Back To The Point: USA Vs. Canada Tomorrow
http://backtothepoint1.blogspot.com/2010/02/usa-vs-canada-tomorrow.html
Watch the latest videos on YouTube.com. Saturday, February 20, 2010. USA Vs. Canada Tomorrow. While I'm not shocked by the United States being 2-0 in this tournament so far, I am shocked that Switzerland nearly knocked off Canada. That game against the Swiss was probably the most exciting game I've seen since the Pens knocked off Detroit in Game 7 for the Stanley Cup. Jonas Hiller was the Greek god of goaltending and has permanent bragging rights over Ducks teammate Ryan Getzlaf. I've completely lost cou...

Back To The Point: Flyers Season Review
http://backtothepoint1.blogspot.com/2010/02/flyers-season-review.html
Watch the latest videos on YouTube.com. Tuesday, February 16, 2010. Well, well, it's been quite a while since I've had the pleasure of dissecting how the Flyers are throwing away a perfectly good season. Thankfully, they stormed into the break with two unexpected, and franky unbelievable come from behind wins against the Devils (remember in the 90's when the Devils were up by one goal in the third period and you just knew there was no point in watching the game anymore? I've been rambling for long enough...

Back To The Point: Crosby Leaves Me Uncomfortably Numb
http://backtothepoint1.blogspot.com/2010/03/crosby-leaves-me-uncomfortably-numb.html
Watch the latest videos on YouTube.com. Monday, March 1, 2010. Crosby Leaves Me Uncomfortably Numb. I sincerely hope that yesterday's gold medal game and really, the entire Olympic hockey tournament will bring a new wave of fans to the sport. For as great as last year's NHL playoffs were, I think this two week exhibition was some of the best hockey we have ever seen. Who knew Belarus had a hockey team that could actually put a scare into some of the world powers? Which brings me to why I have no emotions...

Back To The Point: April 2009
http://backtothepoint1.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Watch the latest videos on YouTube.com. Wednesday, April 1, 2009. Flyers coming in for a harsh landing. I'm upset. Very upset. The Flyers' recent form has been nothing short of embarassing. They aren't trying anymore. Sure, some players are putting forth performances, but the team seems to have given up. Why? Last year they played like hell down the stretch. This year, when they sort of have a playoff spot locked up, they wilt. Wonderful. Sure, the Devils are in a freefall. But who cares? We're currently...

Back To The Point: 2010 Olympic Predictions
http://backtothepoint1.blogspot.com/2010/02/2010-olympic-predictions.html
Watch the latest videos on YouTube.com. Monday, February 15, 2010. After a huge glitch during the opening ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, we're off to an exciting start. The women's hockey tournament is already underway and I propose we just let Finland and Sweden play for bronze and let USA and Canada battle it out for gold. Of course, there's no way the United States men make it to the gold medal game. What pressure is there playing for Team USA for that matter? Now, teams like Can...

Back To The Point: July 2008
http://backtothepoint1.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Watch the latest videos on YouTube.com. Thursday, July 3, 2008. 2 Days In And Feeling A Bit Frustrated. Well these past two days have been rather uneventful for Pens nation. Unless you count the mass exodus that is going on as eventful, but I don't exactly find myself looking for my party hat as much as I am looking for the missing hair on my head and wondering why a bottle of tequila is empty. As I write this we've lost: Marian Hossa, Ty Conklin, Adam Hall, Ryan Malone, Gary Roberts and Jarkko Ruutu.
