Nice to see Sheary back... kind of sad we traded Kahun though

Still looks like a chance Wednesday afternoon-evening for some storms... probably nothing severe, but would be nice to see some lightning and hear some loud rumbles of thunder...

Wonder if the Caps are done after getting Kovalchuk last night... Pens grabbed Marleau... Islanders/Flyers/Blue Jackets have made moves today

Penguins have acquired Marleau from the Sharks for a 3rd round pick in 2020 - https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2020/02/patrick-marleau-traded-to-pittsburgh.html

@nj2va @Chris78 @nw baltimore wx @Scraff Lol 3rd round pick for Kovalchuk... doubt he sees much ice time besides being on the 2nd PP unit or maybe the 4th line https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2020/02/capitals-acquire-ilya-kovalchuk.html

Hornqvist and Crosby within 30 seconds... nice

More 4 v 4 hockey

Penalty killed indeed

Too bad each got 4 minutes and Penguins will remain on the PP

See you tomorrow after we both lost lol

Maybe a slight chance for a MRGL late Wednesday? From afternoon AFD from LWX:

@Kmlwx -- Here it is 60% wind.... but no hatch. According to the chart, 60% wind is highest MOD risk... 60% hatched wind is HIGH risk: Here is the event -- https://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/archive/event.php?date=20180515

Wedges on the mall?

It was 45% wind with sig svr I was thinking of -- https://www.spc.noaa.gov/exper/archive/event.php?date=20180504

Wasn't SNE nearly in a HIGH risk last year or two years ago? They had 60% wind I think... but it wasn't hatched... or was it 45% hatched?

Nice! Congrats on the snow

Maybe Saturday in New Jersey

Excellent trade made by the Penguins tonight. Zucker will take the place of Guentzel in the lineup... eventually Doumilin and Kahun and Bjugstad will be back from injury. Let's see if the Caps make a move or sit tight

Lol Holtby now in... can he stop anything tonight?

Surprised Samsonov got beat 3 times in the 1st. Off night I guess for him... but 10 goals given up in last 4 periods is no bueno. Also surprised Ovie didnt get some home cooking with the goal that they gave to Carlson

Holtby
