Hey did you guys know that every time Tanger has a major medical event and his point average drops, Sid’s also takes a hit? And Geno apparently ups his game to compensate?
Did you guys know that when Sid and Geno aren’t scoring, Tanger ups his offensive production?
Did you guys know that in 2022 when Tanger and Geno almost didn’t get re-signed that everybody’s point average dropped?
The 2026 Pittsburgh Penguins Draft Picks at a glance.
Hey did you guys know that in the last 44 seconds of the Fleury Game when we had Marc-Andre Fleury in net, Kris Letang and Erik Karlsson on defense, and a line made up of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Bryan Rust, the total experience and accolades on the ice tallied up to:
7,319 all-time games
1,907 all-time goals
3,790 all-time assists
5,697 all-time points
666 all-time wins
92 all-time shutouts
107 seasons of experience
74 playoff appearances
14 Stanley Cups
4 Art Ross Trophies
4 Ted Lindsay Awards
3 Conn Smythe Trophies
3 Hart Memorial Trophies
3 James Norris Memorial Trophies
2 Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophies
1 Calder Memorial Trophy
1 Mark Messier NHL Leadership Award
1 Vezina Trophy
1 William M. Jennings Trophy
1 Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy
And that may well be the most decorated 44 seconds to ever take NHL ice in a preseason game.

I don’t have any earthly idea what Detroit did to this man tbh
Matt Dumba 0-1-0 (Career 6-8-4)
Boone Jenner (CBJ) Oct. 25, 2025
This was the first fight of the regular season but other than that it was pretty unmemorable.
Avery Hayes 0-1-1 (Career 0-1-1)
Cole Reinhardt (VGK) Mar. 1, 2026
Jamie Drysdale (PHI) Mar. 7, 2026
Aysie gets what it means to be a Pittsburgh Penguin.

Was this a fight Lizzo wanted? No, but he made it Michkov’s problem.
Anthony Mantha 0-0-1 (Career 9-5-4)
Brenden Dillon (NJD) Nov. 8, 2025
I don’t think Mo has ever wanted to be a scrapper, honestly. He seems to just accept that it comes with the territory of being a giant.
Sam Poulin 0-1-0 (Career 0-1-0)
Jared Davidson (MTL) Sep. 22, 2025
This was the first fight of the preseason and it was even less memorable than Dumba v. Jenner.
Elmer Soderblom 1-0-0 (Career 1-0-0)
Scott Mayfield (NYI) Mar. 30, 2026
Soda has just learned that scrapping comes with the territory of being giant. Unlike Mo, he appears to be rather excited about this fact.
Parker Wotherspoon 1-0-0 (Career 3-2-0)
Matthew Tkachuk (FLA) Apr. 5, 2026
Spoons really just did what we were all thinking here.

I'll probably add more links as the season progresses as well.

Big Three Stat Analysis
2025-26 Penguins Defensemen Per Game Averages by Season (Points, PIMs, Hits, Blocks)
Some observations:
Spoons appears to be on some type of quest this season. Good for him.
Karl was apparently magnetized in 2016.
Kuly seems to have spent 2018 picking battles and then decided hitting people is not for him.
Tanger’s 2022 sucked and he made every other team pay for it.
Sheazo looks to have selected the Way of the Block.
Ives is well on his way to becoming the Token Hits Guy.
Gravy is, and always has been, a Blocks Guy. Not an offensive defenseman. I am speaking to you, Mike Sullivan.
Cliffy, despite having averaged more hits than anyone has averaged anything else for his entire career, has apparently decided that’s not enough hits and elected to up his production.
