Pittsburgh Penguins (Official Thread)

[Brutus1]

A big thank you to Hossa. If you would have re-signed, this team probably
does not win the Cup. Fuck off, team killer. Go to Edmonton !

 

[bukIpower]

Well I just figured I'd say I was totally wrong about Fleury! He really stepped up those final two games and got us the W's! I'm very impressed with what Talbot has been able to do as well!

I'm a little late but GO PENS!

Beaver County Times & Allegheny Times Online - Sports

Everyone who traveled from Pittsburgh to Detroit for Game 7 showed up ready to compete. Ohio State hockey player Sergio Somma, a Plum native, was in a Joe Louis Arena men?s room when an inebriated Wings fan, noting Somma?s Penguins jersey, drunkenly sloshed into him.

Somma didn?t back down, nor did he overreact. ?You check like Zetterberg,? he sneered.

Go Bucks! Go Pens!

The Penguins signed defenseman Alex Goligoski to a three-year contract today.
The deal is worth a total of $5.5 million, and carries an annual salary-cap hit of $1,833,333.
Goligoski was scheduled to become a restricted free agent July 1.

Fedetenko was offered a 3 year contract.. I think the cap hit was around 2.5 million. I'll dig up a link later.

Apparently Guerin isn't retiring.

FA started July 1st. Hossa signed with Detroit July 2nd.

This is the Penguins thread, you know, where we discuss the Penguins.

This is the Penguins thread, you know, where we discuss the Penguins.

best line up at the top three pivots in the league on this team. imo.

Guerin re-signs for 1 yr and 2MM. Very nice deal.

Craig Adams also takes a pay cut from last year.

So far, Shero has done a great job in the offseason.

If they don't sign Feds, I'm fine with that. I think the big one will
be Scuds. He may get a big offer elsewhere and have to take it. He's
been a great soldier in Pittsburgh all these years and this is his chance to cash in. I'm not sure Shero can go to 3 for him. I'd like to see him signed.

 

[3074326]

LA overpays for Scuds. I love Scuds, but he was our #4 d-man. He had a great postseason. $3.4 million per year was way out of our range, and really too much for a one-dimensional d-man IMO.

Congrats to him though, I really liked him and will miss seeing him out there on the blue line. Should be interesting to see how that hole is filled. I'm guessing Lovejoy.

I bought a SC champions banner too.

This is the first time in ages that the Top 6 winger situation in Pittsburgh has been so perfectly taken care of during an offseason. I'm hoping to see Lovejoy in a Pens uni next year.

 

[3074326]

Fedetenko signed for 1.8 million. Hell of a deal!

 

[Fungo Squiggly]

Feds, Adams, and Guerin all taking pay cuts to stick around. Nice to see.

Plus Hal Gill leaves for the Frogs? Seems like a winner of an off-season.

Could miss the first month of the season. :(

 

[Brutus1]

He'll be ready.
