Welcome back to Penguins hockey: the only kind of hockey that actually matters to you.

Following a 10 day hiatus, the Penguins and Flyers meet once again to round out their home-and-home series, bookending the bye week and All Star Break.

Unconfirmed reports suggest that this is the longer period of days between home-and-home games.  These reports are only unconfirmed because your author refuses to do his due diligence on this particular item.  It feels like it has to be true, though, right?

At least it gave the masses enough time to come up with the most sweetest, dopest, and overall cleverest 1975 joke.  They are the coolest and everyone should absolutely make them.

Anyway, you may or may not recall that the last time out, the Penguins looked pretty lifeless, managing to score exactly 0 goals on Brian Elliott, a goalie they scored 6 goals against back in October.

That 3-0 defeat could not have left anything other than a sour taste in the flightless ones’ mouths heading into the break, a taste only equalled in bad-ness by that of Cheez-Whiz on a steak sandwich.

LINES

Penguins

With injuries still omnipresent, the Penguins called up Andrew Agozzino and Anthony Angello from WBS.  No word on Asking Alexandria’s availability.  Rumor has it they have plans for a candlelit dinner with Inamorta.
