His Dad seems like a jag, though.

His dad's getting no help with his electronics the next time he can't switch TV inputs.

TIL 3 things is a comprehensive list

Posted: **Tue Jan 14, 2020 2:12 pm**

All right, take it easy, slugger. Don't make me post the screenshot haha

Posted: **Tue Jan 14, 2020 2:43 pm**

I really don't have the patience or energy to deal with this right now.

And that's not meant to be party pooping. I really just don't feel like dealing with this right now so let's just get ready to watch Sid come back, eh?

Deal with what...?

Posted: **Tue Jan 14, 2020 3:24 pm**

*gestures broadly*

This ****. Cool I get it I made a mistake while burnt out at work and misread a post.

I really don't have the energy to keep going back and forth on this. I don't know why I even responded in the first place. But can we just drop it?

Posted: **Tue Jan 14, 2020 3:35 pm**

Drop what?

Posted: **Tue Jan 14, 2020 3:38 pm**

Bud, relax. This is what we do, we rag on each other for little dumb stuff...meow doesn't get a complex or all exasperated because we always say goalies are weird or that dodint complains a lot or that I, Jesus, however long that list is of things I do...

It's just a goof...crush up a xany or two and insufflate...life's ok, man.

Even bigger than the Pens being first on that list is that Ottawa is 3rd.

I'll assume that's all pizza line greasy residue...but yeah, that's a good catch and something I didn't even notice...

Posted: **Tue Jan 14, 2020 5:36 pm**

Whoa baby

Posted: **Tue Jan 14, 2020 5:47 pm**

had to look up the origin of the pizza line and saw this in the wiki page for "famous" line nicknames

"The E=mc^2 Line"—New York Islanders (2013–16), (2018–present)—Matt Martin, Casey Cizikas and Cal Clutterbuck; a play on the initials of the players' surnames. Coined by Islanders broadcaster Butch Goring as a reference to the Mass–energy equivalence equation, and the "energy" they brought to games as a result of their physical play.

..really?

Posted: **Tue Jan 14, 2020 5:49 pm**

100,000% surprised that Steigy never used that as a line nickname.

Posted: **Tue Jan 14, 2020 5:55 pm**

Butch Goring is on work release from the puzzle factory to work Isles games...

That would require him to know that information

Posted: **Tue Jan 14, 2020 6:18 pm**

I attended some games at the arena when Goring was on the Isles. They regularly kicked the Pens asses.

Posted: **Tue Jan 14, 2020 6:24 pm**

Goring was no Geno:

Goring retired having played 1107 games, with 375 goals and 513 assists for 888 points. He recorded only 102 penalty minutes, the lowest total in NHL history for a player appearing in more than a thousand games.[citation needed] He was a very effective penalty-killer throughout his career as he finished in the top ten for short-handed goals nine seasons in his career amassing a career total of 40 short-handed goals, the fifth most of all-time.

True for skaters. Not true overall.

I feel as though that is low for Luongo. He seems a little more fiery than average.
