Oh I am loving it when I get on Twitter just to see what Geno is Tweeting (not that a lot of it is in English).....Although his banter with Paul Bissonette is value enough :D

I remember a while back Bissonnette did an interview (or a series of tweets) when he was talking about how funny Malkin is, and how when some things gets lost in translation it makes him even better. Bissonnette said something along the lines of "yeah I got some texts from Geno and I actually think Malkin thinks my name is Biz Nasty. Like, first name Biz, last name Nasty."

So their conversation back in forth with Malkin only calling him "nasty" really seemed funny to me.

:laugh:

Bissonnette and Whitney still on this team would probably make it the funniest team in the league.

It's an old Russian joke. "Zatinu" ("unitaz" (toilet) backwards) sounds the same as "zatyanu" - "I'll suck in".

That's actually the whole joke.
"I read "unitaz" backwards and now I'm afraid to sit on it!".

Unitaz (унитаз) => Zatinu (затину) => Zatyanu (затяну); "I'll suck you in!"

You must be a very brave man not to be scared by option of being sucked in the toilet :)

I'm bad at explaining... :help:

Бог сказал: бойся слез обиженного тобой человека, ведь он будет просить меня о помощи и я помогу...

Geno getting spiritual.


God said, Fear not hurt you, tears of man, because he would ask for my help and I will help ...

Oh, okay. Haha. That's a pretty good joke. A couple years ago I was reading the page on Wikipedia about Russian humor or common Russian jokes or something like that. Lots of fun jokes.

My cat used to smile and lick its lips any time birds flew onto the porch. So yes, Brooks is smiling.

It's based on how central to the team they are, I think. Crosby and Malkin are at the center, Fleury and Letang are on the next tier of stardom, and Orpik and Staal are core players, but not quite stars.
