Pens Regular Season discussion

Uh, so Pouliot was cited for public drunkenness today.

At least he was taking a cab.

Honeymoon Cost vs. Engagement Ring Cost

Didn't want to start a new post on this so figured this thread was as good as any (even though it doesn't involve cost). For those married or getting married, what did you do for the ring? And by this I mean, did she have input on what ring, input on the design, picked it out, picked out several to...

House Buying Thread

Another drawback to piggyback loans is that it might be difficult to refinance in the future. On top of that, I'm fairly certain that the second loan is usually a variable rate (similar to my wife's condo before we met); I don't think that's ever a good thing. When we bought our house, we went with ...

That's too bad about McDavid. TSN's going to have to find somebody else to write about in every one of their articles now.
This is kind of funny coming from a Pens fan considering there was a time every TSN article was about Sid.
Oh, the same can be said for Crosby, too. That's nothing new.

I wish YouTube was around when I started, because it certainly would have helped speed up things (I was taking weekly guitar lessons at a local store at the time).

If I were just learning how to play guitar nowadays, I think I'd prefer watching the thousands of "guitar lesson" videos on YouTube over something like that - especially given how pricey those seem to be. That's just me, though.

Official fire johnston thread - join the crew

I agree - I simply don't see any reasonable explanation for why Sprong should remain with the Pens, and do hope that he's sent back. As for previously mentioned comments about Crosby and the whiteboard: this is much ado about nothing. Go to a game and pay attention to the bench and you'll see this h...

More than a week until I can realistically watch a game. I hate the annual west coast trip for this very reason.

Why would you take Kessel off of the power play? I know that CBC announcers are the Canadian version of "yinzers", but that line of thought simply shows that they are also idiots. I found myself calling the CBC guys idiots throughout the entire broadcast, and the Kessel/PP comment wasn't even the d...

He's only second to Sundin in scoring for Toronto and accounted for over 20% of the Leafs' goals during his tenure... no big deal.

OFFICIAL GDT Halloween Edition PIT @ TOR 10/31/15 7pm

Last night was a perfect example of why I absolutely hated Eric Fehr while he was in Washington. He's just an outstanding two way player, and money on the PK. Of all the personnel changes between the two teams, I'd still take Fehr over losing Niskanen, Orpik and Chorney.

I can't recall who wrote the article, but there was a recent quote from Johnston saying quite the opposite. He basically said that he uses those mistakes as learning experiences in coaching him (shocker!).

Meow's Morning Meeting - 10-29-15 vs. BUF

I actually thought the same when I saw Kunitz back out there after the PK. I get that they want somebody who does attempt to use their body in the corners to compliment 87 and 9, but I was looking for Sprong to be out there at that time, too. Spring didn't see the ice at all in the final 13 minutes ...
