What is that ref doing

Hacksaw is down.
Ed Harris needs rest.
The kidnapping of Charlie has left Andy Dufresne unable to perform.
Things are against us going into Philadephia.
The Penguins never win here.
Need a rally:
Okay, boys, let's give Mr. Crosby some cover.
Gentlemen! Let's plow the road!

HUGE GAME tonight.
WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
LETS GO PENS!!!!!!!!
For those who missed the previous link:
All Aboard the USS Hal Gill
Lets.
Go.
Pens.
I SWEAR TO GARY that I was thinking of a spot start for either Capt. Hiller or President Thomas J. Whitmore.
Me = Stunned.
Staff is reading my mind.
MISTERRRRRRRRRR KENNEDYYYYYYY!!!!!!
KENNEDY!!!!!!!
"Nuke 'em. Let's nuke the bastards."
Pens win tonight, 4-3. Fleury gives up a garbage goal to tie it in the third but Biron gets beat by the Kennedyshot™ in a humiliating loss for the flyers.
father time is just as cruel before the game as near the end of the game.
HOSSA. PENS. DOIT.
Leaving the office in 45 minutes!!! I have, um, a meeting at 4:30 p.m (Pacific Time), yeah, that's it, that requires I leave the office at 4:00 p.m.
Let's Go Pens!!!!!!!!
As we prepare for the upcoming game, let us pray..
Our Roberts, who art in Pittsburgh, Gary be thy name.
The Playoffs come, The cup be won,
to Pittsburgh in the Arena called Mellon.
Give us this day our daily Pensblog
and forgive us our reporters as we job those who job against us
And lead us not into Philly, But deliver us from the whiners,
For thine is the Crosby, and the Malkin, and the Fleury for ever and ever.
AMEN!
Father Time is ruthless right now!
Come on Padre Tiempo give us pens fans a break, lets get this game going already.
Chris E. better show up tonight.
What would Gary Roberts do an hour before the game?
Well, I don't know. But I'm going to go mow our lawn.
But I'm going to be all angry while I do it and I'm going to sneer at the grass and so help me if any squirrels get in the way...
I actually think I'll try Lord Gary's backhand spin move (the one he used to assist on Max's goal) with the mower.
75 minutes...
Thanks, Potash.
Sooska, "Annyong!"
Amen, Whistler.
Agreed Eileen.
We need some Chris E action up in this bitch.
amen, whistler...
BNG66....Kennedy's STRONG!!!!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
[Hossa: Katie bar the door!]
Katie - I believe that I have that same, um, meeting at 4:30pm!
Going to take my chances with channelsurfing.com.
Do it!
I need a name for a roller hockey team by tomorrow.
Any ideas?
Dammit to hell! I'm not gonna get out of here at 4 like I wanted.
So, I guess I'll catch up with yinz when I get there!
GO PENS!!! DO IT!!!
Oh hell, with El Presidente in the air, the Flyers are gettin' shot down. You don't stand a chance you alien bastards!
GO PENS!
Pickle Stabbers wilsmith. Classic Bob Errey.

WWGRD? - sit out tonights game

Seeking mojo advice:
Normally, I'm quite confident in reading the mojo tea leaves, but I'm in a bit of a twist on this one.
Usually I synch up my jersey color with what the team is wearing... my black Reebok Sid for home games, and my white 90's Mario (with an "O" on the front) for the away games. This combo resulted in the Ottawa sweep.
Then on the day we visited the Rags, the thread came up here about never having won the Cup wearing the "Pigeon". Well, my aforementioned white jersey has the Pigeon, so I decided to keep with the black Sid. Of course, we won the first and lost the second.
So now, here we are, away again. What to do, what to do? The Sid is 1-1 away, and the Pigeon is 2-0.
I'm leaning toward staying with the black Sid, but would like to seek input from my learned fellow C-bloggers... (I guess it takes a village to dress a Pens fan.)
Go Pens
Let's do this shit!
Good morning. In less than an hour, cbloggers from here will join others from around the world. And you will be watching the largest ice battle in the history of Pennsylvania. We can't be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Thirteenth of May will no longer be known as just another day, but as the day the Pens declared in one voice: "We will not go quietly into the night!" We will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our IndePENdence Day!
@embee -- I thought I saw you on the meeting notice.
@Dr. T. -- The door is barred, and like the Pens, I'm ready for whatever trouble or desparation may come our way from the Flyers!
@thenwchica -- Can I write note a la "Dear Mr. Kotter, please excuse thenwchica immediately. Her presence is needed for a dire emergency. Signed, Epstein's Mother."
Stan Savran is all over it with the pregame outside pens locker room. Gill is running laps in the hallway right now.
@katie: Mua ha ha ha! I loved those notes from Epstein's mother. lol
I need to go take care of my sick uncle Gary. Yeah....that's it...my sick uncle Gary.
empty-netters is reporting that gary roberts may be out for the game. something about taking care of the black plague before it spreads through china.
pullman! HOOOOSSSSSAAAAAA!

The only loss of the playoffs before was when I was in a meeting without TV/web/radio contact...another such meeting was scheduled for tonight.
An hour ago an email came reading that the meeting was cancelled.
GoodOmenblog
@ bluzdude
The Sid is coming hard tonight. Do it.
@ jawsh
WORD
I usually go with a jersey until the Pens lose, then it goes into the wash and a new jersey comes out. Right now I'm wearing my Malkin Winter Classic jersey, and have been since the 2006-07 Crosby road jersey lost Game 4 against the Rangers.
I'd go with the Pigeon, since it's still got its road winning streak intact.
Tell 'em how to bring the sons a bitches down!
@jawsh
you beat me to it. it is nice to know that great minds think alike though.
Free Candy?
scoring tonight: dupuis or not dupuis? that is the question. im callin it though. from hossa.
go pens.
"You loose?"
"Yes, sir! You got your victory dance?"
"Oh I got it right heeeeeeeeeere, yeah!"
Let's kick the tires and light the fires, ladies and gentlemen.
Let's go Pens.
Steiggy! I miss him. I hope I don't smash my TV tonight having to listen to the VS idiots.
eileen - you will.
chris e....
WHOOOOO HOOOOOOO !!!!!!!!!
@katie....
make sure you take to the 'meeting':
•highlighter [pref. yellow]
•legal pad
•Fiji Water...lots of Fiji Water.
With Gary not on the ice...we'll all have to channel his energy thru other means.
[Hossa: I'd put Gary on the bench in Suit & Tie, just for the Hell of it!]
Well, things might be looking up...I might be able to leave at 4; but I still need to make that Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs. lol
listening to "Dethklok - Awaken" before the game. Been doing this since game 5 vs the Rags, and it seems to be doing the trick.
lets do it boys... im in nyc and i can smell that filthadelphia air....
LETS GO PENS!!!
Adam Hall is going off.
Interview with Ryan Malone on Sportsbeat coming up.
@jefe
+1 with the Big Poppa Pump call.
sidney settin' 'em up...
and Hossa will...you know.
[Hossa: did it. does it. will do it again!]
Ladies and Gentlemen what you are about to witness is the SHOCK & AWE known as the Pittsburgh Penguins!
It's BEAT DOWN time!!!
Tonight:
Jordan Staal will do something that will eventually be taught as its own course in universities around the country.
also Roberts jersey goes to the rack tonight.
In his place, and rewarded for his game winning goal in game 2, the away Tal-bot jersey. Max was rewarded earlier in the postseason (without looking, game 1.3?) and did not disappoint by going 1-0.
If memory is correct:
Roberts jersey (home): 7-1
RBK Blk practice jersey: 2-0
Talbot jersey (away): 1-0
The one loss occurred while at home and not streaming. Note to superstitious self: do not watch games at home.
Just throwing this out there as a photoshop idea for anyone who might be skilled at manips. "The Thin Blue Line" is an actual movie that was made back in the 80s (not about hockey). However with the injuries to the Flyers defensemen, a photoshop of the cover or poster of "The Thin Blue Line" might be in order.
imdb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096257/
Pickle stabbers is a good name to go with. Gotta love the errey. Haha.
LETS GO PENS!
DO IT!
Jordan Staal will score one for Gandpa Staal
MAF will make a save that is so sweet it will be bottled and sold as cologne.
Thanks somechic! You can never go wrong with a Bob Errey reference.
Ok, guys, I'm outta here. Heading to my "meeting".
@Dr. T -- I have all of the aforementioned items.
Let's Go Pens!!!!!!
thank gary for scrubs...makes the half hour wait go quicker
Gray Penguins Hoodie of Victory standing by.
GO PENS
I've got the Orioles-Red Sox game on m'self. Former ESPN hockey PBP man Gary Thorne is Baltimore's PBP announcer.
Isn't Hip at this game tonight? I thought that's what she said.
Staal, Malkin and Dupuis score en route to a 3-2 Pens victory
(I know they'll probably lose at some point, but you ALWAYS gotta predict your team's success. I have a genuine good feeling about tonight though. Shockingly calm.)
Hossa.
Malkin shirt is ready.
online TV viewingblog:
channelsurfing.net has upgraded their site. To view Versus you must have Windows Media Player 11 and install an ActiveX plug-in to view. Click the IE only link and wait -it will ask you (eventually) to install the plugin. I discovered this last night. I have yet to be able to actually view anything so I don't know if it works for real. They are showing 2 links tonight-one is a link to justin.tv so you might as go there directly. The other is Versus. Mogulus.com is also a link to justin.tv (rasg2riches or whatever his name is now)
Thanks for the input, gh0st and nathan...
Unfortunately I have two opposing recommendations...
Such stress...
Another good omen...
My professor dismissed my Grad school class an hour and a half early, with no explanation!
Drop the Puck, eh!
@ nathan- yes, hip is at Camden Yards

"Gary Roberts, and you think I'm reckless? When I skate, I'll have you know that my team and my city come first." - Ruutu
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
this kinda sucks, i gotta wait for friends to get home from work. setting the DVR. start time is about an hour and a half after puck drop..
jefe, watch it anyway.
lucky black Pens logo shirt...check.
tonight = Sidlanta.
and a GW from Staal.
I printed out 85 copies of the Gary Roberts for Pres. sign at the school library today. By the end of the day, the security guards at the school were taking them off the walls. WOOOOOO
The last time I was able to post during a game, we beat the Rangers to go up 3 games to 0.
I also got wasted and was a wreck trying to teach my classes the next day!
I just opened a beer and sat down to the television. Here's hoping for a complete repeat.
online viewing blog one more thing:
hockey webcasts says it only has live video in Canada, so unless you are one of the Canadian cbloggers you're SOL on that site.
Chatblog
time for my two pens song traditions:

@eileen -i couldnt do that. just dont spoil it for me haha.
id vote for bill pullman if he ran for president
pullman/quaid 2008, today is our independence day!
@jefe
You're a better friend than I am haha.
Gary Roberts doesn't have pneumonia....
Pneumonia has Gary Roberts!
WTF!!!!!
*King
@eileen -ive been DVR'ing games for the last 2+ seasons. whats a few, or several, more. its only 420 here. work always interferes..
Short, sweet, and to the point. That's exactly how I want this game to play out, if anybody gets what I'm saying. Be back after the game to talk about the awesomeness that I witnessed (knock on wood).
sweet, bob errey on nhl network. i wish i had turned this on earlier.
82!
LET'S GO PENS!!!
We've gone clubbin'?
I hate this fucking broadcast already.
Lets Go Pens! WOOOOOOOOO!
I loathe Beninati... he's such a tool.
orpik/sykora playing with the flu. according to CBC.
i guess in my former high school the students have been posting pictures of candy vans and orpik on the walls and on lockers..... haha that is def. hilarious!
wooooo go pens!
Gary Roberts out with pneumonia.
Orpik and Sykie have the flu.
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!
After this break?
Then Hockey Central?
Damnit!
The Pens should have gotten vaccinated before they went to Dirty,PA
Do the Pens not know what flu shots are? How many of them have had the flu up to this point?
Engblom's hair = perfect...
If your a DICKHEAD!
And don't forget that Mr. Kennedy had Mono for awhile.
We are not only oft-injured, but apparently we have the worst immune systems in the league.
Flyers fans don't think penalties should be called at home. That was a pretty easy call.
*gasp* Gary Roberts is out for game 3.
Wah wah wah. Isn't the coach supposed to be the most composed? I guess the whining starts with the leadership.
That being said...let's start it out with a pp goal!
WOOOOOOOOOO! 1-0.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It's a good thing the refs give us these games!
I guess that is the way to "weather the storm."
WHITNEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Philly: Why not us?
Pens: Because you suck!
HOSSA!!!
Love it! Love it! Suck all the air out of that sideshow crowd.
18 buries it!
Holy mother of Mary what a move by Hossa. That's quality right there.
That's the way to shut them the f up in their own building!
This is awesome!
Crybaby Stevens=STUNNED
That look in his face after Hossa's goal was priceless.
I'm stuck with the radio here at work. After the Whitney goal, Lange said that Staal and NotaSuperstar were holding each other's sticks and then even exchnaged sticks.
I could only imagine Staal bent double to try and reach the ice with Briere's tiny hockey stick, while Briere set out to use Jordan's normal-sized stick as a pole vault.
19 then 18 next 17...
betcha that son of the slain police officer is the envy of all flyers fans in attendance, eh Christine Simpson?????? [/what a jokeblog]
WOOOOOOOOOO Just got back online to hear Hossa score ( the versucks on channelsurfing.net is not working -at least for me and PensBob ) and we get Mike in time to hear HOSSSSSSA and he just lost his liquor license! WOOOO and the Colonel too! WEEEEE
Thanks for the hook while on the PP Danielle! I guess when you put it that way, it shouldn't be too surprising.
NotASuperstar...nice hooking!
Soft call?!
These fucking announcers make it even worse. They just add fuel to Philly's conspiracy fire.
Ummm, what did Hoss do?
I missed so much, but I'm glad I'm here finally!
Whit and Hoss! Whoooo!
Hossa did nothing.
It was a pure even-up call.
Anybody else think that Stevens just looks like a tool? Every time they show him I feel like I want to slap the taste out of his mouth.
How long before the VS. management realizes Beninati sucks, send doen the consultants and make him Joe Beninatgoingtoworkhereanymore?
NO! Stupid Cumburger
And Sooska? The Ceeb feed on Richsports is working for now.
Shit...crowd just woke up.
They need to call the obvious penalties, but this is ridiculous. If you take your stick off the ice, you must be hooking.
Thanks Chica! "dying alive 2" here
what did Syko do?
More gay hooking going on than at Charlie's bath house
zing.
Solid PKblog.
Hossa shows Richards how a good two-way forward backchecks.
Did they just get caught in a change? Why are Bing and Malkin playing on the same line? Is it because of Sykora's flu?
Damnit...I want answers, HCMT!
@sooska: didn't see anything but a shot on goal.
Smart play by Ruutu...don't get their crowd fired up.
There was an article about "just skating away" in the Trib (I think) today.
sexychubbs: I think the lines were off because of the PP/PK lines being out there so much.
Briere has a clothing line?! Oh, that's just too good.
Danielle will have more time to practice his golf game by the end of the week so he can keep up to his wife.
carroll - Thanks, that makes sense. I'll calm down. I was just saying to another fan today that I am impressed with the Coach for sticking with what has worked and not messing with the lines. I just panicked a little bit.
Damn it Fleur!
no that's flexibility...feww. close call MAF
Wow. What a save by Fleury. Dumb play, but a great recovery.
Way too scary!
now*
eileenover - is his clothing line for Barbie dolls?
Eileen, he has a clothing line because he's a star, too, like Sidney.
Briere's clothing all comes in one size... "Men's Petite"
Some douche from philly just texted me about orange being better than "coward yellow" to which I replied, "It's Las Vegas gold, bitch, and we're about to beat your house!"
SUCK IT PHILTHY.
@carroll
He collaborated with Don Cherry to make golf outfits.
@johanna
I forgot! Briere is the biggest superstar in the NHL. That's why he has no points in this series. What a player.
@ johanna montana - but Danielle says he's NotASuperStar-he has his own blog about it even. Perhaps there are advertisements on the blog for his clothing line?
Can I just say...preparing dinner while the idiots were yapping before the game. If someone woke up from a coma and saw that "coverage," they'd think the Flyers were up 2-0. Let's sweep these fuckers so I can stop being sick of the Flyers slurpage and start getting sick of the Wings slurpage. At least the Wings have played well enough the last 2 rounds to deserve it.
nice one, Michelle
Briere's wife is a guy, they forgot to tell you that.
Briere's wife golfs better than him?
I'm stunned. I figured with all that time in Phoenix and Buffalo, Danielle would have plenty of time on the links.
DonCherrysuitblog:
a French Vanilla cream with red and fuschia carnations.
Awww....they just gave a little tribute to Gronk's grandpa.
Briere must be the lipstick lesbian.
I know they all count the same, but the Cryers still haven't scored a goal that made me feel like they were in control of play and actually deserve it. Another garbage goal today. The Pens continue to dominate and will finish the night up 3 games to 0. Just sayin...
You know you're watching CBC and the Pens are playing when the Timbits commercial with Sid is on.
Love that commercial but only see it during Pens games now that winter is over.
@carroll: I love that commercial too.
And if I heard correctly, Gronk is still living with Rex and he's providing a plane for him to get back home to Ont. tomorrow.
wow Recchi's giving Staal his jet for the day so he can get to Thunder Bay
generosityblog?
The Pens have two goals, one a beautiful effort by Hossa where he schooled their entire team, so what one do these douchenozzels keep replaying? Umberger's lucky bounce!!! Where is that guy from anyway?
M. Recchi solid!!! He's the one providing Jordan a chartered flight so he can go home for the funeral tomorrow. Now that's CLASSY!!
Chica, that's correct about Recchi...same thing was on Empty Netters.
Boo freakin' hoo Philly.
Bourque said McCreary butted his nose into the icing call when he shouldn't have-he's the ref not the linesman. sheesh.
Ahhh...missed EN this morning. They mentioned it on the Ceeb.
I hear ya Johanna, those fans have no clue what is going on.
I am figuring someone at versucks is a Pens fan and is trying his best to counter the conspiracy theories by making it seem as though Versucks is up Philthy's butt.
Anybody else excited for the interview with Stevens coming up after the break?
I'm pumped!
sarcasmblog
"Hossa absorbs a hit by Briere." That's because Briere weighs about 50 lbs.
I'm thinking it would be a bit more impressive if Hoss absorbed a hit by Hatcher.
Mike and 29 both say Free Candy has been "solid" tonight.
My roommate just came home all, "Would you mind if I bring my Flyers fan friend over?"
Pensgirl: "Yes, I mind."
I'm not having that trash in my own home.
GAWDGARY what a DIRRTY stinking lousy suckass filthy....
Fuck Uphall, what a dirty little shit
"Those two freaks in Detroit." Classy. These announcers are so stupid.
Richards: WHHAAAAAA!!
Outstanding play by Gonch! Cryers fans still have no clue!
Okay...I would have called Sarge, but maybe I'm not getting it.
Malkin is getting more boos than Sid. YEAH!!!! props to Geno!!
Chica, called what? He got the puck first and the player went down after the play. What is the penalty?
@jyo: I would have called Sarge for a trip; but I didn't see that the puck was gotten first.
Wow. Flyers fans are really idiots (in the arena at least). If you hit the puck on a sliding takedown, it's no penalty. Way to boo yourselves all the way to obvious ignorance of the sport, Flyers fans.
Before you know it the fans will be booing Rob Scuderi.
VS had a great shot of it...for once.
Can that Chris lady not do that. Like, the interviews during the show thing. Go away!
What would be funny is if she interviewed Cryers fans during the game.
Of course they did...I've got the Ceeb on. lol
29 said Hartnell is hurt after trying to run the Candyman.
Also I see the experts plan for the Phlyers to go at USS Hal Gill is on track and isn't working.
They just showed that hit on Brooksie, and he looked over at Hartnell like 'Uh huh...and?'
Wow. The new Bourque's face was...just...wow.
And he was going to try and come back today?
Wow again.
so much for Hartnell being hurt then since he slammed Ruuts
3rd line grindin away again!
Apparently if you take your stick off the ice its hooking, but slashing is OK.
Did that asshole just excuse Briere for slashing? GAAAH
@ jyo...
Didn't you hear the announcers? That wasn't slashing at all. It got mostly the stick.
Idiots
RIIIIIIIIIGHT
