Happy #OpeningDay! Henry Davis is embarking on his fourth MLB season and second OD roster spot. It feels like a make-or-break season for the former first overall pick, so it begs the question: what is "success" for Davis and the bat this year? #LetsGoBucs fifthavenuesports.com/2026/03/26/wha…

I got a chance to talk to some fans at the draft after the Steelers selected OT Max Iheanachor. Even if some understood the decision, the weren’t thrilled about the pick. You can read more here, for @pittnewssports pittnews.com/article/202028…

Finals are beating me up pretty bad so I won't have a game story from Game 3 tonight, but I think you can get an idea of what I would have said

It's rare you see a market (both fans and media) sour on a player like they have with Sam Girard. I wonder if that feeling has risen all the way up to the front office

I've never seen Bryan Rust that angry and violent before

The Penguins got the script flipped on them at home, two games in a row. Now, facing a possible elimination in Philadelphia, it's time to break out the disaster plans. fifthavenuesports.com/2026/04/21/pen…

The Penguins look dead, man. Just completely, completely dead.

It doesn’t matter who you root for (unless it's Boston), you have to be happy for the fans in Buffalo. You could feel how desperate that crowd was through the tv. It's nice to see them get rewarded

@BruceMountjoy Brutal, just brutal game to be at. One of I think only four reverse sweeps in NHL history, if memory serves. I can't even imagine the vibes after the clock hit zeroes in that one

@ForbesFieldAlex The Islanders have been Penguin killers for years. I was at Game 7 in 1975 with my dad when the Islanders came back from a 3-0 deficit to beat the Pens 4 games to 3. I was scarred for life. We lost game 7 1-0 on a goal by Ed Westfall. Just the first of many Islander beatings.

@kelsey_surmacz4 I know they won’t and can’t change jerseys since they're set before the playoffs, but I am curious what would happen if the Penguins went rogue and tried it anyways. Does the organization get fined or something like that?

FYI, the Penguins cannot swap out their home jerseys. They're rolling with the gold. Imo, this is being blown out of proportion a bit. The team chose them, and that's that.

@BruceMountjoy I just keep getting flashbacks to the 2021 series against the Islanders. Once was enough for me. I like the gold jerseys but exclusively as the alternates, not for the majority and not for the playoffs

I know they scored late to make it interesting, but I think it was an overall pitiful performance by the Penguins. You have to, have to, have to have more than 17 shots in a playoff game.

I've never seen the general manager of a team make a wager with another city's mayor before, but Dubas ain't messing around this year

Puck around and find out 😤🏒 It’s @penguins vs. @NHLFlyers in the first round of the NHL Playoffs—winner takes major bragging rights in the Commonwealth. Wager’s on with @PhillyMayor—when the Pens win, Philly goes Black and Gold. We like our chances. Let’s go Pens 🐧🖤💛🤝
