Where's the option for SW shows being better than the new trilogy? Clone Wars in particular...
Hell, Rogue One was solid too.

As a 1/16th Italian, I feel it's my obligation to point out that the Roman numeral for 8 is VIII, not IIX.

Anyways just ribbin ya. Great GDT as always.
Leaves grow in spring, but it's still the winter. Don't like their chances.

Everyone always wants their option in the polls. Whine whine whine

Thats the far more common way to write it, it was carved both ways. IIX was easier to write than VIII. I think it also makes far more sense to go XIIX than XVIII for 18, looks cooler too. I also like screwing with yall in slight ways I can get away with so

I only watched the first three Star Wars films when they came out in theatres from 1977-83 (yes, I was alive)…I was a kid and loved them…have had zero interest in the reboots…

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Jar Jar Binks is the best character in the StarWars Universe don't @ me.

Going to be an exciting game with both Offenses flying. They have similar problems with weak D clearing the crease but have the forwards that can score at will.

Young guns versus the Old Overhill Vets.

Same and no interest in it today and don't care about super hero movies either.

I’m not sure I agree with the take on the game.

Toronto is playing very conservative defensively.

I'm not saying there D doesn't play defense. I'm just saying they don't have that punishing presence around the net.

Nope.

As I said they have similar problems in there backend. See below.

Should i replace Weak D with Weak Crease clearers?

I felt Weak D clearing the crease covered it. Maybe I could have made my point clearer as 2 posters were confused.

Schedule is about to get real next 15 games will really show us where we are at. Unfortunately Blugs will still be out and to a lesser extent Zucker as well.

 

[Pens x]

I don’t watch Star Wars.

Go Pens

 

[Andy99]

I’ll be driving to Tahoe and will miss the game. Let’s hope the boys get back to some good structure tonight. Looks like Jarry is starting…

 

[3ladesof5teel]

Gonna be a tough game, hate playing in Canadia with no fans.

9000 tonight.

 

[3ladesof5teel]

9000 tonight.

Exciting times

 

[RSPens]

9000 tonight.

Wow...that's like double what Arizona got pre-pandemic and about double what they are going to have seats for for the next 3 years. However the difference is that the ticket price in Toronto is like $9000, whereas in Arizona it's like $10 and that includes a beer and hot dog.

 

[Shockmaster]

Well JarJar is at least better than Rose Tico.

 

[Ugene Magic]

If you voted Star Wars sucks or episode 8 is the best you should be blocked from writing on the Pens board
