You don't wanna go this route, Fil. It grows on you. Next thing you know, you'll be subconsciously buying orange accessories. Then the Giroux jerseys will permeate your dreams.

I'm telling you, you're not ready.

It's like taking heroin. I can stop any time I want, right?

Yeah, but I have no fear about them getting up for the Pens. You can just taste the hatred on both sides!

I'm sure you're right. I mean, what could possibly go wrong?

Right now I'm just trying to work up some over the top, misdirected rage. I've noticed that seems to be a common pre game ritual.

I tried to warn you. Just remember that.

This is so weird. It's bizarro day for me. I'm in the very strange position of......

Of....

Of....

God I almost can't bring myself to type this....

Hoping....no, that's too strong. Not minding is better. Not minding if the Flyers win today. I want Columbus in the first round, better matchup for the Pens. If you people could get your team to have just won earlier this week, it wouldn't have come to this. I blame you....so get your sh*t together and root our/your team on to a victory.

You all will have to counsel me on how it feels to pull for the Flyers. What curses do I yell at Crosby? If Scott Hartnell buries James Neal with a stupid cross check that leads to a Pens winning PP goal do I feel pride or anger at Hartnell? Pats or Genos? its all So confusing!

Do you know if the Pens are playing the usual starters?

I think having Harry Z center the top line and getting Barrasso to come out of retirement and play goal would be a very good move on the Pens part.

It sounds as if they likely will based on what Bylsma said yesterday. Personally, I wouldn't. All kidding aside, the game is really meaningless for the Pens, and i would rather see guys like Sid who played in the olympics rest their legs...

Sorry, I must have been nursing my inner PLind.

But, but, Pierre Maguire would go into shock and struggle to fight back tears all afternoon!

Any minute now the Eagles should be releasing a statement that DeSean Jackson was found hiding in the back seat.

Who could ever forget the immortal Rico Fata?

Is he injured or do they just scratch him?

He's that generations Marion Lemieux

Probably needs to make bail first

Honestly, having G stay home was probably the best thing that happened to him for you guys.

I guess they could call it a UBI, right? Sumpin's not right with his head.

No doubt.
Though its funny that Kimmo Timonen, who is the oldest player on the club, came back from the Olympics re-energized and has been playing very well down the stretch.
