Have a nice trip, Doob. Take a helicopter Uber if you get the chance, and base jump out of a skyscraper's balcony swimming pool, or whatever they do over there.

Have fun Doob, and be safe. Drive a Maserati or a Lambo over there if you get a chance

Helicopter Uber....that would be awesome. Start a trend and call it Duber!

UberCHOPPER Takes Off At The Grand Prix | Dubai

Apparently UberChopper is a general service in big cities. I think they have it in New York, too. Typically only on weekends, though.

Dübercopter?

 

[Darkstone42]

Dupuis not on the bench. Hope it's just maintenance.

Sharks are pushing back, but the Pens have looked pretty good tonight. Warfosky's looked pretty good on the blue line from what I can tell, too. Bennett's playing an especially physical game, and our fourth line has looked outstanding.

 

[Darkstone42]

Love that play by Bennett, Kunitz, and Perron to notch the powerplay goal.

 

[Darkstone42]

Warsofsky needs to be our top powerplay defenseman. He has to be. He's got amazing instincts with the man advantage.

Geno is now tied for the league lead in points (19) with Jeff Carter & Alexander Ovechkin. I don't think anyone in the league has been more valuable to his team than Geno this year, we would be sunk without him.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Funny thing is that as much of a beast Geno was tonight, this is actually just an average game for him. I'm saying this as someone who has Geno on my fantasy team, this is really just another night for him.

 

[Darkstone42]

When Geno's hot, no one in the league is better than him. I just hope he finds the recipe to stay hot all year, since consistency has always been the challenge with him.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Messed up, Geno isn't tied for the league lead in scoring. I have no idea why Fox Sports said he was.

[scoutyjones2]

Pens score 5 goals and Skid has 1 SOG. Can we please remove him from the team and trade him elsewhere? Hopefully some other team still believes he's worth a dam?!

 

[Darkstone42]

Someone mentioned Sid needs someone who can carry the puck on his wing. Kunitz can't do that anymore, and it was never part of Hornqvist's game. I wonder if moving Perron onto Sid's wing would work. Perron on the left, Hornqvist on the right. Geno's already got another puck carrier in Kessel, and Perron's been relegated to net-crasher on that line. I think it would be a better use of his skills to put him with Sid and try to jump start him. Kunitz would be fine on Geno's left since he wouldn't have to carry the puck much and could do what he's still decent at throwing the body around and working in front of the net.
