PS3: Gameday

There are still way too many unanswered questions regarding the EASHL league, I guess we will find out all of the details in the next few days. What I want to discuss here though is the process we should go through to form teams. Every day, we'll have a Gameday post where (you) the players will post when you'll be available that night for a team game. Once we have enough players available, you can start putting together the 6 man team (LW, C, RW, D, D, G) and commit yourselves to a position in order to avoid confusion/frustration. Obviously not eveyone will get to play their preffered position everytime, but if we do this right, we can come to an agreeable solution.



I said we'd have to switch positions Jags, not....nevermind.

Also please remember to add your teammates to your friends list on PS3 if you haven't already. Here's the most up to date roster with Gamertags

EASHL Team Name




To view the total amount of votes click on comment in the poll box. You will even be able to see where the votes are coming from around the world.

PS3: Team Name?????

We should probably get a team name together that everyone likes or at the very least they can tolerate. My suggestion is the Pensblog Jobbers. Leave your suggestions in the comments section.

Only a few more days until it hits the stores.

NHL 09 - IGN Review

Well it's official. Even video game reviewers think NHL 09 is kick ass!

NHL 09 Review

9/10 is not to shabby

Considering that NHL 08 only got a 8.9 from them last year.

I wonder how many times our Cindy Gaysby had to whine to EA to make it better.


We are going to throw a PensBlog custom room together tonight and practice around 10PM. We prefer that you have a mic so that you can hear us whenever we call for the puck, and sh*t like that.

A lot of people say that we are going to kill this EASHL thing. Well, for starters we have to practice together.



Here are some calculations I have come up with to become some of the best players in NHL 09.


7,000 hours of EASHL practice + be traded for Joey Gladstone and a bag of hammers = Ron Francis

3,000 hours of EASHL practice + 1 Subway Sandwich + ending everybody's name on the team with a "y" - overly mentioning Recchi's name after he was traded 1/4 of the way though the season = Bob Errey

8,000 hours of EASHL practice + Makeup + Sarah Palin's News anchor haircut + join Vladimir Putin's team and get way overpaid = Jaromír Jágr

10,000 hours of EASHL practice + Develop Hodgkin's Disease+ Beat Hodgkin's Disease x Save the Pens asses + potty training Cindy for 3 years - time wasted/flights bought to visit KC+ Free dinners = Mario Lemieux

5,000 hours of EASHL practice + Calling Brian Bellows a Pig Fu*ker + getting caught stealing NYR money and blowing it on a hooker and crack = Kevin Stevens (But we still love you)


He should of hit up Hugh Grant for some advice..



If you can't take the Cindy Gaysby and rips on here or over at the tBP. Your are not a true Pens fan and do not know why we call him that. ( We are not making fun of him. We are jobbing the people who job him.)


If that makes sense.


We have grown up with them.

They are like an older brother...

He wins tons of awards in high school. Goes off to college and starts doing drugs and banging every woman that he can see. Then he starts developing financial problems and hits rock bottom. Finds a wife that helps him clean up his act and puts some money in the stock market. He starts off with a clean sheet. Adopts a few young kids and then becomes very wealthy.

Who says you can't bust your brother's balls for banging your best friends grandma after he got shit faced at your graduation.

What-ev

Do it. Fast & Hard

PS3 Roster Update

We're up to 36 players...so we still have 14 spots open. If you want to get some practice in on NHL 08, we usually play around 10 EST....check the Facebook group for more info on who's available to play, drop a line if you are planning on being available....we usually have our own lobby named "tpb" from there we can set up some games.

As you can tell we're still missing some key information for some of you, please leave any updates in the comments section.
