GDT: Penguins @ Bruins | Outdoor Game | Winter "Classic" | Monday the 2nd @ 2 PM ET

[vodeni]

Christmas and New years (USA) on weekends screws workers and students.... shortest possible break when they fall on weekends, so today new years is 'observed'.

All I know and care about is there is sports all week (footy) for new years week... penguins bruins today - but the bigger match today being brentford hosting liverpool, which is what @Clare2904 will be at the pub to drown her liverpool sorrow's as brentford eeks out punishing victory =P

I just posetd something on our real football thread...Pens owners have potential double loser on their hand today. eerie resemblance between LFC and Pens, the way their coaches stubbornly trying to prove they are the smartest, players checked out more often than not, playing guys that obviously should not be playing...so yes buckle up, it won't be a pretty day

Math is wrong. We are 2-9!

Typical NHL marketing. Play down the hockey. Ramp up baseball history lessons.

What’s the worst blow out in winter classic history and do we top it today?

I can't decide if we're going to play better than expected because it's outdoors and the ice is always shittier and guys get caught up in the moment more or we're going to play worse than expected because of the same reasons.

Holy shit, lol.

I ain't much of a math guy, but at least I got out of basic arithmetic okay.

 

[Ugene Magic]

What could it hurt...?.

I feel like I've been talking a lot of shit 'bout Epcot Center Boston, so have some legit good Bahstahn garage rock/maximum r'n'b.

Blood For Blood were from Boston so there’s that…

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Adding Rust to his line should help!

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

I just wish Sullivan would get creative rather than just default to his stupid GCRust.

How about Malkin with Guentzel and Rust, with Zucker and Rakell flanking Crosby? How about Kapanen on the wing with Blueger and McGinn, with Carter on the 4th line?

Instead, it seems like as soon as the team hits a dry spell he opts for Rust next to Crosby and Kapanen to the 4th line.

Isis (the band not the terrorist organization) too, if you're an Aaron Turner fan.

Then again, the city also gave us the New Kids on the Block, so maybe we should sink it into the bay with all that tea.

You never know about the ice and vision at these games. Pens are competitive and Bruins have to deal with elements that are not good either. The bloom is off the rose here with these games so get through it without any injuries and move on.

GCR'll fix it

 

[AuroraBorealis]

Do we have a puck drop timer?

 

[Andy99]

Man does Gretzky look old…I haven’t watched TNT recently lol

 

[Gurglesons]

Do we have a puck drop timer?

After Gretzky tells stories.

 

[Andy99]

Do we have a puck drop timer?

11:20 to 11:30 I heard lol

 

[AuroraBorealis]

11:20 to 11:30 I heard lol

So come back at 11:45 just to be safe?

After Gretzky tells stories.

Grampa Gretzky, tell the one about how you demanded the GM trade Ulf after he knocked your wife out by accident and you got caught on camera laughing about it and got embarrassed.

I also hope he tells the one about how his gamblin' ass wife wore a wire to Rick Tocchet's Sports Betting Bonanza.

 

[Clare2904]

RIP to Monsieur Claude Fouquet

[Andy99]

No Poehling lol…but thank god Ruh is back to save us

 

[jmelm]

If DOC isn’t playing, I’m not watching. We need him to get reps so he can step in and take a spot from Heinen or Cartsy when they’re doing nothing.

 

[Gurglesons]

Jesus Christ. I wonder if Poehling is hurt still tho.



Idiots.
