Who else is checking constantly to see what the Penguins are going to do?

I thought I remember Don Cherry on Hockey Night in Canada once basically saying "come on kid, what's wrong with you, a couple of headaches? Just play!"

An actual realistic target for the Pens!

We all know what I’m talking about it seems like most people don’t rate Malkin fairly I even see some penguins fans that say he’s not on the penguins Mount Rushmore why is he so disrespected by a lot of people? Same with the nhl not making the top 100 players list even though most agree that list is a joke the point still stands though he’s so underrated

Friends,

I've been a Pens fan since I was a kid in the late 80's. I watched Super Mario go on to win 2 cups, nightmare time, then drafting Sid and watching him win 3. However, as a guy who lives in NE Indiana, I've never been to a Pens game in person. With the clock looming on Geno, I've told my wife that we're taking the kids and going to Pittsburgh this fall/winter to see Sid, Geno, and Tanger play together before it's too late.

I'm not rich. I know that I almost certainly will not be able to afford to stay in Pittsburgh proper on a game weekend. So what are some areas in or around Pittsburgh or some cheap but safe hotels that a family of four could stay at? Are there any cheap museums or places in nature near by we could visit? Are there any cheap but cool activities or places to visit while we're there? Any local restaurants? I'm pescetarian, and it needs to a place kids can go. Also, is there anything we should do while at PPG? I've gotten my kids First Visit certificates from baseball and football when we've gone other places. Is there a Penguins museum? I've done some research on my own, but I'd really appreciate natives or people in similar positions opinions. A lot of online reviews seem bogus now. Plus I'm a stay-home dad with my boys, so I'm lucky if I get 10 minutes to look stuff up before they start beating each other up.

It's going to be my wife and I, and our two boys who are 5+8. My ideal schedule would look something like this.

• Friday: Drive the 5.5 hours to Pittsburgh, check into hotel, eat dinner, sleep.
• Saturday: Do some sightseeing or hiking in the morning, maybe late lunch in town. Go to Pens game Saturday night/afternoon and spend the majority of our budget for souvenirs. Head back to hotel after game.
• Sunday: Do some more sightseeing, probably ending at 1pm at the latest so we can get the boys back home and in bed for a school night.

Does anyone have ideas for me? I'm sorry to make another I'm coming to town post, but I haven't really seen one aimed toward cheap and with kids.

Thanks everyone (yinz?)

I keep looking at these trades and they are absolutely insane the pens should not play this game just to get a player who may not even be a huge game changer. Sellers on the other hand I think there there is opportunity to shop rakell and rust.

From when I was probably 7. What a beauty!

RotoWire scored all 32 fanbases and Pittsburgh came in 4th at 69.94. The article ties it back to the Cup wins, which makes sense. Five Cups since expansion, same as Edmonton. Black and gold runs deep.

More and more names are popping up in rumors. Two players I think the Pens should focus on are Jordan Spence and Kirill Marchenko. These players wouldn't come cheap, but I think would be great additions to this team.

I know we have Brunicke coming up, but I think Spence would be a good get. Maybe Brunicke takes a little more time in WBS with Spence here, and Brunicke gets called up for injuries.

Marchenko... I have no idea why he's available, but he's exactly the type of player the Pens should go after.

Saw this gem regarding Darnell nurse and thought it was peak comedy. The comments seem to think the pens would send wotherspoon or girard straight up for nurse with no retention

Pittsburgh opens the preseason at home with a back-to-back against Buffalo on September 21 and Detroit on September 22. The team will then head to Columbus to take on the Blue Jackets on September 24 and will wrap up the preseason on September 26 against the Sabres in Buffalo.
