THE BLACK-N-GOLD NEWS
PENGUINS
Our Pens went down to Carolina last Friday night and blew away the Hurricanes 7-1. The next game, on Sunday at home against the Bruins, the Pens delivered a Beantown beatdown, battering Boston in a 5-1 win.
One Penguin was rewarded for his exceptional play from the past week. F Conor Sheary was named the NHL's First Star of the Week. It's the 1st such honor for Conor. Congrats!
Our Favorite Black-N-Gold Hockey Team to stumbled on Tuesday night. They were shutout by St Louie on home ice 3-0. Prior to the game, they welcomed D Brian Dumolin from IR and sent D Cameron Gaunce back to the Baby Pens.
C Evgeni Malkin has been ruled out of the All-Star Game this weekend in LA due to a lower body injury. Also, F Patric Hornqvist suffered a lower body inury, too. Horny got better in a hurry as he registered a goal in last night's 4-3 loss at Boston. Before the game, the Pens sent D Steve Oleksy back to the Baby Pens and called up F Carter Rowney. Get well soon, Geno.
The Pens will be back on the ice on Tuesday night when the faceoff against Nashville at PPG Paints Arena. Get back in the win column. Let's Go Pens!!!!
STEELERS
Maybe you've been under a rock for the past week. Or, perhaps, you saw our Steelers performance in the AFC Championship loss the the Patriots, a 36-17 blowout, and you wish you could hide under a rock. Our Favorite Black-N-Gold Football Team's chances of beating Belichick, Brady and the Pats were lessened when RB Le'Veon Bell left the game in the 1st half with a groin injury. The Steelers made it a lot further than people expected when they were 4-6 and riding a 4-game losing streak. They'll have the 30th pick in the draft this year. Choose wisely.
Due to his injury, Bell had to bow out of this weekend's Pro Bowl. In addition, QB Ben Roethlisberger, C Maurkice Pouncey and WR Antonio Brown also declined to participate. However, LB Ryan Shazier was picked as an injury replacement and will make his 1st Pro Bowl appearance. Congrats to Shazee!
The NFL announced that RB Karlos Williams has had his suspension lifted. The Steelers re-signed Vince Williams' brother.
Get ready for the Combine and the draft and OTAs. Oh my! Let's Go Steelers!!!!!!
PIRATES
Nothing new to report from our Pirates. Our Favorite Black-N-Gold Baseball Team has pitchers and catchers reporting to Bradenton, FL on February 14. Position players are to arrive on February 17. Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
