Pascal Dupuis Rumors & News

Sometimes, you just get the feeling it's not going to go the way you want it to. For me it happened when Pascal Dupuis rang a shot clean off the far post in the first overtime. Even when the Penguins beat Craig Anderson, they couldn't score. And very rarely were they able to beat him in the first place. Game three between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Ottawa Senators featured an entertaining, heavy-hitting, low-scoring affair that saw some great goaltending from Anderson and Tomas Vokoun, as well as a let down by the Pens. In the last minute of the game, with Pittsburgh up 1-0, the Sen...

Playoff StuffPenguins - Senators -Welcome back Chris Kunitz ... to a line with Sidney Crosby and Pascal Dupuis. -Wy can't the Penguins ever seem to take a 2-0 series lead? -“When I first saw him play a few times in San Jose, I would not have guessed he was from Sweden. It’s just his size (6-3, 245 pounds) and his physical mentality and his toughness. He plays with an edge and that’s what he needs to do. He deters guys from coming to the front of the net and from going in the corners.” - Deryk Engelland on Douglas Murray. -"(I want) to go out there and match up against those guys and make sure...

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...
