Around SBN: Is Adebayor About To Become A Full-Time Spur?

Hockey time, yinzers.

DETROIT @ PITTSBURGH 8 PM EST VERSUS CBC RDS. I am overwhelmed by the shiny newness of the editing pane on SBN. I have no idea what I am doing besides typing out the game thread. The series stands at 2-0 Red Wings but the Penguins have proved they reallllly like to play in their home arena and have taken to barring Michigan natives from buying octopi. OMG I just read on Leahy's twitter that Kris Letang is out, Philip Boucher is in. The last two games have been exactly thrilling since they have both ended with the same score. Except at the end of one of the games Evgeni Malkin punched a dude.

This is your game day thread. Have at it. We're nearing the end.

A Yinzer is.....

It’s a slang term(Pittsburghese) for the native residence of the Pittsburgh area. It dies down the farther you get away from the city, but you can still hear it in most W. PA people. Many of the sounds and words found in the speech of Pittsburghers are popularly thought to be unique to the city. This is reflected in the term “Pittsburghese,” the putative sum of these features in the form of a dialect. However, few of these features are restricted solely to Pittsburgh or the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. Instead, many of them are found throughout southwestern Pennsylvania.
The Scots-Irish settlers are said to be most influential people for Pittsburghese.

ex——Hey yinz jagoffs wanna go dahn-a-strip drink a few Arns, and listen to Marn Cope, call the Stillers game?

Translation—-Hey do you guys want to go down to the Strip District, grab some IC’s (Iron City Beer) and listen to Myron Cope call the Steelers game?

All you need to know about Yinzers, and what we like....

Check out WWW.Pittsburghese.com, pretty extensive dictionary, and translations (I would post it here, but it’s huge), send to anyone you know from this area, they’ll love it. I did, for people I knew while living in SEEatle (Seattle), they were rolling!!

Type Yinzers into a search engine, and see what comes up, stores with Yinzer things, dolls, glasses, and so on……

Urban DIctionary FTW

yinzer
 A resident of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Known for their love of all things Steelers and Donnie Iris and extreme hatred of Cleveland. Consists mainly on Primanti Brothers and ethnic cuisine. Yinzers can be easily identified by their one-of-a-kind, ridiculous accent.

I saw a referenced in a story in the Star (I know, I know) to the Leafs getting some prospects as compensation for Dallas jacking Joe Nieuwendyk. Did I read that wrong, and if not, anyone know who we got?

by FutureMrStronach on Jun 2, 2009 7:55 PM EDT reply actions  

The current CBA eliminated compensation for teams hiring away execs, so I’d be shocked if that were the case.

Lance Hornby says no compensation headed to the Leafs:

There is no compensation heading to Toronto from Dallas for taking Nieuwendyk before his contract expired after the NHL ended such practices a few years ago.

Yeah I know, it's overkill

From Ken Campbell in the Hockey News:

NHL bylaws clearly state that once one team gives another permission to speak with one of its front-office people still under contract, the team holding the contract gives up all rights to compensation.

Found the article, and the quote:

DALLAS — About 10 days after Texan Tom Hicks bought the Dallas Stars, he showed some hockey smarts by giving up prospects and a big contract to land Joe Nieuwendyk.

Although you’ve certainly provided ample evidence that there was none. Am I mis-reading this lead, or does the CP have it wrong?

Maybe Snoop is very interested in buying and moving the Coyotes and naming them the Compton Chronics.

No worries. It was a bit of a group think. Kim showed me the pic and I at first suggested she photoshop Orpik into it. She countered with that.

Hey Hey, What did I say?
Final prediction: if Pens score 4 they win. If they hit 3 or fewer they lose.

Someone needs to track the PPs. My guess is Pittsburgh gets a decided edge with the man advantage…

Penguins 2 for 3 on the PP…
