OFFICIAL GDT: PENS VS BLUE JACKETS 4/4/15

The one you're following up on right there...just not a productive area of discussion, your mind is made up on the team, so that's it...no point in going further with it, right?

There haven't been enough emotes for it to be CG...murph is a possibility but normally murph says something incredibly dumb every three posts or so...and I haven't noticed anything quite like that from this guy... We'll know if it's murph the next time Fleury gives up a goal...or even if a puck hits...

OFFICIAL GDT: PENS VS BLUE JACKETS 4/4/15

I don't know how to evaluate that period. We scored one, but.... I dunno. Wasn't bad. I think it was a real good period. Pretty tidy defensively against a team that can be tough to defend if you're a little on the softer side, which we are on the back end without Letang certainly...boxing out well,...

Johnston has to be senile or completely unaware of what's going on on the ice to argue that call. I agree with his arguing. *Shrug* Replay clearly showed 6 guys. I mean, you can have six guys on the ice...it's a matter of who is "in the play" and who is "going off" - there's context to almost every...

Yeah forecheck pressure is key in a game like this for two reasons...a) you don't want to deal with the cycle the other way, you'd almost rather challenge the Jackets on an even-man rush...b) they are pretty incapable at handling the puck with deftness or mobility on the back line...force mistakes a...

Silly question, but, why are people so grossed out by rats but not squirrels...? Squirrels are welcomed but rats are just considered vile, grotesque creatures...I can understand liking one over the other, but why are they on such opposite ends of the spectrum...?

I'm not at all good in the kitchen, and have a pretty limited palate due to dietary restrictions...so I'm trying to get a little bit crafty...tonight I fried up some hot sausage and put it on toasted pumpernickel bread with an avocado spread (lemon juice, salt, pepper) and topped with some paprika (...

i always thought geno should be the QB on the PP, he is a dual threat to shoot to shoot or pass. Crosby is way to often pass first That's fair, but Crosby is also the best deflector and close-in/quick-rebound finisher maybe in the whole NHL...so him hanging out near the net and distributing also pr...
