Funny Story...
So I took Franks Advice and Bought my Powder Blue Jersey from Thailand…And Low and Behold…only payed about $70 with Shipping…So i get My Package…And a Letter From The Overseas Package Company Checking Agency or whatever its called….Apparently The Seller Tried Stuffing Packages of Oxycotton Inside the Sleeve and Duct Taping them down to the fabric…So Long Story Short…I have the jersey…and came dangerously close to being arrested on Drug Trafficking…Luckily I dont do that kinda stuff and A clean Record Saved My Ass.

Well, the start of this game has not disappointed. Was trying to prep dinner there, but I couldn’t look away — and I’m a neutral! (Well, I guess I want the Pens to make the playoffs, so…)
Theodore seems like he remembers how to play goalie. I will never figure that guy’s career out.

So Far
this has looked like a solid game. We just need to generate some more PP’s and then convert some solid chances off them. PK’s looked good, and thanks to the Washington biased Yahoo Sports telecast of the game, me hearing “the great 8” has only happened like 34 times and 2 of those were when the puck was on his stick! They’ve really kept him out of this game so far.
