The Pens looked good as they helped the Atlanta Thrashers continue THEIR losing streak.  Sorry to hear about Chris Kunitz injury, hope to see him in the Stanley Cup playoffs.

In a word, YES!  Consider how far they went down when we had so many guys injured – well, the same rebound can happen when things start coming together again.

Go PENS!

Although it’s hasn’t been a perfect season, it’s been a really good start for the Pittsburgh Penguins and I love watching.  Hopefully they can repeat as Stanley Cup Champions but, as Dan Bylsma says, it’s one game at a time.

GO PENS!

What a bunch of great guys!

Proudly wearing a 2009 Penguins playoff beard

I started growing my playoff beard the day the Penguins clinched their playoff spot and recently have told friends it’s to help Sidney Crosby because he can’t grow one himself.  Well, his is starting to fill out but I’ll keep mine anyway… don’t want to risk upsetting the apple cart.  GO PENS!

Next game Thursday, May 21 @ 7:30pm

The Penguins face off with the Washington Capitals starting Saturday, May 2.  Who will prevail, the team with the two-headed monster Crosby and Malkin or the team with Mr Do-It-Yourself Alex Ovechkin?

So, here’s the plan for Saturday.  Get your chores done early, get your snacks lined up, and get comfy in front of the TV… you won’t want to miss this game!

Face-off @ 1:00 PM EST

Go PENS!

Sid, Geno, Marc Andre Fleury… almost poetry to Penguins fans.  If anyone doubted our ability to come back, they should stop that kind of thinking NOW!

The Flyers are putting our Penguins to the test.  Will the Penguins come up with something extra to retire the Flyers for the year?  Stay tuned Saturday afternoon for the next game.

Ah, last night’s game against the Flyers felt SO GOOD!  I’m growing a playoff beard  – who else?  GO PENS!

Wow, it’s been nine days since my last post? Unbelievable but absolutely true. I’m trying to find my rhythm and there’s just a lot to do and a lot to think about. FYI, I prefer to NOT post if I’m in a bad mood…. just doesn’t seem right that you’d have to put up with that, right?

Hey, a big HOWDY and thank you to niece Sherry Kinzey for sending me her new snail mail address. She and husband Scott are moving ‘up’ in the world which is actually ‘down’stairs to a bigger apartment. Congratulations, kiddo!

Also, a big thank you to Andrea Townsend, one of our placemat ad sales ladies, for reminding me of a few calls I needed to make for her and Linda. I’ll see if it’s ok to publish some bio information on them… both are very nice ladies and a HUGE help to me running the business.

How about those Penguins? Yes, they lost in a shootout last night but they gained one point toward the playoffs by coming back and tying up the score after being down 3-0 to Columbus. Go Pens!
