Penguins Roll the Dice for Depth
The Pittsburgh Penguins picked up veteran forward Mike Comrie today at the bargain basement price of just $500K in a bit of a roll of the dice for depth. Consider it at the least a short term insurance policy on Jordan Staal's lingering foot injury. If lucky, however, it could ring in the renaissance of Mike Comrie's NHL career and add some more diversity to the Penguins' offensive makeup. The good news with the Comrie signing is that $500K isn't much of a gamble for the Penguins to bring in a more experienced player with some offensive upside...but as the old adage ...
Bye Bye Billy G
We will miss you! Veteran forward Bill Guerin announced today that Pittsburgh GM Ray Shero has informed him that he will not be re-signed to a Penguins' contract for the coming season. Guerin, who was acquired from the Islanders at the trade deadline in 2009, played a vital role on Sidney Crosby's wing as the Penguins marched to a Stanley Cup victory in 2009. He brought veteran leadership to the team at a time that it was sorely needed, and lightened the mood for the team's younger stars in the wake of a rough slump that ended with the firing ...
Sports Cards and Autographs!
Do you like collecting sports cards and autographs, or do you have a friend who does? Maybe you need a great gift idea for a rabid sports fan. If so, you might want to check out http://photosandgraphs.ecrater.com. Derrick over at Photos and Graphs has an impressive array of autographed photos, and sports memorabilia. Hockey photos and memorabilia make up more than half of his collection of over 1,000 items, with a great stock of Pittsburgh Penguins items (some of them quite rare). His collection also includes baseball, football, and other sports. I have been conversing with Derrick on Facebook, and he ...
Penguins Add More Grit With Asham Signing
The Pittsburgh Penguins added more bite to their bottom six on Friday by signing physical right wing role player Arron Asham to a one-year deal worth $700K. The move signals the redefinition of what the Penguins' 3rd/4th lines will bring to the mix this coming season with Jordan Staal's anticipated move to the top 6. Specifically....grit, tenacity, energy, passion, and versatility. Asham completes a bottom six pool that already includes Michael Rupp, Matt Cooke, Craig Adams, Max Talbot, Tyler Kennedy, and Eric Godard.....an already tenacious combination of role players that serve as the supporting cast to the Penguins' existing top six. Over the past ...
Pens Name Todd Reirden New Assistant Coach
Pittsburgh Penguins' Executive Vice President and General Manager Ray Shero announced today that Todd Reirden has been selected as Assistant Coach, filling the vacancy left by Mike Yeo. Yeo left earlier this summer to become head coach for the Houston Aeros of the American Hockey League (AHL). Reirden is leaving his post as head coach of Pittsburgh's AHL affiliate, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (WBS) Penguins. The new assignment will re-establish the coaching relationship that he had previously held with Dan Bylsma at the AHL level. Their association, however, dates back to their college days at Bowling Green State University in the early 1990s. Reirden comes ...
