It’s awesome how far goalie masks have come. Johnsons mask looks great but I do like Fleurys mask better! Which works perfect since they are #1 and #2 :)
I’m a huge Led Zeppelin fan so I have a soft spot for BJ’s masks. Fleury’s is cool and all but I wouldn’t go as far as to say I like it more than Johnson’s. Just a personal preference of course.

I may take some heat for this but I’m not much of a Zepplin fan lol, so yes personal preference for sure :)

To tell you the truth I thought it was Elvis on the mask at first till I read the article haha!

Now we have an idea for Pekka Rinne, huh?

I’ve never gotten the Led out either, and never felt the need to, but this is awesome. I posted on the other one, I don’t like Fleury’s because they all look the same. He needs to mix it up a bit.
Chuck Klosterman wrote in one of his books (can’t remember which one) about how every male at some point in his life goes through a “Led Zeppelin is the greatest band ever” phase. If not them, then which band was it for you?

60’s- The Beatles
70’s- Led Zeppelin
80’s- U2
90’s- at which point I stopped listening to knew music and reverted back to the oldies.
00’s- at which point I started yelling at the kids to- shut that noise off.
Is it October yet?
You mean DiPietro? If that is the case I doubt it. DP will be lucky to get 25 games in this year. But if it does happen I will have to pretend he’s doing it to the tune of Immigrant Song.

Has anybody else heard or read anything about Crosby? Hockey Break on twitter an hour ago said Crosbys recovery is not on schedule and it is doubtful that he will start the season???!!
What exactly is Hockey Break? I’ve never heard of them, so I don’t know how much weight I’d put in them if that news came up on my Twitter feed.

Just checked it out Frank and here thier bio:
Hockey Break @HockeyBreak, Toronto Hockey insider, breaking trades, signings and more. Former pro scout in the National Hockey League, and minor league hockey player
-————————————————————————————————————
here’s the tweet:
Sidney Crosbys recovery is not on track. It is doubtful he will start the season, however, concussions can be unpredictable.
Just like MrChadysPens wrote. I never heard of Hockey Break and don’t know how credible they are. But here’s hoping they’re dead wrong because everything we’ve seen and heard about Sir Sid has been positive.
Is it October yet?
I love the last part.
however, concussions can be unpredictable.
After piling on a sensationalist line like that, they cover their ass with that? It’s like saying: “If your kid isn’t a boy, it’ll be a girl.”
If Hell freezes over, I'll play hockey there too.
It’s like that Jon Kyl meme… You say anything you want & then you indemnify yourself by claiming it is not meant to be taken as a factual statement.
If Hell freezes over, I'll play hockey there too.
wow, you follow US politics? Impressed.
Yeah, he sounded like a real @$$hole with that one.
Is it October yet?
Yeah I’m not even sure how I started following on twitter. I must have added it after a few beers one Saturday lol
He did a contest for a signed Malkin jersey and picked up a ton of Pens followers, myself included. In other words, you’re not (that) crazy haha
Mario Lemieux is better than you.

Oh, by the way, this hashtag is the best one of the day for us hockey fans.

I asked Rossi about it and he said that whatever HockeyBreak reported goes against everything he’s been hearing from his credible sources (ie: that’s Sid’s doing fine, is right on schedule, etc).
That HockeyBreak was pretty on point all throughout the off season (they were the first ones with the Mike Richards trade), but screwing up a bold report on Crosby ruins all that. Sad thing is, it came off as a tweet to garner attention more than anything; the guy hadn’t tweeted in a month, so he may have been looking to make a splash.
Mario Lemieux is better than you.
Twitter
Yeah
@hockeybreak said they just got back from vacation, so whoever it is, was just trying to make a splash as you say!
Here’s what HockeyBreak posted this morning. How convenient.

You do realize if you get your butt on Twitter you can have access to this stuff too?

All kiddin’ Ali, I do have an account but very rarely use it.Sometimes I’ll go on to catch some hockeys news but never tweet, and I mean never. I have exactly zero tweets. In fact when I told Allie this she “unfollowed me”.
Is it October yet?
yeah… she does that. She wields the ban hammer like a fiend.
If Hell freezes over, I'll play hockey there too.
When you start tweeting, L1, let me know and I’ll follow you :D

Sorry for almost causing a riot guys haha!
@hockeybreak is to blame though lol, my heart dropped into my stomach when I read it! And it was right after I was watching the Boston Cup champs DVD and they had showed Savard and were talking about all the troubles he has went through. Its sad that Savard is having to deal with all this and it would be catastrophic if Crosbys career ended the same way. Not that Savards career is done for sure but it doesnt look very hopeful!
It’s not your fault. In fact I’d say you did the right thing. You posted it (the tweet) and then Pensburgh got the info and (Allie) dug a little deaper to seperate fact from rumour and we found out the real story for the most part. I’d say a job well done, all-around by you and Allie. Big propps Mr.CP.
Is it October yet?
Well I feel a lot better today knowing this was just someone trying to make a name for themselves. That and I picked up a Fleury and Timmy Thomas RBK authentic jersey(s) today for dirt cheap :) Go Sunday!
