It’s universally accepted that Elton John jumped the shark after he started doing collaborations with Kiki Dee. It was bizarre because basically nobody had heard of her before the songs with John. She was never married, but still lives in California with EJ’s old guitarist. Basically all of her songs are tributes to John, just look at these titles: “The Loser Gets To Win”, “Another Day Comes (Another Day Goes)”, “I Fall in Love Too Easily”, “Stay Close to You”.

Have to assume she never got the memo about the whole him being gay thing. Or maybe she did, either way.

Moving on…

The Pens were torched in the second leg of a back-to-back Tuesday night in Montreal. Tonight they get the Sharks in a rematch of last year’s Final at The Paint Can.

HAVE YOU SEEN THE SCHEDULE?

The Pens have like 45 games scheduled the first five weeks of this season. Feels like the season just started and guys are already falling left and right to injury. Crosby, Letang, Sheary are all still day-to-day. Murray practiced this morning, meaning Mike Condom won’t be needed, which is always nice.

ABOUT MURRAY

Got a new contract today: Three years, $3.75 per. A very economical number for a starting goalie. Not so much for a backup. This story is To Be Continued…

JOE THORNTON DIDN’T HAVE HIS SHIRT ON

Sure, this is a little weird, but taking photos of other dudes walking around town sans a shirt like you’re the Pittsburgh paparazzi is on another level.

Should be interesting to see what happens when Patrick Kane is seen walking down Carson with his dick out.

PREDICTION:

Steiggy pimps the Cup win for three hours. Pens win 4-3 in OT.
