The Pittsburgh Penguins are ALIVE!

 Rolling out 8 wins in their last 10 games the Penguins carry a 3 game winning streak into a Friday night game against rival Ovie and the Caps.  

 Phil Kessel is a quiet hero in Pittsburgh amassing more points than both Malkin and Crosby thus far.  

 I dropped Patric Hornqvist about a month ago in my hockey pool and now the guy has 30 points halfway through the season.  Of course he does. 

 Everyone loves hating on the Penguins....the new Blackhawks even...but you gotta respect winning back to back Stanley Cups under a salary cap.  A few weeks ago it was looking like this team may have to battle it out to make the playoffs.  Now they may be battling to win the conference.  Crazy times mid season.

First off don't even think that this was Matt Cooke being a dirty player and that he did this on purpose. It was just one of those freak plays that happen. No timeline has been given yet for Karlsson's return but I think its safe to say that he won't be back this season. Hopefully he can return from this injury and still be a great player. We already have Michalek playing on robotic knees so hopefully EK can get a hold of Milo's doctor. Speaking of Michalek he also disappeared before the game last night with a mysterious undisclosed injury. No word on what exactly is the extent of his injury yet. So without Spezza, Michalek, Karlsson and Jared Cowen I think its safe to say we are fucked and need to focus on shipping out Gonchar at the deadline and going

With the March Madness NCAA Basketball tournament starting up tomorrow, people all over North America and abroad are filling out their brackets.  Even President Obama gets in on the action each year. Though my knowledge in sports lies pretty much in the world of hockey, I've been attempting brackets for the past six years.  This year my final four are: Kentucky, Syracuse, Missouri, and North Carolina. When it comes to the NHL nobody gets excited and fills out an NHL playoff bracket.  I am here to change that today. Since my creative juices are lacking in humour during this dismal time in Montreal, I thought I'd throw together an NHL bracket of my own based on the NHL Playoffs matches that would be happening if the season ended last night. Please feel free to rip me apart in the comment section. 1st Round  East: New York Rangers vs Washington Capitals Winner: New York Rangers in 5 Boston Bruins vs Ottawa Senators Winner: Boston Bruins in 5 Florida Panthers vs New J
