Yes, you read that headline right. It's a tip of the hat to person who will never read this. A buddy of mine's mother says that her favorite animal is the lovable pentguin. Which is hilarious to hear virtually every time. It also drives my buddy to question her, How can that be your favorite animal if you can't even say it right? Seriously, what's your favorite animal?
Pent-gwin.
Similarly, if Pittsburgh's Pentguins are in town, but Sidney Crosby isn't playing, are they really the Pentguins? Last year, when Crosby missed 22 games, the number two superstar on the team, Evgeni Malkin (who also came in second on draft day to Alexander Ovechkin) stepped up and led the team with well over a point-per-game pace to pick up Sid The Kid's slack. Will he pick up the pace starting tonight if he's expected to be the man again?
No idea. We do know that Malkin does have a future in acting though, as does Max Talbot.
If you want to see the other side's smartassy take, check out The Pens Blog. Those dudes got issues, which, of course, is why we like them. And we don't like anyone that isn't us.
Most of the writers will be in the rink tonight, so this here is your GDT. Enjoy and Let's Go Blues!

Things look to be off to a good start already. That Stempniak/McDonald/Boyes line was killer early on in the year. Also, I really like Walt on the LW much better than at center where’s he been at the last couple of games. Hopefully, I’ll be able to find an online stream for this one.
by Dan on Nov 1, 2008 4:43 PM CDT reply actions
Good to see Walt back on wing. And Alex is back as well. But the pairing of him and Wagner, shit. I’m going to be nervous when they’re in their own zone. I like to watch The Penguins play. This should be a fun one. Go Blues.

The 3rd line shouldn’t have any trouble going in the corners.
Congrats to Childhood Trauma for getting his first of hopefully many cartoons published in tonight’s GT.

Nice. Awesome I’m loving it. It all makes sense. Just pissed my marathon poker session left me with so little sleep I dared not venture to the game after winning enough to do so. The other thing? I kept hearing Crosby won’t play and so I figure okay I’ll catch him next….wtf he’s playing?
All right some Imo’s, the teley and me Blues; oh and of course my fellow Gametimers also at home sharing whatever’s about to come our way.

excellent play by Backes. he was lying on the ice and surrounded by Penguins and was still able to dump the puck in

too many men on the ice for pitts why can’t the refs call anything?

and on that same shots per game list, the Pens were like 4th or 5th last too. no doubt they’d be a lot higher if Gonchar and Whitney weren’t injured.

horse shit. we’ve been getting screwed by the NHL officiating lately. all I have to say is in an untelevised game last season against Phoenix at home Hinote hits Jovo, Jovo gets mad picks up Hinote and body slams him. No call. How the fuck that happened I still can’t explain but he WWF body slammed Hinote just as I’m typing an dposting this.

Look at that replay again, Marouelli, you assbag.
The puck was hit with a high stick, yes… by the PENGUIN player’s high stick! Tkachuk’s stick never touches that puck when it’s up over the crossbar. It’s #4, Scuderi, that knocks that puck down.
The Blues need to be protesting this one…

You know, normally I’d laugh at that kind of conspiracy talk, but the last 2 seasons, there’s just been too many outrageously shitty calls and non-calls to argue with. I’m sick of the Blues getting all the bad calls. When is our luck going to change?

when the NHL decides they are ready and the Hawks aren;t favored to be the darlings to make it being their an original six team. I hear you Dan. But last season it dawned on me after watching Jovo literally body slam, actually pick Hinote up and slam him and there was no call. Just like the Pats in the NFL. How does a team go a whole game without a penalty? It’s not possible. You think the Blues didn’t figure that out?

Thanks for the support Chris D. I just look forward to the day when The Blues are such a juggernaut that they can’t be held back by shitty calls. The day when they dominate the other team short-handed if need be.

Put this in the list of my favorite game day rituals: come home from the game and check the GDT. You guys are a fucking riot. After reading this, I’m not even mad they lost anymore.
Nice work, everyone.

I really liked your last article and I’m glad we could return the favor Sean. Speaking of Sean’s I’m unfortunate enough to get stuck with those douchebags Lex and Terry for a morning show. They interviewed Sean Avery this last week. It was a cruel joke that I had to listen to that shit. On the bright side, I have to laugh at the fact that they NEVER interview Stars players after a Stars loss…and they sure as hell didn’t mention a damn thing after the Blues trounced them 6-1. Sometimes, silence is golden.

So I just got back from the game, I had been looking forward to watching Crosby play since he’s one of those eastcoasters we hardly get around here. Well, I’ve now determined he’s a pansy bitch, and could care less what happens to him from here on out. Gets pissy cause he got pushed off the feet of Mason then throws a couple heavy pushes to the back of Backes (I think) head, when he gets shoved back he lets the big boys from his team play as he back off. Fuck him, Fuck the oficials from the past few nights, and most of all
Fuck Detroit.

Geez, what a frustrating game. I had great seats in the lower bowl, and witnessed the most douche-tastic move i’ve ever seen. Cindy Crosby cross-checks Pietrangelo after the play has been whistled dead, and then does a quick backstep to get behind an official before anyone can respond. I used to respect him. What a pussy. And, I’m still not sure why the goal was waved off. I mean, I heard the announcement, but i still don’t see it on the replay.

That goal was as close as it gets to a high-stick. Either way it was a great move by Tkachuk. I just tend to think it was one of those “Eh, it’s close. Let’s screw em.” calls.

With the waved off goal:
Puck comes from behind the net, get hits by a high stick, skates across the top pipe, drops in front where its wide open and then it got put in after it had taken a bounce off the ice.
Bah stupid refs, I’m becoming too much like my dad the more I watch this season and my increasing sinisism towards the NHLs attitude towards the Blues

Yah Crosby’s a bitch. Fuck Mason. Fuck Detroit and Fuck the Yuppies sitting in section 302 that would wait until after play starts up again to stand for 2 minutes and would just exclaim “How rude” when I yelled at them to sit down. Horrible game…congrats on 10,000 though.

high ankle sprain. Murray even says it sucks. that means oshie should be captain in my book.
How can we expect to win games when we don’t get enough shots ON GOAL? How can we win when Mason says he had trouble with traffic but needs to get into better position? WTF? Are you serious Mason? You haven’t figured out that there’s traffic in the NHL yet? Would about the one they banked in off of your skate from the side of the net? That’s piss poor position and should never happen from the short side. As a forward I’m always looking at the short side for the goalie to cheat because soon as they cheat it’s as easy as pie.
I started saying that Crosby was a bitch to my buddy late last season when I saw him whining so much the refs were telling him to fuck off. It’s embarrasssing and this is the kid so many little kids are looking up to, great marketing job NHL. I don’t care how good Crosby is(he’s getting better and better which is sick), someone needs to tell the fucking premadonna to shut the fuck up and play the game. If Gretzky played the game hard do you think no one wouldn’t go back hard at him because he was so talented? Happy horseshit. The unwritten rule think never has applied to any individual once they play a certain style they open themselves up. Crosby is an incredibly skilled power forward which means he’s going to have to take it if he’s going to give it.
Berglund’s first goal last night came off the Penguins player’s stick which would negate Tkachuk’s highstick if Tkachuk even touched the puck which in replays looked iffy at best.
Fuck Rutherford of the post-disgrace for not making issue of the horrible officiating and bad play from Mason in last night’s game.

Crosby is a good player and all, but stop being a bitch. Step up and play like a man. You’re a good player, you’re going to be a target, don’t like it, then don’t play. You little whiny ass. I loved how Jax played against him last night, it was great. Why couldn’t Backes just reach through and give him a good punch. Damn, I like Sid, but he’s quickly pissing me off more and more. And you know, there’s other great players out there, market them for fuck sake. The refs are playing favorites, and it’s not The Blues. Delay of game, from the bench. WTF! Oshie got hurt, Berglund scored the 10,000th goal, twice. Damn. I’m done now. One more thing, Fuck detroit.

This sucks, Teej could be out for 6 weeks or more. If it’s a more serious high ankle sprain, he could require surgery and be out for even longer. What a kick in the nuts.

Brewer’s… Brewer, but he was a victim of the Golden Crosby rule last night. I don’t understand how you get called for holding with an open hand on somebody’s chest. It’s got to fuck with your head out there… no matter what happens, what you do gets whistled, and what happens to you gets ignored. Anybody see one of the Blues get speared at the end of that scrum involving the Golden Boy? Anything called? I suppose that we should be happy we didn’t get a match penalty for excessive bleeding.
Jeez… I had no idea Bettman had enough of a clue to hold a grudge. The past two games have been horribly officiated. Referees have the discretion to not call a penalty if it does not affect play. If it happens far behind the play, and isn’t an act of violence, don’t call it. That, I get. Somebody getting the shit hooked out of them on a rush, call it. That is, unless you’re wearing a Blues uniform. The team is supposed to be the worst team in the league according to all the so-called experts, therefore, the NHL has to make it happen. God forbid that Pittsburgh with Sid the Kid should lose to a bunch of nobodies. That’s what happens when your power play is actually a weapon. Last year, they might call a few because the odds that the blues would score a goal as a result were low. This year, the power play’s been too productive, so they don’t call penalties.
And why the hell do they hate Perron so much?
Rebuilding through solid drafts doesn’t seem to be worth a lot to the NHL, only drafting the next superstar, the next face of the league matters any more.

Its always been in the back of my mind for the last 15-20 that the league has a grudge against the Blues. From Judge Houston and Lou Lamarillo hosing us for signing Brendan Shanahan to an offer sheet, to all of the non calls of the last few games. Im not one for conspiracy theories…..but we obviously pissed someone off in the NHL front office. I mean, its like if the Cardinals went out and signed Manny Ramirez and we had the possibility to lose Albert Pujols because of it….whats the point of improving your team? And I know the strike was supposed to help fix this (15 years too late I might add) but will it?
