Seriously? I’ve never had a good experience there and I heard it hasn’t improved since the smoking ban.

Would be cool to meet some Rink Rats though. Any chance they will have game audio on?

Oh, I was kidding. It’s a fun place, honestly, and I hadn’t gone before the smoking ban, but smoking bans would only improve a place in my opinion (Yay asthma!)

But yeah, I’ve only been twice, for JR functions both times, and enjoyed both.

It’d probably be ok, but there’s an amount of swearing that was going on. I know personally I can curtail it around kids, but I don’t know about everyone. It got a little loud, but not too loud.

Ha. We were pretty nice to dociavelli, and I actually like you. You should be safe.

Now let's say you and I go toe to toe on bird law and see who comes out the victor.

I far prefer those Blue jerseys to the black and gold. Too much fucking black in the NHL.

In Pittsburgh at a game. you’ll see more blue jerseys than the RBK Edge black and gold ones. So not exactly.

yes, I think after the Winter Classic, the Pens lost every time they wore baby blue until very recently.

How does that differ from the Pens over the last decade?

Yeah, the one that’s won 11 playoff series in the past 10 seasons.

7 in the past two years. For most of the decade the Igloo was among the worst attended stadiums in the league.

A Pens fan in my office despises the baby blue jerseys. Absolutely hates them.

OT Hockey 2/8
Evgeny Kuznetsov hams it up as he joins the Russia men's national team for the "Sweden Games" leg of the Euro Hockey Tour in Helsinki, Finland.

There's a bit of controversy as their game against the Finns is scheduled to be played in Helsinki's outdoor Olympic Stadium.   Where the daytime temps are currently approximately minus-15 degrees Celsius, with periodic heavy snow.

This interview with head coach Zinetula Bilyaletdinov is fascinating, as he frets about the weather and especially when the reporters press him on the leaked reports that Kuznetsov will be centering the top line for Team Russia, just weeks after his 20th birthday.
