The wages aren’t lost. They’re just behind a cage at a casino.

5 things in things I can’t wait for in this series in this order

1.Geno to lose his mind
2. Tanger gets punched in the face, resulting in a 5-3, where we promptly score twice.
3. Sid’s Philadelphia Hat Trick
4. Backbreaking Dumo goal.
5. Philly fans pretending like they knew from the start we would demoralize them.

Actually, I find #5 to be actually true. There is an extremely deep anxiety in Philly over their coaching and goaltending. I have yet to talk to a Philly fan that thinks Philly has more than just an outside shot in this series.

I literally couldn’t even view the page at all. It was a big red screen saying ERROR. Today is the first time I’ve seen EKs site in 2 years.

Welcome back

Vegas blogger had a little tidbit about the penalties in the playoffs narrative.

Narrative: Less minor penalties are called in the post-season.

Fact: Actually, more minor penalties are called in the playoffs.

From 2007-17, 3.7 minor penalties per 60 minutes were called in the regular season; that figure rose to 4.2 minors/60 in the post-season.

Garret Hohl offered an interesting theory about this fact:

I do believe that referees let more go in the playoffs. However, my guess would be that this fact causes teams to try and get away with more. The two opposite impacts then counter each other, and create a similar number of infractions.

Since today is blast from the past day... Guess I'll bring back an old favorite... I'm in between IT contracts again! So I can be outside the arena at three pm or so because what the (frank) do I have do to today!
- Guile

I jinxed myself. Just got offered a new contract. So in two weeks I can't sleep in anymore. But still going early today because I have nothing to do!

Sheng is a really good writer. One of the few I almost always read here as well as Wilson.

5 things in things I can’t wait for in this series in this order

1.Geno to lose his mind
- Bartley1909

Good, I like it when he gets rattled and instigates poop and then plays the victim, gets him off his game. Not sure why you would want that, though.

2. Tanger gets punched in the face, resulting in a 5-3, where we promptly score twice.
- Bartley1909

This will happen as soon as a glove comes within 3 feet of his face. See: Matt Read 2012.

3. Sid’s Philadelphia Hat Trick
- Bartley1909

Probably happening.

4. Backbreaking Dumo goal.
- Bartley1909

Doubtful

5. Philly fans pretending like they knew from the start we would demoralize them.
- Bartley1909

We know that this series going more than 6 games in the Flyers' favor is a long-shot, but nice try.

I love when Geno snaps, he becomes unstoppable.

Unstoppable battles that his teammates end up fighting for him, yeah.

Dude's immensely talented no doubt, but for as big as he is, that dude is a magician when it comes to backing out of a scrum he starts until the refs intervene. At least Crosby stands his ground.

See: 4:43



But yeah, I want him to lose his mind like this all series long. Not sure why you'd want that, though.

Either way, with our questionable goaltending and your depth, I think you guys would still be favored, but in 7, even if Malkin was out.

88 never got them anywhere. I remember him bawling over losing in the playoffs.

Should we just get this out of the way and begin the personal insults now or are we going to pretend to be gentlemen for a couple games before the poop throwing begins?

I am merely a vessel for a higher power. My will is not entirely my own.

It looks like I'm being (frank)ing eaten by it since I've dropped 30 pounds since I bought it... but yes, Orpik jesery with an Orpik shirt underneath. Because the poop is lucky and funny!


edit: also gotta run to walmart/Richards to buy another lawnchair for my GF... somehow I brought zero when we moved closer to the city X_X
- Guile

what in the world would make you want to move closer to the city? I would rather drive the squirrel hill tunnel 7 days a week in rush hour than live closer to pittsburgh than westmoreland county

I recommend telling MJL that he is wrong about something fairly insignificant as often as possible
