It's a special ticket package giveaway, sadly, but this is amazing!

There was no way I was missing Flowers hall of fame induction! We'll be making the drive up from VA!

Was scrolling through eBay looking for deals on old James Neal jerseys and this popped up. Idk how I got so lucky but I’m very happy to finally add this to my collection

Murashov wore this gold alternate jersey on November 22, 2025, against the Seattle Kraken at PPG Paints Arena. Making his fourth appearance of his rookie season, Murashov stopped 18 of 21 shots as Pittsburgh fell 3–2 in overtime. He finished the game with an .857 save percentage and a 2.80 goals-against average

Malkin going on RR 1.0, still deciding who to have added to 2.0 but I'm leaning Letang.

Post kept getting removed since we're not allowed to share articles from DK Pittsburgh Sports, but they're the ones breaking the story. I reckon I'll post the source in the comments.

I’m visiting Pittsburgh for the first time to cross off a bucket list item of seeing the Penguins play at home and I’m having trouble picking where to sit. Planning on splurging more than I’d usually pay since it’s a special trip. I have my eye on these seats, thoughts? I know a lot of people say higher rows of the lower bowls for the best overall view of the game, but I’ve never been able to sit so close to the glass before and I’m definitely tempted.

Club 102
Row F Seats 5-6
(Few rows behind Penguins bench)

Section 110
Row B Seats 9-10
(Second row on double attack side, closest to glass seats as possible)

Club 111
Row G Seats 9-10
(Slightly more towards double attack side and 7 rows up to get some more visibility but still close)

Club 112
Row C S17-18
(corner of penalty box)

Club 112
Row H Seats 11-12
(Center ice and 8 rows up to get some visibility but still close)t

Thought everyone would be interested to hear HCDM be interviewed. We’re almost out of the doldrums of hockey.

With hockey season right around the corner, it’s time for irrational posts. What is one deficiency from last year that you would want corrected? A weird stat? A player’s failings? General headscratchery?

I’ll start: protecting leads. It’s probably the most glaring issue from last year team. As well as they played and with where they finished up, they left so much out there. Nov/early Dec were brutal. I’d love for them to have that strong defensive play with the lead and close games out like nobody’s business. Maybe it’s wishful thinking, but it’s what I want to see improved upon.

And he was just 22 at the time, right?

The Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation has opened job applications for this year’s 50/50 sellers.

Does anyone have any experience doing this, and can you share what it’s like-scheduling, pay rate, and any perks or challenges?

Seems like it could be a good way to make some extra money, but they don’t list the pay rate and just say it will be discussed at the interview.

had this shipped to my dad but completely forgot about it since there was never a notification on shipping. He has an office that my girlfriend calls "The Shrine" so I figured this stuff would go well there. he did a pretty good job sending me a photo of it all!

I’m one of the people that gets in line around 7 am specifically for a shot righty sticks. This year’s sale was horrendous especially with the $300 price tag on some of the bigger names. I could get a brand new Rust or Karlsson stick brand new for less after shipping from this website.

They have Brunicke, St. Ivany, Rust, Karlsson, Acciari, Dumba and some team stocks for the righties listed. I feel like the Penguins should’ve kept at least some of these sticks for their own sale so people will continue to come back year after year.

This isn’t the first drop this summer either. I believe there was one back in June or July and I wouldn’t be surprised if other equipment (protective, skates, etc.) gets posted in the coming days.

A few weeks ago, I posted Part 1 of my series on whether last season’s Pens were ACTUALLY good or just lucky.

For Part 2, I tried to divide the credit. Here’s my rough breakdown:

• Kyle Dubas: ~10 points
• Dan Muse: ~5 points
• Pure luck/variance: ~3 points

That might sound contradictory to Part 1, where I called a non-trivial portion of the turnaround luck. The difference is that Part 1 measured what the Penguins’ team-level process could predict (on paper). This time, I tried to identify the sources of those unexpected results.

Credit and repeatability aren’t the same thing. Dubas deserves credit for identifying an undervalued player like Anthony Mantha, even if nobody could have predicted the hottest finishing season of Mantha’s career.

Muse’s strongest case is the penalty kill. His last three teams improved from 15th to 6th, 13th to 3rd, and 18th to 6th in the NHL in his first season.

Dubas gets the largest share because his additions scored roughly 20 goals above raw expected goals. About half was supported by their established finishing histories; the rest exceeded any reasonable projection.

Some of that was statistically lucky, but the Penguins were only in position to benefit because Dubas acquired those players and Muse put them on the ice.

How would you divide the credit?

I saw a few posts about individual boxes, felt like it might be fun to just have one thread. Share what you got! I had the Letang bobble head, Hawaiian shirt, pillow, ice tray, and Mantha auto puck. I got the Mantha signed photo during the charity bag sale earlier so now I have the set haha.

They all look so young..

Got my mystery box in and pretty pumped with what I got. The puck goes great with my malkin and Erik Karlsson pucks that I already have 😁
