I wish YouTube was around when I started, because it certainly would have helped speed up things (I was taking weekly guitar lessons at a local store at the time). I like the GuitarForce.com content on YouTube the most. That guy does a lot of stuff that I love that I wouldn't consider popular (Death...

If I were just learning how to play guitar nowadays, I think I'd prefer watching the thousands of "guitar lesson" videos on YouTube over something like that - especially given how pricey those seem to be. That's just me, though.

I agree - I simply don't see any reasonable explanation for why Sprong should remain with the Pens, and do hope that he's sent back. As for previously mentioned comments about Crosby and the whiteboard: this is much ado about nothing. Go to a game and pay attention to the bench and you'll see this h...

how many more weeks until our next game?

More than a week until I can realistically watch a game. I hate the annual west coast trip for this very reason.

Ugh, NJ games are the worst. I'll never go to one again. Last time I went to a NJ game at home the Pens lost 6-0. Bloody awful game. :face: NJ is just incredibly boring to watch. On a related note, I went to the Devils homes games in the SCF (when they were playing the Aves) and could have moved do...

Why would you take Kessel off of the power play? I know that CBC announcers are the Canadian version of "yinzers", but that line of thought simply shows that they are also idiots. I found myself calling the CBC guys idiots throughout the entire broadcast, and the Kessel/PP comment wasn't even the d...

Thank you. This is what that one looked like in detail. Almost looks bad until you light it up from the inside.

I <3 this thread.

Nice stuff. My wife bakes the seeds with sea salt and butter, which makes for a nice snack... right behind the 2 lbs. of leftover candy in my pantry.

He's only second to Sundin in scoring for Toronto and accounted for over 20% of the Leafs' goals during his tenure... no big deal.

Last night was a perfect example of why I absolutely hated Eric Fehr while he was in Washington. He's just an outstanding two way player, and money on the PK. Of all the personnel changes between the two teams, I'd still take Fehr over losing Niskanen, Orpik and Chorney.

Anyone do any carving for Halloween? I couldn't think of anything original this year, and wound up just carving a Minion. https://farm1.staticflickr.com/712/22658803972_0d81226baa_c.jpg https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5677/22051200413_86f8bb9091_c.jpg It came out okay, despite some of my favorite cla...

I can't recall who wrote the article, but there was a recent quote from Johnston saying quite the opposite. He basically said that he uses those mistakes as learning experiences in coaching him (shocker!).

I actually thought the same when I saw Kunitz back out there after the PK. I get that they want somebody who does attempt to use their body in the corners to compliment 87 and 9, but I was looking for Sprong to be out there at that time, too. Spring didn't see the ice at all in the final 13 minutes ...

I don't see him playing in a top-6 spot on this roster regularly, to be honest. Those lines are clicking finally, and I have to wonder if Fehr returning means that Sprong will see more time on the 4th than anything.

Well, that's a little disappointing to me. Hopefully, Sprong seizes the chance to make the best use of his time possible, assuming they don't send him back before that 40 game mark (for his FA status).

Fehr will either push Porter back to WBS or Sprong to the Q. Neither would surprise me and I don't think either decision is more correct than the other. I'd agree with this, and hope that Porter sticks around in this scenario. He has been more noticeable on the ice (in a good way), and I think it'd...

This may be an unfavorable opinion, but I'm actually hoping that they send Sprong back to juniors before the 10th game. I don't see the 9 minutes he's getting actually being terribly beneficial at this point, and we've still got Fehr likely coming back tomorrow to fill a spot.

Crosby should just retire.

Haha, they just gave the kid who had the puck stolen from him a Crosby jersey and a puck. That's awesome. It's all over the Internet. Even ESPN (your first source for the NHL, I know) practically has a feature on it. Kid's on SportsCenter's Twitter, the vid of the idiot guy is all over. Dumbass guy...

Duper tried his best to hack that guy's arm off.

My wife fell asleep on the couch at 2INT. If she wakes up and the Pens lost I won't know how to explain it to her.

Explain it to her? Blame it on her.

This is almost comical.

Please tell me that I didn't just see the crowd doing the wave.
