The Coin Flip that is Matt Murray
Well, if anyone listened to the Two Beers Deep live podcast yesterday (which you definitely should because they are GREAT), you might have heard me say during the hockey talky segment that the Penguins weren’t going to win last night… UNLESS (KEYWORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Matt Murray showed up to play. Trust me, I LOVE being wrong aboutContinueContinue reading “The Coin Flip that is Matt Murray”
Early season woes for the Steel City?
Well…the game for the Penguins last night started out great! Sidney Crosby scored to put them ahead within the first minute of the game. It looked like we were going to easily rout the Jets…I mean they haven’t won in Pittsburgh since 2006 so this should be easy right?

TFTB Penguins Recap: Game 2
These were the Pittsburgh Penguins we all know and love. A HUGE bounce-back from dropping the home opener against the Sabres. Granted, the Columbus Blue Jackets are very bad now, with most of the firepower from last season gone, but nonetheless, a victory is a victory. Open the Flood Gates The goals and points wereContinueContinue reading “TFTB Penguins Recap: Game 2”

TFTB Penguins Recap: Game 1
Hmmmmm………. Honestly, not too sure what to say about this game. It wasn’t AWFUL, but it wasn’t great either. The Pens competed, but the Sabres wanted it more, and the killing blow came from a familiar face too. Revenge is a dish best served cold Yeah, that’s right, Conor Sheary (S H A R EContinueContinue reading “TFTB Penguins Recap: Game 1”

Let’s Do That Hockey
Wayne Gretzky. Mario Lemieux. Deke. The holy trinity of hockey greatness. You thought Baseball was my favorite sport? man were you wrong. I’m a bigger hockey fan than Vo and Johnny Violence combined, and it’s pretty obvious. Do either of them have Sid Crosby’s 1000th point ticket or booklet? Nope. Just me. Small talk aside,ContinueContinue reading “Let’s Do That Hockey”
Blues in 6
Tonight is the fifth game of the NHL Stanley Cup Final. Both combatants are tied at two games a piece. To this point we have had a fairly even series. With both teams holding a blowout victory and two close games. Which would already make game five a pinnacle moment in the series, but itContinueContinue reading “Blues in 6”
