Just so we can make fun of him for it. Not too worried about the actual game part of it. Ya'll score more without him in the lineup anyways it seems.

Rask just turned 23 years old. He has some more maturing to do but I would say he has the components to possibly become a very good goaltender for many years for the Bruins. They would be wise to keep him around for the long haul barring some catastrophe.

Glad the Pens took care of things very well tonight. They got ontop early and that was perfect to take the crowd out immediately. Glad to see they finally got the first shutout of the season for the team as well. Can't believe it took this long. Good bounce back game.

Charas not as much of a fighter as Thornton is what I mean. Even though Lucic has a buncha fights I think of Thornton as the enforcer of the B's. Good call tho :)

So is everyone happy now? He fought Thornton, doesnt get any bigger than that on the B's IMO.

Scenario A is he fights one of Bostons 'big three' as it was called. Scenario B is he fights someone a little less known as a fighter like Begin or potentially someone else, I'm not all familiar with the B's roster. Scenario C is of course he doesnt fight anyone. My question to the B's fans and the rest of the hockey would is if he steps up and fights somone will the issue be dropped? Does he need to fight one of the 'big three' which IMO is kinda unfair considering the career fight numbers of Thornton/Lucic vs Cooke? If he does drop the mitts does he lose some of his for lack of a better term 'little bitch' label? As a Pens fan I do hope Cooke fights SOMEONE tonight, if not because he will have to, but because he should to show that hes willing to be accountable for his actions.

Oh yeah the playoffs are a whole new animal but it still stinks to get swept in the season series, mostly cause I hate the Devils lol. Main concern is I'd much rather have the #2 seed than the #4 seed.

Didn't have anything of value in your truck or think someone just broke it to be a douche?

Another piss poor effort against the Devils tonight. I cannot believe that the Pens are half a game away from losing 6 straight to the Devils. Couple breakaways and a 4 on 2 given up before the game is half over.. I'm so disgusted right now.

JR the worst thing about Tampa was that they dint have redbull at the arena so we had to do jaeger shots instead of bombs at the bacardi stand outside. haha! Put a word in with the higher ups, they need to address that ;) Thanks for the info prior to the trip :)

thats a nice list man! Just got back from a great trip to Tampa Bay for the Pens game, included a stop in Raleigh for the Pens game thursday night. Went to a st pattys day parade and got lots of beads haah. Going up to pittsburgh next weekend for back to back home games and then to Atlanta in early april.. All told I'll see 5 of the Pens last 16 regular season games. Already had spring break! :)

Those are kidna neat, not much flash but nice.

What pens fans are pissed at Cooke?

Props to Booth and Richards as well for settling it.

I agree. To get a defined number 1 they probably would have had to blow up their roster. I just dont see the year ending on a good note for Philly though.

Poni will not debut tonight for the Penguins due to work visa issues. http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/news?slug=ap-p...p&type=lgns Also, for next season...

I love LG phones..I don't need a smartphone and while the Voyager was junk I really like the enV (original) and enV touch I have now. I'll never change unless I get a blackberry or something.

Gonchar talks put on hold till off season. http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburgh...s/s_669404.html

Pens acquire Jordan Leopold from Panthers in exchange for a second round pick 2010.

I believe so..they had silver/gold grip... then silver/yellow grip/orange si-core.. then the si core grip was a dark red.

The original Synergy grip was gold I believe. I think that a second generation grip.

I am 99% sure I'll be back in June, beginning of June. Now as long as you, Ty, Justin, and Mav take me back under your wing and invite me to come play, and pray that the pond you guys were using freezes up again next winter! :) I'll also need to buy some new equipment (wahoooo!), not to mention a new vehicle. You guys can use me as a pylon :) My brother hasn't had school all week and I heard Cal U canceled all classes for the week back on Monday (!).

I know and I cant imagine it! All of Pittsburgh area schools and universities are closed! People didn't have power for many hours... crazy.

I think Habs best situation is for someone to throw an offer sheet at one of Price/Halak, take the draft pics from one and sign the other. I really think you need to keep one of those guys, Halak IMO with the amount of shots against. Now that Gainey is out maybe Price isn't so coveted..

I too wish I was up in that snow. Pittsburgh got crushed and I won't see much of anything all year, saw some snow in Atlanta a few weeks ago. A dusting actually :'(
