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.”

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?

5idney Cr0(+1)sby Sucks In Last Game Of The Season

Following my return from Pittsburgh was a relatively quiet game on Saturday against the Atlanta Thrashers. 1-0 Pens lost. WBS Pens clinched a playoff spot night before beating Albany River Rats! WBS Pens first playoff game takes place on Wed at 7:00 PM against the River Rats. Interestingly enough at exactly the same time Pittsburgh Penguins will be facing Ottawa Sens. So put down your scissors and your razors and let the playoff games begin!

More about last game of the season which took place in NY against the Islanders. First off let me say that if NY Islanders are missing two Chipotle T-Shirts from giveaway for section 330 or two cups of dots icecream from unattended and unlocked concession stand well then MouthFullOfTang and I have no clue what happened to them.

Judging from all the Penguins jerseys i saw around arena on Sunday this was truly a Penguin Invasion. Pens fans from all over gather to witness Crosby take a poop on Alex Ovechkin and win that Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy.

Grats Sidney!

What happened to Ovie!? Do you remember not that long ago when he was leading NHL in at least 3 stats? Most Goals, Most Points, Highest + rating? Looking at the stats for the end of the season Ovie is nowhere to be found. Good to see he really stepped up his game.

Anyway, we had to get ready for this memorable moment in Sid’s career and whats better than to create a Sidney Crosby Sucks sign!?

thanks to @mrsletang @kayewtie for the pic above!

When Sid scored his 50th goal we pulled out this bad boy and started chanting Crosby Sucks … Nassau Coliseum was stunned!

As a tradition we bring you the best of  hockey on Long Island in this opening ceremony: Ice Girls and EVGENI MALKIN!!!

Worth mentioning that Eric Tangradi was playing like a beast. Even though he was pointless he played hard and stood out during the game on many occasions. Good job Eric!

Leo with the game winner in OT  continues to be hot hot hot! Lets hope he can bring this momentum over to playoffs.

Eric Godard Is a Fighter and a Lover …

I had front row seats for this game and received warm welcome from the photographers. When their heads or butt cracks were not in the way i was able to snap some quality shots. Enjoy!

JStaal playoff beard check!

Tanger playoff beard check!

BillyG playoff beard check!

Massive Johnson signed contract extension for two more years!

Jay McKee playoff stubble check!

Maxime Talbot playoff beard check!

tecmo from psamp.com cheering his heart out, playoff hair check!

Pens Fall To Habs But Geno and Bylsma Are Here To Cheer You Up

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

Pens fall to Montreal CanadiEns 5-3.

Pascal Dupuis (13) and Bill Guerin  (17) both had a goal. Evgeni Malkin (20) with a beautiful goal coming out of penalty box on a break away. Seems like Fluery never fully recovered after the first goal which should have been an interference call. He was pulled after 4th goal against him and Brent Johnson took his place. Crosby reached 300 assists in his NHL career.

Now here is something to cheer you up. Thanks to Evgeni Malkin Girlfriend forums for this one. I found the following images and a funny story behind them showing typical Geno’s funny side. The article is from sovsport.ru and is in Russain but i will translate the funny part. Hope it makes you smile!

Story Behind Pictures – “Geno write, ‘I Love My Coach’ ”

At the end of the interview i asked Malkin to participate in a photo session. At first I wanted to take  a picture of Malkin with Mario Lemieux – who is heart and soul of Pittsburgh Penguins. Even Mellon Arena is located on the street named after Mario.

Super Mario is owner of Pittsburgh Penguins and every so often after games he comes into the locker room. However, its strictly prohibited for media personnel to bother Mario. If Mario gives interview to one reporter than all of them come rushing in after. As a result Mario would forget his role of being quiet and retired millionaire and would turn into a “talking head”.

“Unfortunately, you can’t even take pictures with Mario. We are not going to bother him.” we were told.

To my reporters luck into the locker room walked in Sidney Crosby. He already put on his suit, fixed his blue tie, and styled his hair with gel. He gladly agreed to take a picture with his friend Geno.


“Is it ok if Geno is half a head taller than i am?” – jokingly asked Sidney.

… After that i asked Geno to write “To Vancouver!” on the board with a marker since in a week Olympics are starting.

Geno agreed. While he was busy enthusiastically writing the message, head coach Dan Bylsma walked by. He noticed that someone dared to write something on the board where he usually draws his game plans. “I love coach!” – exclaimed Dan in hopes that is what Geno is writing.

Geno translated, “Dan said that i am GREAT and an awesome Russian guy!”


Geno added a message for fans, “Cheer for us! Lets hope you have a great spirit that we can feed on. In return we will make you happy!”

Caps tomorrow!

Evgeni Malkin’s Hibernation Is Over With The 5th Career Hat Trick

Geno Stretching Before The Game … Thanks Lisa R. 

Well if you thought that Geno was back last game against the Canucks where he scored a goal off his skate then you probably haven’t seen Geno play much. We all know he has way more potential to score BIG! Tonight he did just that coming out of his winter hibernation with a 5th career hat trick. 

Few minutes before the game started … twitter madness began … and i had an interesting run in with Kristiana B. 

It must run in the family! She even had her dog cheering for Geno to get a hat trick. I am not going to mention that i promised to make love to Kristiana if Geno got a hat trick. Putting that on this blog would be completely classless.

 

Here is video of Malkinator in action … 

 

Other highlights of the game worth mentioning … Sidney Crosby with a MONSTER 6 points this game, 2 goals and 4 assists! Wow! BillyG aka Porn Stache also gets a goal and an assist. 4 Power Play Goals this game … Mike Yeo doesn’t mind not having that much hair anymore as long as Pens keep this up. 

 

This is how its done ladies and gentleman … if this was my fantasy roster i’d be rockin’ tonight! 

Kristiana B

 

Not everything went as smooth as we hoped, Andy Sutton drilled Pascal Dupuis into the boards behind the Islanders net. Dupuis laid there prone on the ice bleeding. Luckily, Dupuis was able to stand up and get off the ice. The crowd give him a well-deserved ovation. Sutton gets a major penalty for boarding and is tossed from the contest. I hope Dupuis is ok.

 

Massive Johnson was taking care of business while MAF is out with fractured finger. 

Lets check up on how our friend Rob Rossi is doing right now …

More Russians!

I’ve been saying it for years, and I’ll say it again, you just cannot have enough Russian in your everyday life.  People without the pleasure of some Russian influence just have no idea what they are missing out on.
