The FINAL home opener at Mellon Arena this Friday. Man, the memories.

Enjoy! ...

Pens Presented with Stanley Cup Rings

Ba-freaking-Nana's!

The Pens got their Stan Cup rings on Tuesday night at a special dinner in their honor. I thought you might want to check out their new bling.

That is one damn good looking ring!

Sid Crosby's New Bed Partner

Sid Crosby was nestled all snug in his bed,
While visions of the cup still danced in his head,
And sis on her fur coat, and the Steelers $5.6 mil under the cap,
Had just settled down for a long summers's nap.

When out by the pool there arose such a clatter,
I sprang off of sis to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open shutters and threw up the sash.

And what to my wondering eyes did appear,
But Lord Stanley's Cup .. at a house party with beer!

PENS WIN THE CUP!

To sit back and think about what they just pulled off leaves me speechless.

Pretty damn amazing!

From one generation ....


.....to the next


Flowers played one hell of a game #7 ...


Bring it home boys .... bring it home!

Pens get Dropped in Game #5

Ok, so how hard did the Pens get dropped in game #5 against the Red Wings?

.... oh, about this hard.



I'm glad I was busy getting my beach party on at Kenny Chesney's Sun City Carnival concert at Heinz Field on Saturday to get too caught up in the misery. Hell of a concert by the way .... If you ever get a chance to see him, I would highly recommend it. 5 Bands for the price of 1 ! ... Even one of my Atlanta bands, Sugarland, was there with him this year! It was pretty cool to run into them a day later at the Pittsburgh airport too! Chesney concerts are an all day party reminiscent of how Jimmy Buffet tailgate parties used to be back in the day.

LET'S GO PENS!

You've got about 18 hours to get your shit together and regroup. Do or die time ...

Pens Win Game 3!

Pens win 4-2 baby! ~ Someone gimme a Hell Yeah!



This next pic is for my brother who was bitching about the Refs and the lack of penalty calling this series.


Ok, so I've got to admit, I feel somewhat better now that we're back at the Igloo and have our first win in the series under our belt. I'm still waiting for that big game from Sid and Malkin, let's hope and pray it comes on Thursday night so that we can even this bitch up and get on a roll! Seriously ... let's all pray together, shall we?

GO PENS!



I'm convinced that there is NOTHING likable about the Detroit Red Wings .... Nothing! Believe me when I say, "Hate" is not a strong enough word.

I want to be like "MIKE"

Just look at him . . . a man of the people. Front row behind the glass during the Pens vs. Caps series at the Igloo, and now living large in the swankey Lexus Club seats at PNC Park gettin his Bucco's baseball on. All in one week ... proving once again that all the world is Mike Tomlin's Crib.

C'mon, who in the hell wouldn't want to be "like Mike?" This cat is living the dream!

Yes, it's none other than Steelers Head Coach Mike Tomlin who got more attention on TV last night than MelKeiper's 60's retro pompadour hair style at a stylist convention. The Pirates snapped an 8 game losing streak against the St. Louis and I'm sure Tomlin sitting directly behind home plate heckling the hell out of the Cards had something to do with it(just kidding Coach T). But wouldn't it be funny if Tomlin was talking shit like, "Hey Albert (Pujols) ... If you even think of hitting this pitch I'll be sure Harrison and Woodley pay you a personal visit to show you how we play ball in Pittsburgh ... Steelers style!"

I highly doubt Tomlin was heckling or that he served as some good luck charm for the Pirates. I think Zach Duke's pitching probably had something more to do with it.




Note: Tomlin, unlike almost every other person who sits in that section, did not once during the game pull out a cell phone and alert a friend or family member that he was visible on TV. He also appeared more emotionally invested in the game from the front row than John Russell did from the dugout.
