Tomorrow is the date of three very important happenings.
1. Tomorrow is Sidney Crosby’s 21st birthday, so now when Pens Fan gives him that “mrowr” look, it won’t be quite so icky.
Get on with your cougar selves, ladies.

2. Tomorrow is the Bryan Adams concert at the Byham. [deep calming breaths]
3. [...]

So much to point you toward. Here goes:
1. First up, the Nine Funniest NHL Names of All Time.
Of course, our new Penguin Satan is on there. So is Harry Dick.
Tee-hee. Somebody’s parents hated him.
2. A letter to the Winnipeg Sun:
All of us who have played hockey, and faced an opponent [...]

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.
Some outside coverage:
The gap between the Penguins [...]

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. Tennessee is out of the NCAA championship with a ridiculous loss to Louisville yesterday. There goes my hopes of dominating the Sportsocracy contest. Damn brackets. I frickin’ hate brackets.
2. The Pirates’ Kuwata, who likely would not have made the roster, retired from baseball and was asked to pitch one [...]

1. I’m over Jason Castro and his gorgeous eyes, sticky dreads, and ’sup, dude? ‘tude. I’m getting over Brooke White’s Who? Little ole me? furrowed eyebrow schtick. I’ve been over David Archuleta’s lip-licking, heavy-breathing singing and I was never under any other contestant.
Now, in addition to finding Michael Johns suddenly worthy of my listening ears, [...]
