For Christmas this year Shero Claus gave...


Crosby.... A Winger!
"I saw that your old winger was busted up so I decided to make your old Dupuis new again!"
"Gee, thanks Shero Claus...."


Neal.... Shampoo
"I how you feel about your hair so I figured you'd appreciate some nice shampoo."
"Gee, thanks Shero Claus...."


Glass.... A Guaranteed Roster Spot
"You've been a good little grinder this year so I figured you deserved to have a permanent position"
"Gee thanks Shero Claus!"


Adams.... A New Pair of Skates
"I figure since you get so much wear out of them game in and game out, you could use some new skates"
"Gee thanks Shero Claus!"


Bortuzzo.... A Nice New Recliner
"You look a little uncomfortable at times there in the box, so I decided to make your experience more comfortable."
"Gee, thanks Shero Claus...."


Jokinen.... Malkin's Locker (temporarily)
"Maybe some of Malkin's sweat will transfer his talent to you!"
"Gee thanks Shero Claus?

Sutter.... Crosby and Malkin's hand me down clothes
"You've been such a trooper as the third line center that Crosby and Malkin have decided to give you some of their cool clothes!"
"Gee, thanks Shero Claus...."


Vitale.... Limited Membership in the "Sids 4th Line Winger of the Month" Club (courtesy of madinsomniac)
"We had a few extra coupons lying around so we figured you might like one."
"Gee, thanks Shero Claus?"


Chris Conner.... Another Week in the NHL (courtesy of madinsomniac)
"Just for the holidays, we decided to keep the you-must-be-this-tall-sign down for a little while longer"
"Gee, thanks Shero Claus!"


Orpik.... A can of Mace (courtesy of madinsomniac)
"In the back alley rinks of the NHL, better to be safe than sorry!"
"Gee, thanks Shero Claus."

Penguin's fans get a box of tissue for thinking about Adams, sill, Glass, Orpik, and Engelland being on the ice at the same time together for an extended shift...

I'd think with Orpik just coming back from injury the Maatta-Niskanen pairing will take the lion's share of the icetime tonight. But I guess we'll see.

Just please no more injuries.

So our two defensemen who have been playing the best hockey of their careers get pushed to the second pairing for fresh out of the hospital Orpik and maybe our 8th best defenseman in Engo? I don't get it

Oh it gets better. Orpik's had a pretty bad case of the flu as well:

Orpik was quite ill during Christmas with the flu but is good to go tonight. Glass also definitely is playing.

You know i'm Joey V's biggest fan, next to that sweet little girl who always has the sign, but this is like DB's way of trying to watch him fail. He's not a L1 winger. Come on, now. :laugh:
