^Side note on the speed. Did anyone else here laugh when James Kneel won a foot race with Olli Maatta to the puck?

Murray is the better chance to win. I don't get that debate.

As for d-men it is either Hainsey, Streit, Guance or Warsofsky. I don't think Ruhwedel is healthy?
In this case it is like putting lipstick on a pig.

I thought Sullivan said he was healthy late in the ECF, just not being used. Gaunce and Warsofsky both appeal to me more than Hainsey at this point, though. They can't be worse. Scuderi might have even been an upgrade at this point.

If Ruhwedel is healthy he should be in or I hope so.

LOL about Scuderi that is cold very cold...But with that said which version of Scuderi?

The one that was a healthy scratch when the Reign visited Tucson earlier this season.

Someone just bought 3 tickets behind the Predators bench to Game 6 in Nashville on StubHub for $30,202, including fees.

This is where me not being a drinker really pays off.

I would have been outta there for like 150 including tip. I don't need a stinking T shirt. And I would have brought home leftovers.

Reminds me of my younger days during the Calgary Stampede - Never too early to get a buzz.

/Sadly, I just can't do that anymore.

Right there with ya. Among other blurry memories, I recall "celebrating" Chuck and Di's wedding with buddies in university. Seemed logical at the time to start popping champagne corks at 6 am. We were completely smashed by the time they got to Westminster. I think it was around 9 am (and yes, I went to school during the summer).

It looks like they started their day at 11:06 am and finished at 9:50 pm. SO all in all it sounds like a productive day.
Last time I did that my liver filed reckless endangerment charges against me.

Also - chicken fingers with horny mustard? Wtf?

And how much do you want to bet the shirt was bought because something was spilled on it. Or vomited on it.

Four day weekend houseboating trips on Shuswap Lake (BC interior) also can wreak some havoc with one's liver.

Spent 4 days on a Bruce Peninsula lake house maybe 6 or 7 years ago. When we returned the empties before leaving, we needed two pickup trucks to get it all to the Beer Store and at .10 cents per bottle we got just under $100 for them.

I'll let you do the math.

I'd say that's pretty unlikely.

I'd also say that's pretty cold. Insert choice of...
spoiled Pittsburgh fans that almost lost franchise are not deserving of 1 cup let alone 4
lick my balls
stop slagging off DC, we employ half your city
Wiz Khalifa and Mac Miller are overrated as fuck

...here in response.

Get what you wanted?

Woah...Wiz is awful, and Black and Yellow can go burn in a hole....but I love Mac.

I really don't think the Pens have enough in the tank for this series, but I've also said that about pretty much every series they've played this postseason. This run is beyond improbable. Letang was Conn Smythe quality last year, and this year there's not a single defenseman who has looked more than average. Can we please find a way to shoot Neal into the sun so I don't have to watch him win? It causes a visceral reaction in me.

Streit can at least pass a bit. He's just as immobile as Hainsey, but he's not nearly as brutal handling the puck. I think I'd lean toward Ruhwedel at this point, though. He's not very skilled, but he's a much better skater than Hainsey, and that could be a big deal against a team as fast as the Preds.

I would also lean towards Ruhwedel. I think Streit has been horrible when we've seen him, and he really didn't add anything to the powerplay, a supposed strength of his. Ruh has had some bad games, but Hainsey is just exhausted, I think. Over his head. If Ruh looks shaky, you can always go back to him.

In general, I hate the two day break (I thought for sure there was a game tonight) but I think it is better for the Pens.

Murray is the better chance to win. I don't get that debate.

There is an argument you can make that Fleury is better at making certain types of saves - like maybe on fast breaks - but even if that were settled, I don't think it would be enough to make up for most of what Murray does well. He made some huge saves on Monday to keep the game close - the game was lost when we failed to take a 2-1 lead on multiple chances.
