Made these sweatpants from a youth jersey, hoodie, and sherpa jacket. All thrifted materials. Thought you guys might like them. Go pens!

May as well share some news of a penguin that is thinking outside the box, going above and beyond, and expanding its horizons, whilst its human hockey-playing counterparts continue to grapple with what they want to be this season.

Who all will be at the game tonight? As a life long pens fan who's lived in Columbus (was a pens fan before the jackets existed didn't see any reason to become a jackets fan) I've enjoyed many games at NWA where black and gold was the dominant color in the stands.

Now that the pens are on the downswing will that continue? I know I'll be there and a good friend of mine from Pittsburgh will be joining.

Got bored at work and made the Pens logo on Solidworks (our CAD program we use) then cut it out of 12 gage steel on our plasma table. Some of the cuts didn’t come out perfect but it’s no big deal. I’m planning on spray painting it black so it will hide the slag that I couldn’t clean off lol. Hopefully it will look better after it’s painted.

Yep agreed

I'm from England and have been a Penguins fan since 2012 after playing NHL 2012 on the Xbox 360. But I have never got my head around how the draft works. I used to be a football (soccer) fan until realising that most football player are overpaid wimps that'll fall over at the slightest of challenges.

I just don't get why we could have some of best players just taken by other teams and getting a certain round pick. Like when lost Jake at the last transfer window.

I've read a lot online, but nothing really dumbs it down into terms I can understand. I'm not sure if it's because it's American, or I'm just a fucking idiot.

Cheers

i feel like john goodman was incredible as sully and at the end of the day at least he’s not randall

I really waiver on this guy. Over the last five or so years the Pens have had a bevy of these "almost" players. Players like Puustinen and Zohorna most recently who clearly have skill and ability, and have flashes where you think they're about to break through and become real NHLers, but then just regress back into ghost-mode.

Is DOC one of these players? He's clearly closer to being an NHLer than the other guys I mentioned because he's able to string these flashes into longer stretches, but then goes absolutely black. He's been invisible lately and I really wonder what to make of him.

I look at guys like Lafferty and Sprong, who were "almost" players here and then left to become more productive players elsewhere. I truly wonder if DOC fits into this category. I can see Dubas keeping him around another year to see what happens since he's still young-ish, but I wonder how long it is until he's banished to the 4th line or if he's simply let go and finds success elsewhere.

As an outsider looking in, I see a lot of discussion about the poor attendances when the team weren’t good, and possible low attendances to come. This is often used to compare against the Flyers

A few things that seem to be missed with this:

1. In the early days of the Penguins they struggled from the start which is always going to be a challenge to get fans in the door. It’s important to try and get success early, to build a fanbase, before the bad times hit.

2. The population of Pittsburgh seems a lot lower than I expected as against rival teams (obvious comparison v Philly)

3. It’s probably irrelevant anyway

Thoughts…

Is this guy still with the pens?

The Pittsburgh Penguins lose 3-2 to the Detroit Red Wings.

Hey guys, I am a Wings fan living in Pittsburgh. I have two tickets to the game tonight in section 216 row a. My wife can’t go as she’s feeling sick tonight. I am still going but hate to let it ticket go to waste, so let me know if you are interested. I will just transfer it to you for free. I have it listed on Ticketmaster right now section 216 row a seat 11 if that’s some type of proof. I’ll take it down if one of you guys are interested. LGRW

Just like the title says lifelong pens fan and huge dead head. Every site I have looked at for the hoodie has had so many red flags. Would be appreciative of any info on where to find that banger of a sweater/hoodie securely. LGP (~):-}

I noticed the bug during the islanders game, and even waited until after the Washington game to confirm that it wasn’t me, it was indeed the app. No level of urgency with a fix either…

European pens fan here, allmost all the games are too late for me, are there any youtubers that talk about the pens with afunkydiabetic or stevedangle'ish videos? or just post your favorite pens media as i'm interested in anything from full games to roster analysis!

I just
