Depression.

Well now that Malkin is out again, plus Letestu's injury from the other night, three of Pittsburgh's four top centres are injured. Thank God Staalsy is back... that being said, I totally just knocked on wood.

Anyways, suffice to say, Pens fans may be getting slightly depressed. Silver lining is that the rest of the team is hiking up their hockey pants and givin'er and still managing to win games. Still, if you are feeling a bit blue, like me, this will bring a wee smile to your face.

Nooo Genoooo!

Karma is being a mother effing bitch to Evgeni Malkin (and the Pens) who was finally back in the lineup tonight after missing numerous games and the All-Star game. His return was marred by...another injury.Whyyyyyyyyy

UPDATE: Yeah, he's like, really injured. As in, tore both his ACL and MCL. WHYYY!

Whoopsies...

Rick "Glass Bones" Dipietro is out for 4 to 6 weeks with broken facial bones from the one timer shot to the face from Johnny.

As a side note, it's a big weekend for football fans obviously. I couldn't care less about football itself but I will be cheering for the Steelers because they are besties with the Pens. And what better a way to get ready for the cheering than with a Sloppy Roethlisberger, a la my fellow Canadians

Absolutely. Amazing.

There are just too many amazing things to comment about this. Johnny sticking up for Cookie. Flower just absolutely smiling from ear to ear. One punch knock-out. Just amazing.

Staal Sticks Up for Roomie

In tonight's Pens game, Brandon Prust gave Tyler Kennedy quick the hit and TK's road roomie Jordan came to the defense. In the scrum that ensued, Staalsy gave Prust a lil' punch to the face that knocked him down immediately. He was given a match penalty, a misconduct and may face further disciplinary action



Prust is actually being pretty mature about it - he's not being a whiner about getting punched in the face, he is saying it like it is. "I think it was just all reaction. I came in and hit a guy, he kind of came in to stick up for him. He just threw a punch and happened to connect."

I don't think Staaly should get a suspension, that's for sure. It was a scrum, he happened to punch the guy in the face, there didn't seem to be any intent to injure so come on.

However, what I do find ridick humourous is the close up of the punch when you can see that Marc Staal is sitting on the bench right in front of it, watching his broskie punch his teammate in the face. And his jaw just drops. Muahahahah

UPDATE: Nope, he's not getting a suspension and will be available to play tonight's game against the Islanders. Whew. 

Wooo BizNasty!!

Paul Bissonnette got his first goal of the year! Wooo!!!!

Legit Besties
