Tattoo on the back...might as well be a bullseye

Sweet new tat, Ovie:

Oh, wait, nevermind. That tatoo blows. And you're a tool.

"If you wanna play pond hockey with the Penguins,

go ahead. Good luck." - Bob Errey


There's really only one way that game could have ended, and that was with serious, gunslinging hockey. Empty Netters, Puck Huffers (we are secretly in love with Kim and Zoë. Don't tell anyone) and the Pensblog have gotcha covered with the recaps.

Watch this clip, then watch the one where Ovie goes to hit Orpik and then goes flying, and then watch a highlight reel of everything Crosby has done in the postseason.

Crosby>Ovechkin
Fleury>Varlamov
Pens>Caps

Rock the Red on the golf course, boys. Great Series.

When you hit someone, THEY'RE supposed to go down

You dumb douche

That makes us really, really happy.

Sorry this has become somewhat of a hockey blog; but when you're down 2-0 in a series and you play a game like that, we can't help it. That and hockey is pretty much all that is on any of our minds. Anybody see how Malkin played last night?

In other news, we would like to address some sports superstitions with our six readers.

• From now on, we will no longer have a pregame post. This includes mocking the Caps, pics of LL Cool J in Pens gear, or any analysis on anything Penguins. A movie review of March of the Penguins isn't even going to be posted.
  
• I will now have to be holding a rolled-up sports page from the PG every game. That's just the way it goes.
  
• A few of us no longer can wear Pens gear during the game. This includes the Penguins Labatt Blue hats.
  
• Most importantly, one of the authors of this blog has to drink at least 3 IC lights on game day. Shouldn't be a problem. Wouldn't be a problem if the number was 8, to be quite honest.
  

That is all for now. Go Pens.

In American you have Joe the Plumber... In Russia we have Ovechkin the douche

Only difference is Joe isn't licensed plumber but Ovechkin is licensed douche.

Puck drops at 1. The series that Gary Bettman and the NHL are creaming themselves over... NBC doesn't give two shits though and is more than willing to cut away from overtime in favor of the grand 'ol spectacle that is horse racing.

This will be another hard fought series for the Pens, and as much as we all may hate him Ovie is the type of player who can change the series in a heartbeat. That's what happens when you take two or three dozen shots per game... just don't ask him to back check.

Just like the Flyers series (any guesses to Mike Richards handycap?) this will come down to goaltending. Who would you rather have between the pipes MAF or Varlamov? One has been in the Cup Finals... two wins away from Lord Stanley. The other stopped a bunch of shots from a lackluster Rangers team that had no business taking that series as far as it went.

Pens in six.
