Did heavy rope workout this morning for arms.  Looked easier than it was. 

I'll never forget the time he asked me, or someone near me who he thought would care, "Dont these niggas pay attention?" after they announced his TD as his NFL first, but he'd already scored one in (random road city).

San Diego State. Him and Blackwell were my homies. The three best friends anyone could ask.

It's funny how all the penguins numbers (possession, SOG, etc.) improve when the islanders actually have to, you know, work for scoring chances rather than blindly throwing pucks at the net which become goals due to a fucking spaz goaltender.

Yep, line-up changes and adjustments seemed to make a huge difference.  Also nice to see Depres getting 14:10 of ice time.  Martin and Letang were playing 30+ every game this series and were down to the mid twenties last night.  He's easily the 3rd most talented defenseman on the roster, I don't care if he's green, play him.

I'd take it a step further and play Vokoun until he loses consecutive games. 

Close this shit out Saturday.  I want no part of a game 7.  Game 7's and AFC championships at home have not been kind to us over the years.

Much better effort all around. As for the goaltending, i don't have any interest in the chicken/egg or cart/horse questions. Start Vokoun til he loses.  

No worries.  The NFL playoffs haven't even started yet.  I know, I watch ESPN.  They must start after the NBA postseason wraps.

Penguins lines at the morning skate:

Kunitz-Crosby-Dupuis
Iginla-Malkin-Neal
Morrow-Sutter-Cooke
Adams-Vitale-Kennedy
Bennett-Jokinen-Jeffrey

Looks like I may get my wish and Glass is out.  Don't like taking Jokinen out of the line-up though, although Vitale is at least his equal on face-offs.

Also, Depres is apparently skating with Letang.  that is either going to be a genius move or a fucking disaster.  Something had to be done though, as Eaton cannot skate with these guys anymore.  Eaton has looked horrible since game 1.

As irritating as the Penguin's series has been so far, the other first round matchups have been ridiculously entertaining.  The Boston-Toronto series has been surprisingly good (Toronto's goaltending really keeping them in this one), Rags and Caps feels like a 7 game series, Kings rip off 3 in a row (OT again), and Detroit and the Ducks go to OT as well.

Really makes you wonder if the NHL should go to a shorter regular season permanently. Seems like 82 games is too much, maybe meet somewhere in the middle?

I've been a vocal Fleury supporter in the past, but enough is enough.  Let's see what Vokoun can do.

I was able to drag a 20# bag of bird seed into the house the other day.  I had to stop after about 10 feet and take a nap on the lawn, and then as I dragged it over the sidewalk a hole opened up and lightened the load considerably, which helped me get the job done in just under two hours.

You fit young whippersnappers piss me the fuck off.  Truth.
