Penguins/NHL
Latest Penguins Buzz
The dominance in the Metropolitan Division has been something else.
Columbus Blue Jackets (60 points) have won 18 of their last 21 and have points in 19 of 20.
Pittsburgh Penguins (57 points) have points in 15 of their last 16 games.
The surging Washington Capitals (57 points) have points in 16 of their last 18 games.
The New York Rangers (57 points) are 12-5 in their last 17 games.
After steam rolling through the regular season last year, Washington has flown under the radar a bit this season but are starting to look like the Capitals of last season.
The buzz surrounding the Capitals is there’s some regret in the organization that they mostly stood pat at last years deadline.
This season many are expecting to them to go all-in and add at least one impact player.
The Capitals could have been a couple bounces away from beating the Penguins in Round 2 but their Achilles heel was Pittsburgh’s superior third line and the Penguins ability to torment the Capitals bottom-pairing D, turning costly mistakes into goals.
In the summer the Capitals went out and acquired Lars Eller to be their Nick Bonino and Eller hasn’t had the impact yet that’s been expected, with 3 goals and 4 assists in 39 games.
Washington believes they match up well with Pittsburgh but are said to be on the hunt for a depth scoring forward and d-man to better position themselves.
“They’re are all in on [defenseman] Michael Stone,” an NHL source [hide] said of the Capitals interest in the Coyotes defenseman. There’s also been whispers that Washington has kicked some tires on Coyotes center Martin Hanzal, type of third line center who could be a game changer in a seven game series with the Penguins.
Meanwhile, Stone a right handed physical defenseman who moves the puck well, had a career high 36 points in 2015-2016, is coveted by multiple teams, and a player the Penguins are giving a look at as a possible trade target.
Penguin pro scouts have been tracking Stone as Pittsburgh is set to have some preliminary scouting meetings next week.
Penguin coaches would like to see the team add a stable presence on the backend by the deadline.
Adding an impact top-6 winger with term on their contract is also not being ruled out. The team has identified 3-4 targets. The Penguins have more interest in adding a long-term winger than a rental.
Another Metropolitan team believed to be hot for Stone is the New York Rangers who desperately need another top-4 defenseman.
Crosby, Malkin named to ALL-Star Game

Great save Murray…
Murray is sharp… pens gonna need at least 4 or 5 at this rate.
Other teams goalie was better.
No pens weren’t as aggressive and consistent relied on power play all night.
Danault another 2 goal night and 1 of his goal might be goal of the year. I suggest you pay close attention to him zerotool and get a hard on for him and get of bonino dickk. Also bonino 2 goals in his last God knows in how many games. Now where Is gaydogg when u need him
Bonino and hbk line had a hot run last year but this year they are nowhere near that level perron haggy trade looked good a time but now he has become a bee that doesn’t produce just like torts once said
I guess we know who sam is currently dating
bow down to your prophet
Amazing play by our russian
And our Canadian… he had an assist but I didnt even see him
Glad u are finally understanding it had to happen with Sid in order to u to wake up .while most of chubby’s points are like that .now if only yoga can see hockey same about fleury
“Most of Chubbys PPG pace are from a guy he doesn’t take a 5v5 shift with”? Wonder how he did exactly that in Toronto lol
What’d Radulov do now?
Worst game of the season for Crosby today .even tho 1 assist. pens should think striping that C from him
Pens full attack mode when they are in penalty
Hey look zerofool Malkin ,kessel and Shultz on board thanks to power play
For pens fans, that’s a good thing.
Specially for those who started to watch in April it’s good to hear their name earlier
I wish Crosby hit the board too… maybe this team would have won had Crosby played
Nvm… one assist… thank god. Without that I would have guessed it was 2011 again
If I was pens I’d trade bonino for Philip danault
Meh trade, similar guy for similar guy… its a minor move except Danault could be had for less. If hes even available…
Well according to David Pagnotta….
In fairness that guy is pretty good, cant blame him for sams BS
Danault younger and upside . plays with heart and fire while bonino can be a ghost ar times
The production and possession is negligible, if you notice a difference it’s 100% on younand your own personal bias. It’s a matter of age and potential money and that’s the only real difference.
Why was that a penalty?
Because the too many man against Washington was missed
Booooooo MAF… two goals vs the leagues most dangerous goal scorer…. boooooooo
What a shot! Ovie can bring it!
No, I’m shocked he has almost 550 goals. I’m sure 545 of them have been against MAF. What a bum…
TVA said 20 of his goals was vs fleury
Any good suggestions for slave movies.
Roots
Thx will check that one out
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Quebec_films
I see orpig Jersey in the crowd who the fuckk would invest or waste their money on that washed up Clown
I assume you had one when the two of you were still dating.
MAF shutting the door to keep it a one goal game after they sea spread to allow of his 1000th point. I don’t know about you guys but I believe it’s the power of the pink keeping it tight…
Great D by LeSuck on the goal.
Crosby will get 1000 points this season with less games played then ovi I am sure if Crosby would’ve been healthier he would’ve had 1000 points at least 2 seasons ago
No shit
Genius analysis sammich… per the fourth period
Hot take sam
all hail st.bleury! let’s in the first shot of the game again. he’s a nervous wreck again with murray on the bench. exactly what you get with a guy who paints pink on his helmet.
525 career goals… enough time in his career he will pass 700… one of the most pure scorers of alltime allowed to walk in the way he did. “I played the game”… did you? Really? I call bullshit, that was a very good goal by one of the greatest to ever do it you dumbfuck
My goal total is off… 547
He had somebody else paint it. We’ve gone over this.
Ya but Input, blah, blah, blah… only mothers, blah, blah, blah. Pink isnt hockey, blah, blah, blah… fuck his daughters because I think it’s sissy shit even though I’m a massive coward, blah, blah, blah
Cue yoda… one of the greatest goal scorers all time gets his 1000th point….
Cue Yoda….. Fleury let’s in another first shot of the game, haha.
making excuses for your pinked out lover god.
Coming from the fucken loser that excuses Murray for the same shit he cries loudly when MAF does it? Kill yourself douchebag
Just finished watching this weird movie Django. Best part was the music in the begging of the movie
Figures that amazing piece of work would be well outside your ability to comprehend, Dicaprio could ave won an oscar for that role and Christoff Waltz was awesome.
Which part of the movie is the begging.

Fragile Murray reminds me of Ladarius Green.
zero is pumped to see the pink writing on st.mommy’s mask tonight. he loves how the saint expresses his love for his daughters during the game.
Almost as much as I’m looking forward to another classic yoda meltdown about something utterly pointless… which colour you gonna show an utter fear of next? 100 bucks says it’s purple
More like classic Yoda hiding
tonight the patron saint is getting the start. with st.bleury in, the pens need 5 to win. bow down to your prophet
Jaded lover FroYo back in the house – get ready for him to go into a week of hiding if they win tonight. You know how he does.
As long as they win, I don’t care.
Oh please – I’m to the point now where I have two reasons to want them to win – because I love the team, and because it buys me like 3 days of not having to see yoda meltdown like an 8 year old girl that just learned the Jonas Brothers had to cancel a tour stop in her city.
If he was smart, he’d fake an injury after the first 2 goals like Murray did last time he played Washington.
Guy was undefeated or close to it in December… yet here is dumbfuck running his mouth
Sam is the worst at NHL on PS4. I suggest anybody that has one play against him at least once. Not only to see how bad he is but listen to how he talks. It will help get an understanding of why he posts the shitt he does on here.
I don’t wanna give him my ps name because he’s fucking weird but I’m curious to hear this… what a paradox lol
Rothey sounds like a kid going through puberty
Props on the sentence structure.
Landeskog’s career production mirrors what Conor Sheary is doing this year. Impressive.
Duchene over Landeskog
Pens could use a goalie

I’m sure somewhere Shero is happy while Bennett gets jealous
Almost time to blow this team up. Another 4 weeks, then the rebuild should begin.
Hope they can build a entertaining team so npl comes back.
Wait… the Pens are thinking the back end is priority to the wing? Not plausible. I mean just the other week yoda told us the defence was far better this year, good enough that we could even lose Letang without worrying about them.
Then he told us all he was terrified of the colour pink…
Stone would be an interesting add although his career possession numbers have been the shits. Doesn’t quite fit the mould overall.
consider the source…yoda…only thing he can do is blame the goalie for a loss….and somehow accuse the goalie of being bad during a 5 game win streak?….but,..yes…..consider the source
The caps cannot match 3 lines with the pens. Pens put their best winger on the 3rd line because sid and geno carry the first two, caps can’t do that.
hanzel – so hot right now
Last 2 weeks Habs had him on their radar since their centers are injured galchenyuk and desharnais
Why would anyone on this site care what the Habs are doing?
Sam does… because it’s his favourite team
Because I like to advise it not only pens interested on the same player and happens to be Habs if it was another team I would bring to site attention. It’s good to see outside of the box sometimes. But here you clowns thing every single player in NHL wants to come and play for the pens as we saw at the end of DB times players didn’t want to come here anymore remember Parise? Remember hamhuis ? Till today he doesn’t want to come here. Remember how Niskanen felt about this circus organization after he left this team, Martin.… Read more »
Remind us – how did Niskanen feel, pork chop. As told per thefourthperiod.com.
Ah true u don’t know how Niskanen felt about the organization after he was gone forgot your hockey resource stops here on this site. Or maybe you are too busy giving thumbs down to people and have a remark in people’s comments. Only one that you enjoy and take side is npl, gaydogg and zerotool
Who gives a shit how he felt… he was acting like a fucken baby and he missed out on a ring, him and Orpik. Fuck Em both and fuck you too
He was so mad at the organization that he lobbied for Rierden I guess….I guess they didn’t post about that on thefourthperiod.com.
Maybe it was posted on this site where you got all your informations when u were on break from your Donut store
Ba-zing sam. Like, do you see what I mean about you being HORRIBLE at this?
I’d take your side if you were ever right – but you’re not – you’re a moron. Who lets his mom pay for his sirius.
You clearly don’t read anything said out here… either that or you enjoy making shit up like the other fucken idiots that tend to draw the ire of the board. “Remember Hamhuis”? You mean the guy everyone shit on the other day for his past with this team… what a dumbfuck you are. Gotta make shit up to make yourself feel vindicated in your own eye when you’re nothing but a fourthparrot lol
according to thefourthperiod.com
That never gets old!
