Pre-Game Talk: Pens/Yotes

[Dipsy Doodle]

This thread should be started by Fordy's last in the Pens/Kings postgame, just because something that good shouldn't be lost in the shuffle:

The **** is wrong with Letang? Is he not a physical specimen? Does he eat dirt? How does an adult, let alone an athlete of his level, manage to get sick all the time, get infections in their arms, whatever? Does he not know to eat an orange every once in a while? Like little kids get cuts infected because they don't know what to do with it and they mess with it and ****. Is Letang in the back of the jet picking at scabs and eating **** off the floor?

I imagine Letang's house has similar conditions to your average Dickensian workhouse/19th century opium den.

Maybe.


It's funny how no one else has missed a game from this bug that's going around. Letang's issues this season:

Did something to his knee (?) in practice for the preseason.
Infected elbow.
Sick.

Next he's going to slam his finger in the door and be day to day until he needs surgery on that. Maybe he's really old school? Like no understanding of germ theory and thinking bloodletting is a cure all old school.

His mother is scheduling an exorcism to get all of his demons out (except the ones that make him unable to make good decisions on the ice).

 

[Sideline]

The Mom's trip was just an excuse to get Mrs. Letang in town to make sure Kris is still washing his hands before eating and cleaning his room.

an inspired opium den reference deserves an inspired opium den scene.

 

[CrozJawz*]

Does Letang sit next to Neal on the plane???

If so, perhaps Letang keeps getting infections because Neal doesn't wash his hair and is falling asleep on Letang's shoulder??? LOL

 

[madinsomniac]

In other random pens news... if the season ended today the pens would play the Detroit Red Wings in the first round... Not really sure what to think of that

Leone...niiice. Pretty picturesque for a drughouse though, haha.

You don't have to think of it, because it won't happen.


I do look forward to facing them in upcoming years though. I wish it would happen this year but with all of their injuries I can't see them bouncing back.

 

[Frederick Stanley]

I can't remember the last time I've seen the Coyotes. Probably in the playoffs against the Red Wings.

These aren't my early 20s Red Wings, I would be confident in us crushing them in 4 or 5.

Holy crap... thanks for linking that. I can't stop laughing.

I lose it every time I read it. The story just keeps snowballing.

 

[AZPenguins]

This is my one chance a year to see the Pens live so hoping for a good game from everyone.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

I hope someone smokes Ribeiro. I can't stand that guy. Haven't liked him since that ridiculous Oscar-worthy performance when he rolled around the ice faking an injury during that Bruins/Canadiens playoff series a few years back.

My only chance to see the Pens this year was in Ottawa and we got killed 5-0 and Dupuis destroyed his knee. I wish you a much better game

Yes. Thanks for bringing that back into my life.

I wouldn't. Babcock is a better matchups guy than DB. And Z and Dats have the potential to hold Sid/Geno in check. And at this moment, we have no secondary scoring.

They're not contenders, but we've been bounced by lesser teams before.

I don't think Zetterberg or Datsyuk can contain Crosby or Malkin on their own, though. Lidstrom was monumental in holding Crosby at bay that series, regardless of Zetterberg's performance. I don't think Kronwall can do as good of a job.

In 2008 and 2009, it took them Lidstrom (top 5 d-man of all-time), Datsyuk (perennial Selke contender) AND Zetterberg (Selke-caliber defender) to countain Sid. They don't have Lidstrom anymore and they don't have the depth they used to. Geno should be free to do his thing... and he has Neal. Sid could have a tough series.

 

[Fordy]

Letang is married now isn't he? AND his mom is here. How is this happening? You know this isn't the first time Letang's mom was called to the rink because he had an accident.

He is starting to strike me as that kid who wipes his runny nose on his hands, then his hands on his pants.

That is kind of funny, actually.

 

[Fordy]

the team keeps daring letang to lick things and he does it because he wants to be accepted by the cool kids
