Tuesday, February 25, 2014. Jean Pronovost is an All-Time Great for the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Real DFG's Penguin Auto Project: Double Shot: Ryan Whitney & Sergei Gonchar
http://therealdfgautoproject.blogspot.com/2014/04/double-shot-ryan-whitney-sergei-gonchar.html
Tuesday, April 22, 2014. Double Shot: Ryan Whitney and Sergei Gonchar. I'm not 100% sure on this one but I think this may be my first Double Shot card featuring two autographs of Penguin players. This card comes from the 2008-09 Be A Player Double Signatures set. It features two former Penguin D-men, Sergei Gonchar and Ryan Whitney. Sergei Gonchar has a little better story. I will be surprised if he isn't eventually elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame because of the dominant career he had. He scored 50 go...

The Real DFG's Penguin Auto Project: Erik Christensen
http://therealdfgautoproject.blogspot.com/2014/04/erik-christensen.html
Tuesday, April 8, 2014. This is the tale of another in a long line of talented prospects that the Pens just couldn't fit into their mix because of deep roster talent in the late 2000s. Erik was drafted in the 3rd round in 2002 by the Pens. He was a dynamo on the ice in the WHL, putting up 108 points for Kamloops in 67 games in 2002-03. At the trade deadline in 2008, Erik, along with Colby Armstrong, Angelo Esposito, and a 1st round pick became Cup contender casualties and were sent packing to Atlanta in ...

The Real DFG's Penguin Auto Project: Simon Despres, Joe Vitale
http://therealdfgautoproject.blogspot.com/2015/04/simon-despres-joe-vitale.html
Tuesday, April 14, 2015. Simon Despres, Joe Vitale. Despite the fact that I have had this one lying around for quite sometime, somehow it never made its way to a post. Until now. And how fitting considering neither player wears the Pittsburgh sweater any longer. I'm talking, of course, about Simon Despres and Joe Vitale. I've posted about Vitale before so I will focus this one on Mr. Despres since at one time, Simon was supposed to be the next big thing on D in Pittsburgh. Check out my Original Blogs.

The Real DFG's Penguin Auto Project: Sidney Crosby...sort of.
http://therealdfgautoproject.blogspot.com/2014/03/sidney-crosbysort-of.html
Tuesday, March 11, 2014. Sidney Crosby.sort of. I suppose I can preface this one by saying that I have yet to procure myself an actual Sidney Crosby autograph. With that being said, this is the next closest thing. Back in 2005-06, Upper Deck came out with the resurrected Parkhurst brand. Included in the set was a series of Season Highlight cards focusing on then rookie star Sidney Crosby. The base set was also accompanied by a parallel set #'d out of 100 featuring facsimile autographs.

The Real DFG's Penguin Auto Project: Joe Dziedzic
http://therealdfgautoproject.blogspot.com/2013/11/joe-dziedzic.html
Wednesday, November 13, 2013. Oh, what could have been. Joe Dziedzic was a highly touted prospect for the Pens organization. The guy was drafted 61st overall with the Pens third pick in 1990 while still playing for his high school team in Minneapolis. After winning Minnesota's Mr. Hockey designation as a senior, Joe went on to play for the University of Minnesota for four years, putting up solid numbers for a large winger. If you believe the internet, he runs a hockey camp for kids in Minneapolis.

The Real DFG's Penguin Auto Project: Jordan Staal
http://therealdfgautoproject.blogspot.com/2014/04/jordan-staal.html
Tuesday, April 1, 2014. This just in, Jordan Staal has been traded back to Pittsburgh, along with his brother, for a bag of rusty nails and some small pox infested blankets. Not that you believed me anyway. This is my second Jordan Staal auto to be featured on the Project Page. ObviouslyMr. Staal has left Pittsburgh for "redder" pastures because there was one time when I thought he would be a Penguin forever. That seems to be the death knell for players that I decide to collect. The Real DFG's Card Garage.

The Real DFG's Penguin Auto Project: Jon Filewich
http://therealdfgautoproject.blogspot.com/2015/02/jon-filewich.html
Saturday, February 7, 2015. After only five games, he was sent back down to WBS and was eventually traded the following season to the St. Louis Blues. He never got a shot with the Blues main club and was instead relegated to the Peoria Rivermen. After failing to come to a contract agreement, he headed to Europe, joining the EC Red Bull Salzburg. After only two seasons in Europe, he retired after the 2010-11 season. Comment if you want. Its your choice. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Real DFG's Penguin Auto Project: Ryan Whitney
http://therealdfgautoproject.blogspot.com/2015/01/ryan-whitney.html
Saturday, January 31, 2015. Whitney moved on to play for the Ducks, Oilers, and most recently the Florida Panthers. That didn't last long, however, as Ryan signed with the HC Sochi team in KHL after failing land a renewed NHL contract after the 2013-14 season. I believe he is still on the roster in Sochi.

The Real DFG's Penguin Auto Project: Joe Vitale
http://therealdfgautoproject.blogspot.com/2014/02/joe-vitale.html
Tuesday, February 18, 2014. At the time of typing this post, Vitale was on the shelf with an injury. The Pens secondary scoring guys have been getting banged up as of late and it will be interesting to see if Shero goes after some talent before the trade deadline. DJ Joe has been a versatile player for the Pens, moving from center to right wing. Vitale has 165 cards out there to date with most of them being serial numbered. 56 of them are also autographed.
