THE BLACK-N-GOLD NEWS
PENGUINS
Our Penguins continued their March to the Stanley Cup playoffs. C Sidney Crosby led the way. Sid was named NHL 2nd Star of the Week last week. Congrats, Captain!
The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton shuffle continues. F Oskar Sundqvist and D Frank Corrado were called up from WB/S. D Derrick Pouliot was sent back to the Baby Pens.
The Pens defeated Buffalo last week, 3-1. Another game, another injury. F Jake Guentzel left the game with a concussion and hasn't return to action since. Get well soon, Guentzel! F Josh Archibald made the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton trip.
The Pens dropped a 2-1 shoutout to the Senators to end their 2-game road trip.
Another move was made. D David Warsofsky was re-called from WB/S. Corrado was sent back down.
The Pens returned home and lost another shoutout on Friday. The Isles edged our Favorite Black-N-Gold Hockey Team 4-3. The Pens fell to Philly Sunday night 6-2. Last night, the losses continued for the Pens. They were battered by the Blackhawks 5-1. There are only a half dozen games to go in the regular season. The chance of winning the division and securing home ice is fading fast. They need to get healthy in a hurry and get back in the win column. This means you, Tanger & Geno & Hags & Maatta & Daley & Hainsey & Jake & etc. The Pens take their show on the road to MSG to faceoff against the Rangers tomorrow night. It will be a great day for hockey and a great day for a Pens win. Let's Go Pens!!!!
PIRATES
Our Pirates worked to get their roster down to the 25-man limit and ready for Opening Day at Fenway on Monday. They optioned RH Pat Light to Triple A and assigned RHs Angel Sanchez and LH Jared Lakind to minor league camp.
The cuts continued for our Favorite Black-N-Gold Baseball Team. They sent C Elias Diaz and INF Max Moroff to Indy. RHs Brandon Cumpton, Jason Stoffel and Edgar Santana, OF Eury Perez, LH Dan Runzler, 3B Eric Wood and 1B Joey Terdoslavich were assigned to minor league camp.
Also optioned to Triple A Indy were LH Steven Brault and INF Gift Ngoepe. RH Josh Lindblom and INF Jason Rogers were sent to minor league camp.
The chances of 3B Jung Ho Kang playing for the Bucs this season took a hit. Kang's request for a work visa was denied due to his 3 DUIs in South Korea. There is also a rumor that another incident occurred in a "3rd country". It is not known if/when Kang will be permitted a work visa. His status remains in limbo.
Former 1st round pick, OF Austin Meadows, was assigned to minor league camp. This was Meadows' 1st taste of Major League camp and he 21-year-old impressed. It surely won't be his last.
Following abysmal spring training performances, RH Drew Hutchison, the throw-in in the Francisco Liriano salary dump, was optioned to Indy and RH Jared Hughes was released.
The Buccos finished the Grapefruit League with a 19-11-1 mark. They now travel to Montreal to battle the Blue Jays in exhibition games on Friday night and Saturday afternoon. They still have 31 players on the roster. They need to trim that to 25 by the end of the weekend. Mrs. Black-N-Gold will have her Pirates preview for you this weekend, too. Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
STEELERS
Our Steelers actually made some free agent signings within the last week. Nothing earth-shattering, just some depth pieces. They signed former Jacksonville 1st round pick, DL Tyson Alualu, fromer KC RB/return man Knile Davis and former Giants DB Coty Sensabaugh.
Our Favorite Black-N-Gold now gets ready for OTAs, the draft and locking up RB Le'Veon Bell to a long-term deal. Let's Go Steelers!!!!!!
