Penguins finally get decent goaltending in the playoffs and everyone in front of said goaltender forgets how hockey works. Great job all around guys.

Yes this will forever be a thorn in my side.

Genuinely, if Ovechkin does call it quits after this, it makes Fleury's Full Calendar Year Farewell Tour look even more embarrassing. If the best goal scorer of all time can walk away without 12 months of fawning, his slightly above average goalie ass should've done the same.

Every so often I'm reminded just how goddamn spoiled I am as a hockey fan and I get a little emotional about it

Kind of an awesome Pens game to be at today. Absolutely choked up when Sid got the second point to pass Yzerman all time. How goddamn lucky are we to have had him all these years.

Today is April 2nd and every degree over 60 is a personal insult. (Currently it is 84 and fuck this July shit)

I'm HOPING we keep him but he'll probably get a huge contract somewhere.

I've loved him since he was in Detroit and so his success this year makes me SO HAPPY (also very smug because I was thrilled when Dubas signed him and I look so smart 😂)

Hey, hey, you know who Anthony Mantha is, he was on your team!

Erik Karlsson had a goal and 2 assists tonight in a game where Penguins scored 3 goals

His absurd year continues

In his last 15 GP he has 8 goals and 22 points

He has elevated his game to an incredible level every time both Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin are out

A legend doing legend things

Erik Karlsson has played almost 235 minutes at 5v5 this month. In those minutes, Karlsson has been on the ice for:
- 54.4% of the shot attempts
- 55.1% of the expected goals
- 54.6% of the scoring chances
- 57% of the high-danger chances.

Special player.

If only somebody online would tell me what a grave and alarming situation we are in as a country in a hostile and defensive tone. Only then would I have the conviction to personally stop the bad things.

Is becoming an adult realizing that as cool as it would be to meet and get Sidney Crosby’s autograph that you’d much rather meet and get Sidney Crosby’s banana bread recipe?

I swear to god this wind better chill the fuck out

Watching the Jarry experiment go so horrendously wrong in Edmonton is very fun for me, a hater, personally.

If I ever find the Albert Reese who has been giving my phone number as contact for a whole bunch of various loans over the span of several years, I'm kicking him as hard as humanly possible in the nuts and then beating him over the head with my (probably ringing w/ a call from said loan shark) phone

Big Game Bryan Rust motherfuckers

I know everyone is super excited but it's way too early in the year for 80 goddamn degrees. Keep that July BS away from me for 3 more months.

This is definitely gonna be something we go back to in a decade and realize how wrong it was, huh

Bryan Rust with seven consecutive 20-goal seasons is really remarkable. Mid-round pick. Does not really do any one thing exceptionally well. Never considered a top prospect. Worked his way up and just turned himself into one hell of an NHL player.

And then they had him announce M&S too!!! I love it so much I love Connor sharing his moment with him this makes me unbearably happy (which is NECESSARY this week omg)

I love that I know PRECISELY what you're screaming about even though I'm not watching (don't have cable+too cheap for peacock lol)

The DRAMATICALLY more enthusiastic response they got was fantastic

Sure is a nice surprise to end the week with two NHL players doing a good thing. 💙

This is one of the only times where it's acceptable to look at a player being away from their team that's paying them and saying, "hey, asshole, what are you getting paid for?"

I’m so fucking proud of the Olympic gold-winning US women's hockey team for declining to attend Trump's stupid State of the Union address.

No cheating, your last saved pic of a celebrity is your therapist (I think Sid counts as a celeb but if you want a more traditional/mainstream one here's Hudson Williams too)

Okay but to be shallow for a minute...god DAMN.

The Amazon Prime NHL doc did nothing to change my "oh this dude is a shitty leader and a bad captain" opinion and he just keeps adding to the evidence.
