For the first time today, I get to see my hometown team, the Buffalo Sabres… as they play against my new favorite team, the Pittsburgh Penguins, at HSBC Arena. What a strange, yet interesting feeling! But wait, it’s not just feeling..!
What makes it even better and more exciting?? …This will be the first ever real, live NHL game I will be attending in my life!! WOOOOOOOO!!!!!! 
I bought myself the ticket last night!! Section 307, Row 9, Seat 16, get ready to meet my ass!! …Yes, it was pretty spontaneous! Yes, it was an impulse buy! No, I do not regret it and I do not anticipate doing so! This is frikkin’ EXCITING!!!
…As you can probably guess, I’m a Pens newbie, so I’m not too familiar with all specifics on the players, but from what I’ve gathered, here are some my hopes, fairly simple requests, observations, in no particular order:
1) Geno’s big Russian butt had better score at least one goal for me! Cause apparently he really sucks now. Otherwise, trade him!
2) Could it be possible that I might become Comrie’s good luck charm?? If he skates that is, which he might. …In any case, I sure as hell hope not. I’d probably only be there for him tomorrow and maaayyyybe when the Pens make a return trip to HSBC Arena on December 11th. 
3) Brent Johnson is in net tonight, first time in seven games! Wooo! …But please, Pens players, don’t leave your goalie on his own **quite so much. Makes me nervous. (I’m talkin’ especially about the power play and defense. Current defense, not Leopold.) Feel free to hang around the Sabres’ kid, though! (goalie info)
4) Since he’s in Buffalo for the moment, Letang should get a haircut here, maybe. (Noooo, I didn’t say shear it all off! Geez!)
Feel free to add any other, or more specific ideas for the Pens’ success tonight, heheh! I’ll be sure to cheer my full intent with them in mind! 
…I borrowed back my old digital camera which I gave to my sister. Hopefully, I can snap you guys some good pics if I can relearn how to use it, haha …In any case, whether I’ll have lots of good photographic evidence to post or not, you guys can be sure I will have furthered my Pens education! I’ll be a changed fan for sure, by the next time you see me on PensHead…… 
I would like to add: I will have my cell phone with me. Despite battery and camera limitations, you guys can probably expect at least a few “live-twitpic’ed” moments, as well as perhaps some commentary during the game on my Twitter page! Join in a bit on this unprecedented journey of mine as it happens!

The Buffalo game was my first Penguins Game. Growing up in Southern Ontario it was just a normal thing to go to Leaf games in Toronto. But Wednesday like probably the other 8,000-10,000 Canadians who came to the game it was great to see Sidney and the other Pens in action and actually win:) I was section 322 but i was lucky enough to go down to the tunnel where the boys came out;) Probably my favourite LIVE game ever!
