Before I get fully underway, I first want to apologize upfront for the title being slightly misleading. I want it to be clear, from this moment forward, that I am a big supporter of the "do whatever you have to in order to land Parise" line of thinking. Keep that in mind as I walk... Continue Reading →
The Penguins Are A Bad Team
Here's usually where the wheels come off and people start spewing things like "BAD FAN!" at me. I'm just going to say it. The Pittsburgh Penguins are a bad team. I discussed, at length, the problem the team is facing with injuries right now. I had posed the question to Twitter (from my personal account)... Continue Reading →
The Penguins Problem: Injuries
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 →
The Eastern Conference…According to Griggsy

Pens Preview: James Neal
If ever there was a deadline pick-up that caused more elation, then frustration, then more elation, then abject hatred, then more (un)conditional love followed by even more anger and hostility than James "The Real Deal" Neal, I do not remember who this individual was or why we were so excited and then hate-filled. I know... Continue Reading →
7/23: Griggsy’s Gripes
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,...
