Opinion | A Resurrection Faith Needs a Resurrection Church As anger and fear dominate the public square, a church that follows a resurrected savior should be a balm, not a blowtorch.

There is a different version of the Christian faith, one that is far removed from the political headlines.

This faith loves its enemies. It mends the broken heart. And it declares, by word and deed, that no one is too lost to experience the love of God. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/o...

This is one of the most shameful things I've seen in my life. Zelensky and the Ukrainian people are fighting for their lives, and MAGA is all up in its feelings because no one is allowed to disrespect Trump. He can be grotesque, but everyone else has to genuflect. Pathetic.

Opinion | This Never Happened With an American President Before Trump’s behavior in the Oval Office with Zelensky was an unparalleled break with American foreign policy.

Nailed it

The Hockey News - Breaking: Hall-Of-Fame Penguins Broadcaster Mike Lange Dies At 67

Pittsburgh and the entire hockey community have lost a legend whose voice shaped generations of Penguins hockey.

More on #LetsGoPens Hall-of-Fame broadcaster Mike Lange, who passed away at the age of 76 on Wednesday night:

One of my earliest hockey memories is Mike Lange's call on Darius Kasparaitis's Game 7 overtime goal in 2001. That game - and his voice - are what sparked my earliest interest in hockey.

Pittsburgh, and the world, lost a great one tonight. Rest easy, Mike Lange. You'll be sorely missed.

Opinion | Kash Patel Is a Warning Shot Senators, take heed.

There is no case for Kash Patel.

Every Republican senator who votes for Patel is abdicating his or her constitutional responsibility. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/o...

The Penguins have acquired the Rangers’ 2025 first-round pick (conditional), forward Danton Heinen, defenseman Vincent Desharnais, and 2024 third-round pick Melvin Fernstrom from the Canucks for defenseman Marcus Pettersson and forward Drew O’Connor.

FWIW, I’ll tell you when there’s going to be a “fire sale” in Pittsburgh.

Not some dude who doesn’t cover the club.

Also, buddy … it’s a hard cap NHL and Penguins have players with fill or limited NMCs and/or unsavory contracts.

Complete farce. Shouldn’t even have caused a stir.

In fairness the resulting fire and explosion might have set off the sprinklers.

Donald Trump believes it’s okay to assault police officers in an attempt to overthrow American democracy, as long as it’s done in his honor.

So much for the party of law and order.

Penguins GM Kyle Dubas Has A Plan - And He Knows What He's Doing For GM Kyle Dubas and the Pittsburgh Penguins, a new organizational direction is clear - if you've been paying attention

There's a lot of talk about the job #LetsGoPens GM Kyle Dubas has done in Pittsburgh and whether or not a plan is in place.

Not only is a plan in place, but Dubas is also giving this team a real shot in the near future.

Alex Nedeljkovic celebrates a goal with his teammates.

The first goalie in NHL history to score a goal and record an assist in a game.

Alex Nedeljkovic. 🐧

Watched the whole thing unfold. Bizarre. Entire end of arena booing and chanting ‘Give him the puck.’ Pens staff came down and handed the kid a puck to a raucous applause. Well handled @pittsburghpenguins.bsky.social

Conclusion of my Pittsburgh sports weekend. Switched to my Tanger jersey. Let’s Go Pens! @pittsburghpenguins.bsky.social

The Steelers have been stuck in football purgatory. Unable to bottom out, unable to make meaningful playoff inroads.

Pittsburgh must ponder significant changes at all levels, writes @mikedefabo.bsky.social, from the coaching staff to roster construction and more.

Wonderful day connecting with a dear friend for an @pittsburghpenguins.bsky.social game. Sorry outcome with 0-5 loss to the Sens but always love the atmosphere in the ‘burgh. Hoping for better against the Lightening tomorrow.

Sad to see the @pittsburghsteeler.bsky.social season end. Put up a better fight in the second half but the outcome wasn’t really in doubt.

Signed off all the others. Hoping to find an informative, sane experience @bsky.app
