Well, no, the Neal one was legit. I seriously don't like him at all.
And I do fully expect MAF to crumble in the playoffs again. Likewise, I fully expect DB to express his confidence in him and the fanbase to follow.

i wont sit here and try and disagree with rationality. you have enough grounds to legitimately claim both of those things. love neal, but hes definitely displayed too many douchebag incidents for it to be a coincidence.

and fleury, you wont find a nicer guy in the league, but he needs to show something before he inspires any legitimate confidence in important games. he has 0 credit stored anymore. put up or shut up time, and i dont consider that an insult at all

MAF has a shrink to help with his head issues. Remember that NBA prospect that's afraid of flying?

Q: How many Pens fans does it take to change a light bulb?

A: None, they would all rather stand around and talk about the old one.

A pens fan, a devils fan, a rangers fan walk into a bar


They all say "ouch!!"

Maybe. But it's also why he had a stroke. Not getting enough oxygen to where it needs to go. What happens is a teensy weensy bit of deoxygenated blood normally getting pumped to the lungs for oxygenation leaks through that hole to the other ventricle and gets pumped into the body, even though it hasn't gotten to the lungs to be oxygenated. So now we have a slightly lower amount of oxygenated blood circulating through the body as compared to a healthy person. Sometimes in the right situation, that's all it takes.

no the septal defect allows an embolus to travel from the venous circulation to the arterial side, up the carotid (or vertebral artery) to the brain and cause a stroke

letang doesn't suffer from not enough oxygen but a hole that allowed a clot to embolize (at least from what I've read so far)

Of the 5 regulars at ES, it's Coburn, Streit, Grossmann, Schenn, then Timonen.

whoa i believe there is a misunderstanding here. i'm a phillies fan. not a pirates fan. and while that world series was sweet as pie, it doesnt change the fact the phils are gonna be in the gutter for a little while. it stinks, but it is what it is. they went all in for an extended period with a veteran team. guys get old. it happens. i just wish they could have gotten one more out of it. but im a weirdo anyway, part of me misses the vet and its joke of teams in late summer days.

actually, i probably just miss general admission. i dont know how my grade school self could afford games, and my supposedly young urban professional self cant.

I miss going to games with people who understand the game and are interested in it, not the "entertainment experience."

I've gone to less games since the team got good than when they were terrible.
