Sitting in my living room watching the Buccos of Suckitude game last night with my BIL who had just come from the hospital where Pens Fan Sister is currently laid up with Texas Death (and you all thought I was exaggerating how awful Texas Death is. She was hospitalized because they were afraid her [...]

1. People, friends, Burghers, my loves, I have lots of emails to respond to (I’m looking at you, Goob, Tracy, Kathleen, DW, and maybe 400 more), and I’m going to get to them. Watch your email boxes.
2. OMG. Srsly. Matt Capps. Inventing new ways to blow saves. Can [...]

Can I just say, again, how remarkable a set of guys our Pen-ins are? (also, I want to be best friends with The Toddler)
Not only is Hossa willing to take less cash for a run at the Cup:
“If I wanted to make a couple more dollars, I would probably just re-sign with Atlanta,” said Hossa, [...]

1. I almost witnessed a catfight today on Smithfield. I couldn’t quite tell what the two women were arguing so loudly about - something about hos or bitches or sluts or something. Unfortunately, it didn’t materialize because a friend broke it up before it had a chance to really catch fire.
I say [...]

Here’s the thing. I don’t know how much more of this I can possibly take before my heart just gives the hell up and explodes.
Tying the game in the last 30 seconds?
Triple overtime victory?
I have a headache today that would have a rhinoceros begging for its mommy and this Bruegger’s coffee that chased down [...]

Yesterday, as my family gathered for the Pens game, sitting out on my sister’s deck enjoying the sunshine, listening to the sounds of neighborhood kids playing hockey in the street, the dog barking because he’d really like to get his chops on that there hockey ball, the grill crackling with peppers, steaks, and cobbed corn, [...]

1. Pens. Pens. Pens. Tonight is the night they figure their shit out. Tonight before the game, someone, maybe Gary Roberts, is going to shake the hockey back into Evgeni Malkin. Slap the fire back into Sidney Crosby. Kick the will back into Marian Hossa.

1. Pens. NOOOOOOOOO!
It is so incredibly frustrating when you realize that we’ve got two of the best hockey players in the world and they haven’t managed to score a goal in two games.
But you know, you’ve got to give credit to the Red Wings and their incredible speed. Or am I just [...]

Well, I guess the Penguins gained that much-needed “maturity” they were lacking when they were incapable of putting the Flyers away in four games. The nerve.
They made THAT look easy didn’t they?
Thoughts:
1. Yesterday, I realized for the first time that Evgeni Malkin is not growing a playoff beard.
I kind of applaud him for that because [...]

1. Did you guys watch Dr. Pausch’s interview with Diane Sawyer last night? Don’t hate me, but I didn’t. Well, more like I COULDN’T. I’ve done everything I can to support him and his cause, but I just couldn’t bring myself to watch it because I knew it would tear me [...]
