After being vaguely aware of Tristan Jarry from a distance I fully agree

In December I tweeted that you couldn't crack an egg with the force it takes to mentally break the Penguins.

This is an entirely different team. And I kind of think the difference has been Stuart Skinner.

My VPN has me in Omaha but I'm getting ads for California politicians and I don't know why

At the start of this season, Mantha and Novak were just bodies filling out a roster on a bad team. They have become core players on a playoff team. What a wild ride.

I understand that is their official position. I'm saying I don't buy it. This exact team with many of these same players was the Coyotes nine minutes ago.

If Arizona gets another team and gets to own and celebrate that "defunct" history then we can talk about the Mammoth being new.

"Get your head out of your backside and stop turnin' the flippin' puck over!"

Phil Bourque self-censoring for a TV broadcast is a treasure.

I don't think officiating has ever broken my immersion in a hockey game faster than this. Like, ok, we're just making stuff up tonight. I'ma go do some chores.

I dare them to explain to me why that is not a kicked-in goal

Kailer Yamamoto pulling Anthony Mantha out of a scrum is hilarious. He's so small.

Okay I actually think there's some room for that to work

Dylan Guenther, der rink general

By the way I am not on board with pretending the Utah Mammoth are a new team. This is just the Phoenix Coyotes, and they relocated. Don't believe their propaganda.

I know it's on a salon, but it just seems a little off that this is a flashing neon sign that's either mass-produced or someone called in a special order for it.

This is how I've attained a nonzero amount of jerseys, but I think it's related to alcohol in my case

I have been on the internet for A Long Time

Somehow my browser still retains all my bookmarks going back to when I was a baby child using Internet Explorer. They migrated through Firefox and up to Chrome. It's a trip going through these folders.

There are webcomics I stopped reading in 2007. Forum posts from 2001.

Meanwhile I feel like I could 100% buy a car from Stuart Skinner

Going to Costco is like time traveling to an era when things are sensibly priced

How do you like it vs 6? I have like 10k hours clocked in Civ 5 but 6 never really grabbed me for some reason

shootouts aren't real so w/e

Did Erik Karlsson come off the ice at all in OT

I have believed for a while that Rust is the next captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins, whenever that time comes.

That is an earned point

You cannot convince me Bryan Rust isn't the acting captain on this team

He looks like such a perfectly reasonable second-pair defenseman.

I am looking at my TV and somehow forgot there was a hockey game on.

Not exactly riveting stuff in this game

Me watching that Karlsson goal

Enormous marketing W for whoever decided to call it "toothpaste" instead of "mouthsoap"

Still not in love with the Penguins doing Nashville Predators cosplay

Birds fly, fish swim, Ben Roethlisberger fucking hates when the Steelers consider drafting a quarterback.
