The guy cost nothing and you can drop him as soon as your healthy. I just hope this wasn't the move that was going to make the Pens tougher to play against.

Haha! I don't think so. 6' 188 lbs he probably isn't a bruiser.

Not implying that.

When Staal comes back, along with Crosby, secondary scoring should improve because guys will be playing the role they were intended to. Whitney would be a great addition, but on a team that isn't overly physical already I'm not convinced he's the missing piece.

EK's new blog said the pens have interest...i wonder if he just says that because hes been wrong about "whitney to the pens" the past 4 years and just keeps saying it.

id think fleury gets tonight and saturdays game against boston, just because there is a good 2 day resy for the flower. i think johnson gets some of the back to back games though. id say winnipeg, buffalo and columbus this month and the flower gets the rest

Love him...(In a manly, hetero sort of way)

Oh of course. haha

He would be the big forward plus the net front that everyone wants. Perfect fit. . . . . except for the 3.7 cap hit next year.

not gonna lie, I wouldn't be opposed to seeing him in Pens sweater. He's UFA at the end of the year. He could be a Guerin-type of player. He's as good off the ice as he is on it. Maybe with Whitney on the Crosby's line and the 71/18/14 trio kept together this team would be a true pain in the a$$ to play against and physical enough to get by.

Deciding on tonight, chick that works at the fossil store where I just bought a watch. . . a nice dinner or a semi casual sit down? Don't really wana drop the cash if its not worth it.

My instructor is a COL fan and when i told him he couldnt believe it, until i told him it was his brother... haha

as for your dinner... hmm chick works at fossil so she sees all kinds of people and they all hit on her, so if you got a date with her already i would say a semi casual dinner, somewhere fun where you can both be yourself... try to do coffee somewhere else maybe desert as well... then i would say next time do a nicer dinner be confident and be yourself... and you will do just fine...

I concur with my LoveLine co-host. If you have a date set up with her already, then make it a semi-casual one, but still someplace with a respectable wine list. That way she won't be overwhelmed by the place/price of date or sense some sort of expected obligation on her part to "thank you" for the meal on the first date. If she doesn't "thank you" by the end of the third date though, buy your next wallet or watch someplace else!

Agree, there is no need to rush into anything here, see how the first date goes and find her interests, make the second date a day date over the weekend and then wait a couple more days for the third

DUDE WEIRD! haha We just decided just a coffee shop (kinda sucks because no tvs. )! You should start up a site and call it "Match". I think that would be a hit!

Figured if the coffee shop works there is a nice micro brew right down the street.
