[Zirakzigil]

It's almost here!!!

 

[PSUPEN]

Absolutely terrific work!

 

[Common Sense]

Great work as usual Big.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Anyone find any mistakes I missed? I don't think I've ever done a GDT in such a short amount of time.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Rossi claimed that you were out with a concussion Big. But we all knew that you would show with the GDT.

 

[Contender]

Great GDT! I haven't been this hyped for the playoffs in a few years.

 

[sf expat71]

Oh man, good to see a Big McLarGDT again! I'm so ready. Is MAF ready to go like the lineup suggests?

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Oh man, good to see a Big McLarGDT again! I'm so ready. Is MAF ready to go like the lineup suggests?

Radio silence as far as I can tell.

 

[End of Line]

Lets Go Pens! Let's Go Pens!

The belief on this team is ****ing back!

 

[sf expat71]

Radio silence as far as I can tell.

As long as "prolonged fart sound' laugh gets over 12 minutes, we'll be fine even with Zatkoff in net. Also, Girardi and Staal on Sid duty I hear, so I expect serious stick work tonight... Although Girardi playing big minutes (no choice w/out McDonagh I guess) bodes well for us as well.

 

[SaskCanesFan]

#hfPens bandwagoner reporting for duty. *insert obligatory go Pens comment here*

In all seriousness, pumped for the playoffs to start. Can't wait for puck drop.

 

[Hockeygod66]

Rangers 5
Penguins 2

Zatkoff in net by the third. Kunitz with a late goal to keep him on the PP and first line.

 

[brewski420]

Great GDT!!! GO Pens.

 

[TorstenFrings]

Great work! Loving the Lundqvist pic choice.

Go team!

 

[JakeNBake59]

lets go Pens!!!!

 

[Ogrezilla]

woah, Sunny D!!

 

[OnMyOwn]

Watching in the room and my God is Murray skinny. What is he 6'3" 150?

 

[Fordy]

playing sestito is just so dumb. rather call up a kid at random. play sprong!

 

[TorstenFrings]

P.S.: I had to google the ONS after the captain's name, because I thought it was some hip hockey lingo I wasn't privy to (and obviously as a girl could not admit to not being privy too) and it doesn't mean one night stand after all, js.

 

[ColePens]

Big.. you are a hero today. Seriously.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Super homer comment: We are gonna wipe the floor with those punks

More realistically, I.just hope for a fun ride, we are due.

 

[sf expat71]

Let's do this for Cullen! Seriously love that guy. Oh man, so pumped!

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

Beauty GDT!

 

[Mordax]

That actually makes me kinda tear up. I think I have problems

Go Pens?
