another. A bit of a suprise to some, not me, was the great play of Maxime Talbot, who has been working hard in the background all season. Tonight his determination really came to the front ofit all and he had a goal to boot. The newest penguin Eric Boguniecki played a good game tonight. He was hopping all over the ice and had a few good shots on net, but his real shining moments were of a defensive nature. This is one guy to watch. Also note that the pens were without, Lemieux, Palffy, and LeClair tonight, three of our best scorers. This was a huge win for he pens considering the great season colorado has been having and that the Avs' roster reads a bit like a future hall of fame roster. That's it for now. Hopefully they can ride this win into the nest game.
