5idney Cr0(+1)sby Sucks In Last Game Of The Season

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

Following my return from Pittsburgh was a relatively quiet game on Saturday against the Atlanta Thrashers. 1-0 Pens lost. WBS Pens clinched a playoff spot night before beating Albany River Rats! WBS Pens first playoff game takes place on Wed at 7:00 PM against the River Rats. Interestingly enough at exactly the same time Pittsburgh Penguins will be facing Ottawa Sens. So put down your scissors and your razors and let the playoff games begin!

More about last game of the season which took place in NY against the Islanders. First off let me say that if NY Islanders are missing two Chipotle T-Shirts from giveaway for section 330 or two cups of dots icecream from unattended and unlocked concession stand well then MouthFullOfTang and I have no clue what happened to them.

Judging from all the Penguins jerseys i saw around arena on Sunday this was truly a Penguin Invasion. Pens fans from all over gather to witness Crosby take a poop on Alex Ovechkin and win that Maurice “Rocket” Richard Trophy.

Grats Sidney!

What happened to Ovie!? Do you remember not that long ago when he was leading NHL in at least 3 stats? Most Goals, Most Points, Highest + rating? Looking at the stats for the end of the season Ovie is nowhere to be found. Good to see he really stepped up his game.

Anyway, we had to get ready for this memorable moment in Sid’s career and whats better than to create a Sidney Crosby Sucks sign!?

thanks to @mrsletang @kayewtie for the pic above!

When Sid scored his 50th goal we pulled out this bad boy and started chanting Crosby Sucks … Nassau Coliseum was stunned!

As a tradition we bring you the best of  hockey on Long Island in this opening ceremony: Ice Girls and EVGENI MALKIN!!!

Worth mentioning that Eric Tangradi was playing like a beast. Even though he was pointless he played hard and stood out during the game on many occasions. Good job Eric!

Leo with the game winner in OT  continues to be hot hot hot! Lets hope he can bring this momentum over to playoffs.

Eric Godard Is a Fighter and a Lover …

I had front row seats for this game and received warm welcome from the photographers. When their heads or butt cracks were not in the way i was able to snap some quality shots. Enjoy!

Pens Partying After Win Over Atlanta And Geno Life Of The Party

Monday, April 5th, 2010

http://insidepittsburghsports.com reports … read full story here

Following the teams win Saturday afternoon against the Atlanta Thrashers, the team went out on the town Saturday night for Marc Andre Fleury’s girlfriends birthday.
All of the Penguins (except Sidney Crosby), incluidng their wives and girlfriends, spent most of the  night in the VIP section at Club Diesel on the South Side.
Word is Evgeni Malkin was having himself a good time and was the life of the party. Club Diesel is a common hang out for a number of players.

* Winger Chris Kunitz did not practice and remains sidelined.
In Kunitz absence, Ruslan Fedotenko and Pascal Dupuis skated with Sidney Crosby on the top line.

In between winning and partying Gonchar and Malkin also found the time to take a tour of the Consol Energy Center and snap a pic with the new Penguins President David Morehouse.
If you are going to Thursday’s game you will be lucky to see more than 50 former Penguins players celebrating final regular season game at the Civic arena. Also golden tickets will be given out to visit Wonka’s chocolate factory as well as shirts off their to our backs. Fans are asked to be in their seats for the pre-game ceremony by 7:20 p.m. In English i believe that means DONT BE LATE! Enjoy full recap here …

weekend hockey

Monday, March 29th, 2010

in my attempt to push the boundaries of english language and due to laziness of using my pinkie finger to hold down shift key i am going to ignore capitalization in this post. it has been a very fruitful weekend for the pens. they have been reaping the fruits of depth on their team against flyers and leafs. there hasn’t been a better time for our boys to step up and say enough is enough. with evgeni malkin still out with a foot injury and sergei gonchar out with some mysterious “sickness” hcdb used “tactical stratigery” to overwhelm the opponent on home ice. one of the reoccurring themes was present in every game this weekend … hcdb in cahoots with maf allows a garbage goal in the beginning of the 1st period in order to get the team going. as the result is the 4-1 win against the flyers and 5-4 win against toronto maple leafs. with devils losing to flyers last night pens are sitting on the top of atlantic division. hero of the week as much as i want to say matt cooke for keeping the pens alive in the game against the leafs i am going to go with pascal the birth canal since i have a funny picture to go along with that. of course can’t give pascal dupuis too much credit to keep him on his toes so i will continue to hate up on him. pascal great shootout goal but you still suck even if you are so awesome.

can they be anymore creepier than this?

thanks to someone on twitter for posting this picture and thanks for @birdmadxgirl for pointing me to http://www.nhlpa.com website which is the original source.

of course the fan of the week is tied between two people. 1st up is this crazy guy doing a little dance making a little love … basically getting down last night

second one goes out to the girl who made crosberries cereal … not to be confused with scott hartnell’s dingleberries cereal
