The insidepittsburghsports.com reports:

You are probably aware that NHL commissioner Gary Bettman met with general managers and owners on Tuesday December 15th, 2009 at the Board of Governors meetings to talk about projections for next years salary cap in the $56.8 – $58.5 million range. The league does not expect a decrease and early projections show the possibility of even a $1.5 – $2 milllion increase at the max.

This salary cap projections set the stage for Sergei Gonchar contract negotiations. Now that executives with the Penguins have the cap projections for next season, they will move forward in contract talks with defenseman Sergei Gonchar. Penguins general manager Ray Shero and J.P. Barry the agent for Gonchar, will conduct their first set of substantive talks in early January. Pittsburgh’s top priority is to re-sign Gonchar but Pittsburgh will only have a window of 6 weeks to strike a deal as the Penguins have set a deadline that they won’t negotiate with Gonchar after the trade deadline. If the two sides are unable to agree to a deal before the trade deadline, striking a deal after the season before July 1 will be unlikely.

Penguins vs Flyers Recap

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

I know some of you have thought that Maxime Talbot was on a healthy scratch during yesterdays Penguins VS Flyers game. Apparently the superstar was in the stands harassing Philly players. Which lead to a 6-1 win. Here he is in all of his glory … thanks to Angela M. for sharing this on my facebook. Gotta love song called “The End of the Line” by Metallica from their new album “Death Magnetic”.

Tomorrow should be even more epic battle between Pens and Cryers.

Also be sure to check out our new page “Geno & Lord Stanley” with tons of quality photos from Geno’s day with Stanley Cup.

Afternoon Delight Genotease or Geno and Oksana Having Fun In Spain

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

Whats up my yinzers? While you were busy doing whatever you were doing i was busy digging up some quality shots of Geno. After winning Stanely Cup Geno and Oksana decided to take a well deserved vacation in Spain. I believe it happened around 08.07.2009 date. Vacation pictures include slingshots, alligators, goats, donkeys, well and of course sexy Geno. These pictures are almost as sexy as Geno’s shorthanded goal in 6-1 victory over Flyers last night.

Re: Wish You Were Here

Monday, December 14th, 2009

Writing this reply drunk so its a fair game because i hate to play unfair and love even odds. Bottle of 750 ml. of Jack Daniels would be sufficient enough i hope. Thank you Jimmy.

All of us sometimes feel like we are standing at a crossroad in life. The decision we make might have far greater effect than we can ever imagined. Do we listen to our instincts, intuition, irrational feelings, or do we try to analyze the situation to our best ability and make a rational decision? I wish i knew the answer to this question and i wish you were here to help me. Life is a Russian Roulette you take chances and hope for the best. If the best doesn’t come through well then … life is a lethal game … take your spin. It feels like i have taken many bad spins in my life time hoping for the best only to feel lead in my skull. However, i can’t let previous bad attempts stop me from playing and enjoying my life. If i do i might never experience that sweet reliving sound of an empty chamber and who knows that might just be my jackpot. This reminds me … why doesn’t YouTube have a repeat or loop option?! I have more questions than answers as i am sure so do you. Where do we go now sweet child of mine?

I am not alone in my search for answers … in search for answers i googled (which should be a dictionary word by now) for “Pittsburgh Penguins Love” … maybe something we all have in common. First result … “I started loving the Pittsburgh Penguins today. Since I really love Penguins in general, should I move there?

Wow me too! I love Pittsburgh Penguins … Wow I love the Penguins the cute birds. First of all that “bandwagon” crap is nothing but bullshit. I don’t normally curse in my posts as you might know it or know it not. Just when i need to make a point. Bandwagon shit makes me sick to my stomach … try to remember the time you decided to cheer for our Pens or because you were lucky enough to be born in Pittsburgh or the surrounding areas … well then that decision was probably made for you. Does it make you that much more special. Good luck believing that. Being an outsider … being born in Belarus, being a bandwagoner myself at one point in my life … its always nice to see people join our ranks as long as you stay true from this point on. Stay monogamous in your hockey relationship just like Emperor Penguins do during their mating season and well welcome to the club. I salute you! Standing up! Wish i could post a picture right now. I can but i want to focus on whats important here. Don’t let idiots get you down. I am glad you got your first Pittsburgh Penguins jersey i hope you worship it till the day you pull the trigger or life does that for you.

Moving to Pittsburgh or the surrounding areas is something i have considered myself. I love the land and the land is pretty cheap in PA. Land gives you power. Even if all else fails but you still have that land in your possession you can build a hut. You can grow your own fruits and vegetables to get you thorough the day. I know this might sound silly in the recent day and age but last night i watched 2012 and everything humanity has accomplished in past could be wiped out in matter of years, months, days, or even hours and minutes. Life is Russian Roulette. Take your spin or the spin will be taken for you.

If you truly want to try something in life … or give something a chance worst thing you can do is deny yourself that spin. If you do you might hate yourself for the rest of your life. You might take your spin and witness lead going through your skull, is that the end of the world? Is that end of life? I don’t exactly know but i would rather take the spin then never know the outcome. Sometimes the sound of a bullet blowing your brains might be the sweetest and last sound you have ever witnessed in your life time. So if you take my suggestion … i say take a spin and move to Pittsburgh. I love you all and i wish you all best of luck in your daily decisions. Wish you were here to help me with mine but all i need is just a little patience and then i’ll know.

I started loving the pittsburgh penguins today. Since I really love penguins in general, should I move there?

Led Zeppelin – Zoso – Brent Massive Johnson

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

Ok its time to set all rumors aside and separate facts from fiction. I am a huge Led Zeppelin fan and Jimmy Page had a significant influence in my life. As i always say there are only 2 men in this universe i would go gay for Evgeni Malkin in Pens uniform and Jimmy Page from 70′s chugging on a bottle of Jack Daniels. How i became a Led Zeppelin fan is another story which also includes how i met my best friend Rafal W. About 12 years ago when i was in high school i was obsessed with The Beatles. One day i was carrying some Beatles CDs with me and this douchebag Polish guy approached me and said: “Wow you listen to this type of music? Do you ever listen to Led Zeppelin?” At that point i didn’t so he brought me Led Zeppelin BBC Sessions Album to listen to. If you haven’t heard this album your life is incomplete. Since i do many things backwards in life i popped 2nd cd … and first song i heard that came on was Immigrant Song. “This is a … this is something we have waited for a long time on this show, and i know its going to be well worth the wait. So would you welcome please Led Zeppelin!”  My life was never the same after that.

Maxime Talbot Superstar Tattoo and Party on Dec. 14

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

Thanks to people on twitter for posting this awesome picture of Maxime Talbot. Just about everything in this picture says Superstar! Starting with his ripped up jeans to his belt, his watch and of course his awesome tattoo. Check out this awesome “T” on a shield with wings ink on his ginormous bicep.

Maxime Talbot Tattoo Ink

Naturally, I was very curious to find out the meaning behind the tattoo and it didn’t take me long enough to find more information on it. Thanks to the post-gazette.com for clarifying this: “Max credits his upbringing and family for his good fortune. The humor comes more from his mother’s side, the work ethic from his father’s line, and the amalgamation is a say-anything, do-anything attitude that inspires the Talbots to run headlong at life. “We’re nine cousins, nine Talbots, two girls and seven guys,” Talbot said. “We’re a really tight family.” The cousins, ages 18 to 30, each have a “T” tattoo. Max Talbot’s is on his upper right arm, enhanced with a shield and wing.”

Apparently Superstar is teaming up with Manic Magazine to host the biggest, wildest party this town has seen in years, all for a great cause.  Join us on Monday (yeah, Monday!), December 14, 2009 at Bossa Nova on 7th St. for a star-studded gala to benefit the Gervais-Talbot Charities. Thanks to Manic magazine for providing this awesome picture of Max. Read about the party here.

Malnourished Evgeni Malkin and Obese Pascal Dupuis

Friday, December 11th, 2009

Hey guys whhaaats happening? Mmm, yeahhh. I am gonna need to go ahead and do this right, cuz that would be just greeeeat! So i am pretty sure that i am onto something here greater than the theory of relatively which has revolutionized scientific progress. Evgeni Malkin hasn’t scored a goal since November 28th … in a little slump and no real reason to start panicking. Rather than starting dirty rumors to trade Malkin i just want to look at things that might potentially help Geno come out this slump and play like MVP that he is. While my memory is still fresh from the previous food related post i think i have hit bullseye here. While our memory is still fresh from playoffs what has helped Geno the most during playoffs? Answer is simple … mama’s home cooking. Here is what ESPN had to say about Malkin’s success during playoffs:

The secret to Evgeni Malkin’s success is out. Soup and beef.

“My parents are superstars now,” Malkin said after scoring the first playoff hat trick of his career in Pittsburgh’s 7-4 win over Carolina on Thursday night. “They’ve helped me in everything. My mom now before game is great cooker. I feel good now.

“I love Russian food, and my mom cooks Russian food. It’s helped me. My favorite food is beef, and before every game I have soup.”

Since Geno is no longer being fed by his mom what is he left with? Party girl Oksana Kondakova who probably couldn’t even boil an egg! Poor Geno! What can you do to help!? Make some great home cooking and send it to Geno’s house so he can score some mad goals!

Thats like my favorite part of food! I like to chew it up and swallow it till it goes down into my tummy! Then i like to give my tummy a big congratulation rub on a mission well accomplished. Followed by an hour nappy time to ensure all them good nutrients get properly absorbed into my body. Yes food is great! If you don’t like to eat your delicious food give me a call and i’ll come help you out! Call me easpecially if you need help consuming that delicious cheesecake with potential cherries or strawberries on top or potato latkas with or without bacon bits and potential sour cream on the side.

Thats right you are a whore! A Penguins Whore that is!

What Is Most Exciting Recent News For The Penguins?

Friday, December 4th, 2009

Due to lack of exciting material out there i am forced to rechew and gnaw on some old bones. So whats the most exciting recent news for our Pens? Its difficult to pinpoint but i am going to try and take a stab at few ideas flying around.

Of course the recent exciting Sidney Crosby hat trick against the NY Rangers on a free hat night? Being that it is an old news it gets only 2 out of 5 stars here. Thanks GhostWalker40 for the videos.
