Today is Happy World Penguin Day...

I have a request for IPW's talents - Any chance you could photoshop Bill Buckner in place of Marc Andre Fleury fielding that grounder err puck behind first base err I mean the net?

The sad thing about Bill Buckner was that he was actually above average in terms of his sureness of hands. He had terrible range, but he didn't miss very often. He just happened to at the most wrong time.

Darn it, NHL schedulers, we should be playing today!

Except not, because I have a softball tournament and would miss the game, so good job NHL schedulers!

Sooooo, like Fleury?






This thread will remain civil provided no one reaches for Sister Sledge.

Inverted Fleury. I would say Fleury's range is above average, but his surehandedness is below average.

That is, his gaffes are far less surprising, but he's more likely to make a "big" play, too.

Well, we're not playing today, so that's a start...

Yesterday, Stinger went to a park cleanup photo op.

Hard to see, but he has a playoff beard going too.

Soooo close. He just couldn't finish the article without coming across as a bit douchey.

What’s for sure is that Columbus fans, of all people, have set the bar in this series

I mean, we're barely humans! Am I right or am I right? AMIRITE?

Game 5 winner will win the series in 6 I believe. MAF will be facing rubber from every angle and his mental game will be tested like no other game.

I think Columbus wins this series either way, if Pittsburgh wins game 5, Columbus comes back and wins 6 and 7 - if Columbus wins tonight they finish it out in game 6

Still can't believe mankind and Crosby have yet to score. That happens and bjs are done

The Jackets also have to avoid the confidence curse. They can't float and change their fame, they have to do the work for 60 minutes and avoid the Penguin outburst. If Malkin and Crosby get going, that's a mighty big hill to get up.

Murray and Tyutin look to be in for the Jackets. That will help.

Methinks you are being a bit too nit-picky. What's wrong with a subtle back-handed compliment in a fledgling rivalry?

 

[dare2be]

I'd rather the Pens get eliminated in this round than to any other team. Because it will happen. No time like the present.

I like the cut of your jib.

 

[dare2be]

What I mean is the Pens will get eliminated sometime during these playoffs, in case that wasn't clear.

Hopefully the hairless nut explained it to coach Meyer too.

Now we just need to get Scuderi out of the lineup...
