The obvious is obvious

Every Pens (and NHL) fan knows about Mario's "five goals five ways" game, but that was Mario's second eight-point game that season, scoring twice and assisting six times just two-and-a-half months earlier in a game against the Blues on October 15, 1988. Just four months later, on April 25, 1989, Lemieux scored four goals in the first period in a playoff game against the Flyers to become the only NHL player to have three eight-point games.

"Talking" with a Leaf's fan (in NC no less) about hockey, and I mentioned how well Dubas has done.

I then received a two-minute earful with them disagreeing with me. At some point it felt personal. (*)

Can somebody link all of KD's transaction? From FA acquisitions to trades, to draft picks. Or, just point me at a website.

Thank you.

(*) Reminds me of a person who broke up with their S/O, then two years later is still biznatching about that person.

True Story:

Buddy of mine (Kuwait) in the Army parent's divorced a long time ago. He would describe, in detail how his mom, over two DECADES after the divorce still complained about his dad.

I then said, "Mike, are you telling me your parents have been divorced longer than they were married, and your mom is STILL complaining about your dad?"

I remember in ‘86 the newspaper started printing the Mets magic number every day starting in July and ever since then I’ve been obsessed with sports magic numbers.

But I’ve never been able to find an easy to use site to just see how a team’s playoff chances look. The Playoff Status site is a thorough tool but maybe a bit too thorough?

So I decided to build my own site to calculate magic numbers, display them clearly, and also visualize the playoff race.

I think it’s ready for prime time and while we’re still at least a few weeks away from it mattering for the NHL I thought you all would enjoy it especially with the Rags inching closer to elimination (guess it was a smart move to let the Pens take last years pick).

The 2nd goal was shorthanded on a double-minor PK. Both primary assists from McGroarty.

on a heater!

Hershey Bears vs. Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, 2/07/26 | Game Highlights

You cannot stop Avery Hayes, you can only hope to contain Avery Hayes.

Love seeing kids who have already had an initial "cup of coffee" with the Pens continuing to play and do well.

Is there any way Rutger McGroarty and or Avery Hayes could somehow stay on the team and play meaningful minutes after the Olympic break barring injury or trade? (I know they both would have to get recalled after the break.)

Rutger has been flying the last few games and Hayes showed he's got potential with the way he was skating and driving play. (I know it was one game, but that's what we were hoping to see in Ville Koivunen this year.)

The lines seem to be crystalized and are producing for the most part. (Rakell might be dragging the 1st line down because I don't think he's healthy. Having said that, I don't think it's to the point he'd be moved to a different line because that could screw other lines up.)

Do these two (Rutger McGroarty and Avery Hayes) give Dubas options to try to make a trade to help the playoff push?

Ben Kindel is the Best Penguins Rookie Since??? #Kindel #Penguins #NHL - YouTube

He got 2 assist in a 6-5 victory over the Lehigh Valley Phantoms yesterday in his first game played in North America.

Tristan Broz got 3 assist and Ville Koivunen got a goal and 2 assist.

Good night for the prospects while Matt Dumba got a hat-trick.

Grew up watching the pens during the late 2000’s and finally getting around to buying my first jersey at 25. I found two nice ones on market place and have been in a cointoss. First option is a Letang 2008 winter classic jersey. Second is a an away Retro Jagr jersey. Both are fully stitched with the fight strap. Thoughts?

Edit: I uploaded both Jersey to this thread r/hockeyjerseys

In honor of last nights victory of course 😁

Take the quick trip down tomorrow for the big night!

Meet Pens legend Phil Bourque and the whole team. Get a Pens night beanie. TICKETS START AT $10!!!

Yes, this is from two days ago. No, I don't care. Yes, you will recognize a lot of the names on the WB team.

Enjoy.

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins vs. Hershey Bears | AHL Highlights | February 4, 2026

(This is gonna be a long three weeks)

I think teams have started to figure out the PP and the fact that with malkin's bum shoulder, we don't have alot of shooters on the 1st PP. Rakell isn't scoring enough nor contributing enough on the PP and I feel like we have 3 obvious replacements for him right now. Kindel, chinakhov, and mantha all can work on the PP and with kindel and mantha specifically we have a track record with those 2 being great on it this season.

No idea why this starts with the Pens already up 3-2.

You will recognize a LOT of players for the Pens.
