Pacioretty gets 3 games. Letang, meanwhile, is heading back to Pittsburgh for "further evaluation." So much for that "having our entire team healthy" thingy. It was fun while it lasted for 4 games.
.
Empties Crushed concurs.
Some circles have poked fun at Shanahan and his demeanor in these videos. And that's cool. But we kinda like the new system and "Department of Player Safety." He may not always get it right, but at least he's explaining the thought process. And that's better than Colin Campbell's goonish response, which was always:
"What do you know?! You never played HOCKEY."
...randomness surrounding Guided by Voices, Robert Pollard, and other great indie rock bands; a quasi objective look at "my" sporting teams; the random horror film; plus other crap as we see fit...all with a Pittsburgh based feel.

Stillers win, but are lame in doing so.
What a shitfest of a game. Can't believe I passed up the season finale of The Walking Dead for this. I hate Sunday Night Football. Steelers were a play away from losing to the worst NFL team ever. If Dwayne Bowe had arms, they might have.
Pens stun Habs
taken from Pensblog (awesome)
Kris Letang gets his head taken off and nose smashed by a completely legal head crunch from Max Pacioretty. He returns for the OT to get the game winner. Stud. Too bad he can never win the Norris Trophy since Niklas Lidstrom still exists.
Stupéfait...
young Sidney Crosby hater...
Nick Foligno wants to make out with your goalie
Not sure who's more irrelevant, Nick Foligno or the Senators. Pens got back to kicking ass on Friday, taking down the Sens 6-3. #87 had 3 assists without even trying. Staal's a beast. Malkin's a beast. Gonchar was there. Konopka dropped a turd on the ice. Foligno accidentally tripped over Fleury 9 times. Sid elbows Foligno.
That's some brutal shit right there. So Brian Murray chirped, and slobbered, and whined...
A lot of hot air there mixed in with the spit, but to summarize: "Refs sucked and we're gonna dress Neil and Carkner next time because I hate Crosby." How do you know when nobody cares? When you have to beg a hoard of reporters to ask you a question.

ESPN utilizes the ear muffs, bleeps the "FCKYA"
harking back on Sid's first game back, ESPN is concerned about your kid's sensitive ears eyes.
FCKYA! Think I actually heard some folk criticizing the Sid for this verbal reaction, one that is pretty common for him.
We made it to our first game of the year last Wednesday, and unfortunately, there weren't enough FCKYA's in Sid's 2nd game of the year. Puffy Ken Hitchcock (the original "Sid dives" whiner guy) has his new Blues team playing pretty good pucks. Our Pens lost and we were sad. So we boozed.

Harbaugh vs. Harbaugh
catching up on the last week...
This must've been an exhilarating NFL game on Thanksgiving night. We didn't see it, but word on the streets:
Douche beat Dick by a final score of 16-6. Ray Ray probably danced and forced some shit in front of the cameras.

All is right in the world again. Sid's back.
Your captain returns tonight, kids.
The Pens insist there was no set date for 87's return, and it was simply a matter of doctor's clearance. We want to think this is the big F.U. to that dick Garth Snow. Yeah...remember last spring when the Islanders and their fans thought they were relevant for a couple of days?
One of the best teams in the NHL just got the best player in the world back. Meanwhile, the Isles are back in their normal position in the standings...the bottom of the barrel. This is an organization that wanted to celebrate their fight filled / cheap shot affair with Pens last spring, which kinda supports the league-wide theory that they are a joke. A peak at the Isles current roster shows that some of the neanderthals that took part in the thuggery aren't even around anymore. Zenon Konopka was exiled to Ottawa. Michael Haley is flipping burgers at Wendy's. And Trevor Gillies was deemed worthless and subsequently waived last month. But with a dildo like Snow at the helm, nothing would surprise. The Isles may have some other animals laying in the weeds. Let's hope Bylsma dresses Steve MacIntyre tonight just in case.
Just read over at Pensblog that Zibby Michalek is back tonight, too?!?!
Our first fully healthy roster since the beginning of time?!?!?!?
The NHL's collective bum just puckered.

3 Points!! (John Terry stunned)
I love my Glen Johnson. A HUGE 3 points at Stamford Bridge. No...it's doesn't mean we'll win a title. But if you said in August that beating Arsenal and Chelsea on the road would help secure a Champions League spot, you probably weren't factoring in home draws to Norwich and Swansea. The latter sucks. But beating Chelsea today in the 87th minute was a glorious triumph.
Roman Abramovich doesn't own Chelsea. King Kenny does. 9-0-3 career record for the King against those wanker Blues.
btw: Andy Carroll was a waste of 35 million lbs. But at least it's still a net gain of 15 million from the more expensive waste of Fernando Torres.
Next Week: MAN SHITTY comes to Anfield for another 11am-er on Sunday FSC. Man U supporters are welcome.

More stuff we missed bloggin this summer...
during our little vacation...
We did not miss out on the double record, though, which rocks. Empties Crushed is proud to say we submitted some of the live video you see in that clip.

We don't see the problem...
Miller is WAY outside of his protective crease area. He's playing the puck. The hit isn't malicious, it's not high to the head, it's body on body. Lucic doesn't leave his feet. It probably would've caused more damage had Lucic tried to avoid the hit, and ended up having a knee-on-knee type of collision. For chrissakes, the dude is wearing a sumo suit!!!
I know Miller is embarrassed, because he looks pretty silly as he swings around with his stick flailing, and emo hair looking all sloppy and floppy. And it's unfortunate Buffalo doesn't have anyone to stand up to Lucic. But this appears to be a little bit of a whineberg moment for Miller.
Dry your eyes, and quit with the talk of a concussion. Our bet: now that Lucic has been dismissed by Sheriff Shanahan without a suspension, Miller will be back in net for the Sabs next game, and there will be no more concussion talk. He's fine...just some wounded pride from Mr Emo.

Steelers "Scoreboard Guy" angers John Harbaugh...
...calls Ravens QB Joe Montana a little girl. Can't believe our "scoreboard guy" would do such a thing. John Harbaugh is known worldwide (outside of Baltimore) as the whiniest bitch-boy in the NFL. But in this case, we agree with him. "Scoreboard Guy" needs to choose his placement of Lynyrd Skynyrd tunes more wisely. We don't know what he was thinking. What a jerk.
