Excellent. You could have gone a little more esoteric with a Tom Waits image instead of David Lee Roth, but 99% of the people who read this are probably too young. Wait David Lee Roth is old too.

Hoping McCann's back, if for no other reason than to get ZAR off L2 and back on L3, and get Lafferty back onto L4 or the bench. I was hoping after a period or two of seeing both lines play badly, he would have at least pushed ZAR back to L3 so that its play would improve.

I've had my ass kicked by COVID for the last 2 weeks, I haven't read or watched anything pertaining to the team, so this should be interesting for me.

What youve missed:
the board are crybabies,
JR was an asshole,
Guentzel should be traded for ???,
Malkin is lazy,
the window is closed

....also....
the board is too excited,
JR was a god,
Guentzel is the best,
Malkin just needs a crowd,
the window is wide open

So....same old

There's a reason for everything I did and subtle hints along the way up to this point, Tom Wait simply isn't named, Dave. Hint, hint....
But like @EightyOne said, +1 for even bringing him up. I wasn't trying to go the drab slow pace route.

"We are buried beneath the weight of information, which is being confused with knowledge; quantity is being confused with abundance and wealth with happiness.

I don't know if any genuine, meaningful change could ever result from a song. It's kind of like throwing peanuts at a gorilla."
- Tom Waits

Quickly curated snippets. I love that man.
Belongs to the music thread, but let me have your.... top 3 T.W albums. Man, that's just impossible.

 

[Pens x]

+We are only dressing three terrible players tonight instead of four

LGP

 

[LOGiK]

Well...

Whats the betting at tonight?

Took the rags last night in regulation... not sure where to go today....

Game wise, penguins 1 gp less - 2 points behind the isles in the stats, cryers tied for points with pens but they have 2 games in hand.... (could be good / could be bad)
Pens taking this to OT is not the desirable outcome tonight.

 

[LOGiK]

Some reason my brain finds this disturbing...

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

I approve of any and all things DLR.

That old story about the brown M&Ms shows how shrewd he really is.

[LOGiK]

I shaved my beard off... I feel nekid... I keep grabbing for something no longer there... phantom beard kinda deal going on...

May the penguins fortunes change... regulation wins come in plenty...

Basically, we’re a mediocre to below average team....

the boys should be desperate for a regulation win and need to take at least three points this weekend....we’ll see who shows up tonight

hopefully McCann is back in playing like the player he was at the beginning of last season....we need that version of him back

Great GDT ... Well done!

You forgot that Teddy is our best centre! Well he kinda had been so far this season.

How has Matheson been looking?

 

[Ignatius]

How has Matheson been looking?

Offensively he is very creative and has made some interesting highlight reel worthy plays.

Defensively he is nothing spectacular, like he can bend but not break in a second pairing role. As long as he has a fairly strong, responsible parter he can definitely fit.

I could see him being a real x-factor type player in the playoffs that might do well in the midst of chaos. I have been happy with him since his return.
