Do you know how sick I am of injuries? DO YOU? So infuriating. I just want my boys to rest up and feel better and be ready to play again!
Injury Analysis:
Most Worrysome/Nagging Injuries: Jeff Carter & Geno. Their teams really need these two supasta dingleberries and they should be all healed up by now, dammit!!!
Most Saddest Injuries: Jason Blake and Andy McDonald. Haven't these two guys been through enough, already? Jesus. Brent Burns was nearly inconsolable after it happened, though...
Most Pathetic/Retarded Injuries: Rick DiPietro and Drew Doughty. Really? RILLY? Hilarious. Pathetic, but hilarious. How much are they worth between them, technically speaking? Aren't they like 10-million dollar men or something? Right now they're not even worth a DQ Blizzard or a bowl of cold ramen. LAME!!!
Tanger just got 2 games. A lot of my fellow Pens fans are pissed off but I'm not, I think it's pretty fair. We just really don't need this right now with all the injuries.
Is DiPietro even worth mentioning at this point. That guy is just one walking perma-injury. I think we should only note when he ISN'T injured. It happens so much less often.
@EHisCDN: Totally agree re DiPi. There should be some sort of fantasy lottery based on him NOT being sick, injured or on his period.
Okay so the Seabs Bowling Extravaganza... Why does everybody look so damn good here? The venue looks snazz and everybody looks beyond amazing. Even Serious, who is not my type ever at all. And Car Bomb, who decided to wear his toof to the event. Vaguely charming, for a Yeti.
@Jennifer: Yoo Hoo. You didn't mention your boy Montador was a Pumpkins fan!
I have gotten so worried about injuries...I am convinced something is going to happen to Jeff Skinner...that every time anyone gets near him I am like "DON'T TOUCH HIM!!!!!!" I love hitting in hockey (of the checking kind not of the fisticuffs kind) and I am a basket case now when anyone gets checked.
File under joke I am the only one old enough to understand : CarBomb looks like he just stepped off the set of Chico and the Man.
I realize I am blessed to have the best looking team in hockey on my veritable doorstep. Across the board, there's a flavor for every taste. Interestingly my mom appears to be developing a crush on Jamal Mayers...hmm, mom, so much I don't know about you. From Benny Smith to even Carbomb, everyone's...wait for it Esbee....LOOOOOKIN' GOOOOODDD!!!!
I left for work today at 5am and I had watched this three times already. It really goes to show what they've been talking about all this young season--that the new and the old guys are meshing so well, already better than the whole of last season. I think it's because MG's bete noir Stanny picked character guys. And while I didn't know that Monty possessed a love for all things Billy, I find it sweet that he wore that perhaps to bond with the locals. It makes me hopeful that maybe--just maybe--between him and Carcillo I might have a chance. But mostly Monty. Okay, all Monty. (tho' Danny's Twitter is quite amusing...)
Onto the other topic at hand--doesn't this seem to happen at the start of every season? These dudes just go too hard (heh) out of the gate and their bodies say 'haha you stupid fuck, that's what you think...' I swore I thought Geno came back for a hot second. Well, better now than later on--get these aches and pains over with.
DiPietro is apparently held together by chewing gum and old, used band-aids. However, the wackjobs on the Island (and I never thought ANYONE there would be wackier than Mike Milbury) probably really believe he'll put together a Hall-worthy season yet.
Kesler's back in the lineup tonight!!
