Pens’ Depth Nets 4-1 Win in Ottawa
While the Pittsburgh Penguins have excelled under the leadership and talent of Sidney Crosby, the offensive punch of Evgeni Malkin, and the stellar netminding of Marc-Andre Fleury, it is their depth that makes them a great hockey team.

Penguins Roll Through Toronto 5-2
The Pittsburgh Penguins added another impressive win on Saturday night as they rolled through Toronto and beat the Maple Leafs 5-2 to remain unbeaten on the road so far this season.

Race to 4 in High Gear
A Penguin win in Game 4 of the Stanley Cups Finals Thursday night changes the complexion of the series. The fourth game in six nights seemed to take its toll on the Detroit Red Wings, but it could be argued that the Wings were beginning to feel the effects back in the latter part of…
Manhandled!! Pens Sweep Series 4-0
They got it done. The Pittsburgh Penguins did it differently this year in many ways, including allowing themselves to touch the Prince of Wales Cup. So did Mario Lemieux all those years ago–twice–and they went on to win the big one–Lord Stanley’s Cup. The Penguins bought into a system and a new coach’s philosophy and…

By all accounts, no matter what Pittsburgh Penguin is interviewed, the message is the same: focus on the game at hand, play the right way, and get it done tonight.
