<p>#Pittsburgh's Kris Latang has sustained another injury. The only description of the injury is that it is an upper body injury and he will be out for a bit. Translation: he could be out for several games depending on how well the assessment goes.</p>
<div class="indented">Reply - JulienSwift - 12/11/15 6:44pm<br><p>Latang is still a great player and if he can get healthy and stay healthy he is still an asset to the Pens</p>
<p>The #Pittsburgh Penguins will be wearing a #9 decal on their jerseys in honor of Pascal DuPuis. A nice touch to make the forced retirement a little easier to swallow.</p>

<p>The #Pittsburgh Penguins' Pascal DuPuis has finally announced that he is retiring from the NHL. After the scare with the blood clots, he needs to retire and focus on life after #Hockey with his wife and children. I am sure that the Pens will find a position within the organization for him.</p>

<p>I wonder if the Crosby era in #Pittsburgh is ending. He does not seem happy there anymore and the focus of the organization seems to be shifting from the long-term captain to Malkin. With the rumors that Crosby is at odds with Lemieux, Johnston, Rutherford and his teammates I will be fully focused on the drama unfolding.</p>
<div class="indented">Reply - JulienSwift - 12/1/15 11:40am<br><p>the Penguins are on a fast track to a complete melt down.</p>
<p>Here is the quote about the Pens that Tortorella gave to the press:</p>
<p>“You know what? It is, what it is. We’re not going to whine here. #Pittsburgh can whine. #Pittsburgh whines enough for the whole league, so there’s no room for any other team to whine. We’ll just go about our business. We missed him. But you can’t get involved in what happened in those types of situations.”</p>
