Tarkus' Nonsensical Musings and General Bruhaha

Crowdog, I'm with you on that, big time.  I used to get pretty wrapped around the axle whenever my team lost, but, well, getting older tends to mellow one out.

I'm right there with you, Niner.  I used to go nuts when the Pens lost ... some of my tantrums were of epic proportions.  I turned a table or two into firewood in my day.  Of course, there used to be a lot more alcohol involved as well.  Haha

For me, I really started to calm down when I had children ... they always help me put things in perspective.

Happy belated birthday!

Happy birthday niner.

Went to my favorite bar where I witnessed the gators win 3 natinal championships in just over a year and guess what ? No, the 3 pitchers of beer and and nice ladies are not on my mind ...

THE Flyers WON!!!!   

AND though I think that although the talk earlier in the day that focused on Detroit or the West Penn team was very interesting, and there seemed to be mostly a pro Detroit sentiment, I think the EAST PENN FLYERS can take em!!!!!!

Downie:

We played football on January 1st for about 12 years until we reached 30 years of age. My old high school friends who won our city our senior year (Ottawa). We had blizzards, ice, minus weather and even fast hard tracks. Guys came back from all over Canada for our game. Several played pro. A few guys from the catholic school that was our big rival and lived in our neighborhood also played. Guys would mock the guys who put on ten punds and players would early on in the game start nominating guys for MVP of the game...and unfortunately, GOAT of the game. Miss a play in the first five minutes, and some "friend"would start suggesting we had an early favorite for the GOAT of the game.

Truly, Downie is up for GOAT of this series. He has made two very big turnovers in consecutive games! Sorry tarkus. I don't say this to challenge your point. Just to juxtapose your thoughts with a line of argument some might make. I am neutral, just throwing out there a sort of funny alternative line of thought.

..............or one shift at a time.

WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1975 baby

Yeah, Tark.  What's funny is the Pens almost killed off both penalties ... I think both PP goals were scored late in the PP ... I know one was scored with like 3 seconds left on it.  But alas, "close only counts in horse shoes and hand grenades."

The Flyers played good, but the Pens just played like donkeys until the 3rd period, and then it proved to be too little too late.  J. Staal was impressive, though ...
