THE BLACK-N-GOLD NEWS
STEELERS
The injuries continue to pile up on our Steelers as more roster moves were made. The Steelers placed LB Steven Johnson on injured reserve. They re-signed LB LJ Fort to take his place. It was also announced that their defensive captain, DE Cam Heyward, would miss the remainder of the season with a pectoral injury.
Some good news for some former Steelers this week, G Alan Faneca and WR Hines Ward were named as semifinalists for the 2017 Pro Football Hall of Fame. Good luck on getting the gold jacket to both!
Our Favorite Black-N-Gold Football Team officially placed Cam the Man and WR Markus Wheaton on IR. Get well soon, Cam & Markus! They also activated LB Bud Dupree from IR and promoted RB Daryl Richardson from the practice squad.
The Steelers found the win column in Cleveland on Sunday with a 24-9 victory over the Clowns. They are now tied for 1st in the AFC north at 5-5. The Baltimorons are also in 1st and currently hold the tiebreaker. The Steelers can claim the top spot all for themselves with a win on Thursday night at Indy. Celebrate Thanksgiving with your loved ones by sharing some dessert while cheering the Steelers on to a win. Let's Go Steelers!!!!!!
PENGUINS
Our Penguins had an up-and-down week. They traveled to Washington DC and got crushed by the Capitals 7-1.
They also were hit with injuries. F Patric Hornqvist is day-to-day with a concussion. F Chris Kunitz is out with a lower-body injury. Get well soon, Horny & Kuni!
The Pens got back in the win column on Friday night. They defeated the Islanders 3-2 in overtime. There was bonus hockey again on Saturday. Unfortunately, the Pens fell to the Sabres 2-1 in a shootout.
Our Favorite Black-N-Gold Hockey team ultimately placed Kuni on injured reserve. In a corresponding move, they called up F Jake Guentzel from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
Guentzel made his presence known last night, scoring the Pens 2 goals in a 5-2 loss to the NY Rangers. Congrats to Jake for scoring his 1st NHL goal on his 1st shot! They'll have a chance for revenge when they travel to New York tomorrow night to faceoff against the Rangers. Find the net and find the win column. Let's Go Pens!!!!
PIRATES
The hot stove hasn't heated up yet for our Pirates. However, our Favorite Black-N-Gold Baseball Team did make 1 move this week. They added RH Clay Holmes to the 40-man roster. We'll see if they make more moves as the offseason progresses. Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
