At the Rangers game on 10-29 the NY fan sitting next to us was woofing about how Ovi is a one-trick pony and will never break Gretzky’s record. Then Ovi potted two and we suggested he might break the record in that very game. My hope for tonight is that if we have Pens fans sitting next to us (likely, since our STH neighbors seem to sell most games), then please Ovi treat them to more of the same.

I read an article recently saying that attendance is WAY down for the Pens the past couple years.

I have strong family connections to that city, so I’m not gonna shit on those people. But, man, it seems like if they aren’t SC contenders (with 2, or even 4 of the best players ever) they don’t care. So, what’s the point of this Sid/Malkin retirement tour?

I just hope this doesn’t lead to Gary “saving” the franchise again with a bunch of #1 picks.

Lemieux saw that coming and sold the team at peak franchise value.

I don’t know if they would get saved the same way again, this ownership group has money. So glad they missed both Bedard and Celebrini.

They deserted the Pens when they started losing after Lemieux came back from cancer, despite him winning them two cups, and now they’re abandoning the team again in the twilight of Crosby’s career even though he won them three. One of the most undeserving fan bases in sports.

I wouldn’t make jokes about the Penguins attendance, because we know there’ll be a lot of Penguins fans at our arena tonight, there always are

I watched some of the Pens game last night. And I think their offense is actually decent. They have a hard time finishing though. Defensively they're a mess.

Live thread is live.

What are we drinking on this fine Friday evening? I have a six pack of Zombie Dust calling my name, plus a rare bottle from Angel’s Envy my wife picked up when she was in Kentucky waiting on deck.

Caps 4-1. Ovi, PLD, Raddyish, Roy. Eller for Pittsburgh.
I love zombie dust but only if it’s within 14 days of canning. Amazing beer but just an odd unique short shelf life.

Friday nights:
4 cutwater vodka mules
6 laguinitas all day beers

Sat:
4 old fashioneds … 1 cup four roses, aromatic and orange bitters, expensive ass cherries w syrup and orange peels that I butane heat to release the oils

Sunday no football = sober ready for to rock at work Monday morning

Sunday football? = f*** me … don’t even know. Missed work after the panthers game and late for a few others

———/

Every weekend.
Occassionally I grab a zombie dust or other half or Maine lunch etc but I try and limit high abv beer now
