Last night as many people know, the Chicago Blackhawks won teh Stanley Cup. Which means the NHL season is officially over.

This saddens me.

Now I have to wait until October to watch hockey. But there are a few things coming up hockey wise, like the draft and Free Agent Frenzy.

The win by the Blackhawks also officially ended the Pittsburgh Penguins as Stanley Cup champions (eventhough the Pens went out in the middle of May). The cup is the hardest trophy to win in sports and the Blackhawks deserved to win.

Actually anyone but Philadelphia deserved to win. Haha!

55…yes, 55 that is what the temperature is suppose to reach today. It’s about time! It’s March and so that means temps need to warm up.

I know we’ve had snow in March, April and May before, but after the disaster of a month February, :shudder: I can’t even say the name of the month without shivering. was for snow. I would like to forget last month ever happened. I need warmth, as I hate being cold. There is still snow on the ground here in Pittsburgh, but my yard only has a few patches which I hope will be go by next week. My yard gets a lot of sun so the snow melts fast, unlike my neighbors’ across the street whose yard still looks like a winter wonderland and an unnecessary reminder of last month.

March also is the beginning of the end of hockey season. I went to watch the Pens on Saturday, they won 6-3 over the Dallas Stars and then won again on Sunday 2-1 against the Bruins. At the moment the next game I will be seeing live at the Mellon Arena will be the last regular season home game at Mellon Arena on April 8th. That will be a sad day. That building is full of memories, but I can’t wait to see the Consol Energy Center.

Hope everyone enjoys the nice weather!

Happy Tuesday!

 

Glad everyone is enjoying the SNL videos on the site.

 

Today we talk hockey, as the Pens win in a shoot out in Boston.

 

So let’s open (or in this case click open, as the NHL has gone paperless with media guides) the media guide and do a small recap.

 

But this is no ordinary recap this is a getting to know you sort of recap to help you fair readers get acquainted with your Pittsburgh Penguins. Ok let’s click this open. Like the virtual cover?

 

 

So Miroslav Satan had the lone regulation goal. Let’s take a look at him without a helmet.

 

 

He reminds me of one of my college roommates must be the chin hair.

 

And what person information did he share with us?

 

 

The guy likes Italy, Italian food and French food. So all the “snow bunnies” line up in your best French maid outfit and bring your best ziti.

 

The man last night was Danny Sabourin

 

 

Um…nice hair.

 

He shares some info with us.

 

 

Tennis? Interesting.

 

Orpik had this to say about his performance

 

 

And just so you know this man’s eyes are SCAREY, just look.

 

 

:shudder:

 

Well after several shots in the shoutout, Geno puts one in.

 

 

What deep dark personal information will you share Geno?

 

 

The “Mummy?!” Seriously? Not like Yo Gabba Gabba, I know you watch it with Gonchar’s little girl.

 

Who knew?

 

Pens win 2-1 in a Shot Out! Woo!

 

Ok that’s it for now, I hoped you like getting to know your Pittsburgh Penguins.
