Posting this a little early as I'm trying to play some stick and puck at the rink in the morning and may not be here to post it..

I'd love to say I'm looking forward to this game. But every day feels like Groundhog Day in the NHL this year. So with that said, I figured I'd pick a little bit on Sully and some of our elder statesmen here on the board.
We're all mourning the loss of half of our top 6. Not Mike. He's never been more excited to coach the Pens. It's the GCR, ZAR, and Jank show! Yeah, baby! I wonder if ZAR makes the coffee in a Keurig or he's got a French Press. What Would Adams Do? So, Sully, just wanted you to know...
ZAR actually played ok last game! I mean, I didn't see it but some people said he played ok. So that makes three good games in the last 4 weeks. That's two more than Jank! We're trending up. But Sully, let ZAR make coffee and kiss up to you during team meetings, but when it comes to the big games...
How good was GCR last game?? Got to give Sid the credit @DocEmrickSkitters never gives him, he led the way. Still, it's not GMR, is it? I guess at the end of the day, this is how I feel about GCR, knowing G is never gonna get Rusty back..
Speaking of Doc, I live for the post-game sniping about Crosby being an average center now, especially compared to God in human form (he wears #97). Also Kuznetsov, apparently. Luckily, we have @Gurglesons to level the playing field and bring (in)sanity to the discussion. I can't help but make the connection...
Anyway, enjoy the game and let's go Pens! We'll end this with a little Homelandian H/T to @ColePens, I know he'll know this song...
I awake to find, no peace of mind
I said, how do you live as a fugitive?
Down here, where I cannot see so clear
I said what do I know?
Show me the right way to go
And the spies came out of the water
But you're feelin' so bad 'cos you know
And the spies hide out in every corner
But you can't touch them, no
'Cos they're all spies, they're all spies
I awake to see, that no one is free
We're all fugitives, look at the way we live
Down here, I cannot sleep from fear, no
I said, which way do I turn?
Oh, I forget everything I learn....
