And the Worst Hockey Blogger Award Goes To...

Me!

I am so horrible at updating, but at least I have honest excuses. For the past week I've been battling the worst cold I've had in a long time. Bleh.

Thank goodness it's in the final stages ... and you know which stage I'm talking about. If you don't just ask Roberto Luongo...

Anywhooo...


Penguins Headlines:

• The Pens had a little vacation time after Saturday's 5-0 win against the Thrashers. The next game will be Friday @ 7:30 against the Dallas Stars.

• Someone needs to buy Kris Letang some HeadOn for Christmas.

"Apply directly to the forehead!"

• Jordan Staal knows about his sod.
• I watched the brief interview with Ryan Malone on FSN's Sportsbeat tonight. First off I am glad that I'm not suffering alone... Stan Savran looks like he's getting a pretty bad cold. Second, young Ryan Malone was "banging on pots and pans" to celebrate the Pens Stanley Cup win. Oh, the early 90's. To think I celebrated by being born...
• Two "In My Own Words" episodes will be premiering on FSN this December 5th and 6th. They will be featuring Jack Riley and Eddie Johnston.

SWEET CAROLINE...

Bah Bah Bah. Good times never seemed so... bad.



Lost 2-4 Against the Rangers last night.

Penguins Highlights:

1st Period...

• Fluery took the net, Whitney still out with his groin, and Colby is back in the line-up.


• The hotdog advertisement under the visitors bench was a nice touch.


• Gomez scored the first point of the game for the Rangers.


• Michel Therrien gives Sean Avery a death stare... for some reason I found it attractive. Oh no!


• Gonchar scored the first goal of the game for the Pens.


• Michal Rozisval scored 2nd goal for Rangers.

2nd Period...

• I heard Bon Jovi in the background. That is SO not a good way to start the period...


• Sean "big mouth and a few more selective words" Avery gets a goal.

3rd Period...

• Bob Errey caught Jagr talking to his stick for awhile. *wheezy laughs*
• Hey, I guess it does help him.
• Mary-O is at the game... looking nice! Wink Wink
• Bradon Dubinsky scored.
• Marc Recchi scored on the poweplay... he really reminds me of Mel Gibson.

Well, another loss.
