Letang spoke after practice. Said he didn’t feel quite right after those three games he played. He wouldn’t commit to being ready for the playoffs. This feels strangely familiar.

Ugh.

I will say though, for as much as players, coaches and their organization are tight lipped about injuries during reg season, when the playoffs are very near or here, it increases ten fold.

He is taking part in full practices though, albeit not in a contact jersey, so that's a good sign. In 2017 I dont think he was even coming close to the ice, not even on his own...though I could be wrong about that.

Completely different. Stranger Things is like a cool nostalgia 80s type show where Channel Zero (first season at least) was just (frank)ed up and weird.

Okay. I like to binge watch with the wife, but she can't do horror. She can barely handle GoT, couldn't handle the Castlevania series (too gory, even as a cartoon). She liked Stranger Things, but sounds like this would be too much for her.

Castlevania was so awesome. I wouldn’t say it’s gory. It’s more psychological I think. But yeah if she can’t handle GoT, she’s out hahaha

She watched the intro of the first episode where there are a few hundred dudes impaled and then people (including kids) getting ripped to shreds and she was out.

"One side effect of using an incapable pair against the tougher matchups is that other pairings can breath a little"....which pair is this referring to?
- MattStrat

All three right now. The blue line is in shambles again.

Yep.

Schultz on the first pairing is in over his head.
Trotman in the top 4 is in over his head.
JJ on the ice at all is in over his head.
Maatta carrying Trotman is in over his head.
Gudbranson and Pettersson are starting to show some lumps in my opinion.

The Pens D is brutal right now.

Channel Zero is a verrry different type of show than Stranger things. Much darker, creepy and twisted.

Every season is different the way AHS is, but much better.

It’s so good it got canceled actually, I liked the season with the house with the zombie clones from a different dimension though.

Lots of good shows get cancelled. The last season was great with that weird clown thing.

There’s a word for that. It’s called an anthology series.

It would be great if we could get a better blog here. I'm surprise that with the Penguins being such a popular team over the last decade and a half that there's not more interest in having a decent blogger for the team.

I'm not saying I want some fan boy as a blogger, but RW just doesn't get it. He tries to use stats and charts in every blog but doesn't take into context the stats. Look at the last game against Detroit, that top line has been the best line in the NHL lately so it's not surprising that they were able to take over the game. 1 hot line is all it takes to win a game sometimes.

I’m not being a downer but looking at the Pens Islanders without homer goggles on the Islanders take the cake. Pens are going to be thinking they will breeze past a hungrier, more physical more shot blocking team. We needed the Islanders in the Third round. I’m sure Tampa won’t do any damage because they never do. I guess it’s hard to try to finish low though.

You just need to sign Vokoun and you'll be fine.

Each season has a different title. Candle Cove is season one and still the best one.

Season 4 is the next best.

- Rinosaur


So I'm 3 episodes into season one. I wouldn't really say it's scary as in jump scares or disturbing imagery (aside from when the show comes on or the tooth monster shows up), but it definitely has an unsettling feeling as you watch it. Good stuff.

Oh, and when the old lady took a hook to that girl's throat...that was a pure wtf moment.

Well, I didn't say when it was, as there's several meetings between said lady and other female characters.

So I did a little digging (not too much), and apparently there's a point where they go INTO Candle Cove...very excited to see The Skin Taker interact...or maybe I shouldn't be...

RW used to be a solid blogger but he’s mailed it in and got lazy with his writing this season. There’s not nearly as much analysis as there used to be.
