    I'm waiting for the Archibald jersey I ordered to get here. It is one of the reverse robopenguin they are wearing tonight. They winter classic Pirates jersey is growing on me.

    Kris Letang took part in a full practice today without limitations ten days after his second stroke. He is a maniac, lol.

    WTF is up with Jeff Skinner? Guy had one good year in Carolina, got paid and didn't do d!ck after that. Then gets traded to Buffalo and is invisible there for three years. Starts this year out with 13 goals and goes after Guentzel who is 10 times the player. He needs to miss tomorrow's game, little punk.

    WTG, Carter. Screw Buffalo. That freakin' fossil Craig Anderson throwing a hissy fit because Jake tapped his glove. F^%* 'em. Tomorrow's game might get a little rough.

    They started playing defense a bit more and Sully's 200 ft game plan started working again. It's been a fun ride so far.

    Very defensively sound this evening. Good job between the pipes by Casey with a bit of help from said pipes. Your boy Archie was all over the place tonight. He makes sh!t happen. Letang back on the blue line. Unreal. Might have lost Petry to a left wrist injury. Didn't look good.

    Yeah that was brutal looking. I'm still struggling with Letang being back after 12 days. That is scary and impress at the same time. My son has gotten into the World Cup and was destroyed when Portugal lost today and I explained Morocco's defensive strategy as being similar to the 90's Devils neutral zone trap and my wife goes so it works. Well yes but it's boring. She is no fun.

    Beat the Stars Tuesday in a tight, playoff style game, then spot the Cats a 1-0 lead before pulling out a 4-2 win. Jarry was amazing. Only sour note was the third goal was a slapper by Sid that went off of Malkin's right leg and in the net. He was in a lot of pain, left the ice and didn't return. Hopefully he only misses a couple of games. He was on a 10-point scoring streak.

    Pens 7 game winning streak coupled with Devils 4 game losing streak has them tied for 2nd with Canes and only 4 pts back of 1st. A few weeks ago it looked like an insurmountable hill to even sniff the pole position. Sullivan's got them turned around and playing sharp. Has there ever been a HC who led both an NHL and NFL team? :rolleyes:

    I do love Sullivan. Damn good ass Coach. I've always believed that the NHL has the most notable difference between regular season and Playoffs. For me, Hockey starts in the middle of March. I think PENS have longest making Playoffs streak going.???? I just assume they will make Playoffs and start following closer in March.

    Biggest difference isn't the goal scoring. It's the team commitment to defense. Their back check is fierce and the goal tending by both Jarry and DeSmith has been stellar.

    Sully's a no-nonsense task master. Me first players need not apply. You're either going to play his way or you can sit your a$$ in the press box. I like the way he handles his team and himself, he commands respect.

    Drop a tough one Sunday to Carolina, then come back and beat the Rangers, a team I've learned to really hate.

    My retirement from jersey buying was shirt lived. The retro robopens jersey I ordered in November came. Not bad for 42 dollars.

    Nice. I am looking forward to seeing Archibald back out on the ice with the other injured guys to see if they can get back on a winning streak.

    During tonight's game, Letang, Petry and Poehling all skated this afternoon. Archie had been skating but didn't today. Pettersson a scratch because he's sick. Poor Mark Friedman. Sent him back down to WBS yesterday, called him back up today.
