I been battling a migraine all day This game is like a shot of novacaine to the brain though. Told my wife I'm not getting mad if they lose, right from the start. 15 seconds in they go down. Just sat there cool as a cucumber. The third goal yea I was like wtf. Through the rest of the game though especially after watching that fantastic save by Bryz on Letang, I just dug in and watched. Think I played my karma cards right tonight!

Second game in a row I had to listen to Mike Lange describe a first period Crosby goal while on the way home from work. Nearly drove into a power pole.

Siiiiiiiiiidneeeeeeeey Crosbeeeeeeee. OMG. Shave me with a rusty razor and slap me silly Sidney.

So much better once I get home and turn on TSN.

JVR is part of the team. I don't know how what I said is advocating for that. I still don't understand how the kid was on pace for 30+ goals then gets hammered by injuries guys want to rip him.
- JoeRussomanno

the same way some fans rip Bryz and are now suddenly in love with him. Or Shelley, until he wins a fight ... then he's Mr. Flyer.

Basically, some people are freakin' nuts.

I have a former work buddy who just happens to be a Leafs fan but his second favorite team just so happens to be the Pens. Apparently I'm too excited over just 2 wins...

I didn't watch a ton of Kings games this year, but I'm paying attention to Quick and he is just amazing

I dont know man. Wellwood has played some really nice hockey too. Lets not forget he was on a line with Hall when they won.... He had some really nice plays tonight as well, and only a matter of time before they start going in for him...

I'm not saying he is going to be as good a giroux, but I think he is going to be a suprise star in this league in a few years.

What does wellwood have to do with trading JVR?

Not that he'd have any confidence issues, but if he did, I think the game tonight would erase them.

The kid's been a monster against Malkin.

If Daniel doesn't come back, which is doubtful, then they're cooked. Edler's confidence is broke. Mason Raymond is useless. Look for Schneider to start game 3 in an attempt to jump start the team.

I was joking. Because they are doing so well without him... keeping the team the same.. get it? Just kidding.

OK gotcha But I think if JVR was healthy he'd have a much better season than he did. I won't give up on JVR for a good while.

- JoeRussomanno

Nothing. I was kidding about trading JVR. You said you hope homer keeps the team the same, and I was just saying that the sucess they have had really doesnt include JVR this season.... but just a joke.

I'm sure you're gonna tell is in the Blog tommorow bill but what are your thoughts on Bryz so far? I won't be able to get on the computer till like noon probably tommorow so I'm kinda dying to hear what you got.
- JoeRussomanno


Wasn't crazy about a couple rebounds and the backhander goal but he really battled for all he was worth, and made some huge stops along way (that one on Letang was his best as a Flyer so far). Did the same in Game 1.

Wow!

I had my iPhone in the dressing room and saw that the Pens went up one and the Flyers tie it.

Then it was game time and I didn't think it would look good to bring my phone to the bench.

I had the opposing goalie looking up into the second level sports bar to try to read the score from one of the TV screens.

After our first period I learned that they had won and I leaped for joy and danced around like the guy at the end of Slapshot!

I'm not. Its 3, not 1. Even if we get down 5, that just means we will scored 6 in the next 2...

yeah, he left a couple of juicy rebounds out there ... especially on that PP goal right after G scored.

just some unbelievable saves though.
