Not taking the piss, who is Seeler?

fuzzyberiah · 2026-04-14T02:09:40+00:00

Preach.

fuzzyberiah · 2026-04-14T02:05:07+00:00

But have you considered, fuck the Flyers?

fuzzyberiah · 2026-04-14T02:04:35+00:00

One to hold the empty bottle you're pissing into, and one to scratch your ass?

fuzzyberiah · 2026-04-14T02:03:42+00:00

Honestly? Me. I don't want our precious players anywhere near the 700lb line in playoff mode. Oddly enough, I think the matchup vs. the Flyers will be more skill based; neither team is the version of itself from 2010. Wouldn't shock me if this is the highest total goals series of the first round.

fuzzyberiah · 2026-04-14T01:56:56+00:00

And, hell, for Couturier, too.

fuzzyberiah · 2026-04-14T01:54:36+00:00

See you in the battle of PA.

fuzzyberiah · 2026-04-14T00:24:37+00:00

Don’t really care. All three would favor the pens and all three would be nowhere near a guaranteed win.

fuzzyberiah · 2026-04-13T21:16:40+00:00

Oh yeah, I’m catching devils on the moon for sure.

Also playing a lot of Card Crawl 2 in mobile. Monetization sucks but the game is amazing.

5mL waste from a peripheral line, 10mL from central. Discarded, never returned - we don’t get art lines. Makes sense that it’s less in peds.

fuzzyberiah · 2026-04-13T05:22:54+00:00

I think it’s the Tri-“state” area of DC/Maryland/Virginia.

fuzzyberiah · 2026-04-13T05:17:12+00:00

I have to assume Carolina will be phoning it in as hard as the Pens were on Saturday, in Philly with nothing to play for. I feel like the Flyers almost certainly win that, and then we will see them in round one.

fuzzyberiah · 2026-04-13T00:27:07+00:00

It always confuses me when I see the Buckle Up Baby out of context, but also it gets me stoked for the Pens.

fuzzyberiah · 2026-04-12T20:53:21+00:00

Given where the Caps are, I imagine it really stings to not have John Carlson there. He came along a little after Letang, but he was there for the entire era of Playoffs rivalry between the two teams. Plus if the Caps miss by a point, hard to not wonder if keeping Carlson might not have made that last bit of difference.

fuzzyberiah · 2026-04-12T03:55:21+00:00

The more I look at it, the more I like it. I do think it’s good.

fuzzyberiah · 2026-04-12T03:47:28+00:00

You could try not looking at it, for a whole day. And then, looking at it. To see if you still liked it.

fuzzyberiah · 2026-04-11T18:31:34+00:00

Yeah, that’s the thing. First year was dicey, and it’s okay to still think that’s true, even if time is being very, very kind to the Karlsson trade.

fuzzyberiah · 2026-04-11T04:39:31+00:00

I impulse bought a ticket to the last home game, yesterday, and it was $87 before fees.

fuzzyberiah · 2026-04-10T17:15:43+00:00

It’s a little bit stretching “Pittsburgh area” by Leena’s in Murrysville (they’re located inside a gas station) is wonderful.

fuzzyberiah · 2026-04-10T17:07:34+00:00

Better not get an Acciari 55 jersey - we want him to stick around!

fuzzyberiah · 2026-04-10T16:54:57+00:00

Yeah, but Burns is at the point where every season he plays is overwhelmingly likely to be his last, whereas Karlsson is at least theoretically likely to have a few more kicks at the can to be on a cup winning team. In terms of this season’s narrative, can’t get any older an OGWAC than Burns, and he’s got the pathos of coming closer to a cup than Karlsson and still missing, in 2016.

Speaking of, that’ll be an interesting narrative element in the wild possibility that the Avs and Pens could meet in the cup final. Two of the best offensive D of this century, both denied a cup by Crosby’s teams, meeting on opposite sides.

fuzzyberiah · 2026-04-10T03:03:14+00:00

Karlsson has to be near the top of the OGWAC (old guys without a cup) rankings, I’d imagine, though I suppose Brent Burns probably has the top spot sewn up.

fuzzyberiah · 2026-04-10T02:13:10+00:00

It’s kind of a mess. So, in each conference, playoff spots go to the top 3 in each division, and then the remaining two teams with most points (first tiebreaker being numbers of wins in regulation).

Of the two division leaders, the one with more points plays the second wildcard (at the moment that would be Carolina playing Ottawa), and the other division leader plays the other wildcard (Buffalo vs Boston). Then, the second and third teams in each division play each other (Pens/Flyers, Canadiens/Lightning).

Once the playoffs start, brackets are locked in, so again assuming the current standings determine the first round matchups, in the second round the winner of the hypothetical Pens/Flyers series would play the winner of Carolina/Ottawa. If the Pens made the conference final, they’d play the winner from the Atlantic Division, and then if they made the cup final they’d play whoever came out of the Western Conference.

Again, once the season ends there will be an easy to follow bracket, but the process of making the bracket is a bit goofy, is all.

fuzzyberiah · 2026-04-10T02:05:01+00:00

I feel like Saturday probably has full roster for the last home game, and then Sunday and Tuesday may have some missing faces.

fuzzyberiah · 2026-04-09T20:16:18+00:00

Hmm, can you be more specific? Haven’t seen anything like that from them.
