What the hell was that, well here is the postgame

On a spooky Monday night in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, the Pittsburgh Penguins hosted the Anaheim Ducks in an emotional evening. The evening started with a touching tribute to Adam Johnson, a former Penguin and current hockey player in Europe who tragically lost his life over this last weekend. Our th...

Another heartbreaker vs The Sens, we got last nights write-up below

With the Penguins’ season 8 games underway following one of its busiest offseasons in arguably franchise history, the product hitting the ice to open the season can be addressed in one word: woof. All Penguins fans heart rates have synced to the pulse of Morse code for SOS. We are officially in tr...

Last night's post-game write-up. Pens drop a 3rd straight in a tough loss to the Dallas Stars at home.

It was hockey night in Pittsburgh last night as the Penguins began a four-game home stand taking on the Dallas Stars. Before I dive into the game itself, I want to note that this is my first post-game article of the season and I could not be more thrilled to continue writing with this amazing […]

A game straight from Dubas' wet dream as the Penguins 5 goal 3rd period kills the Flames on 10/14/23 thepensigloo.com

14/10/2023

This looked a lot more like the Penguins we were hoping for this year

Think about the Penguins’ last three games, three losses, two to the Chicago Blackhawks and one to the Columbus Blue Jackets. That gives me an ick that only watching the Pittsburgh Steelers trying to play offense can give me. Thankfully, we get a good ol’ Penguins Capitals matchup to cleanse the...

First Day of Free Agency ✅
How do you think Kyle Dubas did on the first day? If you missed it we got you covered below!

If you missed the opening day of the 2023 Free Agency period for the NHL, we have you covered. Kyle Dubas (President of Hockey Operations) enters his first offseason with the Pittsburgh Penguins, after signing with the team and gaining full authority to choose the club’s direction. He made quick w...

In Kyle Dubas we trust 🫡

It’s been almost a month since the entire city of Pittsburgh celebrated the Penguins bringing on Kyle Dubas as the President of Hockey Operations, following a disastrous front office tenure from the undercover Flyers agent. Since then a few front-office moves have been made, but Penguins fans have...

Tonight is the first round of the NHL draft, who do you think the Penguins are going to select in the first round. Read what we think below 🤓

In the 2023 NHL Draft, at Pick Number 14, The Pittsburgh Penguins select… The Pittsburgh Penguins hold the number 14th pick in the 2023 NHL draft, which takes place tonight, June 28th, 2023 at 7 PM EST. The Pens also have a 3rd round pick (via New Jersey), a 5th, 6th, and two 7th-round picks(via [...

Its not looking good for the Dubas to Pittsburgh camp after todays' press conference

Well, this has been an odd month for Penguins fans huh? With the conference finals right around the corner, and the draft sneaking up on us, Penguins fans are still patiently waiting for FSG to put in place a new front office, their first big task since acquiring the Penguins. The biggest name float...

It was at the end of the article/rant but thank you to everyone who joined us in our inaugural season! What started as a passion project between two friends has blossomed into a six person team with room to grow. Big changes are coming before next season starting with a website rehaul/revamp, a new primary logo, gameday meetups, and overall more content from our group! We're excited to see what's to come, and excited if you've decided to come along on this journey with us. Lets go Pens!

We have nothing good to say about tonight, go next.

This is supposed to be a post-game article for the Penguins and Blue Jackets in the final game of the 2022-2023 season. A season filled with hope and excitement surrounding the Penguins as the big 3 geared up for their final few runs at Lord Stanley’s Cup. Instead, here we are, watching the first ...

Before the first pointless game of Penguins hockey tonight in 16 years, lets take a look back at where it all went wrong

Penguins vs Blackhawks on 4/11/23. Playoff hopes are on the line for the Penguins in this must-win game. thepensigloo.com

08/04/2023

Who else would you want to drag your team into the playoffs?

Pittsburgh rolled into the Motor City today to take on the Red Wings in another must-win game to secure a spot in the playoffs. The Penguins are looking to build off the big win at home against a red-hot Minnesota Wild team the other day. The first period started off a little rocky for the […]

The Penguins are stepping up when they need to most. With three games remaining, every point is precious in the wild card race.

This is arguably the most important game of the Penguins’ season. Sitting one point behind in a three-team race for the two wildcard spots in the East, every point matters in the season’s final four games. To make things even more interesting, the teams the Penguins are trying to catch, the Flor...

Tough loss, but there's always game three on Saturday

The Penguins and Rangers enter Game Two of a three-game mini-playoff series. The Penguins lead the series 1-0, but unfortunately don’t eliminate the Rangers if they win. Despite it not actually being a playoff series, game one certainly felt like a playoff game, and there’s no reason to think th...

The Penguins showed resolve in a tough loss, but the bigger question mark moving forward is Tristan Jarry, once again pulled after the first period.

The good guys are at home again facing off against the Montreal Canadiens. The Pens are looking to build off the energy from their previous two wins, despite some injuries. Nick Bonino is out with a lacerated kidney and Dimitry Kulikov is out with a lower-body injury. This means P.O. Joseph gets the...

If you stuck this game out, you deserved to see that beautiful comeback effort from the boys

After an embarrassing loss to the Panthers in Florida, the Penguins are back in Pittsburgh to face off against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Let me say who the Penguins are playing again, THE COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS, the team that is literally at the bottom of the league. So if you’re the Penguins, you...

Despite all the outside noise, the Penguins are quietly coming into form, and at just the right time

The Penguins meet the Lightning for the 2nd time this week. They look to prove that they are still contenders.

The Penguins are getting hot at the right time, feeling like its them against the world

After refreshing Twitter what felt like a thousand times waiting for a trade announcement, I found myself forgetting the Penguins had a game against the Nashville Predators. I mentioned it in the write-up I did for the Pens – Sharks game, but it’s incredible the continuity this franchise has bee...

The good times keep rolling in Pittsburgh! What a weekend for the boys

To be frank, I thought that the Pens were going to get absolutely swept tonight. So, I did as any reasonable person would do and began to make blueberry muffins while watching the game. Unbeknownst to me, I do not own a muffin pan. I had to make it in the form of a loaf. […]

24/02/2023

Tonight was an absolute embarrassment. If FSG cares at all about their multi-billion dollar investment, there will be firings in the next 24 hours.

Part of me really wanted to be optimistic before this game. That part of me is really dumb and ignores reality. At the end of 60 minutes, this felt like a funeral. A funeral for the active playoff streak record across major sports, and hopefully a funeral for Ron Hextall’s tenure as GM of the […...

19/02/2023

Most of us are clamoring for the Penguins to make a move, so we decided to do it for them.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months, you’ve probably noticed a swelling impatience amongst Penguins’ fans when it comes to the work of GM Ron Hextall. Maybe we’re all still jaded by the Jim Rutherford experience, where roster shake-ups were plenty, and trade rumors...

Nothing like a little late night action on Valentine's Day for the boys out in Cali

There must be two different Casey DeSmiths. Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen him give up 5 goals in back-to-back games, and we’ve seen him carry this team to victory, much like what occurred last night. Ignoring what happened on Saturday, DeSmith has been pretty solid in the month of February...

Here's hoping you chose to stay up late Friday night, and not last night. It wasn't pretty, but our writer Jack's analysis of that dumpster fire sure is

What do you get when you combine a West Coast 10:00 PM game, the longest retirement ceremony in NHL history, and the most bizarre officiating this side of the Mississippi? To quote Sidney Crosby last night: “Can I really say what I think? Let’s be honest here…” We knew this was going to be a...

Is this what rock bottom feels like?

If you missed this game, all I have to say is sorry. We've got you covered on all you missed though

You knew you were going to be in for a wild one when both Tristan Jarry and Spencer Knight were held out of warmups. Just like that it’s the battle of the backups, Casey DeSmith vs Alex Lyon. On the bright side, Kris Letang returned to the lineup tonight, a welcome addition to the blue […]

Time flies when you're having fun? Somehow we're already at the halfway point of the season, and its been a roller coaster ride for the Penguins up to this point.

It feels like this season, more so than others in the past, there have been more teams that are extremely streaky. Many go on long winning heaters, while others go on a long stretch before breaking their slump. The Pittsburgh Penguins are no exception to this trend. Currently, the Penguins are fifth...

Another rough night to be a Penguins fan, is it time for some new blood in the lineup?

It’s time to shake things up, desperate times call for desperate measures. Hextall? Gone. Burke? Gone. Fenway Sports Group? I’ve had it up to here with them too! Bring GMJR home — stat. Sell him the team for cheap while we’re cleaning house. The real question is, are we ready to clean house?...
