GAMEDAY 3 - COYOTES
7:30PM
Mellon Arena
It would be pretty easy for the Pittsburgh Penguins to overlook tonight's game.
The Coyotes are a Western Conference team that may not even exist after this season.
The Pens are playing in Philadelphia tomorrow and it's tempting to focus on that game and let tonight's contest slip away.
But two points are two points, no matter where they come from.
The Coyotes website is hyping this game as "A BATTLE OF THE UNBEATENS" even though both teams have played a combined total of three games.
We're calling it "The Battle of Teams Jim Balsille Couldn't Buy."
Throw in the Predators somehow and it becomes RIM Jim's worst nightmare come alive.

CALL TO ARMS
Effective immediately, when you send in a photoshop, put "PHOTOSHOP" into the subject line.
This isn't just for our own organizational purposes. There is a greater goal we're trying to achieve here and we need everyone's help.
Plus, if you send in an anthem pic, if you have the capacity, put "anthem" in the subject line.
Some of you may have been a part of the testing we had for this thing earlier on Wednesday, so you know what's up.
But we'll unleash this little beast in the recap of the game on Thursday morning.

PENS UNIVERSE wants your Mellon Arena stories.
At least go there to see their header picture. Unreal.
Pens ain't wearing their Powders tonight.
They'll wear them for the first time this year on October 17th.
Pens won the Cup.
We really don't care about a uniform curse anymore.
But to each his/her own.

Via Bar Stool Sports comes this:
A couple boobs rubbed against each other at a Bruins game recently.
After the jump are some NSFW/SFW pics.
Behind The Photoshop: Thick Andy
We've been meaning to clear something up for the longest time.
When we say "photoshop," that doesn't mean you need the actual Photoshop program.
Hell, we don't even use it. We use FIREWORKS and/or a free download called GIMP.
You can find clips on how to use it on YouTube.
It is so strange that we've never mentioned that.
Anyway, from the man that brought you this:
Here is his entire photoshop collection.
Jump.
Feeling Blue?
As we mentioned earlier, the blue third jersey will make its season debut tomorrow night against Phoenix.
While very popular, some consider the blue jerseys to be bad luck?
Are they?
Last season the Penguins wore them 11 times during the regular season.
Their record in those games was 3-5-2
Saturday, Nov. 15 vs. Buffalo - 5-2 win
Tuesday, Nov. 18 vs. Minnesota - 2-1 shootout loss
Saturday, Dec. 20 vs. Toronto - 7-3 loss
Saturday, Dec. 27 vs. Montreal - 3-2 loss
Saturday, Jan. 3 vs. Florida - 6-1 loss
Sunday, Jan. 18 vs. NY Rangers - 3-0 win
Sunday, Feb. 8 vs. Detroit - 3-0 loss
Wednesday, Feb. 25 vs. NY Islanders - 1-0 win
Saturday, March 14 vs. Ottawa - 4-3 shootout loss
Sunday, March 22 vs. Philadelphia - 3-1 loss
Wednesday, April 1 vs. New Jersey - 6-1 win
Curse or not?
3-5-2 isn't that bad. Maybe it's the quality of the losses that stick in people's minds.
A 6-1 loss to Florida and a 7-3 loss to the Leafs certainly don't look too good and that 3-0 loss to Detroit stung pretty bad at the time.
Double J Gets A Play, Isles Fan Douche GIF
Via [LGP]
Apparently there is a fictional biography based on the life of Double J.
Pretty sure Jagr makes that pose before he rails chicks.
After the jump, that idiot Islanders fans gets GIF'd.
Crosby On The Hands Team
At least according to Ron Jaworski.
Basically, Green Bay has a kicker named Mason Crosby...
and the Vikings have a wide receiver named Sidney Rice.
The rest is magic:

Happy Birthday Mario
First off, on the FSN/DirecTV front, we received this email from Jason M. today:
"I got a call from Jim H. from FSN Pittsburgh this morning and they said the Pens' pre- and post-game shows were blacked out by error and that they have no intentions on doing so going forward. It should be fixed by Wednesday."
Second, Happy Birthday Sir Buries It.
More after the jump.
Business
Is it too early in the season for a game to be a trap game?
The Pens play Phoenix on Wednesday at home.
Then go to the House That Crosby Destroyed on Thursday.
Whatev. There's nothing else to talk about.
Some cool stuff after the jump.
