An experimental floor in a postseason tournament with NCAA tournament trips on the line is some A-plus "I have money I don't need to be smart" galaxy braining. Well done.

Hell yeah this is the motivation I need.

Might fuck around and try picking up the bass. Is it too late to try to play bass?

Every mistake has ended up in their net. They have made too many mistakes. Silovs has not been up to the challenge tonight. Some strong stretches, but mostly a total no-show across the board. Need a big response on Saturday.

Parker Wotherspoon not doing anybody any favors here either. He is having an awful game.

That is a mistake you can absolutely blame Koivunen for. Awful play.

The Penguins have had moments tonight where they have been really good and moments where they have looked like a team that is playing with dirt in their eyes. No idea what to expect in the third period.

Josh Getzoff spoke that goal into existence. That was hilarious.

I hate to be a shoot the puck guy but somebody shoot the puck.

They all have been.

Penguins playing like a team that has a case of the Vegas flu.

Dewar has been fantastic this year but what in the actual fuck was he doing there.

Ricky Racks should not be playing center long-term but I think he has gotten better every game during this stretch.

I thought it was weird that Bourque was criticizing Koivunen when Novak just ..... watched the puck go?

13.03.2026 02:46 πŸ‘ 3 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 2 πŸ“Œ 0

No real issues with that period. Had some chances. Bad bounce went against them.

Just a bad penalty by Clifton. No need for that.

He has been a great pickup but I have never seen an NHL player misplay, fumble or flat out whiff on so many pucks.

Fantastic start for the Penguins and then a bad bounce ends up in their net.

This is going to be a tough game tonight. Penguins still without four key players. Vegas getting Stone back. Can not imagine Vegas plays as bad as it did in the first matchup. Getting even a point out of this would be big.

Blue Jackets lose in overtime.

Bruins and Red Wings about to lose in regulation.

NHL MVP tiers: You are probably still sleeping on Moritz Seider Because defenseman never win the MVP award, people will continue to sleep on him.

Wrote about seven players I think should be in the NHL MVP race: Top scorers, two goalies, a teenager dragging a team behind him and Moritz Seider ... the guy that isn't getting anywhere near enough attention despite also dragging an entire team behind him.

... He gets a VERY concerned look on his face, and goes ... "your name isn't Andrew Filliponi, is it?"

I cackled.

Then we talked about Mike McCarthy for like 25 minutes.

And he immediately starts telling me about what he heard on The Fan this morning about Dan Muse and what a great job he's doing. So start talking, and I begin to tell him I actually write about sports for a living and before I can get my name out....

Sitting in the coffee shop this morning doing some writing. Older gentleman sits down next to me, sees my hat and asks "is that a Penguins hat?"

No, sir, it is a Pirates hat.

"Well do you follow the Penguins," and I said yeah, I love sports....
