Did Sid score after the buzzer? NHL.com sent a message saying he scored an EN.

That's the problem though. He's purely a good 4th liner and pk specialist for me at this point. Can't tie up 4M for that.

But that is a perfect example of what a Cup (or 2 ), costs.

Clyde May's bourbon for me

That's what I've got in my glass right now. I've got some Four Roses Single Barrel but I don't have any simple syrup. I like my bourbon Old Fashioned.

Never been an Irish whiskey or even scotch guy. For me it's bourbon or rye.

I happen to make an amazing Old Fashioned.

Yeah but he had that salary when we got him. Was always a little overpaid as most guys who hit UFA are, but his hands completely disappeared after the 1st Cup. Pens really haven't paid a Cup tax other then Bonino pricing his way out.

EDIT Schultz jumped up pretty high, but his skillset, age, and righthandedness would get paid on the open market after the year he had Cup or not.

Yeah. I think that had less to do with the Pens' willingness to pay $4Mish on a 3C and more to do with paying Bonino $4Mish.

I'm not a fan of bourbon straight, that's the only thing. I love me some old fashioneds. Those are usually my go to at bars and restaurants but if I'm out of simple syrup, I like Irish whiskey with a giant square ice cube in it.

Haha I have those giant square cubes. I was an obnoxious craft bartender at one point in my life, so I have a little bar in my place.

Skip the simple syrup. Teaspoon of sugar with a splash of club soda is the original way of doing it.

But that's what I mean, getting him on a high salary paid off with 2 cups. Now he's not the player he was but we still have him & his salary. Had we not got him, who knows what would of happened?

Sure, I don't want a take back. I just would try to move on from Hags now. Will be easier in the off-season though.

Just a spoon to kind of muddle the sugar in the soda until it's dissolved.

Good to se some secondary scoring with Rowney a SHG & Whats the with the GWG. I don't know how the Pens didn't score more goals, unbelievable really. also that puck 6 inches from the goal line sitting there for the Yotes .

A wins a win, I'll take it & move on!

Metro standings are pretty insane!

Also, We are back into single digit negative goal differential. Something's not right with that!
