A Sorry Season Series

Mike Adams | Pittsburgh Penguins

Wednesday March 17, 2010

We are all well aware of the Pens’ total ineptitude against the Devils this season. They have yet to win a game in five tries against a team they lead by two points in the chase for the Atlantic Division title. They have been outscored 17-3. That’s just one of a series of incredibly ugly numbers against Lou’s Ruiners of Hockey.

Charting The Pens At The 60-Game Mark

Mike Adams | Report Cards

Friday February 12, 2010

Can you believe the Pens are at the 60-game mark already? Neither can I. But they did indeed reach that milepost the other night, so it’s time to make a comparison to where they stood at the same point last year. Keep in mind that they reached 60 games last year only three games into Dan Bylsma’s tenure.
