We all know that most successful teams in NHL actually know how to play as a team. Something Ovie needs to learn. We also know that if you play as a team on and off the ice then you win Stanley Cups. Something Hossa needs to learn. We also know that there are teams in NHL that shouldn’t even exist. Something Philly needs to learn. Ready for the best part of the story? Playing as a team involves a lot of ass kicking and or getting your ass kicked!
Happy 44th birthday to Sir Mario Lemieux! Like i always say when Jesus died at 33 he was still only half of what Mario is! Mario, stay just the way you are for many years to come!
Forces of evil were hard at work last night. It all started when i woke up with a bad hangover from night before. There was just a broken train, a cab, a stolen ticket, then Domski, then rain and traffic that stood between us and our mission. I knew today was going to be an especially hard day for all of us, but we live for moments like these. We breath them and we feed on their energy, we chew them up and then we spit them out. Moments like these define who we are and what we stand for. Yes i knew we were going to win this game. I knew this 3 months ago when i was talking to Peter at Foley’s. I told him, “Peter, i understand that you are a Penguins game virgin. However, October 3rd you got a date! You are gonna get some on October 3rd, baby! You are finally getting laid!” Now, i might not know much about getting laid, being on a date, or even hockey. I do have a refined sense of predicting the future thanks to my great grandma who was named Zhenya in honor of the great Geno Malkin. ( *WARNING* if you are wearing a hat take it off before reading the next sentence) Rest in peace grandma i will always love you.
Yesterday was a great day! Pens Raised their 3rd banner during awesome pregame ceremony. I am sure somebody must have dropped a tear or two while the banner was raising.
In April 2007, Long Island native and lifelong Penguins fan Mark Hanna – thanks to his father, a Pittsburgher – decided to start a group to connect with other Penguins fans in New York City. Thus, the NYC Pittsburgh Penguins Meetup Group was born! http://www.meetup.com/penguins/ on www.meetup.com. Mark held his first meetup during Game 5 of the Ottawa playoff series. Unfortunately, the Pens lost that game and ended their playoff run but the meetup had managed to bring two lone Penguins fans, in a city full of Rangers fans, together.
That fall Mark scheduled a meetup for the season opener and instead of two there were six fans. Over the next several months the crowd of regulars grew to about twelve. Two or three times a month Pittsburgh Penguins Meetup Group members would gather in a bar near NYU in the Village to watch our beloved Penguins.
Lets do this! Puck drops tonight! Sid is back on the ice! Geno ate a huge batch of mama’s borscht! Jordan had some fun with Taylor Swift! Maxime Talbot has scored 3rd goal in SCF Game 7 with that shirt! Jeannie Baker, of Charleroi, won “Defy Ordinary” contest! They are all ready! Are you ready to cheer them on for another season!? I am ready! LETS GO PENS!
I called Geno today since i might not be able to call him tomorrow before the game. To my surprise, this time he didn’t answer his phone in Russian. “Hi, this Gina,” he said in a high pitched voice. I said “Cut the crap, Zhenya and get serious for tomorrows game.” He responded by saying, “No worri3s comrad3. I scor3 goal 4 u tomorrow.” I will hold him responsible for these words. Can’t wait to see #71 on the ice again … didn’t get to see him as much as i hoped during preseason.

First of all, let me call you a pervert and say that you clicked the link only because you read “Sex” first. Whatever, i don’t blame you.
Getting to more serious issues … Peter! Who is that guy? WHOOOO CARES?! RIGHT?! Ummmm, please, not so fast. Why is he so important to the health and goodness of our Pittsburgh Penguins to deserve his own post? Well to some it might seem like a completely random and chaotic coincidence. To others who dare to call themselves true Pensheads this is all about the Pens, right?! YOU DAMN RIGHT I AM RIGHT! Why else would you be reading this one-of-the-best-self-proclaimed-Pittsburgh-Penguins-blogs-on-the-web?! You are a true Penshead, much like Peter. So, i know you DO CARE! Since you care its my responsibility to make sure you find out the truth about THE DEVIL!
