I love it when people let social media ruin their lives. Such a fascinating phenomena.

Huh? I don't even have a Twitter account. The VGK guy is a well known ding dong. He's trying to do the Wendy's style burn Tweets. Except not funny.
Pierre LeBrun even told him to calm down a few days ago.

The worst subset of Pittsburgh fans I have ever seen in 40 years of watching sports (I am sure there are others I am forgetting).
1. The Pens fans that HATE, absolutely hate, Matt Murray.
2. The Steeler's fan that used to boo Jerome Bettis for scoring touchdowns. That's right, for scoring touchdowns. Duce Staley would drive them down the field, and Bettis used in a short yard situation would be subbed in and get the TD. And the fans would BOO. Genius.
3. The Pirates "wooooo-ers" fans.
Yeah, don't get the Murray haters. Dude's the best goalie the franchise has had, and if he isn't chronically injured, he'll be a solid fixture for years.
How about the group that threw dangerous objects at Dave Parker because he had the nerve to not be Clemente, to be outspoken, and to get paid for what he was worth.
I still don't understand how people can boo at a hockey game when Jagr (or now Ho Sang) touches the puck. I'm way too focused on the action to take the time to think about booing. It's like they do nothing but wait to boo.

Lol. Yeah. But. I do boo if a player is doing jerk things on the ice. Booing free agents who leave is crazy.
People don't tend to stay in the same private businesses for 20+ years these days. I mean damn...I've worked for many different places. Why expect Joe Player to sell themselves short just for the chance to represent your overweight blue collar ass city? Lol.

How has Simon looked? I missed the Colorado game and didn't pay all that much attention on Saturday.

Like a guy new to the NHL, but with flashes of brilliance.
Probably a top six winger. I'm thinking he won't be a great defensive dude, so don't think a traditional bottom six role will work. Could be a third liner on a contemporary Pens team at worst.

Intriguing overall, but it's still early. Call ups tend to look good to start with adrenaline rushes and excitement. Some tail off once the grind of the league happens and other teams learn their tendencies. I want to see more, but I think it's too soon to say he will be a top 9 NHL'er.

He is adding some much needed creativity. I think at this point we need Hags on the fourth line and having a player more in Sheary’s mold than Kuhn’s gives us a better line-up.
Honestly, in moments the last two games the Pens have looked really, really good.
The issue is they are fleeting moments.

The local media is going overkill with MAF stories and tweets.
MAF said hi to Yohe and Mackey.
MAF talked to Staal after the game.
MAF is such a great guy.
I mean enough is enough already, we get it, hes a nice guy.

obviously i'm annoyed by anything about fleury most of the time even when he was on the team but like at this point leave the f***ing guy alone
they're all obsessed with him just because he was nice to them. they're like abused children clinging onto this guy

Man, do they inject PGH beat reporters with some sort of drug that makes them form creepy stalker-attachments?
It's like some high school drama were all the nerds gathered, and this one 'cool kid' was nice to them, and then that guy becomes a legendary figure for them to worship.
And a portion of the fan base is drunk with it.
It would be funny if the miraculous matchup would happen in the Stanley Cup Finals, Vegas vs Pittsburgh.
It would be hilarious, because so many Pittsburgh fans far and wide would travel there, and their barn would be a majorly in favor of the Pens. And then back in Pittsburgh, you would have the majority of Fleury-ites in attendance, that the crowd would be so pro Vegas, hahaha, Chants of "Fleury, Fleury" would ring down. it would be insane. It would take home ice advantage and flip it on it's head.
