Andy loves the Pens just as much as any other fan.
He's just part Eeyore/Marvin The Paranoid Android. I can relate.

There can only be two outcomes tonight; Either we continue to struggle and Sid/Carter are rusty, resulting in overreaction to the loss. Or we win big, resulting in an overreaction to the win.
Hopefully Kap and Jake look a little less shitty tonight.

Zatkoff was .915 as a Penguin. It was always weird for me how the fan base roasted him to that extent, the same way they roast CDS, who is .914 as a Penguin.DeSmith is quickly going that Jeff Zatkoff route out of nowhere
I think DeSmith sucking is a blessing in disguise because it incentivizes the Penguins to get a more reliable backup option to Jarry.
It may be wise to not give up on our backup after 2 games, but just my opinion.
What part of him *isn't* Eeyore/Marvin? The nose? The right little toe (not the left, it knows it will be stubbed today)?
Although I'd point out we won a bunch of games when he wasn't watching so maybe we should be encouraging him to not do so...

Ha!
The way I choose to look at it... and how I often explain my oft-overly-critical eye... is that dude cares. Kinda like that James Baldwin quote re: his special brand of love for America.

Smart move letting everybody know Sid is playing early instead of ''waiting for tonight'' J-Lo style.

Some people choose to express their love by thinking/writing out all the terrible things that can happen and making sure the object of their love avoids them.
And...with many...ellipses...
indicating...the worst can happen.

I think Andy's pessimism stems from having too lofty of expectations for who and what this team is anymore. When you shrug and accept this is the swan song of the era, games are a lot less annoying to watch because you stop giving a shit about heatmaps, acronym-based analytics, Sully's decisions, etc., and you just watch some hockey.

I hope we all enjoy tonight's game where Sid puts up 5 points before Subban slewfoots him and sidelines him until next October.

Sid is usually pretty productive coming off of injury if memory serves. Should be a much more fun game to watch with he and Carter in the lineup.
Also water is still wet.

I'm sure someone already has a GDT planned for tonight, but this ought to be the new theme:
*puts feet up on desk, chomps cigar and waits for other people to manifest his idea*

The fact that Colorado doesn't play this every time MacKinnon takes the ice for warmup is a pretty tragic oversight.

A real jerk thing
It's kinda always been there though, like Jarry being as dumb as a brick and flakey. Neither of them are goalies we should at all get remotely attached to.

I miss the Igloo sometimes.
Then I remember the dungeon concourses and how the whole place smelled like old Iron City piss and suddenly I'm thankful again.

The New Place is still the Igloo to me, it's just... a lesser version of a lesser thing. The Igloo v.0.5 - "we have self-cleaning troughs and actual sight lines, just not a lot of enthusiasm".

It was actually a pretty cool building with some near history. Just... well used.
But yeah the new place doesn't really seem to get loud like the old opera house used to.

The new building will be loud again when the team's in the throes of a rebuild and essentially giving out like 50% of the arena's capacity in tickets to students.
