Our goaltenders should spend the off season in Japan so they can try their hands at competitive origami -- because goddamn can they ever fold under pressure.
Shitty reffing this game. Pens probably shouldn't be winning anyway, but calling some questionable stuff for the isles and letting some obvious stuff go against them.
Leafs eliminated from playoff contention again! Hey, remember a month ago when they were something like 85% to make the playoffs? Oh, look, alcohol! Don't mind if I do!

There's a lot of people at this Columbus game. Looks like mostly Wings fans, but still. Also, I can't believe the Blue Jackets are up a goal on the Wings in the second.
Is there a hockey players thread or can I just blab in here? I bought new equipment today. First time since high school. I got a new chest protector, elbow pads, hockey pants, jock/sock holder, bag, and I am now going to wear a visor instead of a cage. I am pretty nervous and excited to wear a visor. Should be a fun experience.
I disliked visors when I made the switch back ~10-15 years ago. I switched back to a cage, but had a half-visor on my ref helmet. The half visor wasn't bad.
Yea, we will see how I like it. I am going to bring a screw driver and my cage just in case I want to switch back.
I haven't fully suited up for hockey since high school. I have been doing sticks & pucks in Hatfield, PA for the past few months but you don't need full equipment. Gonna do it in full equipment tomorrow and then tomorrow night we are doing open hockey. SO MUCH HOCKEY TOMORROW!
Pens defense is scaring me lately, doesn't look like they're playing well together Kris Letang is in the lineup.
Yeah, I guess that'd do it. I hope we do a little shuffling on the blue line in the off season, as much as I love Letang, we can't just rely on him 100% of the time like we do now.

Keeping Letang and Orpik, of course. Develop Despres a little more, get Michalek in a combo that works. Engo is fairly interchangeable with any heavy hitting defense, Martin is the weak link.
Also, for as hit and miss as he was last season, I think Niskanen has been really solid all year. Having him missing the last few games hasn't helped anything.
I'm not ready to make too much noise about the Islanders games yet. I mean, sure the defensive performance was lacking, but it's not like that was the first time it has happened all season. However normally the Pens are bailed out by
1) Scoring 5-7 goals so it doesn't matter how bad the D was or
2) Fleury making 2-3 saves on plays that would normally result in goals (e.g. breakaways).
And neither of those has happened this week.

I didn't even know there was a game tonight.
I suck.
...guess I got greedy.

Crap. He also took a puck to the side of the head before that.
...and now Montoya's in for Nabby?
It like the Pirates season last when people were picking anyone but McCutchen. Some people just have no idea how to judge value.
.......shit.
It's better off this way. The way they've folded under pressure the first round would have been embarrassing.
I may shed a tear when my Lando jersey finally gets in though.

Though I guess the bonus to wearing a cage was no need to wear a mouthguard making talking a hell of a lot easier.
There is, like, a 1% obstruction to your face.

Cheering for Crosby lying on the ice after taking a puck to the face.
Stay classy.
Even off his face he made a perfect pass to Dupuis

He is a good d man. Not for 5mil on this team.
He's got potential, certainly not 5mil worth though. I just wish he'd play up to it.
