Welcome to Griggsy’s Gripes 2: Electric Boogaloo. It’s the only chance I’ll get to say it, so I couldn’t pass that up. Apparently, quite a few people decided my first attempt at this was worth reading. I thank you all for that, very much. Hopefully, there will be no sophomore slump. Anyways, without further ado,...

Now For Something Completely Different
I just wanted to take a few moments tonight to say a few personal thoughts. Avoid the Clap has been operating now for two weeks. It has been a truly wonderful experience.

Not just my favorite Penguins player, but my overall favorite player in the entire NHL. I feel the need to address this notion of being a complete and total fanboy for no. 4,... Continue Reading →
Housekeeping and “Expansion”
Folks, I appreciate all the feedback I got on the Matt Cooke piece. It truly was a pleasure being able to work on that and I hope my future articles are even half as interesting and 1/10 as in-depth. I added a few new sections to the main navigation bar at the top of... Continue Reading →

I want to take some time to look at the major players for the Penguins as we get into the thick of the off-season in anticipation of the coming new year. I plan on taking a somewhat in-depth...
