What in the name of sweet baby Jesus is wrong with the Penguins? I'm not saying it to be a troll or being ironically detached from things. I'm saying it because I legitimately don't know what is wrong with this team, nor do I know if there is any way to "fix" what ails them.... Continue Reading →
New Year, New World
I won't bore you with the traditional year-end wrap up like most other blogs/magazines/programs will. Not because I want to be edgy or different, but because I don't feel I'll have much else to add outside of what the others all listed. Instead, I will take a few minutes just to talk to all of...

Home for the Holidays
Folks, Ol' Uncle Walt wanted to check in with everyone and wish a Merry Christmas or happy-whatever-you-celebrate (twice as happy if you just celebrate drinking a lot of whiskey). Pittsburgh...I was gone just long enough to feel nostalgic and I've been back just long enough to want to get back to NC. Go... Continue Reading →
All Things In Time
Wow. That month went by fast. Since the last update, and that was late October, business has picked up around these parts. The good news: I have really settled into my job and there's much less insanity surrounding the day-to-day life. I'm still perpetually behind the 8-ball, but that happens. Contrary to popular belief, teaching... Continue Reading →
Griggsy? Griggsy!
Folks, Walt here. Just wanted to drop a quick update on Griggsy. After a bit of slamming my head into a wall I finally got things figured out and got Griggsy on the roll. He will be doing his own posts from here on out. If you want to keep in touch with him outside... Continue Reading →
The Eastern Conference…According to Griggsy
Griggsy is back with a vengeance and laying the law down once more with his Eastern Conference, as well as Stanley Cup, preview. I don't think I can say anything more than what I said before. The man is a beast. A complete and total beast. -- On today’s slate, I’ll tell you how the... Continue Reading →
The Western Conference…According to Griggsy
Folks, Griggsy is a beast. Just let his analysis speak for itself. Holy crap. This is also the first time I've used the "more/jump/split" feature. So...make sure to keep reading after the jump. Holy crap. --- With the greatest sport in the world less than a week from puck drop, the Gripes takes a... Continue Reading →
Pens Preview: Sidney Crosby
It's been a while since one of these got churned out. What can I say? Life happened and these take time. It doesn't excuse it, but it does provide at least a little perspective. Given the layoff and the change in life style and progress that's been made, I thought it only fitting to take... Continue Reading →
9/17: Griggsy’s Gripes
Griggsy is back on his game and not a day too soon. It only seems fitting that I finally start getting my feet under me and Chris gets his next round of Gripes up the same day that the Penguins opened up training camp. I am trying to get all of the papers graded tonight... Continue Reading →
Back For The First Time
Folks, I have arrived in my new town and have mostly unpacked. I am still alive. I am doing well and, frankly, couldn't be happier. I am still doing some amount of unpacking and needing to pick up various supplies that I forgot to bring or buy in my recent trips to the local shopping...areas.... Continue Reading →
