So far the Pens went back to back 91 and 92. Then in 08 and 09 could it happen again? We didn't change coaches yet this season we may not win it this year !lol 

I like the Penguins chances, the Jackets are a few years away, the Rangers are aging and flawed, nobody in the other division is anywhere near as strong, it comes down to Washington and Pittsburgh and the Capitals always seem to find a way to choke. The Pens could run the table in the East, leaving them against whoever comes out of the West and the West is down this year as well. Crosby is the most complete player in the game today and the Pens returned the whole team, I like their chances.

At times I am not sure. If Sunday's game is an indication of the things to come I'm little worried! Murray is starting to play like Fleury which is starting to puss me off

Nope. Again didn't work. It's possible NHL Network might cover a replay of it.

If it don't work try the Pennsylvania Interscholastic

Hockey League (P.I.H.L.]

OK. Thanks, nfj.

Good!  I'm a Pens fan. We have to many Flyers fans! Nothing against them, just to many! Nice to have a fan of another team!

Let's enjoy and have lots of laughs conversing hockey! 

I would like it. I like the Pens because of Crosby and I wanted them to win last season after the Leafs was eliminated.

It seems that the Leafs have the Penguins number when the teams play each other in the playoffs! The Leafs won both series back in the '70s (only ones that I know of!)

Don't have to apologize, I am very close with the same beliefs! I hope Obama stays true to his word and sets Trump up for success! ( though doubtful). If he is true to his word, manufacturing will start to pick up in about 2years if not I'm guessing 3 1/2 years!

I just think Trump gets us back to reasonable finances and constitutional government.  Obama was a failed experiment and Clinton would be catastrophic. 

To bad Obama was elected twice (don't blame me I didn't vote for him, twice)! 

What I am hoping for is manufacturing to start back up! I'm hope steel comes back to Pittsburgh (I doubt it). Plus what is going on with education, steel would be a bonus! 

I'm hoping Obama care is repealed. (Is it possible?) Though I have healthcare through where I work it still cost me a nice penny!

Indeed they did.

Does Comcast own the Flyers and 76ers?

Just the Flyers

Happy Independence day!

Thanks. Same to you. In just a bit we will be having some people over for a good ol fashioned burger and hot dog grill. Haven't done one of those in a while.

Sounds exciting! I almost taste the good food! Have fun and enjoy your day! 

Thank you!

You're welcome.

I did some checking on the Lightning and they DO have a Matthew Peca (no relation to the Islander guy) on their AHL team. A smallish 23 yr old forward.

Still no Pecks though. hehe.

As always I must've been delusional! Oh well! Thanks again for being such a sweet heart! 

Don't know off the top of my head of any Vietnamese specific styles, but there are tons of kung fu styles out of China.

Wushu (sport kung fu), Wing Chun (traditional misdirection/striking style), and various animal styles for instance (monkey, mantis, leopard)...just to name a few that come to mind.

Don't know much about Chinese styles as I have never partaken in them, but I do know China has no shortage of varieties

Thanks for the information! I had a few conversation about this subject awhile back with some coworkers and it sparked some interest!

NP. I do like talking martial arts. Not something everyone either likes to talk about or know much about to be able to carry on a conversation with me for long about. But I don't mind answering questions (ones I can anyways) about it.

I am not a master by any stretch, but I have been involved to various degrees in it since I was about 7 years old.

Tae Kwon Do and Hapkido are more my thing.

I managed an Ea Dan ranking in both...2nd degree black...which is considered 'lower tier' among black belts, but I have been around and exposed to different people of different types of martial arts over the years (including my husband who was an Army Ranger), and have learned to keep an open mind about different ones and to try and at least understand what is behind what they practice.

I've even gotten involved for short periods in others outside my usual Korean styles just to get a taste of what they are like.

Japanese Ueichi-Ryu (traditional karate) and Jiu Jitsu (grappling/wrestling), Muy Thai (Kickboxing from Thailand), South American Capoeira (dancing style with lots of kicking...yes, I said DANCING...lol), Shim Shin Do (sort of a 'dirty version' of tae kwon do), and even good ol fashioned American boxing...these are some of the other things I've done in samples at different points to be able to say, "hey, I've tried that!"

As for my husband, I picked up some Krav Maga from him...I believe that is what the military uses in their hand to hand combat training.

LOL..sorry for the ramble. As you can see, I do love this sort of stuff.

As a mom now, I don't get that opportunity to do these things much, except incorporate them sometimes into my morning exercise routines.....I am trying NOT to be one of those moms who puts on a bunch of weight, then can't lose it again....probably vain on my part, but hey, I am not an old lady yet....

Hope you are safe and weren't driving! It was nice and peaceful here in Corapolis Pennsylvania! 

I hope 2019 is the brightest year ever for you.

Oh no worries....we spent New Years at home. Some people dropped by, they had their designated drivers, but I was allowed to drink stuff because the only thing I was driving was people crazy with my alcohol fueled corny jokes...  

Welcome to 2019!  Hope yours will be good to you as well

What do you 100 rabbits marching backwards?

Thanks! I only get a little proved at him when I think he should have made a save and didn't a key moment . I use hockey to vent a little frustration! 

We all do, in those first few years when he was flopping around like a fish I think I pulled most of my hair out. Now?  Well you have to give him is due so far. 

Yes agreed! And it's about time!

To bad we couldn't play and beat Philadelphia this year.

Thanks! I always wanted to know what was done with the money! I heard some where that curiosity killed the cat! I guess I'm dead! Lol

Well, lucky for you, cats have nine lives.

Of course, if you are curious a TENTH time...... 

Lol!

I was surprised somewhat to see Tocchet as a player and coach with the Pens! 

I cursed Recchi when joined the Flyers asking how he could do that? 

I wish Tocchet well in Glendale! That is a tough situation there!

Recchi was traded to Philly....for Tocchet. He didn't have much choice in the matter.

I can't imagine anyone having success in Arizona.

It seems that Barroway is treating the Coyotes as an expansion team! I believe he's trying to build this team from scratch! 

Yes! Thank you for the suggestion! I will add it!

You're welcome! I hope there is some laughs with this!

I'm  curious on your screen name? Does it refer to your profession? 

Yeah, they hired Gallant back in April.    He coached Florida for a while. 

Ok thanks! Sorry for missing a lot! Unfortunately I trying to correct a very bad time 15 years ago I am working two low paying jobs to try to make some money to retire! It's costing me the things I enjoy! Sorry to ask the stupid questions! 

Well questions cost $0 dollars, so don't worry about that costing your retirement fund. 

I didn't see that one, but the Dodgers are working some magic this season. I DID see the end of the game against he Diamondbacks where they trailed 4-1 going into the 9th and won it 5-4.  That game capped off a 3-game sweep of Arizona too.  

Looks like after a slow start, the Dodgers are for real after all this season. They showed a stat that said Los Angeles has 22 comeback wins this season already.

I also  heard that a few of them were at 4 runs! 

I was listening to ESPN here in PITTSBURGH, saying it maybe the DODGERS  and the Houston Astros in the World Series! 

I'm not sure if you have the internet on your cell phone, in case you do there is an app called Pro Baseball that allows you to listen to put of town games should not have access to a computer or television! There is also one called Pro Hockey! (In case you would like to listen to the Rays or Lighting.)

Also! Have you heard anything about the Coyotes New stadium? 

Hey, NFJ...sorry, didn't get to your request till now, but it looks like another mod already took care of it.

Thanks anyway! When I started it, I had a message saying I had to wait 7 seconds before posting so I did! It must have taken both! I hate when that happens!

You're such a sweet heart!

Nope, no more snow for me.  I'm officially a South Carolinian.    Instead of shoveling snow yesterday, I had to empty the sand out of my golf shoes. Its a tough life, but someone's got to do it. 

Good for you! Anywhere near Beaufort?

Myrtle Beach, probably four plus hours from Beaufort.

Haven't heard anything.  But then again, since the season has ended, I haven't been following much in the world of hockey.

Sounds good!

Btw, a belated happy birthday! I just noticed your bday of June 30!

Sorry, been out most of the day.

James Van riemsdyk right wing for the Leafs. Sorry about that.

Thanks! I'm curious on what you're sorry for? You probably with your better half and the little ones! No need to be sorry Your priorities are in order!

All good, my apologies, I was teasing an Oiler fan who constantly berates Eberle that he needs to get ahold of you about swapping Eberle for Fleury, lol, strictly meant to be a joke. I meant to send you a PM and make certain the comment did not offend as it was meant to be humor because I was worried it might sound a bit snarky on my part.

Take care,

Dave

I'll would love to take eberle for fleury! In fact I would take a pb&j sandwich for fleury!

I accidentally flagged a comment on Ryan Miller save on I think on Zetteburg! I was scrolling down and hit the flag by accident!

Why thank you very much, Mr. Greg!  Lots of happiness to you and your family this holiday season as well!

May 2017,be a better year for you!

No, he's just not in the lineup since both Maatta and Daly have come back.   Right now he's fighting for the 7th spot with Ruhwedel.  So unless someone gets hurt, he'll be in the press box. 

Thank you! I was wondering why he disappeared! 

LOL  No, why?

Their a half assed organization!

Merry Xmas to you too!

Greater joy and happiness in 2017!

I always get looks when asked my birth date and respond "six six six nine." People wonder if I am a Beast!

Strange thing: my former office manager's birthday was 6/6/66. Not kidding. 

That's hilarious! I'm sure your not the beast! My license plate number is 6660! Strange how numbers work!
