Over the moon for Jordan Staal, one of my favorite players to cover during two-plus decades on Penguins beat. He is as authentic as he is strong. Good on ya, Jordy. One early. Another late. Carolina a deserving champ. #StanleyCup

I think of the late Ray Shero with every Jordan Staal goal. He always said, “Jordan Staal is the type of player who wins you Stanley Cups.” #StanleyCup

The 2026.27 campaign will mark the 21st season of the longest-tenured trio in major North American professional sports history. No one has worn a Pittsburgh jersey longer than the @penguins' Big Three.

While Evgeni Malkin's #pens extension is worth $5.5 million guaranteed, sources say he can also earn: ** $500,000 in games played bonuses ** $1M if #pens qualify for the playoffs ** $500,000 for each playoff round won Malkin's new contract includes a no-movement clause

Cognitive Speech Therapy homework Time: 08:28.48 My short term memory and speech issues are partly linked, and exercises like this have not been easy. But I’ve made some strides, at least with the exercises, over last couple of weeks. #FND 🧡 #Migraine 💜 #ChronicIllness 🫶🏻

The consensus among people in the Penguins organization? Sergei Murashov is ready for the NHL. On Murashov and a number of other prospects, plus other tidbits: nytimes.com/athletic/7270509…

What I’m hearing about Penguins prospect reinforcements: Sergei Murashov is ready

The Penguins want to get younger this summer, and Murashov tops the list. But he's not the only prospect pushing for NHL ice time.

You’d think 20 years of idiosyncratic behavior and a long track record of not giving a damn about what anybody else thinks would be enough to have people stop speculating about what Aaron Rogers might do And yet here we are.

Insight on the @GoldenKnights withholding permission from #Oilers to interview Bruce Cassidy: hockey247.com/2026/05/12/fra…

Sources: Golden Knights have withheld permission for Oilers to interview Bruce Cassidy

The Oilers are contemplating significant changes to their coaching staff and to this point, the rival Golden Knights have not outright denied, but more so kept Edmonton waiting.

May is #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth I’m diagnosed with #ADHD (inattentive), anxiety, and depression. And I’m finding it particularly challenging during my current battle with chronic #migraine and #FND to stay on top of my mental health. So I’m headed to talk therapy today. 💚
