Way too often. Thats the bs that irks me. Really grinds my gears. Rattles my chains. Burns my bacon. Chaps my ass.



my rant reminded me of one of my childhood hero's. Ladies and Gentlemen.. Mr Ernest P. Worrell.

Ernest Goes to a Hockey Game?

I like the premise.

I'm sure they will see some time together in certain situations. Certainly on the PP.

Those certain situations being the 4 times the Penguins are trailing towards the end of the game.

That would give Ernest Goes to Camp a run for its money

What? There's no way the Penguins will trail at any point in any of the games.. ask ESPN..

Once he figures out that they aren't going to 'skate fast and turn left' around the rink a la NASCAR, all hell breaks loose.

I think this was pre-meltdown. You'd enjoy it.

Guy spent decades building a career on no bullpoop and logical, pragmatic thinking. Then he turned into a bearded General MacArthur....The guy who literally was the walking epitome of "Question Authority" turned into shill.

Can't really blame the Coach for scratching Kubina. I don't think he's been terrible but I do think he's had some rough games. You just don't know what you're going to get from Kubina when you play him. One night he'll look really good and the next night you'd never know this guy has been playing in the NHL for as long as he has. Heck, you'd never know that he has a Cup Ring. On the other hand, Burdon has been good lately but we've also seen his play drop off in long stretches.

Playoff Hockey is here. These games are going to be interesting.

I think the slide began when he started acting. He was terrible with Sandra Bullock in The 'Net.

Will be interesting to see if Lilja or MAB gets the call tonight. Being that there is already (5) rookies in the lineup, Laviolette may decide to go with Lilja. I think Bourdon is the better option, and should get the call tonight.

I can't imagine Kubina not playing, unless he is injured.

He has been practicing with Jody Shelley.

He hasnt been the same since his injury. I think practice pairings have been
Carle-Timonen
Grossmann-Coburn
Lilja-MAB
Shelley-Kubina

He's been skating as the extra man the past few days do looks like he's the odd man out. Not sure why that is yet.

Flipping through the channels I saw one of the "Ernest goes to" movies and realized just how bad they were. Between that and the 3 Ninjas I'm not sure which ones were more corny. haha

I wonder if Ballsonmychin will try to keep the Cralkin line off the ice when Lava has Talbot Coots and Rinaldo out there.

A real sign of when a Penguin coach or player has it made in this league: when a Flyer or Ranger fan changes his name in a lame attempt to make fun of him.

He hasn't played great, but he's a better option than Lilja. Not sure I understand this.

Both were equally awesome when I was 7.

I'm thinking injury. He's looked a step behind lately. Not playing as well as he did when he got here.
