Mike Schmidt makes his debut on the hockey side tomorrow - look for his ramblings each of the next three days. Here's an interesting one - the Pens claimed Cal O'Reilly off of re-entry waivers. I can't think of a worst fit for him. First off, the Pens haven't been the great in [...]
The NHL All-Star break provided a well received opportunity for some of the NHL’s walking wounded to heal up and make a return to action. The ongoing Sidney Crosby injury saga has literally become a pain in the neck! Here is the latest injury news.

One special player, in a monstrous breakout year, hit a whopping 98 points and was the second-ranked player in Yahoo rotisserie pools last season. His name – Corey Perry.
