19 years ago? Wow

I guess this stuff doesn’t seem that long ago because Sid and geno are still on the team. Crazy that this is Crosbys 20th season

To me it feels like a lifetime ago because this was before we had won any cups with this core

Yeah. To me it feels more recent until I realize that I was still in undergrad when it happened. Hadn’t met my wife, hadn’t moved to to LA (and back), hadn’t settled in Pittsburgh, etc.

I'm not welching on this or any bet (minus eating a hanger...I have Crohn's haha), if you give me the details, you got it.

True to his word

Pretty lousy night in terms of other eastern teams.

I like how the watermark makes it look like a recent photo

What the ****, man...

Stuff was stolen over the weekend, while playing Ottawa. Back door was forced open and they got access to a safe that was open.

Seems to be a common occurrence now. Athletes are going to have to hire home security while they’re traveling.

This has been an issue for soccer players in Europe for a long time. Guess its finally made its way to America.

That's a bummer.

The open safe reminds me of the Seinfeld line about the deadbolt only having one glaring defect...

[mikey]

That's exactly where my mind went too, but I was too darn cross to look up the gif...

Seems to be a common occurrence now. Athletes are going to have to hire home security while they’re traveling.

or you know, have their security systems actually working and not leave the safe open.....

KDKA also reported that Malkin’s home security system was down during the robbery and that his safe was left open.

One might surmise this wasn't just run-of-the-mill burglers/burglery.

I think something might happen. Re: Jarry.

[MR25]

We thinking waivers? Health bombed and call up Blomqvist? Trade?

[mikey]

Someone texted me a little while ago that if they can't make a swap, they might put him on waivers at 2 today.

[mikey]

...and a second text saying he's going on waivers today.

[Gaucho]

yikes

2 games in a row the team has given up under 20 shots, and 2 games in a row they've lost.

Jarry is bad. I think he's had, what - 3 starts this year where he hasn't given up a goal within the first 5 shots he's faced?

It feels like a lot of the goals he gives up completely deflate the team, and while I'm not excusing the team's inability to bounce back most of the time, something is off. I don't know if he's a dick in the locker room, if the players are just tired of him giving up backbreaker after backbreaker, or what... something isn't sitting right with the response, and I can't put my finger on it.

It's a real shame he was the only solid option when they signed him to his extension. It's also a shame he got his bag and decided to start sucking wind.

I was just speculating with no real info other than vibes last night, but I didn't realize things were *that* bad.

[MR25]

I can't believe they didn't even wait til 2 lol

[mikey]

Why would a team announce that even haha
