France is not ready for Yinzers to drop in and be like "I'm from North Versailles"

@MarkMaddenX MM would you take a flyer EP40 from VAN? He’s getting paid a boatload and for a long time but VAN can eat some of that and the Pens have the cap space to take that on. They can also get sweeteners from VAN for taking on that contract.

@Braylon_Breeze Very sorry for your loss, Braylon

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms out there. It’s my sixth without my mother here, as she lost her battle with cancer. Time is very precious and I’m grateful I get to spend some of mine sharing my life with all of you. Miss you always, Mom.

@MattGajtka True

@Bryan84Chechak Sometimes it’s appropriate to make an example of someone

About time Brind’Amour got dinged for unsportsmanlike. Guy runs his mouth to the refs endlessly

@MattGajtka Alas my nugget is debunked as Justin Williams was the standalone captain from 18-19

@Bryan84Chechak 2012, but yeah, it’s been a while. Also not sure he was the C right away

Still a pleasure to watch J. Staal play professional ice hockey

@MattGajtka I was saying “a” Staal has been a captain of that Franchise since 2010 when Eric took over for Rod then eventually Jordan was named after Eric moved on. Probably on a short list of teams with captains being from the same family and doing it for that period of time.

@Cory_Tucek If they get swept and have the same amount of 2nd round wins as the Pens in the 2026 playoffs, I take that as a win.

Flyers fans are waving the white flag and pretending they knew they were gonna get swept.

@MarkMaddenX Lease for PNC Park is up in 2030. I think that’s the reason he’s spending.

@MattGajtka @PghPensElite Yep he is a cousin and comes from a great family and household. It’s been cool to follow his development

@Bryan84Chechak @PghPensElite I forgot you know the family!

Good kid from a good family. @PghPensElite produces another USHL draft pick

@JoshYohe_PGH “Disco” Dan Muse ☹️

Rakell-Crosby-Rust Malkin-Novak-Mantha Chinakhov-Kindel-Brazeau Dewar-Lizotte-Acciari Wotherspoon-EK Girard-Letang Shea-Clifton

@MattGajtka I thought that too

Is it weird that I’m considering scratching 33-goal man Mantha

@MarkMaddenX Skinner isn’t gonna be able to stand on his head all series too. G1 should’ve been a blowout

One reality was apparent: Flyers are a young team. Pens are an old team w/a few young guys. Flyers showed a collective hunger the Pens need to match. Pens showed a stubbornness that must be discarded. How the Pens perform the rest of this series determines a lot moving forward.

Rays the Jolly Roger

@colin_beazley @_NoahHiles Kevin Correia

First rain delay of the season. Yinz know what that means. In @_NoahHiles' honor, let's all pass the time by naming a random pitcher from 2002 to today. I'll start: Chad Billingsley.

@MattGajtka @j_a155 I was just talking about this with my friend but how long can this “handout” or “legacy” job last. The final 2 mins with the Empty net was brutal. Doing minimal pxp, a ton of color and not capturing the moment at all

@j_a155 Yeah. It’s a handout for being a good soldier and ‘hockey guy.’

Just a *totally* random thought but ... a hockey play-by-play broadcaster saying simply 'SHOT' after a shot on a televised broadcast is adding nothing to the experience. Maybe identify the player; that's your most important job there. What do I know. I'm just sitting at home 👼

@MarkMaddenX On one hand you have Netflix killing kayfabe with all the behind the curtain content they have and then the same company has GetUp or First Take to further a storyline, makes no sense.

ESPN’s partnership with WWE is odd. But working kayfabe is over-the-top nuts.
