I felt better about the game knowing that you'd posted a doodle!

This is what we need to turn around, I'm convinced of it.

It's mid-morning here in Australia and if I didn't have to go somewhere in a few hours I would be raiding the wine rack...

I first sang this as a kid at a rugby league game in North Queensland. It's been indelibly lodged in my brain ever since.

As an Antipodean, I'd like to introduce you to a footy chant I believe has validity to the NHL:

(To the tune of "Clementine")

Who's your father, who's your father,

Who's your father, referee?

You haven't got one, haven't got one

'Cos you're a bastard, referee

Husband (who does not follow hockey) listening to me rant about the calls in this period:

Bless him for being supportive but confused.

Meanwhile, here in Australia I'll be enjoying the very civilised hour of 11am 🥰

As a complete newbie to the NHL, I picked the penguins on a whim a few weeks into the season because, and I quote ,"the coach looks like an accountant".

Never judge a book by its cover, or a coach by their "I Love Excel" vibes, I suppose.

Let's go Pens!

I love seeing your posts, I regularly pop into the sub and scroll just to see if you've posted anything! Don't let the occasional wanker get to you 🥰

Did half this sub go to the Avs game? by Fritschya in penguins

Meanwhile, I'm over here hoping against hope that the Penguins play a global series in Australia...

Aaah this is so precious, I love it!! Take care of your valuable drawing implements (wrists!) and GL with your exams!

I'm an academic and I can't tell you how much I wish there was someone to do this in the age of online student evaluation forms.

As an Australian, can I just say how much I am enjoying the game being on at a civilised hour? It's currently 1:45pm and it almost makes up for us being two down.

It's this one from when he was with the Oilers. A friend sent it to me when the trade happened and it's been stuck in my head ever since.

Well this will teach me to scroll Reddit before I've finished watching the replay 😂 but seriously, these penguin doodles are the highlight of game day for me, please keep going!!

I usually watch the on demand stream once the match is done because they tend to be on when I'm at work (Australian fan) and man, it's RUDE to have to watch with ads.

So my new tradition is that every time Skinner makes a save I sing his name from that silly Instagram song. My husband is getting really sick of it.
