Penguins Announce 2020-21 Regular Season Schedule (nhl.com) Many Philly related articles listed below top article.
Pens look the same as last year. Porous defensively.
How long has that been empty? How many people could have had jobs there? How much tax revenue the city and county has lost? Shameful.
I don’t know the detail but sounds like there may be multiple cooks in that particular kitchen.
Once again, Gritty was dancing, and @TheGLOV was silent. 
This exchange reminds me of story about my dad who had been a meteorologist on the uss ranger in ww2 and eventually became a science teacher. One day he took his students on a field trip to the national weather service office. Looking at the guys staring at computer models, he asked their host where all the barometers, anemometers, and other data gathering equipment was. The host replied, “in a museum”. 🙂
Just more dismal news for the Pittsburgh sports scene. Pittsburgh has morphed from the city of champions to the city of losers. The Pens have 3 geriatric stars and little else. They likely won't make the playoffs this year. The Steelers had their last gasp this season and made the playoffs. Next year they will be fighting with the Bungles to stay out of last place. The Pirates are the worst team in the majors and will stay that way for a long time given the lack of fan support, stingy owner, and putrid TV revenue. pitt football team loses 5 or 6 games every year even though they play a MAC level schedule. This year they got 3 four star players out of 23 recruits and they are dizzy celebrating their good fortune. Pittsburgh sports is in the toilet with no hope in sight.
Oh please. The penguins will be fine. They may indeed may not make the playoffs, which could be said about any team in the mass mutual east (tm), but that’s because it’s a buzzsaw.
As for me, circumstances are conspiring against me and I have yet to be able to sit back and enjoy a full hockey game. And I will probably miss the first and second today and I will miss Tuesday. Sigh.
I only caught the third period, and my observations are thus: (i) the Violet clearly has not done much yet to address the Caps' recent problems with zone breakouts; (ii) that was quite a failure of a character test by the Caps if I ever saw one; (iii) I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that Chara does not last the season because, man, he looked exceptionally slow; (iv) that was a HELLA stretch pass by your goalie - just a great play in the circumstances.
As to ownership, recent history wouldn't really support that, and there are still six games for the hate to brew!!
But congrats on the 4 pts.
Not only should he be out of the league but he should be in prison!
Global pandemic, political turmoil for longer than the pandemic. Closest to a civil war we've been in 150 years. I enjoyed the living shit out of that game last night. Pens and Caps always have great games.
Rookie goalie, yada, yada, yada. Pens were down to 4 defensemen. My only complaint about the Pens is, for years, they need to get someone to knock the ****ing taste out of Wilson's mouth. Anyway, only one score really matters: 5-1.
I heard all year that Reirden was taking over after the season. As an Islanders fan I am happy the Caps screwed that up, however it went down.

Good luck with the Wilson part.
meanwhile, it appears that Russians gonna Russian. Not a good thing for Ted leonsis inc given the parallel wizards postponements.
As a fan and a human being, I’d follow Barry trotz and Mitch korn into a burning building. (My son used to go to Korn's goalie camps - extraordinary communicator and teacher!)

It's always funny to see fans that gave a standing ovation to a guy celebrating giving a player a concussion get all butt hurt about a guy who plays physical.
Nice come back again for the Pens tonight, although that first goal was a gift. Seems when you watch them so far this season there is no use turning the game on until they are down 2 goals .....
