Good GDT CP. LETS GO PENS!

 

[Andy99]

Just don’t blame me if they lose...I’m heading to the game and I’m 1-5 when I watch the Pens live in SJ....but the one win was a good one—SCF game—so I’m hoping it trumps my long losing RS streak at the Shark Tank...

 

[ColePens]

Enjoy it, Andy! I have a miserable record this year as well. Turn it around!

So clearly you're due...go Pens!!!

 

[Clare2904]

I may be back in Canada but my body clock is somewhere over the Atlantic, so, I'm going to bed If I happen to wake up in a few hours I will put the game on the radio via my phone, and promptly pass out again

This one starts 11pm locally for me in NS and I work tomorrow morning so I won't be able to watch all of this one. I should last a period before needing to crash.

Go Pens Go! SAP Center brings back good memories and old glories.

I'm almost ready to ease into that warm bed and blanket with a good show or movie and just fade into slumber.
I have made burgers with .. on the ready... RELISH, bacon, cheese, jalapenos, lettuce, a1, fixings galore and once I eat one or two of them after several beers, the night is finished. I don't know how much longer I can hold on.

 

[Ogrezilla]

got my nap in after work. Let's go Pens.

Did you have a crackbull afterwards to wake back up?

 

[LOGiK]

Isles - tie so far.
CBJacks - 2 pt win.
Caps - LOSS.
MTL - 2 pt win.

Penguins need a a win tonight badly.

 

[Ogrezilla]

nah I don't really do much caffeine.

 

[LOGiK]

nah I don't really do much caffeine.

Good man. Caffeine is a an addicting drug. I know I don't need it. I know I can survive without it. But that one or two tired days waking up in a row dooms me to getting a habit out of that morning pick me up. It's awful really .

My thing is that it doesn't really make me feel awake, it just makes me have trouble falling asleep. I still feel just as tired, but I am jittery if I have too much before trying to sleep. I drink some pop, but I don't touch coffee or energy drinks.

Coffee keeps me from falling asleep, with hydration - else I get a headache and feel worse. Coffee + sugar = crack jitters. Energy drinks pure crap - they fill half of that bottle with sugar.

Same with sleep. I can't do it with a modicum of sugar/caffeine, my brain spins like a hamster wheel.

 

[DegenX]

Excellent GDT @ColePens A Vitale Valentine ... wow, that's a nugget from the past.

 

[Sorry]

3-2 Pens.

 

[Bingo71]

Do I start drinking now or should I have started hours ago?

 

[LOGiK]

Do I start drinking now or should I have started hours ago?

I still got it going on... but... it's fading. 10-12 is like come down time with food and comfort. Not hockey filled adrenaline.
I'll try though.

 

[cheesedanish87]

Aren't we about due for an OT game?

Its been a while since we have played in OT.

“My advice to you is to start drinking heavily”— Bluto

Let’s go Pens! Very loud here already...

 

[mpp9]

That San Jose lineup is nasty. If Thornton wasn't 100 years old, they'd be my pick to win it this season.
