Hi! I'm a Devils fan living in the Pittsburgh metro going to Tuesdays game. When buying tickets, where are the best places to sit at PPG?

It’s our opportunity to trade EK, one prospect and 2 of our 1st for A.Matthews 👍

Mavs did it, so we also can 🙂

• Hope is the dream of a waking man: A quote by Pliny the Elder 
• To live without hope is to cease to live: A quote by Fyodor Dostoyevsky 

Hope springs eternal. Hope is the one emotion that can't be defeated. (According to Sandman). I look at our minor league goalies? I have hope. I saw the jettisoning of four if not bad, but certainly questionable contracts by Dubas? I have hope. I see Sidney Crosby doing "Sidney Crosby things" on a nightly basis? I have hope.

I hope you do too.

I’ve been a huge Crosby fan my whole life but I cannot seem to find a signed authentic jersey online that isn’t some sketchy website or eBay. Does he not do public signings or just signings in general? Fanatics never has any so I’m kinda at a loss. I legit will shovel out a lot of money and drive to Pittsburgh for one. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The Pittsburgh Penguins win 3-0 against the Nashville Predators.

How do we feel about Ned? I know everyone for good reason was hating Jarry, but Ned seems to be super solid.

My buddy at work saw his send off in Montreal and posed the question. Has an athlete ever been this loved by every fan base the way Flower has?

Hello everyone, I ended up with 2 extra upper bowl tickets tonight. Send a message if you want them

Claimed!

What time should I be in line at the gate to get one? Thanks for the answers

Does anyone know the definitive rules for the type/size/etc of posters you’re allowed to bring in to the arena?

I’ve been trying to look online but while I’ve read some things are expressly forbidden (e.g. signs on poles or sticks), I can’t find a comprehensive guide to what IS allowed.

At the time Heinen was on the team, I was on a hiatus from watching sports in general. His stats look like a solid 3rd/4th liner, and at the time Sully had nothing but praise for him, but how was he when he was here the first time?

I’ve always had this idea that there are some players who, no matter who they play for after leaving, will always be Real Penguins. Obviously, guys like Crosby, Malkin, Letang and Rust are real Penguins. Guys like Phil Bourque and Ulf Sammuelsson, but what about Marcus Petterson? Who are some others that people consider real Penguins? Here are just a few from recent years who I’d consider Real Penguins. Kunitz Fleury Dupuis Has anyone else ever pondered this?

Can't believe we not only brought this guy back, but he's signed through next year, too...

I honestly love this piece of the deal. I took some data from NST. I'll show his advanced stats from EDM and VAN:

EDM 23/24: CF%: 51.91, FF%: 51.77, SF%: 52.58%, xGF%: 53.91, HDCF%: 57.81, HDGF% 58.82

VAN 24/25: CF%: 47.13, FF%: 46.58, SF%: 48.28, xGF%: 49.73%, HDCF%: 48.12, HDGF%: 50.00

Clearly proper deployment will be key in him having success with the Pens, but we see he's capable of providing average defense while allowing his team to create chances while he's on the ice. What I do love about him his he's capable of being the physical shutdown dman they've been missing.

One of the biggest weaknesses I've noticed in the last few years is having a dman who can clear bodies out of the crease. Our goalies have been under constant harassment in the crease. I think every team needs ONE guy like this and now we have it. I'm sure he'll be handy on the PK.

I'll also add he had great stats with EDM who plays a fairly loose system, so he may thrive with the Pens. Regardless, he's a solid defensive-style 3rd pairing RHD. I like this addition.

All we need is Marcel Goc 🤣

Between now and this summer, we'll see how good Dubas is. But if I'm one of those strong WB/S forwards, I have some extra motivation. There are some open spots on the roster.

He's traded guys like lars eller for a 3rd round pick and a 5th round pick, he traded reilly smith for a 2nd rounder and a 5th rounder, he took on kevin hayes for a 2nd rounder, he took on cody glass for a 3rd rounder and a 6th rounder, and he traded chad ruhwedel for a 4th rounder which in turn netted us philip tomasino which is a good trade. Kyle dubas also did an under the radar move in pick swapping with the blues to help them out and in turn netted us a third round pick in exchange for a 5th rounder which is great asset management. In a short amount of time he's built up alot of assets that are going to be used to stock the farm system with young, fresh talent that is going to help the rebuild moving forward. This isn't even including the two trades i'm going to talk about below that look to be phenomenal so far.

First off we got the jake guentzel trade which at the time was panned by people and kyle dubas was coming under fire and being attacked by pens fans before the prospects even had a chance to prove their worth. This trade looks like a heist and a huge one at that with kyle acquiring ville koivunen, vasily ponomarev, cruz lucius, michael bunting and a second round pick which turned into harrison brunicke. Now let's get into some of these prospects and their upsides from what we can tell so far.

Jake guentzel prospects down below:

Let's start with ville koivunen who has been absolutely sensational in the AHL this season and has been one of the best prospects overall in the entire AHL. In 38 games played he has 15 goals and 21 assists for 36 points which puts him at 17th in the entire AHL at points which as a 21 year old coming over from finland playing his first professional season over here is insane. He's been a beast at playmaking, a beast at shooting, and overall looks like he could be a 1st line winger at his peak.

Now let's get into vasily ponomarev who has also been insanely impressive this season and looks to be a big part of the penguins future. He's 22 years old and has played in 29 games this season and has 10 goals and 16 assists for 26 points as a center which is very impressive considering his age, and the fact it's his first full year in our farm system. His playmaking looks up to snuff and his shooting has been better than expected as well with bonus points to him improving his defense down on the farm which is only going to boost his stock and prospect status further. Very good prospect just like koivunen who figures to be a big contributor for us moving forward.

Now i'm going to lump the other 3 assets in because they don't need individual paragraphs tbh. Cruz lucius is a college kid with upside that's essentially a lottery ticket. He's been hurt this season so i can't say much about him other than dubas took a shot on a young guy and we have to wait and see on him. Harrison brunicke is a very solid defense prospect who was the most impressive defenseman in training camp for us and has all the tools necessary to be a legit top 4 guy in the nhl. He's fast, he's got a great stick that he uses on defense consistently, he's got very good passing skills for his age, and he's been impressive. And then we got michael bunting who has been solid for the pens and who is another trade asset that i see being dealt next season with the cap rising substantially. A very nice get considering that he can bring even more assets for us out of this trade which only further improves the value of the trade.

Marcus pettersson trade thoughts down below:

Now let's get into marcus pettersson and the drew trade which i'll keep short and brief promise lol. We traded two guys on expiring deals for the rangers first rounder which is a very valuable pick 'turns into an unprotected 2026 first rounder if the rangers pick is 13 or below this season'. We also got danton heinen, vincent desharnais, and melvin fernstrom out of the deal. Heinen and desharnais are two salary dumps by Vancouver who could be traded next season considering they'll both be on reasonable 1 year contracts with manageable caphits. Add in fernstrom who was the canucks third rounder in 2024 and you got yourself a very good trade with even more room to grow depending on what happens with heinen and desharnais.

Overall dubas has done very well so far and i'm impressed with the work he's done rebuilding the farm. I expect even more movement this season or in the offseason such as rust being moved, rakell being moved, karlsson, etc that can bring even more assets into the organization and help us on our quest to tank/rebuild. Good job kyle dubas.

Hi I was just wondering if anyone had any idea why today’s tickets are showing as sold out and Tuesday are showing as offline… it’s kind of frustrating me because the app is showing a bunch of seats open for today 😂
