GDT: Is Today The Day ? - @ New Jersey 13.30EST

[Clare2904]

(17-26-5) v (29-11-8)

Side story: Todd is f***ed and out of action with a knee injury after falling during the ASB. He will be having surgery on Monday. He will still be involved behind the scenes and kept in the loop via modern technology. Dad (Matt Cullen) will now be more involved in the interim.

Geno is a Game Time Decision

Jake is still a beast (7G, 2A in the last 5 games)

Rust is still trying to earn the $$$$ (6 goals in the last 5 games)

Sully loves Ruh, he is a "stabilising force back there"

But

the most important news and focus for the game will be...

WILL SID FINALLY GET GOAL NUMBER 14* OF THE SEASON?

For the love of all that is Holy, take a moment everyone please and send one up to Allah, Buddha, Yahweh, Jesus or whoever you are mates with up there.

Sidney Patrick Crosby ONS, we all love you so please score another f***ing goal.

​

* In case you have been under a rock recently, the next goal will be his 500th regular season career goal too

I voted yes, but who the f**k knows….just win Pens!

 

[66-30-33]

I voted no because the game is tomorrow.

Who the heck is Todd?

 

[wgknestrick]

Who the heck is Todd?

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

Through ingenious sleuthing, I have determined that Todd is in fact Todd Reirden and in fact, sans the smirk, this is a close enough approximation

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

I bet Sid goes on a bit of a mini-slump goal scoring-wise until finally hitting 500.

He seemed to do something similar when he was closing in on 1000 points.

 

[Andy99]

People, NJD is getting sub . 900 save % from its goalies…if Sid can’t score here, he deserves to give the other 499 goals back…

"The Devil's down in Jersey"


The Devil was in Jersey, he was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind
And he was willin' to make a deal
When he came across this young man sawin' on a hockey stick and heatin' it hot
And the Devil jumped up
And said, "boy, let me tell you what"
"I guess you didn't know it but I'm a hockey player's player too
And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you
Now you play a pretty good hockey, boy
But give the Devil his due
I'll bet a Hockey Stick of Gold against your soul
'Cause I think I'm better than you"
This kid Crosby said, "my name's Sidney and it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet, you're gonna regret
'Cause I'm the better hockey player, just ask that guy Lemieux"
Sidney, wax up your stick and play your stick hard
'Cause Hell's broke loose in Jersey, and the devil deals the cards
And if you win, you get this shiny stick made of Gold
But if you lose, the devil gets your soul
The Devil opened up his case and he said, "I'll start this show"
And fire flew from his fingertips as he waxed up his stick blade bow
And he pulled the stick back
And it made a evil hiss
Then a band of Penguins joined in
And it sounded something like this
Jarry! Jarry! Jarry!Jarry! Jarry! Jarry!
When the devil finished, Sidney said, "well, you're pretty awful, ol' son
But sit down on the bench right there
And let me show you how it's done"
"Fire in the Golden son" run boys, run
The Devil's in the House of the Rising Gun
Penguins players in a bread pan pickin' out dough
Devil, does your goalie bite? No, kid, noooooooooooooo.....!
The Devil bowed his head because he knew that his goalie been beat
And he laid that Golden Stick on the ground at Sidney's feet
Crosby said, "Devil, just come on back if you ever wanna try again
I done told you once you son of a bitch, I'm the better hockey player than you'd ever been"
He planted " 500" boys, it's been fun
The Devil's in the House of the Rising Gun
The Penguins in a bread pan pickin' out dough
Devil, will your goalie bite? Get out of here, kid. Go, just go!

Let's Go Sid!!!

I remember thinking the same thing. That Sid would probably get hung up on 499 then score five in his next three games

 

[Ms Maggie]

Really prefer Tuesday at home v Flyers.

I will be there and yes it IS all about me!!

You just know the Pens are going to be shut out when they're up against shit goaltending.

Now if prime Brodeur was in nets, I'd predict a hattrick for Sid and the Pens put up 6.

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Carolina opening the door a little bit. Dropped 3 of 4.
I think this is the smallest gap we've had with them in P% since October.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Today is not the day, cause I wont be able to watch this game. Lovely 78 hour work week.

 

[Crosbyfan]

So an old Penguins fan dies and goes to heaven and after getting past the Pearly Gates he wants to go play hockey so he goes to the rink where Saint Peter has directed him. He looks out on the ice where there are a number of players playing shinny and notices a wonderful player with unbelievable skill wearing a Penguins sweater with #66 on it. The player is doing all kinds of incredible tricks with the puck and no one on the ice can touch him.
The old Penguins fan gets all teared and choked up and asks the guy beside him "D...d...did Mario Lemieux die too?"
The guy replied "No, that's Jesus...he does this all the time...he just thinks he's Mario Lemieux"

Any update as to whether or not big Z really is sitting today behind the turds?

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Malkin banks a wrist shot in off of Crosby's gigantic ass for #500. You heard it here first.

 

[Andy99]

it’s bone dry here in California in the midst of our rainy season and it’s been around 70 F the last few days and today is our last unusually warm day before the normal temps return, so you better believe I’ll be missing at least half of this game … sorry Sid….probably will be a doing a good turn for him anyway…their record isn’t great when I’m watching lol

 

[Devilsfan992]

Is DeSmith starting today?

Where in CA do you live? My wife is itching to move back there. As a yinzer, the idea intrigues me more and more every year. She is from Malibu - very different than Pittsburgh to say the least.

im in SF…if you want warmer weather usually, go to Southern CA…it’s going to be like 84 F for the Super Bowl today …and don’t move into heavily wooded suburban areas unless you have great fire insurance lol

 

[jcbeze]

Jarry or DeSmith when will we know?

Read this as Malkin breaks a wrist and just sorta nodded like "Yep, sounds about right."
