Is it a good thing or a bad thing that I don't recognize any of the official's names?

Figures.

Sewickley's Furman South had an unusual road to becoming an NHL referee


Having grown up in Western Pennsylvania watching the great Penguins teams of the 1990s, South’s journey to the NHL isn’t all that different from the handful of players who have reached that level, even if he wears a different uniform.

Watching Mario Lemieux and company dazzle with the Penguins’ first two Stanley Cup teams, South was inspired to take up the sport. His father, also named Furman, took him and his brother, Colin, to Mt. Lebanon Rec Center for skating lessons. That was followed by games at Airport Ice Arena in Moon and Island Sports Center on Neville Island.

South ended up playing for the Pittsburgh Hornets program, the same organization that has produced NHL stars such as John Gibson and Vincent Trocheck. After starring for Quaker Valley, South was scouted to play junior hockey with the Bay State Breakers, a Boston-area team in the now-defunct Eastern Junior Hockey League.

Well. I do not know what to expect.

Please win. No injuries. No COVID

Hey Steve, I hope the B's win tonight . They could use some help from above.

HERE WE GO BRUINS...HERE WE GO

ps, for anyone who complains about no one going after cooke for the hit on Savvy (that is in the GDT) watch the video. NO ONE on the ice saw the play except for Ryder who did go after cooke . In fact Looch did go after cooke as well even though he did not see the play. They do not replay those hits at the games. Looch and Savvy seemed like pals from where I sat and I know Looch shared my dislike of cooke. Wides also seemed to be a pal of Marc.

Bergie came off the bench and was so pissed off..

and Jack thought it was Satan that was hit.

[VanIsle]

Please win, I smell a Pasta hat trick tonight and it's going to happen.

I would be OK with that

 

[TSBruins13]

Predicting a Bruins dominant performance tonight to add to this Jekyll & Hyde type season. 5-2 Bruins. Marchand 2, Ritchie 1, Charlie 1, Freddy 1.

 

[The National]

Are the kids in?

 

[GahdenRinkRat]

This back-to-back diet of the Pens at their stupidly-named arena is making me queasy and uneasy . I’ve abandoned pregame predictions. Shoot the puck and don’t overpass.
Here we go here we go

 

[Mantis]

Are the kids in?

Nope. Kuhlman and Kampfer lol

 

[Ladyfan]

Nope. Kuhlman and Kampfer lol

Like I said in the pre-game thread I have no problem with Steve Kanpfer. He will never be the top guy but he doesn't hurt the team.

I trust him over others
