Suspensions in the NHL
By Bob Haynes – Follow me on Twitter @BobHaynesJr So we all know that the fine structure in the CBA is useless for fining players for illegal contact. The maximum fine of $2500 is useless as a deterrent to prevent future hits that target the head. So the league needs to react to that value [...]

Pittsburgh Penguins Notebook – February 17th, 2012
By Joe Depto (@PensDeptoTFP) The Pittsburgh Penguins roller coaster ride seems to be coming to an end.

Pittsburgh Penguins Can Improve Short-Term Problems With a Few New Years Resolutions
By Joe Depto (@PensDeptoTFP) To say 2011 was an exhausting calendar year for the Pittsburgh Penguins would be an arduous understatement.

Pens Ready For Opening Night Despite Key Pieces Missing

Fantasy Hockey 101
By Ryan Harrison With the first overall pick in the 2011-2012 Fantasy Hockey draft, Renegades select… Ovechkin? Crosby? Lundqvist? Malkin?
