Plan Adjusted … Pens In 6

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

Recent studies have shown that many animals like to play with their prey before killing and eating them. Penguins are no exception to the rule. They have grown into birds of prey. As any other predator Penguins enjoy playing and toying around with their prey which is the case with Sens. There is just something exciting with giving your prey a sense of hope, even if its for a short lived moment, and then swiftly take it away. With this information at hand Pens have readjusted their plans to end the series in 6 games.

It would be silly to lay down any negatives from last nights game. All i saw was a solid game by Pens and a couple of lucky goals by Sens. If you are experiencing any sort of panic after last nights game you are simply a silly person. Pascal Leclaire will be lit up like a rich man’s Christmas tree with all the proper accessories. The only thing i am worried about Saturday’s game is that i won’t be able to see the game and miss the ohh-so-sweet hand shake ceremony. However, we all must make sacrifices for the greater good of the humanity.

In some related news … Sidney Crosby Still Sucks … hard! Quite frankly i am getting tired of seeing this guy, i mean he is like everywhere … literally.

Pittsburgh Penguins Playoff yard sign was raised in front of Foley’s pub. It was given a proper ceremony that included singing of national anthem. The crowd went wild and almost lost their minds. We dont blame them.

Go Run for the Mario Lemieux Foundation! A real marathon!

Thats all i have today because i am tired from watching what seemed to be endless hockey game.

Pens In 5 and Yinz Still Luv Da Guins

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

Here is your new desktop background. Hint: click on it to download high resolution. Thanks Seth from EN for posting it.

Yeah keep talking shit because you don’t have much of anything else to bring forward. Sens like a bunch of circus monkeys tried to put on a show for their home crowd and miserably failed. They only thing they manged to accomplish is injure Tyler Kennedy. TK suffered right leg injury after hit by Andy Sutton in the first period. Hockey wise Sens couldn’t accomplish much against the Pens irresistible force. In fact 2 of their goals was scored in 5-on-3 situation.  As promising Versus statistics suggested Sens had no chance, Pens 7-0 this season when both Crosby and Malkin score. At the end of the 3rd period Ruutu’s last resort tactic of blowing officials did not yield much result. 7-4 Pens win and are leading series 3-1.

Pens are headed home to end this freak show on home ice. Andy Sutton considering career alternatives as a golf expert. Btw, Crosby still sucks …

Foleys atmosphere was unreal last night with exception of some new kids whose hate for Devils this season have clouded their vision and their cheer for Flyers was completely uncalled for. Let me remind you hating Devils is not the same as cheering for Flyers. Know your enemy! Don’t know about ya’ll but i want to face Devils in the playoffs and stick it up to them. Sign ideas include … “You can’t beat us in the playoffs”. I am happy to report that Pens flag above Foleys was once again flying yesterday before the game. Big thanks to Shaun owner of Foley’s Pub.

Jim Shearer who caught a break from his busy working schedule was at Foley’s as well. Sure enough he came out with a new hilarious episode of Yniz Luv Da Guins. I am glad he wasn’t the only Penguin fan on the cruise.

Optional skate today at 1pm showed who wants to get some ice time … Seven Penguins participated in the optional practice at Mellon Arena. Those that laced up the skates are Matt Cooke, Ben Lovejoy, Eric Godard, Ruslan Fedotenko, Deryk Engelland, Brent Johnson and Brad Thiessen. The rest of the Penguins took a well deserved break.

Jordan Staal nominated for Selke Trophy but as Seth from EmptyNetters puts it Staal has no chance of winning it since its “… almost seems like a Gold Glove in baseball. You can seemingly only win it if you’ve won it before. If that makes sense.”

$35,000 and still growing beard-a-thon donations to Mario Lemieux Foundation. New faces include Max Talbot and Pascal Dupuis. Donate today!

Lots of talk about new 3rd alternative jerseys for Penguins that will be coming out later this year. Quote taken from here.

New alternate jersey It’s been widely rumored and now Reebok is confirming that the Penguins will ditch their powder blue thirds in favor of a new alternate uniform for 2010-11. Once again, the manufacturer hasn’t released any details of the design.

However, Tribune-Review beat writer Rob Rossi said in December that blue would be returning in some fashion to the new third jersey. It’s probably a safe bet that the Pens will dig into their past once again for this sweater — likely going with one of the darker blue options.

The home and road jerseys will stay the same.

Another High School Pens Video … don’t these kids have like classes and homework to do or something?

Pens Take Series Lead and Kris Letang’s Tattoo

Monday, April 19th, 2010

You better believe it … Pens game 5 playoff tickets went on sale TODAY! If you can’t afford tickets be sure to stop by Dick’s and grab a free playoff yard sign.

I am desperately trying to get one for Foley’s (Thanks to Lisa R who volunteered to send me one! What a lady!) especially since Pens flag that usually flies above the entrance fell off. Not being superstitious about it or anything but that kind of crap is simply unacceptable especially during playoffs. Tuesday i am bringing my own Pens flag and putting it up above Foley’s if all else fails.

Foley’s was rocking last night. There were about 30 people. Right before the game i got a twit from @ZPAwoman who told me her friend Steve is in town from Pittsburgh and was planning on visiting Foleys. After extensive search for Steve at Foleys which basically consisted of 3 guys yelling out Steve to every male that walked into the bar. Mission was finally accomplished and Steve was found! He had a great time and recommended that his friend Enzo comes to visit on Tuesday night. We will be sure to keep our eyes open for Enzo as well!

Another amazing performance by Pens last night. My beard was itchy as hell which is a great indication that Pens were going to do some magic on ice. Game definitely had that Out For Justice feel. Crosby sucks …

Poni open with a huge goal which took him back all they way to 2004 when he scored his first career NHL playoff goal. He was so stocked to score he couldn’t believe it and it got him going for the rest of the game. He was pretty much everywhere going nuts and believing.

Soon after i saw red fill up Evgeni Malkin’s eyes and my itchy beard was going nuts. I knew he was going to come out swinging hard. With Maxy Talby back on his line they put Sens name to the test and Sens failed. Geno 3rd goal of the playoff of Max with a huge assist to put the puck on Geno’s stick with wide open net.

Favorite part of the game was Billy G on the breakaway. Dad scores! Minutes later … Brooks Orpik was like … hey i want to do that too! Would have been huge but 4-2 is good enough to make Sens get their golf clubs polished.

Anyone else saw two hits on Letang’s unprotected sex hair. Somehow i got the feeling that there were plenty of Pens fans that enjoyed those hits more than Sens fans. Go figure. Anyway about Kris Letang. I know i know just keep breathing.

Recently there surfaced a video of Kris Letang giving interview in French and showing off his new tattoo that he got over the Olympic break. Here it is:

I am no French expert so i asked my friend Vanessa V an awesome French Canadian girl who plays better hockey than you to translate it for me. In the beginning of the interview Kris talks about going back to Montreal to see his family. He also says the team (Penguins) is doing well, that the boys are working hard and that there’s no feel of a Stanley Cup hangover.

Then he goes on to talk and show his tattoo. Check out his new ink pics.

Top portion of the tattoo is dedicated to his grandmother. Kris says that she always has been there for him.

Bottom portion of the tattoo and the guitar part is obviously dedicated to Letang’s best friend and former roommate Luc Bourdon who used to play for Vancouver Canucks and tragically died in a motorcycle accident on May 29, 2008. During the 2008 NHL Draft, the Canucks’ management wore guitar pins to remember Bourdon, because he was an avid guitarist.

Vanessa also adds that Kris has definitely not forgotten where he was from – makes her very proud.

At Unreal.

Keep Calm 1-0 Sens

Thursday, April 15th, 2010

No need to panic. Everybody just keep calm.

Is losing to Sens on home ice first game of the playoffs a wake up call?

No!

Its like adding fuel into fire!

No doubt in my mind Pens come back Friday night chopping heads.

This is just the way Pens build up momentum of the series.

You cry, i laugh!

Best part Geno = 2 goal. Mama and Papa Malkin ain’t even here yet!

Keep Calm and O RLY!?

Keep Calm and do the Geno chant. Thanks Nicole T.

Keep Calm and enjoy Craig Adams backhand goal …

Keep calm cuz MAF’s mandatory-playoff-goal-giveaway-while-being-stuck-behind-net is history now.

Besides $15,000+ raised on beard-a-thon towards Mario Lemieux Foundation

should give more than plenty of money aside to pay off all the refs.

Keep calm and drink beer.

No tickets? Keep calm and watch Pens destroy Sens on Friday on Trib Tron.

Keep calm and do the chant.

WBS Pens lost 4-3 to Rats … still …

Keep Calm and Believe!

Penguins 2010 Stanley Cup Prayer

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

The day of reckoning is upon us. The judgement day is at hand. So put down pictures of Lord Stanley from last year and and let us join together in prayer. The following were taken from letsgopens.com forums …

Author: Pens4Life87

Our Owner who’s name is Mario
Stanley cup be thy claim
When the playoffs come
It shall be done
this year as it was done last
Forgive us for losing to the devils
As we forgive Stamkos for tying Crosby
Deliver us from early elimination
and let us hoist the cup again
for ever and ever
AMEN

Author: PensFanInDC

And winners we shall be
Of thee, my Lord Stanley, of thee.
Pucks hath entered forth into MAFs glove hand
Our skates may swiftly carry out HCDB’s command
So Sid shall score a hat trick forth to Thee
And teeming with head wear the ice shall be.
In Nomeni Mario, Et Sidney, Spiritus Evgeni.”

I thoroughly enjoyed those.

Some news before puck drops tonight.
