Don't even know where to start. Power has been off because Luke Ravestahl is a jackass and mother nature just had her period on everyone's face. Mario should run for mayor if he can't buy the Pirates.

 

More snow coming. Someone is probably facing elimination if that happens.

 

Vomit.

 

Not a whole lot of positives this weekend. The only good thing to happen was Orpik calling Jizz a baby.

 

Speaking of Orpik, from NBC.com:

 

 

Notice the caption. Candy Man? Really? Thanks to PUCK HUFFERS for the tip.

 

Go Pens.

 

P.S. Jeff Carter almost beats out PennDot for jobber of the week:

 

Not sure what is more shocking.

The hit, or Jeff Carter actually knowing where the defensive zone is.

What a scumbag.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Definitely a tough loss, but what a hockey game.

You have to assume these two teams will once again meet in the playoffs and what a series that will be.

 

Ovechkin is as obnoxious as they come, but he delivers.

He's a dangerous player.

 

NBC definitely got what they wanted from this game.

Ovechkin had three goals and an assist.

Crosby and Staal had two each.

 

It's tough to blow a 4-1 lead but the hockey fans inside of us still enjoy an exciting game.

The Penguins fans inside of us vomited a bit when the 5th goal went in.

Fight for Old DC

 

 

Before we talk about anything else, this is from Ted Leonsis' blog on Wednesday:

We have won 11 in a row. A franchise record.

We are now first in the East. We are TEN POINTS ahead of New Jersey who is in second place.

We are first in our division, 25 points ahead of our nearest competition.

And we are now FIRST in the NHL with 82 points. Click here and see.

We are first in the NHL in goals scored. And first in a bunch of other team and individual stats.

For just today we have arrived.

We don’t have miles to go before we sleep.

We have arrived. Savor it. Enjoy it.

Please for just one day. I beg of you. No negative emails. No negative vibes.

Tomorrow all bets are off. We can worry, we can vent, and we can go back to our individual dark places. But for 24 hours I declare a no fly zone on negativity and unhappiness.

We deserve our success. We are what our record says we are. At least for one shining moment.

Ok back to work. Go Caps. I hope you are as proud as I am.

 

 

 

 

This had all the signs of a trap game.

 

The Pens are playing the Caps tomorrow at noon.

No one even knows if they'll make it to Washington.

 

On top of that, the Habs are hurting and using AHL players to fill in their lineup.

 

We all kind of expected this.

 

Or at least we should have.

Dicky does not look at all pleased in this costume.

 

 

Some roads in New Jersey are being renamed Kovalchuk Way.

Too bad they'll all be one way.

 

So, it's a done deal.

Kovalchuk is coming into the Penguins' backyard.

 

The Devils sent Johnny Oduya, Niclas Bergfors, Patrice Cormier, and a 1st-round pick to Atlanta.

All for a player they may not have in three months.

Do the Pens make a reaction move?

 

Oh man.
