I woke up on Sunday morning at 11:35 am feeling kind of crappy but excited for the Pens game. Looked on gamecenter.nhl.com – game is, of course, blacked out. “Don’t miss another game” – my butt! Flipped through my hotels channels can’t find it. Can it be possible the game is not televised in Canada? I flip through the channels again … BINGO! I see caveman’s face on my tube … must be the right channel. I start chanting LETS GO PENS off of top of my lungs … i get a call from the hotels front desk to find out whats going on in my room. Its hockey afternoon in Canada i explain to them, hang up the phone and unplug it.
Crosby with a beauty 1-0. I jump out of my seat making all sorts of noises unable to restrain myself.
Few minutes later Liach goes to the box. Gogo to Geno who sets up wide open Crosby. He goes to the net Theodore craps his pants and its a PPG 2-0.
I pick up my cell phone to call some people to make sure they are not missing this game. No answer.
Our PK is making me proud … nothing for Caps in the first.
Second period starts and about a minute into it Gonchar goes to the box shaking his head … holding. PK is solid again.
Pens get PP and nothing good comes out of it.
Minutes later Schultz passes to Ovie across the neutral zone … he goes on the break away and beats MAF … 5 hole. 2-1
I start feeling uneasy but its Cooke to Kennedy to Staal who tips it in. 3-1
LETS GO PENS chant booms over the Holiday Inn Express.
My best friend who lives about 30 min away from DC messages me on the google talk … i told him night before that this game would be on the national television. I also told him a thousand times not to message me during hockey games because his knives, guns, and watches pictures are distracting during hockey game. He puts on the game just in time for Geno to Staal who beats Theodore with a wrist shot. 4-1
LETS GO PENS chant once again … is rudely interrupted by a knock on the door from the hotel personnel who diplomatically tells me to shut the hell up.
SUCK IT. I start planning my blog post in my head about how Pens end Caps winning streak as Fehr pick up his own juicy rebound and beats MAF. 4-2.
End of second Pens on PP. 5 on 4. minute later 5 on 3. Still nothing as the buzzer goes off to be continues.
Third period … starts with 5 on 3 PP but once again nothing goes in. Balls.
Caps are desperate and pressing hard. Ovie with a softie beats MAF. 4-3
My buddy asking something stupid on the google talk … like which Rolex watch would i like to get next? I tell him that the only think i want right now is for Pens to win. He continues to say its a done deal. I tell him he has no clue. He says i bet you $1 dollar Pens are going to win. I tell him to stop wasting my time as he knows nothing about hockey. Jinx.
About 5 minutes later off a faceoff Ovie gets the puck and beats MAF with another softie … i puke in my mouth. I don’t know how Flower didn’t stop that one. 4-4 Red hats starts pouring down.
Schultz goes to the box for questionable slashing call but once again Pens can’t bury it with a man advantage.
OT … Candy Man goes to the box for high sticking … Ovie hits the post and Knuble pokes the puck in. Game.
Pens lose but get a point and i win a dollar … thanks buddy … FOR NOTHING! Barf.
Speaking of watches … check out Sid’s Rolex Daytona.
If you want to get one … buy it here for only $12,000. Get me one as well while you are it.
LETS GO PENS!
