Gary Roberts can slam a revolving door

C'mon, Washington. I know you don't want to see Philadelphia in the NHL Finals. That said, here's a bit of Game 3 humor on Pittsburgh Penguins' cult hero Gary Roberts.

And most recently, it was reported by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that Roberts is questionable for tonight, so hopefully a little humor will manifest itself into good news.

In Pittsburgh, that blue-collar, corner-bar-having “dump” of a town that was described in this space, guys like Chuck Norris are revered. So revered, in fact, that we've even likened Norris to the fourth-line winger.

These are obviously not originals, but I must admit, I didn't know some of this stuff about Mr. Roberts before I looked it up myself.

My Top 10:

Gary Roberts counted to infinity -- twice.

Gary Roberts doesn't know what “scoring chances” are because the word “chance” indicates the possibility of failure.

Gary Roberts isn't the captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins because he's the captain of the NHL.

Gary Roberts does his grocery shopping at Lowe's.

Gary Roberts doesn't wear a watch, he tells time when and how to be.

Gary Roberts is the reason Waldo is hiding.

When Gary Roberts falls in water, he doesn't get wet. Water gets Gary Roberts.

Every day Gary Roberts meditates for one hour. This is the only time the rest of the NHL can relax.

Gary Roberts can divide by zero.

Gary Roberts can sweep a series in three games.

On another NHL note, The Red Wings won yet again last night, lifting Detroit to a 3-0 series lead over Dallas. Looks like there's a strong possibility that the Red Wings will reach the Finals.

Whew, they are tough to beat. As I've written before, they're so talented offensively. How do you possibly defend all those forwards?

One step at a time, that's for sure.
