GDT: #45 | Penguins vs Kings | Sat Jan12@1030PMest | FS-W, ATTSN-PT

Amen. And I sacrifice WAY more when the Aussie Open is on for tennis. I freaking love the Aussie Open (@Tom Hanks ). One of my absolute favorite tennis tourneys.

So i'll take a 10:30 great hockey any day.

Time zones line up pretty good for me for an Aussie Rules afternoon game which will be 9pm here which is perfect. Any night games for any sport throw it out of whack and I can’t sacrifice my sleep anymore unless it’s Hawthorn (Aussie Rules) in the finals which I will make an exception for.

Edit: @ColePens Ive been to the Aussie Open. It’s always a great time.

 

[Son Goku]

I don't understand the dilemma.

Pens hockey > literally everything else

When I was in the hospital I stayed up despite what doctors said so I could watch the games.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

I'm gonna be paying special attention to Muzzin and Carter tonight.

 

[EightyOne]

I'm gonna be paying special attention to Muzzin and Carter tonight.

Be sure to note if their jersey numbers will transfer over well. Wouldn't want Pens equipment manager @Dana Heinze to tell them to wear something gross like 54 here.

 

[LOGiK]

I'm gonna be paying special attention to Muzzin and Carter tonight.

Ever since he was on the mortal enemy flyers squad back in the days of the two teams looking to murder each other... I always missed Carter being on some team in the east.

So should we expect another goal for Pearson tonight, since players always score against their former teams? He now has 8 goals and 12 points in 28 games, which is about a 25 goal, 35 points pace. Considering he had a long stretch of dry play while injured and playing with a slumping Malkin and Brassard, I'm excited to see what he can do with a full season here.

JR has made some masterful trades in the last couple of months. The Hagelin-Pearson and Sprong-Pettersson trades have both been incredible for the Penguins.

Kings are terrible, but the players called out their team last game for lack of effort. LA will play hard tonight .

My sympathies goes out to whomever has to play with Brassard.

His possession numbers have been a little eh. He's capable of a lot better there. But he has added some much needed secondary scoring. I'm glad to have him.

 

[TNT87]

I've accepted that Hagelin will score tonight.

 

[LOGiK]

I've accepted that Hagelin will score tonight.

Seems par. 8gp 0g 2a +2, why not his first goal as a King against the Penguins.

Amen amen amen. I started playing with my gf when I was 16. Just picked it up casually and then I became pretty good at it. I never knew how hard it was on the body. I played hockey since I was 4 years old and I fully believe tennis is harder on the body than hockey. That is why Andy Murray just retired. That is why 30 year olds look like 50 year olds on the court (except Fed).

In the summers i worked all the way up to a tourney player 5.0-5.5 NTRP. I am 33 now and love it. The shape you have to be in to play competitive is ridiculous.

I love it too...I've been playing since I was a kid...it's hard on the knees and hips though...my father was a semi-professional player and played as a qualifier in the French Open and he had two hip replacements because of tennis...as a result I stopped playing as I got middle-aged but I love it...I will stay up to the early morning hours Pacific Time to watch the grand slams....I've attended every grand slam in person with the exception of the Australian Open because it's tough to get a reasonable flight to Melbourne in January...

 

[Ugene Magic]

Keep'em coming Eightyone!

We may get kicked in the head, but they always manage to persevere.

 

[Andy99]

LA does not want to be outshined by Anaheim...if the Ducks lost by 4 to us then they have to lose by 5 or 6 tonight...it’s a race to the bottom of the Pacific and better odds in the Hughes sweepstakes...come on LA!

It would be nice if a team would just lay down for the Pens now and then and save the abuse they take almost on a nightly basis.

In the Frenchiest voice....
LA.....

 

[Andy99]

I love how LA is heavily promoting this Snoop Dogg DJ night at the warm up skate...and no where do they state that he’s a Pens fan...lol...

 

[fragmag]

Only about 5 short hours until they drop the puck!

 

[DegenX]

Best one yet @EightyOne!

 

[Shrimper]

Another game I'll miss.

Guessing DeSmith gets the nod tonight. Hope Sid can get a big points night like Malkin had last night, deserves one.

 

[Gurglesons]

I don’t think Muzzin is a relastic add for us. Dude is going to cost a shitttt ton.

Snoop's a lover, he loves everybody ... well, ok, not everybody, but almost everybody

Except for that dude his homie shot and killed I guess.

Oh....Maybe he’s fickle or just a promoter, but I’ve seen videos of him in Pens’ jerseys cheering them on during the POs...

Ha, ain't that the truth.

You supply the Gin and Juice plus a little weed, and he's friends for life.
