Series Thread: Eastern Conference Final - Sens vs Pens

[esls79]

The Pens won that one last night for Powers Boothe - Jean Claude Van Damme may have gotten the marquee for Sudden Death but without Boothe there isn't this gem of a film.

SPEAKING of horr-awful commentators:

PAUL STEIGERWALD IS GONE. HE'S GONE I TELL YOU.

So you're saying there's a hockey announcing job in Pittsburgh open? I will alert Bob "Flapjacks on a ferris wheel" McElligot. He is currently the Blue Jackets radio guy who CLEARLY grew up on french fry sammiches and wants to be Mike Lange. He would welcome a chance to return there, I'd wager.


Plus, his son is also a goalie. And happens to be the only one who beat my son last year in league play. So if he leaves too, that will be better.

So, the last two times I couldn't watch the game live, the Pens won. Both were shutouts, too.

I won't be watching live again.

Best news of the day...

BTW...I think I heard the only play by play hockey announcer worse than Paul Steigerwald.

Yes it is ECHL but came across him on 97.7 in Atlanta.

For all your listening pleasure.....

Why do announcers not just use their actual voices? It's so obvious he's doing a voice when a goal is scored.

A couple of Pittsburgh Penguins fans love Phil Kessel so much, they named their baby after him.

Nicole and Adam Hillman welcomed baby Kessel Ryan on Mother’s Day. The little bundle of hockey fandom was born at 6:55 p.m., almost exactly 24 hours before Kessel scored the winning goal of Game 2 Monday night to even up their series against the Ottawa Senators.

Another happy coincidence: the couple was placed in bed No. 81 upon their arrival at the hospital.

New dad Adam Hillman showed his support in an… interesting way.

“As the contractions are coming, he’s sitting their playing the ‘Let’s Go Pens!’ with the blow horn,” said new mom Nicole Hillman (who somehow didn’t seem annoyed about it).

It's 31°C in Ottawa right now. I'm thinking the ice is going to be just awesome tonight.

 

[KennyBanyeah]

Oh yeah. For all you Yanks that's about 88 F.

Canadians are always dreaming up a lotta ways to ruin American lives. The metric system, for the love of God! Celsius! Neil Young!

I'm with ya partner. I cheer for Ottawa, I don't live there (anymore).

Don't worry, the ice is still ok at almost 310 Kelvins. It's when it gets to 410 Kelvins you have to be careful.

Thanks I needed that. After living within 30- 40 minutes of Canada most of my life, one might think I'd bookmark the equivalent page.
