Let’s talk about something happy. Something that isn’t what happened to Stamkos. Something that doesn’t spur a combination of dry heaves, caterwauling and crushing bags of ketchup chips with a sledgehammer.
Penguins, to the rescue.
Yesterday was the annual Project Bundle Up, where the Pens take kids shopping for warm winter clothes. What could be better than boys and mittens? Woolly hats, hot chocolate… there were probably fuzzy socks. Go on without me.
A few things to make us all feel better:
– Tanner Glass. With glasses.
– Crosby’s mustache.
Duper can’t even look at him.
You know he started growing it on November 1 at 12:00:01 AM… and this is what he’s got to show for 11 days of work. Not that Sid would ever cheat, but he should really start this thing in August.
– Kris Letang giving expert advice on hats.
But he doesn’t know hats with flames are all the rage this season.
– This girl, achieving life goals at the age of 11(-ish). Here’s James introducing himself like his name is the last one she’ll ever need to know [Pens TV video].
She will grow up thinking all hot guys want to go shopping and watch you try on 90 versions of the same hat. If there were an Auntie Anne’s pretzel in this equation I would faint.
– The conversation I imagine Flower is having with this kid about whether gummy bears are better than Sour Patch Kids. Which they clearly are. Learn well, grasshopper.
– Giant people helping tiny people.
– This face:
– This hair:
– And the inevitable defeat of James Neal by every shirt he tries to put on.
I feel a little better now, don’t you?
Also Neal putting the shoe on her foot, that abut did me in.
Prince Charming, right there.
My sentiments exactly. Says the Flyers fan.
I WILL RESIST YOU JAMES NEAL. WITH ALL THE STRENGTH I HAVE.
I don’t know how shirts confound James like they do, but so help me, that little dance he did putting on that jersey made my morning!
Oh James Neal, your pretty simple-ness always soothes my heart. Thank you for this post!!
DID YOU FOR REAL JUST SUGGEST THAT SID SPEND *MORE* TIME GROWING A MUSTACHE? Seriously, even one month of — that thing, whatever that thing on his upper lip is — is too much. And now you want four of them. CHECK YOURSELF.
I almost said “(or not at all)” after that, but we all know there is zero chance Crosby is missing out on a team activity. First on, last off!
Someone needs to start a pensinglasses tumblr. Please. Someone who has more internet ninja skills than me.
I’ll leave this as inspiration –

Is it wrong to be jealous of a young girl?! I want James Neal to take me shopping for my winter clothes!
Please next time post warning that the Neal vs. Clothes pic is not a video. Some of us (or just me?) were too distracted by him and kept clicking on that thing..
Not enough attention being paid in the comments to how ADORABLE that Bortuzzo/tiny kid pic is. So here is my comment to pay it some attention. Love it.
