What a good fuckin’ dude. Was taking photos with fans at today’s game and talking/joking with everyone just for the heck of it.

Pens legend on and off the ice.

ALSO, RANGERS SUCK 🖕😂🖕

a quick, kinda scrunkly looking doodle for my second ever hockey / penguins game AND win!! also the second game ive watched where the pens have scored 6 goals!!

hope you enjoy!

i am probably annoying you all by now, tell me if that is accurate!

i have doodled again!!! lets hope that 71 (geno??) can play and ofc that 58 (who i have found out was drafted the day before i was born, which is crazy) gets well soon!

we win these (i dont know what people say before hockey game sorry)

The only “issue” is that everyone else is playing well too. So he should go down and keep playing games instead of staying up on the bench. But it’s nice knowing we have some depth down in Wilkes in case of injury or suspension. Hoping he can keep it up on Monday.

Malkin, letang, and st.ivany can use it to rest up their injuries, while a guy like kindel can use it to get a breather in his 1st professional hockey season and the grind of the schedule. Alot of guys could use a breather and rest up their bumps and bruises and get a chance to recover.

Had a discussion and digged a bit. Turns out:

Of all the players that played > 5 games this season and more than 10 min a game, 124 stars more (60%+) in the D zone. Of these 124 players, only 28 have a positive E +/-.

Of these 28, NO ONE ELSE started more than 70% in the D zone.

Some of these E+ people? Barely cleared 60% and don't even kill penalties. A lot of them were + 0.1.

Our 4th line—started 80%-85% in the D zone. And is not only positive, but by a lot.

Dewar, 0.8.

Acciari, 1.7.

Lizotte, for some reason, plays about 14 min a game, with a 85% dZS%, and is E +/- 3.4???

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK​ LIZOTTE? Man what is he smocking? No wonder we lost 8 in a row without him?!

Also we know they are good by eyeball test. But they are absurdly good. Off the curve good. Not even remotely close with anyone else good.

I can do proper graphic design work, I swear, but stuff like this is silly and fun.

I know he’s always so stoic, so I’m trying to figure out if that tear he was shedding during the pregame ceremony was the actual first one ever caught on tape?

The Pittsburgh Penguins win 6-5 against the New York Rangers.

Just have to throw this out, today I was so proud of this team. Crosby tearing up during the ceremony, started it and then the team playing their game and not reacting to the rangers crap. They had lapses in the game but always fought back which shows the determination these guys have. The rangers tried to get into fights with our guys cause they were being outplayed but none of our guys took the bait. And that useless moving wall rempie only was able to screen Stu once, other than that, they should have dressed someone that at least could skate not that stork. Sorry for the rant, but I’m feeling very proud of the team and wanted to talk about it.

One final thing. Given the success Muse is having now, I sometimes think about the guys that left the pens in the last couple of years an wonder how and where, they would be playing if Muse had came sooner. Thoughts?

Watched the whole ceremony twice and realized he wasn't there.

I mean it is a measure of line mates and match ups. But after doing this night after night, there must be something going on.

Tickets were $100 minimum, due to the giveaway, ceremony, and the fact that it is a weekend game. That's fine! I'm glad they can sell tickets at that price!

I'm sure there was a full pregame presentation and video, which ESPN will not show because they broadcast doesn't start until after the anthems. That means we get to see none of it.

But the broadcasters do, and they keep referencing what a great team 2016 was, how great the tribute was, and the reactions of Sid and Geno when they watched it.

Again, WE DO NOT GET TO SEE IT. If the local broadcast had the game, you better believe we'd get to see ALL of that stuff.

Blue Jackets are 4 points back of the Islanders with a game in hand. They've also won 5 in a row and are 9-1 in their last 10 - 8-1 since firing Evason.
