GDT: #47|Undersea Palace|Pittsburgh Penguins @ Calgary Flames|1.11.14|22:07 EST

[Big McLargehuge]

Going to start off with saying that I had a really fun GDT that was about 50% completed, but back spasms and pain killers put that on hold for another time...so this'll just be a bare-bones GDT.

[IcedCapp]

bare-bones or not, great GDT as always.


ARE WE SUPPOSED TO CONTINUE OUR BICKERING HERE?

 

[madinsomniac]

So let me throw this out... We have a few guys on the bottom line that are clearly not used for anything more than defensive purposes... why exactly don't we just replace them with defensemen? we have defensemen who are faster skaters than they are and who are far better at actual defense. moreover we have defensemen who add more to the offensive side... we really ought to be on a 3 game losing streak here.. we are winning soley because of the greatness of Crosby and malkin

 

[Frederick Stanley]

Definitely not.

 

[Crafton]

if this hockey thing doesn't work out for him, Crosby should consider becoming a zookeeper.

 

[MrBrightside]

Calgary has scored 0, 0, 0, 1, 3, 0, and 0 goals in its last 7 games. If the Pens give up 4 again we will really have a problem.

 

[madinsomniac]

A problem that is solved by trading several vets and reverting to a less experienced more skilled roster

 

[Shrimper]

They're bound to. Crosby 3 point night please.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Yay, another late game where they'll probably play badly and Bylsma will Bylsma, or they'll briefly respond to being called out and Bylsma will still Bylsma.

 

[Lustaf]

I'm expecting similar results to last night. Hope the guys don't take the Flames lightly.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Pens better show up tonight. Ill be at the game and this will be the first time Malkin and Crosby have played in Calgary that I have been able to see live. I demand a good game!

 

[Teiran]

No wonder Calgary has the worst home record in the league; they play in 2300 AD.

 

[ColePens]

These pictures get me every time.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Apparently Big and I had the same idea. I'll be picking up where he left off for Wednesday's GDT.

 

[End of Line]

Great GDT as always Big.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Chrono Trigger GDTs for everyone!

 

[Ogrezilla]

just beat Giga Gaia. First try was my first game over in this play through. Beat him second try.

 

[Jesus Vitale]

I expect an easy and big win for the Pens. how often do they actually lose two games in a row? they like to lose a bad one, get the whole fanbase riled up, and then go back to winning. make everyone believe it was just a fluke. that ensures the maximum amount of rustled jimmies.

 

[Ugene Magic]

Keep'em coming, Bigs.


Did you pray today everyone?


LGP!

 

[Shrimper]

It is quite scary to think that if Crosby gets 3 points tonight then he'll be on 70 points before anyone else is even on 60.

 

[Jag68Sid87]

I wonder if Calgary is going to dress their two tough guys against us like they've been doing lately. Most teams sit all of their tough guys whenever they play us this season. I'm curious to see whether Westgarth and McGrattan dress tonight.

The Flames have been shut out five times out of seven games lately. They won't be in a good mood, so hopefully we'll be up for the physical challenge tonight.

Unlike Edmonton, Calgary can't hurt us offensively so we should win this one. Still, I have a funny feeling it won't be easy at all.

EDIT: This is the "Where's Iggy" Bowl, part deux

 

[SidGenoMario]

More references to the greatest video game ever made plz

 

[Randy Butternubs]

More references to the greatest video game ever made plz

If our players were characters in the game, who would be Frog? Kunitz or Fleury?

 

[Michael8771*]

I'm hoping for a little more defensive structure from our boys tonight.

 

[Michael8771*]

By the way, very nice GDT. Let's go Pens!!!!
