mikey's Thread of Penguin Randomness

Nice of him to score one to offset the like 100 he's given up this season.

Not to rain on the Pearson parade but Sid is being evaluated for an upper body injury.

[Gaucho]

That is wonderful, LBL.

You ever shoot for one...?

I had one really good chance in the U. It was on track in the air, but some knobber knocked it down with a high stick around the red line. Unless something went wonky when it landed, it was on track to hit the cage. I used to be able to shoot it in the air from my own goal line to the opposing tops of the circles

[mikey]

Haha damn...you know the exact thing happened at a game I was watching once in the Always Hungry League...

Ol' Hershey Bear Frederic Cassivi launched one towards an empty net, and this thing is going right in...and f***** jerkwad Jonathan Matsumoto knocks it down at the red line with a high stick...I have still never forgave him for that.

Would you be a LHS if you played out? Or do you turn your hand over and lever out? That's some serious distance regardless...

Regular goalie. Shoot “left” handed when skating out.

I held my stick like Turco - turning my catching glove over and having both palms facing down. Used a stick with a big old meat hook curve. I want to say I stole Kari Lehtonen’s pattern.

You just had to ruin the mood, didn’t you wanker?

Reading comments on the trade has been fun. Lots of “trade Maatta” replies.

[Pavel Bure]

I’m a bit loathe to trade Maatta. He’s only 24 for god sakes and has shown the ability to be very reliable. That he fights with consistency is upsetting but it’s hard for me to want to dump a guy of that age that has shown he can play at a high level.

Pens will wear the new 3rd jerseys tonight.

[dodint]

I've already forgotten what they look like. Just that they have 1970s NFL shoulder pad numbers.

Remember the Stadium Series game at Heinz? They're like that but lacking the cool patches and unique stencil lettering.

[Lemon Berry Lobster]

Also missing the triangle. Which makes them look stupid. They also look like a vest.

[dodint]

Well. That certainly didn't sweeten the deal.

[mikey]

As always, trading Maatta is something dumb doo doo heads say...

[Lemon Berry Lobster]

No, they suck. But hey, yellow helmets n'at!

[NTP66]

I didn't like the promo photos of the new 3rds, but maybe seeing them during the game will change my mind.

I didn't like the promo photos of the new 3rds signing of Johnson, but maybe seeing them him during the game will change my mind.

Trash is trash.

[Gaucho]

Crosby skates.

[E-Ramone]

Crosby skates.

Has there been any word on how long Sid is expected to be out? I think I saw he has an upper body injury, but that's all I've seen.

[mikey]

He'll be back in less than a week...

[nocera]

So no Sid tonight then?

[Gaucho]

Nope.

[NTP66]

Well, that makes my decision easy for tonight. Tune in for a few minutes to see the jerseys, then tune out.
