welcome to paradise.



Welcome Jay McKee.
1 year, $800,000.
It's an unreal discount.
Solid shot blocker. This is the defensive defenseman we've all been holding our breath for.
While he's had a lot of problems with injuries, we're no longer holding that against people. Look at Mark Eaton. (Once again, sir, we're sorry.)
We're actually really pleased with this move.
We'll be happy to see what Mr. McKee gets done.

He just went from being a 4 million a year cap hit on the Blues to defending the Stanley Cup.
What a cupcake.

We shall call him Cupcake.

He also has a face that makes it look like he is always up to something.
We really appreciate that in a person.

Glad you'll be calling Pittsburgh home, Cupcake. Welcome.
Go Pens.

LATE EDIT
Also, in case you've been living under a rock, the Pens announced the preseason schedule.

LATER EDIT
Super official Penguins website link.
Just to source it to you from a place that isn't Hockeybuzz.com.

Hello Mr. Cupcake. We welcome you and your insane discount.

Jess said...

I like it. Think they'll pair him with GoGo?

Caitlin said...

Cupcake. yes.

AmyB said...

Also, the new banner is kind of precious. It took me until today to get the "quality and quantity" of yesterdays banner. JSt11 had to explain it to me. Sometimes I am so thick its incredible.

I think we'll be seeing the defense pairings shuffled around a bit early in the season. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't want the two newest guys sharing a line. We saw how well pairing Eaton with Letang worked out for tangers development; I could see them putting GoGo with Eaton next year to help ease him in with a bit of a safety net.

I still wouldn't 100% rule out the possibility of Lovejoy either. He'll almost certainly be the 7th D, and I think he could give McKee a run for his money at camp. At the very least, they'll make each other work harder knowing the job is going to whoever performs well.

I like the looks of this one.

And obviously like the nickname.

@amyb, or jst11- could you explain that quality quantity thing to me, cause i always felt like i was missing something.

Todays banner is so fucking amazing

I want them married already

Maybe he'll propose on august 6th, his day with the cup.

AmyB said...

30 DICKS!! Quality and Quantity. Brilliant.

Hi Cupcake. You look so delicious. You have no idea how much I LOVE cupcakes, sir.

McKee had a great season here in StL...real good shot-blocker. Has had some injury troubles, but as long as he stays healthy we should be in good shape. What a fucking steal. He was also a favorite interview subject of our own Dan McLaughlin (poor man's DJ Po)...good guy.

Cat said...

The Pens just keep getting sexier and sexier. It makes watching them so much more fun! Cupcake looks as delicious as his nickname!

Carol said...

In case there was *any* doubt that guys like playing in Pittsburgh, here's someone else who's just awesome & basically says "I want to play here, pay me whatever you can."

Now if we can just bring back Petey... please... pretty please???

Jay McKee made Gary Roberts bleed. Nothing more needs to be said.
