Pink it was love at first sight
Pink when I turn out the light
Pink it’s like red but not quite
And I think everything is going to be all right
No matter who tends goal tonight
– steven tyler
Nicely done lol
mr.tyler is referring to the female vagina. so appropriate!
maybe he was referring to the panties you wore when Fleury stole your asss flower.
…
Sam’s mom must be behind paying the bills….
Donut Stanch. Chocolate please.
#yodafearspink seeing this kind of insecurity over a colour is priceless
How many goals will Murray let in before he fakes his next injury? I’m going with 3.
how long before st.bleury aka st.mommy comes out in pink pads to express his love for moms and daughters everywhere?
That was sam-worthy.
for the record, painting your children’s name on your helmet in pink is such a mom thing to do. what dad does that? what man does that? all hail st.mommy!
Probably the kind of dad that bitche$ on the internet all day about a goalie’s hockey mask. That kind of dad, I’d imagine.
Lmao… dude I would put every dime I’ve ever had you’re the biggest bitch when face 2 face yet you have the audacity to bitch about this? 100.00 bucks says fleury would beat the fuck out you lol
When all is said and done you were fucking wrong about the bouquet of roses and now you’re just being absurd, even for you, that MAF has shown love for his little girls by placing them on his mask.
dude, he is a hockey player! hockey players don’t express their love for their daughters on their mask. it is making him and he team mates look like pus$ies! you don’t do that! mom’s are the ones who love artistic stuff about their children. i can’t believe you are falling for st.mommies tricks. he wants to stay in pittsburgh so bad he is now putting his kids names on his mask so everyone falls in love with that fraud even more. st.mommy’s tricks are so bad they have become unbearable!
Weird… the league is rife with goaltenders that have added either their children’s names or likeness to their mask… it happens a lot. This is worse than “you don’t poke check top six guys” nonsense from earlier this year lol
Mike Smith and Devon Dubnyk have both done it… Mike Smith would murder you lol
Here is the excuse “it wasn’t in pink” blah, blah, blah which is just more cherry picking bullshit from the worst fan the franchise has
How would you know what hockey players do? You never played and clearly have no grasp of the sport, or life in general. Without his child support and your union, you’d be lucky to have a paper route.
i know what hockey players do because i was a hockey player. i have more of a grasp than you do because you think a goaltender who’s numbers are in the bottom 80% of the league is great and i realize that sucks. traditionally speaking, pink is a color for little girls and women, you approve a grown man in the NHL of putting the color pink on his helmet, sorry dude, that is something a mommy would do, hence the name st.mommy. i am self employed, am not in a union and do not have a paper route.
Oh man! FroYo played Dek Hockey with Maloni! Now it’s allllllllllllllll making sense!
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e9/Tv_snl_ambiguously_flying.jpg
Nothing you’ve ever said on here makes amy sense. If you played hockey, you were horrendous. And there’s no way you have the mental capacity to be self anything.
I guarantee that Im a better hockey player than you
I guarantee you’re better at pocket pool than zero
“Traditionally” since the 1940s… keep going. Something that I thought was put behind us in the 90s… part of the reason why there is a lot of pink in pro sports for save the boobies month… yodas afraid of pink.
if i ever ran into your patron saint, i’d tell him straight up, dude, take that pink lettering off of your mask you woman
Or would you grovel about how he didn’t call you after he stole your asss cherry?
Ya I bet you would…
Yoda wants us to believe he would shit talk a grown man to his face when he’s shown everyone he’s scared of the colour pink lol.
You wouldn’t do anything, ever. You don’t do anything about him bending your wife over on a nightly basis, so why would you do anything now?
Hahaha…. so the pink yodipshit is freaking out about… his daughters names. What a fucken tool you are yoda.
… AND… as I suspected… the “flower bouquet” is a fucken Canadian Maple Leaf. Then again I’m sure he already knew that shit. What a lying fucken idiot. Making a big deal over the Maple Leaf coming out of the cup (the “rose bowl” part for irony… yoda is so stupid he doesn’t realize that’s what the top piece of the cup is… a ROSE bowl) and the mans daughters names in pink. Glad we exposed you for the fucken fraud your are… again.

Pic three and seven
Here is the frog, fleur dis-lis, cup and Maple Leaf that MAF has had on his mask every year since at least after the first cup and including the current masks

This link also shows the name of one daughter… in pink… before the birth of his second. Raise your hand if you think yodas week long melt down on this is his best show yet?
zerocool approves of the color pink. pathetic. hockey players are supposed to be tough and cool. not putting pink cursive writing on their masks. everyone in the league has a son or daugter eventually but your clown is the first to paint his kids names in pink on his mask. omg its so awful
Do you watch any NFL games in October?
I have no issue with the colour pink… it’s a colour, the stigma of it being a “girl colour” is only held by incredibly insecure males these days.
Interesting side note in history… while pink has been associated youth of either sex the modern roots of the type of reaction yoda is having can actually be traced back to nazi camps… it’s how they identified homosexuals in camps. I dot even have to invoke Godwin… this is legit lol
Your association is archaic and stupid… dumbass
aweeeeee, sooooooo cute putting his daugters name in pink on his helmet. i’m so happy he is expressing himself in pink. it’s beatiful. i hope geno should paint his son’s name in baby blue on his helmet and they can all have a craft class together too while they are at it. give me an effing break. it’s pus$y crap
pus$y crap. like a grown complaining about a hockey mask. that kind of a pus$y crap?
Not even worth the time… you’re a stupidfuck plain and simple.
Yoda thinks that professional goalies paint their own helmets.
he has creative control. he ordered the color pink to be painted on his helmet and you love it. that is so disgraceful as a hockey player.
I mean, it’s not as disgraceful as a grown man that complains ad nauseum about hockey goalie.
Ya and often they give the artist an idea and allow the artist to run with it. You have your vagina in a knot because he said “cool, looks good” with something you struggle with because you refuse to deal with your own lantent homosexuality.
so not only does st.bleury have flowers on his helmet because he is a sissy, he also has pink writing on the back of his helmet too. awe, how cute and adorable, it goes right along with his loveable smile……what a joke. seriously, what kind of hockey player paints pink on his mask?
*because it’s symbolic of him taking your ass flower, not because he’s a sissy. in that scenario – you’d be the sissy.
so in other words, you would also play hockey with the color pink on your helmet? hahahaha! dude, admit it, the saint is a big pus$y
I mean – that’s a pretty big leap – I was talking about your jaded lover syndrome. I didn’t say anything about wearing pink on a helmet – I mean, i know you’re dumb, but I don’t know where you pulled that from – apparently the same place MAF pulled his junk from.
st.bleury disgraces the pens. he sucks in the playoffs, he wears pink on his helmet because he loves playing the role of the loveable goaltender (so pus$y), and all of you clowns still love a guy who’s numbers are at the bottom of the league. this is a fucking outrage
#triggered your obsession, for a grown man, is absolutely embarrassing. you need a new hobby.
The fragility of your masculinity is astounding. What do you think when players in many leagues wear pink at points of the year? Why, in your eyes, is pink a emasculating colour? What year are you stuck in? It’s fucking hilarious that you’re so taken a back by a man with a drop of pink on his mask… which I have t been able to see yet. That matters because if its the traditional back of the mask I’ve seen it’s not flowers lol
MAF does suck.
Sheary sucks… MAF too
and “Chubby”
let’s celebrate the patron saint! his %.910 puts him at 32nd in the NHL and his GAA is now good for 43rd at 3.07! super pumped we can celebrate a guy who is in the bottom of the pack league wide!
He stole your asss cherry. #triggered #fraud #froyo
you forgot #BLOWITUP!
Oh – right. Good point. ole yogurt wanted to tear it down…six weeks before a cup win.
your patron saint was removed and the pens won the cup just like i said…..and i looooooooooove it!
you didn’t say they’d win the cup – you said they needed to start over. 6 weeks before they won. and i loooooooooooooovvvvvve it!
Lol, yes it’s just straight up… let’s have a look at those numbers by removing guys that have played 15 or less games. End of the day you always cherry pick. There is a decided difference in being a starter vs backup. Backups usually see the lessor teams for one. End of the day you have made excuses for Murray for the same things you’d crucify MAF for.
