Today, I grade the seasons of every Penguin forward.
Today, I grade the seasons of every Penguin forward.
The other day, we looked at the goalies. Today, the defensemen are under the microscope.
All season long, I have been grading the Pens game by game. Today, I begin a look at the season as a whole, and how each individual player, as well as management, fared. I start by looking at the goalies.
Today, I bring you no grades. How can you grade something like that? Every single player gets an A, because each and every one of them gave every last ounce of energy they could muster.
It’s all over but the shouting as the Wings take the penuntimate game.
Better late than never, right?
You can’t win if you can’t score
When your best players aren’t your best players…
A defensive masterpiece
When your best players aren’t your best players…
They continue to amaze
A comeback for the ages
A workmanlike effort in a playoff-style game.
So, who needs Crosby, anyway, when you have Ruutu?
Great bounce-back effort
Aimless effort ends in embarrassment
Was it the Pens’ best game of the year?
Doing what they have to.
Soff Pens fail first playoff test
That 8-2 game seems like seasons ago.
The Pens put forth a total team effort.
“Did he shoot that into his own net?”
Welcome to a full-fledged goalie controversy.
So this is what first place feels like.
The Pens come up short in a playoff-like game.
Wake when the nightmare is over.
Ty says, “not so fast, my friend.”
The less said about this one, the better.
