Gary Roberts Will Destroy You and Everything You Stand For

Is it me or does Ryan Getzlaf look drunk?

By now you've probably heard about it, but I'm going to reiterate the point anyway. Gary Roberts absolutely destroyed Philadelphia's Ben Eager (who?) last night. I mean he deployed an army of hay makers we haven't seen since the heydays of Mr. T and Sly Stallone.

The Penguins ended up losing the game, which took place in Philly, by a count of 8-2. Sometimes it's not about the score, though. Sometimes it's about whose 41-year old vet beats the tar out of whose 23-year old punk kid. If we're playing by those rules... Game. Set. Match. Pens.

And if you haven't seen it, or just want a good laugh before you call it a day, check out the video of the destruction.

  1. Old man beating up a young buck - reminded me of when Robin Ventura charged the mound against Nolan Ryan.

  2. Sitting in the upper concourse of the Wachovia center, wearing a Crosby jersey and surrounded by blood thirsty Flyers fans, I could not help but stand up and applaud Roberts sticking it to Eager.

    Of course my life was threatened and I was publicly berated for the remainder of the game. But really that's about what I expected heading in. 8-2, though, the Pens couldn't do me a little better than that.

    Well, beat the shit out of Ben Eager, for one...

  4. Stop me if you've heard this one before!

    "Looks like Ben was a little too eager for that one." Get it? Eager... um...

  5. It's always fun to see the pups schooled by the geezers.
