HAY GUYS

The Penguins took another day off from being awesome and winning today while they wait for Laraque (Spanish for "the raque") and Gobblerts to arrive from their wonderful paradisios. When asked where the offense has gone, coach Michel Therrien said this: "DOCTOR EMMITT BROWN TOOK IT TO APRIL WHEN WE'LL NEED IT THE MOST. END TRANSMISSION"

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Not to mention he is the second best shot-tipper in the game (Holmstrom).

Here's hoping Edmonton, err, Lowe, can redeem himself in the offseason and re-sign him.

And Denicalis, I'm sure Edmonton fans around the world appreciate your concern, but I'm pretty sure you are a Boston fan, meaning you have your own GM to yell at. Brad Boyes for Dennis Wideman? Sorry, but you just got robbed.

What is it with Boston management?

Hey acid, is Lowe possibly as hated right now as Jan Bulis is in Vancouver?

I'm really starting to feel sorry for you guys. Here, take Jan Bulis as a gift.

...

Please?

You hit the nail on the head, sir. I'm a Boston fan. I'm well aware that my GM sucks, and I'm so aware of it that I simply expect it now. I'll start caring again after he's gone and hope comes back.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The Bruin organization needs a complete overhaul. Remember, this is Chiarelli's first season as GM for the BruCru. Remember the Mike O'Connnell era?

Long story short, the Bruins are an average franchise right now, like the rest of the Original Six, stagnating thanks to a lack of creativity and ingenuity.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Absolutely. They need young ownership with a dynamic vision. But I've been black and gold since infancy, and I'm not quitting just because they're struggling right now.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Could you possibly explain yourself?

I was speaking idiomatically.

I probably wouldn't consider his comments valid, except maybe in an alternate dimension where the Penguins aren't in the playoffs and are moving or folding.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

YO PITTSBURGH MIKE HERE · Local time: Mar 2, 2007, 04:18 PM

I think he just watched March of the Penguins. Oh, the plight of the penguin is a sad one.

FELIPE NO

Dopefish · Mar 2, 2007, 11:53 PM

Penguins lost again tonight thanks to some more shoddy defense and goaltending. Someone forgot to tell the Pens front office that you can't always outscore the other team.

In other news:

YouTube Video

Tomas Kaberle got blasted by Cam Janssen and the Leafs did nothing in retaliation, despite the hit being late, an elbow, and Janssen leaving his feet. No penalty was called, and Janssen sat for the rest of the game. He'll almost certainly be fined, and the refs will get a talking to.

Which all of them should, every night. The refs screw something up night after night.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

BucPride · Mar 3, 2007, 03:55 AM

Sweet Jesus, how the fuck did that not get a call, especially at least a double minor. After all, Kaberle got rid of the puck well prior taking that nasty hit and elbow. 'Tis fucked up.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

In before BZ comparing it to Neil's hit on Drury.

Fuck off.

Dopefish · Mar 3, 2007, 04:21 PM

Neil's hit was cleaner than Janssen's, no doubt. I like how the Maple Leafs did NOTHING in response. "One of best players was injured on a late hit! LET'S GO GET 'EM!"

*tickle tickle*

Little Brenty Brent Brent · Local time: Mar 4, 2007, 11:15 AM

It wasn't a cheap shot at all. Drury was admiring his pass. You learn to keep your head up and know where other players are on the ice when you're ten years old. It wasn't illegal, it wasn't late as defined by the NHL rulebook, and getting mad about it when your team tried to pick fights with soft danglers like Spezza just makes you look like a joke.

I was speaking idiomatically.

GO FLAMES GO!

Battle of Alberta... FUCKING ROCKED IT! Anybody have a video of Phaneuf's hit in the 3rd? I can't remember who he smoked, but he got him good.

I couldn't tell you, it's hard to read the name when it's fucking SIDEWAYS.

How ya doing, buddy?

Penguins ownership declares an impasse in their attempts to reach a deal on an arena in Pittsburgh and "will aggressively explore relocation."

Within the last few minutes, however, Penguins fans on a hockey board I visit say that Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato said on KDKA in Pittsburgh a deal is close.

So, basically, we won't know what's going on for sure until the Penguins sign a deal somewhere.

How ya doing, buddy?

*crosses his fingers* Crosby, Malkin, Staal, Roberts and LaRaque in Hartford. Come on, Jesus, you fucking owe me.

(A boy can hope. If they can't stay in Pittsburgh, I want my Whalers back.)

I know, they would probably wind up in Vegas, but could you imagine if we had the Whale back? How sweet would that be? The battle of New England back up and running, the young superstars within easy travelling distance to watch them... Hell, I'd even be cool with the Jets or the Nordiques coming back. Stop growing the brand in shitty places and bring it back to hockey markets, damnit.

Dopefish · Mar 5, 2007, 04:58 PM

I think the NHL is hard against going back to towns that had teams that moved (though, the irony is that most of them ones that have moved recently ended up winning Cups...ex: Nords and Whalers). I'd love the Penguins to move closer to me than further (MUCH further, as it would be with Houston, KC or Vegas), but I'd prefer them stay in Pittsburgh.

I was speaking idiomatically.

No. Hard Pass. · Local time: Mar 5, 2007, 04:00 PM

Yeah. I really like the idea of Pittsburgh as a young dynasty. Y HALO THAT EARLY 90s. Also, am I the only one thinking we're in a golden era of hockey in terms of talent?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Dopefish · Mar 5, 2007, 05:02 PM

I wouldn't make THAT leap. Maybe as far as the difference between the best and the worst is the amongst the widest of all time, but there are no ultra-dominant scorers in the league.

How ya doing, buddy?

Wojo · Mar 5, 2007, 05:15 PM

Well thats some pretty depressing news to start off the week. The local politicians kept on telling the public that an arena deal is "very close" but I now wonder how "close" they really were.

Why on Earth would they want to relocate to Kansas City. It is beyond me. Yeah 100% free arena, but good luck trying to have a decent fan base there.
