Pittsburgh Penguins. NHL trade, J.T. Miller, Vancouver Canucks

How did NHL teams get their names? Our Owen Krepps found a tie and decided to show off the new Las Vegas digs as he explained the St. Louis Blues, Pittsburgh Penguins, Vancouver Canucks, and more. Those Canucks reversed course and surprised everyone by splashing the cash on Pittsburgh native J.T. Miller for the next seven years. The Montreal Canadiens and New York Rangers are again linked in the NHL trade rumors, and a day after a top KHL coach railed on the country to keep its stars, why do many Russian players prefer the NHL?

I’m still not sure what to make of the NHL trade talk involving Patrick Kane. Idle speculation, “idol” speculation, or legit? Perhaps all of the above. I would love to see the Buffalo Sabres make a solid run at him and for Buffalo to crawl out of the dank sports basement they’ve shared with the likes of the Pittsburgh Pirates and Jacksonville Jaguars. Though getting Kane and getting out of the basement aren’t necessarily linked, it sure would give a passionate yet downtrodden fanbase a boost.

Then again, remember Chris Archer?

Pittsburgh Hockey Now: Why do Russian players like the Penguins’ Evgeni Malkin prefer the NHL over the ruble-rich paychecks in Russia? Russian NHL players.

Steelers Now: Steelers trade acquisition Malik Reed immediately took a pay cut? Yep. Full story — Pittsburgh Steelers.

Nick Farabaugh digested it all. The Kenny Pickett work. The situation. And Farabaugh opines that after the preseason body of work, the Steelers should trust Mitch Trubisky.

Seriously, the Steelers punter has a whip. Check out Percy Harvin III’s Hemi ride.
