Countdown to the NHL NWO

And so it begins...

Pesonen hurt 5-6 weeks

Goaltenders in the KHL are getting a vacation for the next 5-6 weeks as Janne has been sidelined with an undisclosed injury...

Pesonen Hurt

HAHA

Hockey + MMA = WIN (JAGR FIGHT!!!!)

If the KHL puts on more shows like this they might surpass the NHL quicker then we thought. The main thing i want to know, Jags is on Avangard... Was he involved in this fight?

CONFIRMED...

The future is now...

The Koon is injured, everybody is gonna start saying things like, "imagine how good he is gonna be healthy," I personally don't care, i'm saying, get the Poot in there if he plays well, dump some salary... Although I am more excited about Eric Tangradi being a top line player (I personally feel that Poot is a borderline top 6 forward), I am excited about his general tendency to sit in front of the net and cause havok, which is something we need right now....

Olympic Snub...

Sadly we will not be seeing Janne don the Blue and White to represent Team Finland in the Olympics... This is very sad seeing that Janne has had fairly good success the last couple of years in International Hockey. No word why the Finnish Hockey Commission decided to pass over Janne, but if we hear anything we will keep you posted.

We here at Pesonen and The Pens would like to formally express our dissatisfaction with the decision making of Team Finland Hockey this year for the olympics. If you lose an important game by 1 goal, we will be the ones in the blogosphere waiting to say I told you so...

Janne report....

Janne has quietly scored goals in 2 straight games with 11 for the season. Ak bars has been playing some of best hockey of the year as of late...

Janne avg about 14 mins a game and is 4th in goals behind Morozov, Zaripov and Kazionov

Winter Crappic...

Leave it to the NHL to take an idea that was so great and just run it into the ground... Two years ago the pens vs the sabers was not a big rivalry, but it was a big deal cause it was the first winter classic. Everybody wondered, how could they follow the first one... And they did, they found one of the best rivalries (of all time and at the time) and put it on ice in Chicago... Then everybody was like, man I hope the winter classic is not like the Godfather where 1 and 2 were awesome and 3 was a total waste of film... And guess what!!! Yeah, that's what happened... They took two teams that have little to no history with each other, two teams, which were considered overachievers last year, and threw them into a baseball stadium that isn't that great for baseball let alone hockey... When I heard the bruins name being tossed around all i could think about is Bruins vs Canadians, yeah the habs aren't that good right now, but who cares, the Winter CLASSIC, it's about the long standing history and tradition of hockey... Anyways, I am sure that next year they will drive it even further into the ground (if this years Winter classic is the godfather 3, think of next year as that parody movie with Jay Moher Mafia!), maybe it will be the battle of california, The Ducks vs The Kings... It'll be the first NHL game played on roller blades... Anyways here are a list of the games that I would like to see a winter classic for...

1. Pittsburgh vs. Philly at Beaver Stadium - this is wet dream for Pens or Flyers fans, pick a great venue right between the two, add some snow, and let the fists fly. This will not happen (at least as a winter classic game) for some time now due to the fact that they have already played in one each, but wouldn't it be great.

2. The battle of alberta - I can see it now, a football stadium in Canada, one half all wearing Oilers blue and one side all rockin the red (they did it first capitals so shut up). This would be a classic battle, and it would be an amazing atmosphere. They will probably never do it cause NBC hates canadians as much as don cherry hates europeans though...

3. Toronto vs the Habs - This is another rivalry that has lost its luster due to the consistent under achieving of both teams, but it is a classic one none the least. This game has less of an opportunity than #2

4. Subway series - Islanders vs Rangers - Yeah new york sucks, but it would be cool to see these teams go at it in NYC. Especially with Gabby's new found health and the star that is JT... this could be an actual possible game in the future

5. Avs vs Detroit in the mile high city - this would be awesome, detroit already cashed their winter classic coupon in, so it's not possible for a while, but it'd be great... Especially in Roy is the honorary goaltender and gets in a fight...

Anyways i can't thikn of anymore off the top of my head, any thoughts? Honestly I assume the next one is going to be the capitals vs somebody because the capitals fans tears are screwing with the infrastructure in DC and causing Public Works to go bankrupt and the US government is stepping in so they don't have to bail out somebody else... The thing about the Crapitals is all their rivals (other than the pens) are southern teams so i can't see that being terribly interesting...

Pens new third revealed

So if you didn't know Rob Rossi reported that this year will be the last year for the 3rd jerseys that we have come to know and loath (for their losses not their aesthetic value).... The whole chat is here...

Anyways, after hearing that, we here at PATP tapped into our sources to see if we could get more information... Well what do you know, one of our sources had more information than we would ahve ever expected...

After our "Donald Southerland in JFK"-esque meeting we have the first look at the new 3rd jersey for next season!.... scroll down to see it




























































THEY'RE BACK!!!!!

Justice Sweet Justice...

Ovechkin went after somebody's knees again... Although this time he was the one limping off the ice... Seriously the NHL needs to make an example out of this clown now... You have Cooke get suspended, Laraque got suspended 5 F*CKIN GAMES FOR THE EXACT SAME THING. But no, the NHL is not gonna take action and Ovechkin will get better and he will keep running people down and injuring players because that's how the NHL works and that's the kind of guy he is... I have the highest amount of respect for his abilities on the ice, but the way he plays the game sometimes in unacceptable and shows a complete lack of respect for the other players on the ice... If he doesn't get suspended he deserves to be injured for a while...
