Danger zone: Digging into Dan Bylsma's coaching strategies

PensBurgh — You could hear the rumbles from Penguins fans and media yesterday after they saw the lines in practice. Chris Kunitz, as habit has been, was bumped from the Evgeni Malkin / James Neal pair back up to his other “usual” line with Sidney Crosby and Pascal Dupuis. Jarome Iginla dropped down to the Malkin/Neal line, with Neal playing slightly away from his comfort zone on the left wing. Many vocal Pens fans had long clamored to unite Crosby+Iginla (keeping Iggy on his familiar right side) and keeping the successful Kunitz+Malkin+Neal line together. It offers a reasonable and balanced scori...

Better to be Lucky. Penguins Escape with 5-4 OT win

PensBurgh — After erasing a two-goal deficit and surrendering a two-goal lead, the Penguins lucked their way into a win on Long Island, taking a 2-1 series lead on Chris Kunitz's overtime winner Sunday. Pittsburgh's power play finished 3-for-5, and goals by Kunitz, Pascal Dupuis, Douglas Murray and Jarome Iginla were enough to make an otherwise sorry effort stand up. The Islanders outshot the Penguins, 36-25. Game 3 took on many of the themes in Game 2, when the Islanders outworked the Penguins in all facets of the game but special teams.

In fact, Sunday's game outlined the missed opportunity of Ga...
