Do we legitimately face more back-up goalies than starters? Needs to be a consideration when we try to map out expected improvement moving forward

Really !!

Even some Arabic ... Bismillah ... In the name of Allah

*****

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landside,
No escape from reality
Open your eyes,
Look up to the skies and see,
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy,
Because I'm easy come, easy go,
Little high, little low,
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to
Me, to me

Mamaaa,
Just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger,
Now he's dead
Mamaaa, life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, oooh,
Didn't mean to make you cry,
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters

Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all
The time
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go,
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, oooh
I don't want to die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouch, Scaramouch, will you do the Fandango!

Thunderbolts and lightning, very, very frightening me
Galileo, Galileo
Galileo, Galileo
Galileo, Figaro - magnificoo

I'm just a poor boy nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family,
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let me go) Will not let you go
(Let me go)(Never) Never let you go
(Let me go) (Never) let you go (Let me go) Ah
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me,
For meee

So you think you can stop me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby,
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here

Nothing really matters, Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters,
Nothing really matters to me
Any way the wind blows...

You unable to space the lyrics out to the length of the 5:50 long song, so sad, OR maybe I am a speed reader!

I believe I saw an interview a while back and the point of Galileo, Figaro, Scaramouch and even Beelzebub was just to have operatic sounding words to sing; they were never intended to carry meaning in the main narrative.

Hmmmm, they have driven my life's work. What does that mean for meeeeee?

My life just does not matter.......

Mapping.....

 

[Refuting]

5-1 Lightning 

[Thorner]

I believe Quinn has actually been lining up on the right and JJ on the left of late, but otherwise, this is accurate I think 

[dudacek]

Quibble over the 6D and the starting goalie if you’d like, but that might be the most attractive top-to-bottom overall lineup they’ve put on the ice since Lindy was coach.

Looking at that lineup it would appear that only 3 out of the 12 forwards could be considered rookies while 1 of the defensemen (who is playing quite well) is a rookie.

Imo anyone below 30 is a rook

thats the definition I use anyways

I also refer to these players as “castles”

Did you forget about the pawns? Actually, I heard Jaromir Jagr is coming back to the Penguins and will be classified as a rookie since he regained his virginity while he was away.

Asplund. Then again, it depends on whose definition of a rookie you use.

Piece of cake

Asplund was on the team last year. I don't think he's a rookie.

Yes, but mullets sadly are back in style. I'm old enough that I was around for the long hair of the 60's & 70's but never wore mine below the ears.

Hank, the official rookies are Power, Quinn and Peterka.  Guys with less than a year of NHL experience, add in Krebs, Samuelsson, and UPL.
