“The No. 1 thing you want them to do is enjoy it. There will be nerves. They’ll go away pretty quickly, once you get a couple of shifts under your belt. But don’t try to do too much. I think, for a young player, when they get into a lineup, just play your game. Don’t try to do too much. Do the things that got you here. And enjoy the moment.”

GIF to LOL:

 

 

[Phil]

His middle name is GRAE!?!? :rofl:

[Sharpshooter]

His middle name is GRAE!?!? :rofl:

 

I looked on Wikipedia, can confirm.

[Ozzy]

When I see PDG in the lineup it makes my balls itch! :rofl:

[Sharpshooter]

The Penguins are such an annoying pissant team. I hate playing them. They're playing really well right now despite losing their last game.

[Keirik]

His middle name is GRAE!?!? :rofl:

 

I assumed it was a typo lol

[Bugg]

Eddy Blueger , Buzz Flibbet , Jacques Strzop and Huej Esshoull are all fake names, like Biggus Dickus, rather than actual people. I'm not fooled.

[josh]

fucking Brandon Cringe Dubinsky. His dad still combs his hair.

 

Honestly, I'd rather have a signed Crosby stick than the Rangers winning this game.

[Karan]

The Penguins are such an annoying pissant team. I hate playing them. They're playing really well right now despite losing their last game.

 

This. Especially this season, they've been especially annoying to play against. Despite Rangers having had stretches of strong play and momentum, fucking Penguins have always found a way to score that next goal and put the game away.

Teddy Blueger is 100% real lol.

Quoting for posterity and minor pride. Glad my little shenanigans occasionally get noticed.

[Ozzy]

 

This may just win the Ozzy "Drink of the night" post of the GDT, even before the game starts!!!

 

...gonna have to come up with some real sparklers to top this one, fellas!! :rofl:

[High and Wide]

"Huej Esshoull" :rofl:

[Keirik]

I think some of you people really need professional help. Lol

[Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc]

Honestly that Pitts team is brutal. How are they in a playoff spot? Its Crosby(Letang) and a bunch of JAG's.

[Sharpshooter]

This. Especially this season, they've been especially annoying to play against. Despite Rangers having had stretches of strong play and momentum, fucking Penguins have always found a way to score that next goal and put the game away.

 

Indeed. Actually, I thought the Rangers have outplayed the Penguins in almost all of the games this season. But, like you said, they just find a way to win and pull victories out of their asses.

Can you imagine going through high school with some of these names??? :rofl:

 

Those bus rides must've been funny as hell!!!
