GNT | NYI @ PIT | Crosby's Return | 11.21.11

[evolver115]

I'm an asshole, duh. I really can care less, I got the game no matter what. I just hate Pittsburgh.

With Crosby back in the lineup, life in the NHL for sportsfans has returned to status quo

Joking aside, it is good to see Sidney back in the lineup. Just really not thinking this was the best game. Like I said, this can get ugly. Yes, last years shitshow is done. But one solid hit on Sidney tonight, can spark mayhem.

 

[Darkstone42]

I'm excited. Too bad I'm teaching during the game...

HEADS UP!

If he's healthy and cleared by the docs, you gotta play him, regardless of the opponent. Hopefully, Ricky can find the resolve to keep himself in the goal-crease, and/or bench, and not challenge Sid to a fight!

Please, if Ricky breathes too hard he pulls his groin and gets hip splinters.

Indeed.

Indeed.

Speaking of which, what did you think about the neutrino news from this past week? Was Einstein... wrong?

It's possible. I'm all about scientific revolutions, so I hope so. I feel like we might just have to amend Einstein's relativity laws to apply only to classical objects, and once again exempt quantum systems.

It would be great if the Islanders were to win this game. It's not going to happen though.

I wouldn't be so sure. The Pens have a habit of welcoming rookie goalies with their first career win. Ya never know!

This is a circus. The Pens are healthy. He's got the Keystone Cops in front of him. Nilsson is screwed.

One thing the Isles have going for them is the fact that the rest of the Pens could lay down a bit now that Sid's back. It's only natural to assume he'll just pick up right where he left off. Avoiding that may be the biggest hurdle of Sid's return.

Crosby, Malkin & Staal up the middle. The Islanders only have 1 player on their entire roster who could come remotely close to their level. This games has the makings of a blowout. I find it hilarious that Ricky is being protected tonight. Heck he's probably going to have to play anyway.

 

[flyersfan4706]

I can't believe this, but the Pens have a 99% healthy team. I think Lovejoy is the only injury, but I'm okay with it because Picard has played very, very well. The Isles ARE starting Nillson tonight. Sort of feel bad for the kid, but I'd rather face him than Ricky D. I just don't like him.

May be wrong, but isnt Michalek still hurt?

 

[BlueandWhiteForever]

So excited I can barely contain myself!!!!!!

Seriously though the league wasn't as interesting without him playing and it's great seeing him on the ice again. Will take him a bit to shake the rust off.

Does this mean pix needs to change her signature now?

 

[pixburgher66]

YESSSSSS! SIGNATURE CHANGE TIME! Thanks Boss! And 4706, lost in all the Crosby SportsHoopla (heh heh heh), is that Big Z is returning tonight too! HUZZAH!

Wow, and here I was thinking I could not hate the Pens anymore.
