A Penguins’ void: ‘The Voice’ is muted
From the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review’s Ron Paglia, on the Pens’ longtime public address announcer John Barbaro: Anyone who knows John Barbero well will tell you he’s seldom at a loss for words.  An articulate and personable man, Barbero owns a distinctive voice that has endeared him to thousands of people in his role as the public address announcer for the Pittsburgh Penguins. He has manned the mike for the past 36 seasons.  “It’s nice to know that people appreciate your work,” Barbero, a lifelong resident of Roscoe, said. “I’ve always taken my job seriously and taken pride in it.

Sharks down Penguins 5-0:  Letang suffers injury
“Sometimes when you win, you really lose. And sometimes when you lose, you really win. And sometimes when you win or lose, you actually tie and sometimes when you tie, you actually win or lose.

Secondary scoring boosts Penguins over Ducks, 4-3
For one game at least, this won’t be the typical California trip for the Penguins that we’ve become accustomed to. The Penguins got timely goals from Alex Goligoski and Pascal Dupuis (with a Saku Koivu sandwiched in between) in a 78 second span midway through the third period to vault the Pens to a 4-3 win over the Ducks at the Hond
