mikey's Thread of Penguin Randomness

Of course you don't. But if you argue he's the best at a position over 53 years I think that's a pretty big checkmark in his favor.

[mikey]

Yeah, that's not a good way to go at it in my opinion...from any angle...for me.

[willeyeam]

Yeah you're probably right. Still think he's had a good enough career

[mikey]

That's probably going to end up being right...unless he completely falls off in his mid-30s...which isn't a completely crazy thought in its own right...

[Lemon Berry Lobster]

Doubts of 71 getting his number retired is crazy talk.

[faftorial]

I read somewhere that the Pens/Mario want to retire 68 but they are afraid he might not show.

[mikey]

Tell him Jiri Hrdina will be there...

[Dickie Dunn]

He’d come for Jan and Kip Miller, but I don’t he gives a **** about Jiri Hrdina’s presence.

[mikey]

**** Jiri Hrdina

[willeyeam]

Well this was fun thanks for playing. Perhaps I'll think of something else to bicker over tomorrow while I pretend to work

Ulf's productivity has decreased since WFH?

[willeyeam]

You think I got things done from the office?

[Dickie Dunn]

87, 71, 68, and 29 get retired.

Sidenote: what a career for Jiri Hrdina. Dude makes his NHL debut in 88, 4 years after he was drafted, as a 30 year old rookie, plays 250 regular season games and 45 playoff games over 5 seasons, winning Cups in 89, 91, and 92. That’s **** efficiency.

This is why the Pens did that Ring of Honor thing. So that people that have no idea why numbers get retired stop asking of Player X will have his number retired.

[meow]

87 and 71 are locks. No to anyone else

dodint, your friend who hates Briere showed up

[Nuge]

Did the Ring of Honor make the trip across the street? I completely forgot about it since the Civic Arena came down.

I think the playoff series I'm least familiar with in my lifetime is the 1994 ECQF vs Washington. Why did we lose that series...?

kevin hatcher
no ****

[mikey]

Hmph, so Hatcher beat us in 1994 and 1997...? That's a shame...

Watched Game 2 of the 91 SCF last nite. Pens had to kill off 8 power plays in the game and honestly, they could have been called for double that. Both sides were chippy and Van Hellemond let a ton go. In today’s game, it would have been PPs for 2/3 of the nite.

This game reminded me how much Ulf Samuelsson was hated. He kneed Bellows in open ice with no call and the Stars took of after him and Recchi too for the rest of the game.

Stevens and Trots ruined Bellows for me. I can only think of one thing when I see his name now.

[Orlando Penguin]

And that one thing is....

Not sure if serious, but...
