GDT: The Let's Try To Stay Awake Again Edition - Penguins @ The LA Kings - 22:00 EST

[Clare2904]

Now, you may all regret letting me do this GDT. I need to indulge in one of my favourite hobbies before getting down to the business of creating the thread. That hobby is, at every chance I get, drooling over Drew Doughty. Now, I can see a few of you rolling your eyes and thinking "oh here she goes" and you will be correct with that line of thought, I am going to go!!!!! I shall present Exhibits A, B, C and D below as evidence for my drooling.

Look at this hair, gorgeous

And this smile makes my heart melt

I rest my case as to why he is a dreamboat ​

Ok, hockey time ​

The Pens are coming off a 5-3 loss to the Ducks last night, their first in 5 games whilst the Kings lost their last game 4-1 against the Sharks on Monday and are on a 4 game skid. The Kings will take some comfort from the fact that they have won the last four straight meetings against the Pens even though it has taken OT or a shootout in the previous three.

Line rushes in Warm-up

Simon-Crosby-Sheary
Hagelin-Malkin-Hornqvist
Guentzel-Sheahan-Kessel
Kuhnhackl-Dea-Reaves

Dumoulin-Letang
Maatta-Schultz
Hunwick-Oleksiak​

DeSmith to make his first NHL start tonight.​

60 years ago tonight the colour barrier was broken in hockey. Not sure if there will be commemoration before the game, I know that Willie was in Boston the other night as he was on the NESN broadcast.

P.S If you don't like that above, volunteer to do a thread yourself, oh, and tough

Get rid of his current job and money and place him as the local Papa John's pizza driver, Clare is getting a restraining order filed on poor ole Drew.

No Hunwick please.

 

[Crosbyfan]

Hopefully Letang starts trying to hit shin pads...

Hopefully Letang starts trying to hit shin pads...

If he could aim a bit better and hit an unprotected area at least he’d be helping us more during the game.

f*** these west coast games. there's no way I can stay up to watch them.

 

[SirBrad]

I like the West Coast games when they're late in the week like these. I do hate that feeling of staying up late to watch a loss, even though I am normally up until 12:30-1 anyhow.

Don’t worry I’ll be at the game so it’s a guaranteed win since I’m 0 and 4 life time.

You Eastern suckers!

West Coast Best Coast!

 

[Zirakzigil]

Love these games. They are on tv here and aren’t 5:00 starts!

Hoping for a better result tonight.

I went to the game on Saturday, I thought I seen Horny, Geno, Phil line, and it looked awesome. Horny in front of the net, while Geno and Phil doing there thing.

guess that leaves other lines weak tho

 

[Tom Hanks]

Good luck DeSmith.

Hopefully they do a better job in front of him than Jarry

 

[HuskerTornado]

Back in stock after the holidays, I just ordered this amazing cocktail shaker from Wendell August. lol

Good luck charm for tonight, hopefully. Also picked up a tray made from the Civic roof.

[Pens x]

Can we please stop benching Cole in favor of Hunwick? My god.

 

[KIRK]

With Letang and Hunwick-Oleksiak manning the blueline, I'm sure it will be a quiet night for him.

ehh..this sucks...everyone is going to OT (most likely the Sabres game too). it's going to be so hard to climb out. The capitals cant seem to handle business with NJ. Is NJ even for real? i mean irealize they have schneider and Hall. I just haven't seen a single game, so wondering if they are really as advertised
