When I saw the headline “McGuire passed” on the NHL’s website I thought “HOLY CRAP PIERRE MCGUIRE IS DEAD YESSSSSS!” but then I clicked the link and it wasn’t him :(
i bet the tortoise has in his will that he would like to be laid to rest in a mike richards jersey..

Sami Kap is making a comeback. Hopefully Roenick is around in case he needs help finding the bench.

It was Primeau that helped him to the bench. Roenick just scored the goal.

I really thought Roenick pulled him over the boards???
Commenter formerly known as M from Pdaddy, but still just Call Me "M"!
Primeau threw the life preserver stick out there to corral him back to the bench but Roenick helps him over the boards before he went sailing by. The entire exchange is just hysterical and I can only say that now because he was and seemingly is okay. Kapannen was real honest player.

Not sausage! Not bacon! Not pork roll! We talkin’ ’bout… SCRAPPLE!

Caffeinated Bacon would surely be my undoing.

“Caffeinated Bacon” also sounds like a shitty bar band who would be on a bill with Don’t Call Me Francis and The Nerds at The Lagoon (if that place still exists).

Man, I had my bachelor party at the Lagoon (I think). What a night. The fact that I’m not entirely sure where we were drinking is proof of this.

I thought the same thing, but she’s definitely capable of holding her own and therefore keeps me on my toes. It’s pretty damn entertaining.

However, she is forcing me to make decisions and plan things for her birthday, and I hate doing that. I like it much better when she plans and I follow.

The best is when she wants “nothing” for her birthday. That is the scariest place to be in anywhere in the world.

Just did my wife’s 40th. She begged me for no surprises just a quite night, blah, blah, blah. Didn’t fall for that shit buddy. 50 people blowout surprise party at our favorite little italian joint. Rocked it. These are what 10 years of marriage and 15 years of being with the same person teach you. Not to fall for the oke-doke.

Defending Carter until 2021...
I’ve been stressing over this all day. The DC Film Fest is going on right now, which we both love. She was looking over the movies and decided “wait, I’ll make John do this.” She did narrow the movie selections down to 5 for me, which was a huge help. I agonized over the movies for a while this morning, finally picked one, it was sold out, and so was back to square one. I finally picked another and got tickets. Now I’m working on dinner. Before the movie? After the movie? I think I’m leaning towards before so we can go for drinks afterwards. But where to go is still a huge problem. I think I have it down to two. A Mediterranean place we’ve been to multiple times that we both absolutely love, or the very expensive wine bar at the other end of the block that we’ve always thought about trying but never have. You’d say “go for the new place, she wants you to be bold,” but the catch is I think she looked at the dinner menu once (planning to take me there) and wasn’t overly interested, but I’m not sure.
Argh!

30, no little trinket. Not sure of your situation and a circle of life might be a little steep but a little Tiffany’s heart charm never hurts. But its your lady and you did get the main stuff done. Flowers at the restaurant might be nice. Need a little doubleH help.

Alright dude. I didn’t know you rolled like that. How long have you been married? What is the event?
Commenter formerly known as M from Pdaddy, but still just Call Me "M"!
Dear M,
My wife and I normally pretty much ignore birthdays and anniversaries — we might get a cake for a birthday or go out to a modest dinner for an anniversary, but that’s about it. However, our tenth anniversary is coming up and I suspect that’s going to be taken more seriously.
Unfortunately, we’re probably not going to be in the same state that week. And maybe not even the week before or after. What should I do?
Signed,
Lonely in California
HAHAHA
I really have made the entire gamut of mistakes. Just trying to help a young brother out a little bit. I have my tenth this summer. We will be at the shore for a couple of weeks and I already got my plan in place. Keep this on the down low but I had my original gold wedding band made into a heart shaped pendant on a really nice necklace. Bam!

This is why i love this place, beacause where else could you talk about shit like scrapple, and hockey. But I digress….
I only just learned what Scrapple was last summer. I was in the aisle and some random lady was all like “oh my, dont you just love scrapple, you should try it like this”, and like three other people walked up and started giving me scrapple ideas. It was utterly ridiculous.
Needless to say I bought it prepared it, and if falls apart. Its not solid at all. I dont know why I was under the impression that it would have the consistency of sausage. Boy was i wrong. It also tastes like too many things to taste like anything at all, if that make sense.
But yea, theres my scrapple experience. Fucking hate it!

I was thinking it may be too heavy. But Don and penguinsfan disagree. I very rarely get hangovers, so I’ll defer to those with more “experience.” :-p
Lightning strikes once, Hextall strikes twice!
I rarely get hangovers either, which worries me, because I drink pretty often. I’m groggy and tired in the morning, but it’s nothing like when I was younger, when I would be shut down for an entire day after a night of drinking.
Although my last major hangover was the day of our first BSH ice game, when I was literally shaky all day, and I put parmesan cheese in my coffee by accident. But I digress….
I'm kind of a dick.
With the exception of my bachelor party and one or two other nights of very heavy drinking, “groggy and tired” is my normal state in the morning. Just lucky, I guess.
Lightning strikes once, Hextall strikes twice!
Lucky goddamn bastards, ya both.
Back in the day, I could down a bottle of whiskey and get up in the morning and go to work. Nowadays, I have three drinks in an evening and I have to consider taking the next two days off. Getting old sucks – I do NOT recommend it.

Thought I did this … ‘old’ is defined as over 36 – the age when you can legally date women half your age. It’s about the only positive in any age once you get up this far, until maybe retirement.

Life after 40 isn’t bad at all – in fact, my very best years have come after 40. I had many very good years before then, but my favorites are the ones right now.
This will doubly be true when I witness the Flyers raise the Cup again. :)

About to be 39 in a few weeks and it’s really not so bad.
Aristotle was not Belgian, the principle of Buddhism is not "every man for himself", and the London Underground is not a political movement.
So you’re telling me it’s just the years between 36 and 40 that suck??? ‘Cause 37 doesn’t seem to be working for me too damn well.
I’ll tell you what…the fives always bothered me more than the zeroes, e.g., turning 25 made me feel stranger than turning 30, turning 35 definitely affected me more than turning 40.
40 feels exactly like 39; the same with 29 and 30. However, 25 and 35 were odd because you’re in the second-half of the decade at that point – no going back to the first-half.
That may be what you’re feeling.

It’s literally scraps, pork scraps to be more specific, mixed with cornmeal, flour and the like. It’s mushy, so when you cook it, you want to make sure you crisp up the outsides to give it some texture. Personally, I do like it when I’m hungover, but I love it when I’m sober.

The Terminal Market’s right behind my office – in fact, the diner serves it, as does the Amish breakfast sandwich place next aisle over, and you can buy uncooked (several varieties) from multiple places.

For all that, the sandwich cart on the northeast corner of 11th and Market has Scrapple about half the time.
But I definitely prefer getting the ‘fresh’ varieties in the market – Scrapple with onions and bacon IN THE LOAF is the BEST!!!

If the above things will qualify me as a Philadelphian, I only need to boo Jeff Carter tonight
Mourning Gagne forever.
It’s stupid. Like the people who booed Cole Hamels. None of them should be allowed to go to a Philadelphia sporting event again.
/No Halladay? We have a ring.
//No Oswalt? We have a ring.
///No Lee? We have a ring.
////No Hamels? We’re on year 28.
Defending Carter until 2021...
I tend to agree. I am no Carter fan but I wouldn’t boo the guy under any circumstances.
Commenter formerly known as M from Pdaddy, but still just Call Me "M"!
I’m 99% sure you’ve boo’d someone who didn’t deserve to be boo’d.
But it’s just the mentality of people that go to sporting events. I don’t boo any player now for the most part unless something they do is particularly terrible (ie trying to injure someone), but when I was younger, I was part of the mob mentality and boo’d players that didn’t deserve it. But I was a kid and didn’t know better…but sure, let’s kick all those kids out of the stadium. People paid the money to get in there, they can do what they want within reason…and booing is within reason whether I agree with it or not.

I’ve only been to one baseball game in Philly since the ‘93 WS, but I still find it really weird when I’m in another city and a fan drops a foul ball and nobody boos them.
Not because I think they should (I don’t really care one way or the other), but just because it’s so deeply conditioned that I expect it.
Nah, I don’t boo my own team. I heckle, but I don’t boo. I save booin for Avery, Subban, Malkin, etc.
Defending Carter until 2021...
I booed Adam Eaton. That was my one exception. And I ain’t apologizing for it.
Aristotle was not Belgian, the principle of Buddhism is not "every man for himself", and the London Underground is not a political movement.
Adam Eaton makes me wretch at the mere thought of him. In 2007, I seemingly had the “Adam Eaton game plan” as every game we went to he started. And shit the bed. Every. Single. Time.
Aristotle was not Belgian, the principle of Buddhism is not "every man for himself", and the London Underground is not a political movement.
So never, as a fan, in your entire life, have you boo’d a member of the team you support.
Congrats for being an epic human being.
Geoff has Boosh, Mike's got Powe, Nodl is all mine!

Actually, that’s not true. I apologize. I would boo Mike Vick at any opportunity, but as i refuse to go to an Eagles game until he’s off of the team it will have to be at a shopping mall or something.
Defending Carter until 2021...
Still that’s based on your personal belief system, which I’ll consider being outside the normal circumstances we are referring to…like Carter missing a gaping wide net, or Leighton having one sneak through his 5 hole, or the PP being anemic, etc.
Geoff has Boosh, Mike's got Powe, Nodl is all mine!
Is this the right room for an argument?
Carter doesn’t miss that often, it’s just something we point out. His shooting percentages are comparable to Richie and Giroux, as has been shown many times. Also, when you’re a sniper trying to pick corners you’re going to miss a lot more than a guy like Carcillo who just aims at the center of the net and hopes. Carcillo only misses 17% of the time. Are we going to say he’s the best shooter on the team?
Defending Carter until 2021...

Agreed.
But I’m actually a bigger fan of the Porter or for those that have been to the NE Taproom in Reading “The Classic”. Chet Ale bottle with Porter draft mix it yourself.
Plus I was conversing with someone in NZ that would get looked at pretty strangely if he ordered a “Lager” and not be more specific.

The apple butter is only good if the stuff is TOTALLY cooked through – which isn’t the way I like it. Crispy, but still soft in the middle is the best way with eggs.

That’s the Dutchy way (pronouced “veigh,” for those of you non-Dutchified out there) to serve it with syrup. Charlatans eat it with ketchup.
Aristotle was not Belgian, the principle of Buddhism is not "every man for himself", and the London Underground is not a political movement.
Yeah, which is strange because I’m Italian. But I like it anyway. On a side note, a guy I work with puts hot sauce and ketchup on his meatball (with red sauce) subs. I almost punch him when he told me that…..
I'm kind of a dick.
Guy a big smoker? My grandpa put hot sauce on everything because he had no tastebuds.
Aristotle was not Belgian, the principle of Buddhism is not "every man for himself", and the London Underground is not a political movement.
My experience is that more Philadelphians put ketchup on their Scrapple. Elsewhere in the state – that’s pretty much heresy. But then, outside the city limits when you order a cheesesteak you WILL get sauce on it if you don’t specify without – and sauce is JUST WRONG.

They just started selling scrapple out here in Morgantown. I love it, but the stuff out here (it is from Lancaster, oddly enough) isn’t nearly as good as the stuff back home. Sweet Lebanon Bologna is awesome, but unfortunately it hasn’t made its way out here yet, although I have seen the regular on occasion (not sure why).

Aristotle was not Belgian, the principle of Buddhism is not "every man for himself", and the London Underground is not a political movement.
Well, welcome. You’ll be fine here as long as you don’t act like an immature teenager posting on a message board for the first time, complaining every time someone disagrees with you in the slightest. (Like someone we know.)
I'm the Pronger. Basically? Run.

yeah I’m 34 so I’m old enough to know better on that front. hell most of the time people don’t agree with me, that’s ok though that’s what makes talking about hockey entertaining.

Chem,
I"m gonna guess you’re talking about the person we talked about earlier?
Defending Carter until 2021...
There’s a difference between being a (maybe slightly) immature, but reasonably cool, teenager and acting like one when you’re not, such as thinking ANYTIME anyone disagrees WITH you, they’re personally ATTACKING you,

True story:
When I was a toddler, my family moved to Mississippi. The neighbors come over to welcome us. As they’re leaving, they say “well, we’ll see you in church on Sunday.” My parents explain that we’re Jewish, so, uh, probably not.
Response: “That’s ok, we accept all kinds here. You do believe in Jesus, don’t you?”
They never came over again.
HAHAHAHAHA
If that’s true that is a riot.

Ha, that’s great. I’ll be honest though, I don’t know if Jews believe in Jesus or not. Do they?
I had some religous folks knock on my door one weekend morning, while my girlfriend and I were in our pajama’s, already drinking wine. I let them in, they looked at the scene, and I explained they were probably wasting their time.
I'm kind of a dick.
I’ll be honest though, I don’t know if Jews believe in Jesus or not. Do they?
More as a contractor less as a savior.

hahaha I had jehova’s (sp?) witness’s come to my house until I told them I didn’t believe in magic, they never came back.
I’m with the Jews on this one. Jesus was just some dude who was probably on LSD. Much like the homeless who say they speak to god. He was the OG crazy bum I think.

Reading over at Die by the Blade and there is a blowout celebration planned for tonight. Past stars, fire trucks, hookers the nine yards. I hat when the Flyers go against these nostalgia nights. The crowd will be pumped. They are gonna have to weather an early storm of energy.

So much heart piled in the arena all at one time.
Geoff has Boosh, Mike's got Powe, Nodl is all mine!
Is this the right room for an argument?
Can’t stand HSBC. On the other hand, I loved the Aud.

I have been a lot of places but neither of the buffalo venues. I just like saying the Aud. Seems as the old nicknames for buildings were great. Igloo, The Joe

Here’s a question for ya.
This link says teams get almost 10% more PP time when they’re at home.
How much of that do you think is because things like last change and crowd excitement give the home team an advantage that results in the road team having to take penalties and how much of that is because the refs get influenced by the crowd?
If I say the refs are influenced by the crowd, does that make me a tinfoil hattie?

Depends – is your hair color natural? Corollary – do you miss Glenn Beck already?
Maybe it should read "reformedpenguinsfan" since I have retired my Lemeiux jersey ... and purchased an Orange and Black Pronger jersey.

Clarification – there is no causal relationship between dyed hair and Glenn Beck.
There are two kinds of tinfoil hatters – those who do it as part of a dye job, and those who just don’t know any better.

I’d think it’s almost entirely referee bias.
Separate question: why not do away with coincidental minors? I’d be okay with artificially boosting scoring numbers by seeing more 4v4.
It worked for the Oilers in the 80’s

Still, I feel it reflects hockey talent better than if we just raised the non-coincidental penalty numbers.
