Not sure if serious.

He did. I recently met a girl who works on sets of local commercials and some news stations. She worked on the mattress world commercials and the girl invited her to the reception last weekend in Pittsburgh. Had I met this woman maybe a month earlier perhaps I could have been her plus 1

TK bounces back

I was thinking of TK last night, watching Dustin Brown score. I realized that Dustin Brown is like TK in a lot of ways, just better.

Not sure if serious.

New Ducks uniforms. Current alternate becomes home, gets white road version.

I'm a fan.

That logo has always been a bit too Batman for my taste....but definitely an improvement over the original one.

I like the road jersey, but not sure how I feel about the gold on the sleeves.

the sound of this hitting the helmet... my goodness.

Dustin Penner interview: http://www.nofilterblog.com/#!NoFilter- ... 26557E6A1F

What's the craziest thing a fan has ever said or done to you?

I've dished out 3 restraining orders in my life. One of them, I never met her, would make fake Dustin Penner Facebook accounts and create conversations between her account and the mock account of me and make a relationship. She hacked into my e-mail too. One day the officer called me from Massachusetts and said: "we have her in custody but I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't tell you this, and you're probably not going to like it." I'm a curious person so I said, "well, go ahead and tell me." The cop said: "we put her in handcuffs and she laughed and said 'this isn't over.'"

Given that the person who posted that decided to cut out the initiating infraction, I am forced to assume that was completely justified.

And the sound of that hitting the helmet is nothing compared to the sound of that woman's voice.

of all the NHL players to be psychotic about...she had to pick Dustin Penner.

This part of the Penner interview is even more disturbing:

Another good one: my first year pro we were signing autographs after the game. I was going down the line of fans and I get to a girl who was probably 16 years old and she asked "will you have sex with me?" I immediately got flushed in the face and she was standing right beside her mom. I looked at her mother and the mom was nodding her head and said "yes, will you?" I just kept walking - that's not something MY mother would ever encourage!

Downtown Robbie Brown does not agree with Penner whatsoever

I'm not sure if anyone posted this year, but Rossi met with DB for a four hour lunch and wrote a column about it: http://triblive.com/sports/penguins/663 ... z3BQ4Q7acr

Anyone else think this column was odd? I mean, he meets with DB for four hours and the writing style just seems..off. Seems like it should've been in like a QA format. Its like he is praising DB here. Rossi is just an odd dude or something.

Scott Gomez getting a tryout with New Jersey.

Didn't see this anywhere else in NPR. Below are the proposed rule changes for this coming season.

The trapezoidal areas behind each net in which goaltenders are allowed to play the puck are to be made 4 feet (1.2 m) wider than their current width.

The width of the hashmarks outside the faceoff circles will be extended from their current 3.5 feet to five feet.

Prior to any overtime period, both teams will change ends and the ice will be dry-scraped by an ice resurfacer. The league hopes that the "long line changes" and the better ice surfaces will increase scoring in overtime, and thus decrease shootouts.[13]

Coaches no longer have to submit a list of shootout participants as it begins. The coaches will be free as to who they will pick next.

Teams that ice the puck can only use one center to make the ensuring faceoff. If that player attempts to get kicked out of the faceoff to buy his team time, he'll get a two-minute delay-of-game penalty.

The NHL's "situation room" will have more latitude to conduct video reviews of goals that don't fall under the guidelines of what can be reviewed but that clearly weren't scored legally.

The wording "embellishment" will be changed to allow an escalating scale of fines to repeat-offense players and coaches.

[Beveridge]

Don't some of those have to be voted on first?

[meow]

Correct. I guess I should have put proposed in my original post. Edited.
