I shouldn't read article comments. It's just not fun. In this installment, we aren't actually that good since Ottawa took us to 7 games.

Their game 6 win and game 1 win were juuuust about the least legitimate outcomes to any sporting event ever played.

But also...who (besides Washington) could possibly have been described as a better team last year? There really was no one even close. And this year, we're (I think) objectively better than Washington going into the year. So f*** yeah why not a 3 peat?

The comments on Crosby stories this offseason are just the worst. I had one jagoff commenting on my YouTube video about how good teams don't rely on their goaltender to win a Cup. Let that sink in for a moment.

Per MM, Edzo has been diagnosed with colon cancer. Best wishes in his treatment and recovery.
Heh. I was aiming for Pritchard, sorry.

There is no honest way to rationalize an opinion against this team. Other than "winners are boring".

This is a good reminder to get a colonoscopy. I had one about 30 years ago and it was such a gruesome ordeal that I put off ever getting another one. My doctor talked me into getting one this last spring. Now they basically knock you out and when you wake it's over. I had 2 polyps they removed that they told me would have been cancerous in a couple years. Better to get one done regularly than dying of cancer or be one of those guys that craps in a bag attached to your belt the rest of your life.

A dude with one pro game experience and a dash 2 in said game.
I figured he was gone from the organization; didn't know if he signed with WBS. I know teams were interested in him last year after college and he signed an ATO before the playoffs. He was at their Pens' prospect camp this year but either didn't sign or wasn't offered a 2 way. That doesn't bode well for him since they signed 4 joe bagadonut type ahlers to contracts plus re-signed Corrado. As far as Taylor if he can't play on the WBS top pairing in front of those guys he is more suspect than prospect.

http://www.wbspenguins.com/2017/07/19/3442/ The legendary Dylan Zink. I guess the AHL contract he signed last spring covers this season.

Interesting tidbit I learned about Spaceballs the other day: the guy combing the desert with a pick who yells "we ain't found sh*t!" is Tim Russ, who played Tuvok on Star Trek Voyager.

I've always (and correctly) viewed the 70s Star Wars movies as lampooning the genre.
I guess that's why I don't see a need for Spaceballs to exist; the Star Wars movies were already filling that...need.

In relation to Sid's now advanced age, it amazes me that Mario's first retirement came at the age of 32.

There being an "executive team" sort of implies that people work for the "website?"
