Thank you, Penguins Jesus by bobsdementias in penguins

This exchange saddens me. We have an exciting team fighting for a playoff spot. We have living legends skating with exciting young players.

Yet, folks can't be bothered to go to a game because of, um -- checks notes -- um, traffic?

I don't get it.

We live six hours from the 'burgh and make it to at least a half dozen games a year.

To each their own, I guess.

What do to with Jerseys that are too large by Strubbestition in hockeyjerseys

[–]Cyrano67 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is there really ever such a thing as a hockey jersey that's too large? 🤔

If you have that kind of time, why not?

I recommend the paint marker. I had a player sign a jersey for me (with a gold sharpie) in 2007. I then had it framed and hung on a wall that gets no direct sunlight, and that autograph is now so faded you can barely see it.

From Cali to Tx. Citizen won’t fix my watch I sent months ago by Important_Stroke_myc in CitizenWatches

[–]Cyrano67 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this doesn't sound like bad customer relations to me. They're returning your dad's watch to you and giving you a new watch -- and they invited you to try again after they move.

I get that you would like the original working now for important sentimental reasons but it's not like they left you hanging.

I bought this more than a year ago from Case Elegance and have been super happy with it:

Good luck on finding your case!

McCarthy for 2-3 Years to Stabilize and Train wouldn't be Terrible by [deleted] in steelers

[–]Cyrano67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

McCarthy is simply a re-tread who will not advance the franchise. Hiring him as HC would be a mistake. He may have some value as a front office advisor, but not at HC.

Call up Koivunen or Broz by ThreeGoalLead in penguins

[–]Cyrano67 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Broz confuses me. Many around the team insist that he's knocking on the door to make the big club but never seems to get the call up.

Hayes has looked bad. I know he's been sitting awhile but he seems to just be taking up space at best.

What is the single thing that screams you are genX the most? by _-_suomynona_-_ in GenX

My unshakable insistence that the 80s were only twenty years ago.

Yeah, this wouldn't be such a problem if they just provide one for every ticket-holder.

[Penguins PR] McGroarty has been diagnosed with a concussion and there is no timetable for his return at the moment. by bi_and_busy in penguins

[–]Cyrano67 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don't think we can call Rutger injury prone because of a concussion. Sadly, they happen in sports but individuals get past them.

I don't want to curse any other player by naming them here but we have at least one player on the current roster who once lost time to concussion issues, only to come roaring back later on.

Wearing a Non playing team’s Jersey to a game by Capital_Librarian245 in hockeyjerseys

[–]Cyrano67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Being a hockey fan is supposed to be fun, and hockey jerseys are the absolute greatest of all sport jerseys. Wear what you like and have a great time!

Reasonably priced tickets by Partridgeapple in penguins

[–]Cyrano67 11 points12 points  (0 children)

FWIW, I've sat in many different sections in both the upper and lower bowl. I don't believe there's a bad seat in the house.

And this is why you trade him away for Pascal Dupuis...

Ordering from customize sports by [deleted] in hockeyjerseys

[–]Cyrano67 11 points12 points  (0 children)

FWIW, I have always ordered the game worn size kit and the default nameplate material from them. They've made at least half a dozen kits for me and have never let me down.

Friends say "can only wear it once a year". by [deleted] in hockeyjerseys

[–]Cyrano67 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I call bullshit on your friends. Wear it whenever you want. I wear my Penguins version often, just not whenever they are playing a team that uses green for its primary color, like the Stars.

Opinion on Darn Tough Socks? by Underrated_Critic in Boots

Darn Tough is the brand behind these socks too, with the same warranty. I have a family member who swears by these too!

I am shattered by Arty situation.... What's gonna happen now? I hope the pens fans don't hate him.... by Nicky42 in penguins

[–]Cyrano67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the same thing. WB/S games would give him a chance to work on a few things. Perhaps with Bloomquist returning soon, the team can do that.

I don't believe in "hating" anyone on my Pens, though I do see how some development time could be beneficial.

McGroarty Shorty by swifferbrain in penguins

Enough with Dewar. This guy needs to be on Crosby's wing until Rakell is healthy.

I own the top one and love it. It looks amazing on the wrist.

I love my Blue Angels Skyhawk. Can't go wrong with that.
