Great GDT, Mr. Ugene.
Here's hoping our trend continues at home. No disrespect to the Canucks and their fans, but all of the disrespect to their owner...that's a franchise that needs to fail
miserably if it is ever going to have hope again. Few things get me to feel for fans like a shitty owner...the Pirates fan in me would be giddy for an owner willing to spend competitively like the Canucks do, but I'm pretty sure everyone here would have been able to steer a franchise to more success than that wage thief has in the ~15-20 years he's been there. He's more like if the Pirates/Nutting decided to just pay everyone 4x more than they currently are and then being baffled as to why the results aren't 4x better. So many mediocre to bad players getting paid like vital pieces...for years and years and years.
So...hey, if Sid wants to show up for a game this would be a good one to start with.
Most of our goalies are too young to know that Penguin. Even with the re-runs.
Darn I feel old now.
I was a wee lad when Wregget's mask made me want to be a goalie so I could wear a cool mask and the original Batman series was only known to me from Simpsons references...any goalie coming up now is as far removed from the DeVito Penguin as I would have been from the Meredith Penguin as a ~9 year-old. Time is a hideous bitch-goddess.
Okay, some early morning math.
Burgess Meredith played the Penguin from 1966-68.
Danny DeVito played the Penguin in 1992.
Kenny Wregget started wearing that Penguin mask in the mid-90s...I want to say 95 or 96. Let's say 96 for easier math. That's 30 years between Meredith's first portrayal and Wregget's DeVito mask. 30 years after DeVito played the Penguin would be 2022...now we all know what Filip Lindberg's mask needs to be. Sorry Filip, you don't get a say in this matter.
