[Ugene Magic]

I'm too big to fit in here.

Who's going?

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

Time for a good old Hank meltdown.

 

[DegenX]

I'm guessing the title is a Limp Bizkit reference, but this is the first thing that came to mind ...


Anyhoo, good stuff Cole. Thanks for helping out

I bet Sheary has a game.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Ugh...now I feel dirty posting Limp Bizkit gifs.

 

[ColePens]

About once a year I listen to Limp Bizkit - Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water album. It's... a must listen to at least once every now and again to remind you of the times.

That's a Microsoft Surface...sooo Sid ain't buying that shit.

 

[imouttahereEdWinger]

What was up with Mears praising Rowney on the PK so much? Guy hasn't been around much and during the stretch where they've been most effective he hasn't even played.

That's a Microsoft Surface...sooo Sid ain't buying that ****.

Better?

 

[DegenX]

That's a Microsoft Surface...sooo Sid ain't buying that ****.

I'd take a Surface over an Apple product any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

For me as well. I agree. I like the Surface a lot.

 

[DegenX]

For me as well. I agree. I like the Surface a lot.

I would love to have one, but it's just too expensive for me. Plus, I already have an old Galaxy tab that's still kicking and an HP Spectre (the name, I know ) that I really like so I have zero justification for getting one. But I still want one.

[Tom Hanks]

Phil’s reaction when he realises it’s not food.

 

[Malkinstheman]

Kessel is only 1 point away from 700. Hoping hes able to get it tonight.

 

[Andy99]

We need this game badly. We should have it with that Rangers lineup, but the Steelers could have said the same too....

 

[ColePens]

Every time a top defender is potentially out, Sid goes out there and doesn't register a shot. This time... he has his ipad and purple tape. Hopefully it's different.

There's a rollse coaster in Disney.. not sure which park. But you put on headphones and get to choose from a list of songs. I chose 'rollin' every time.
