If you dont worry not i will explain. Foley’s Pub aka our Penguins bar in NYC was doing a raffle for 2 tickets to 2011 Winter Classic. Everyone who came on Wednesdays had a chance at winning them. Guess what!? I won them!!! Here is a shot of Shaun the owner of the bar presenting tickets to me last night: http://is.gd/jopdF
The sad part is that i can not go. After long and deliberate pondering of what to do with the tickets i have decided to sell them and put money to good use. I am going to sell the tickets and buy myself lots of useless junk i don’t really need! WOO HOO! Yeah right just kidding. I am not going to do that.
I am selling the tickets and putting money towards no other than our very own MouthFullOfTang‘s college bill! So that she can hopefully one day finally graduate from college and then go work for Pittsburgh Penguins organization. I don’t think i could have come up with better use for the money. Check out video she recently made about our Meetup group.
I am putting the tickets up for auction on ebay. So if you want to bid and support the cause this money will go towards go ahead and bid high! Here is the link to the ebay auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/150538774077
Please help to spread the word. Thanks!
Special thanks to Foleys Pub and the owner Shaun who made all this possible!
I’d feel remiss if I didn’t mention the fact that Kris Letang is having a hell of a year. Thankfully, fans are recognizing his accomplishments, and have catapulted him into first place in defenseman voting for the All-Star game with 342,118 votes as of this afternoon. Now, the All-Star game essentially means absolutely nada in the NHL (much to my chagrin…only thing I like about baseball more is their All-Star game determining home advantage in the finals but I digress) but it would be nice for Kris to participate if only so we get more pictures like this:

and, even cute things like this:
So, on to the real reason I spent 15 minutes fighting wordpress to log in today…
I finally finished a short documentary on the New York City Pittsburgh Penguins Meetup Group. usbzoso speaks often for his love of the Meetup group, and now you can all see why for yourselves!
Remember that team we all know and love? No, not USA, Canada, Russia, or even Belarus. The PITTSBURGH PENGUINS! Remember them?!?!?! Well, just to remind you of something that brings us all together, rather than ignites crazy nationalistic arguments, here is Jim Shearer’s latest episode of Yinz Luv Da Guins:
Jim Shearer was in the house again last night at Foley’s with the Meetup group, catching up with us all, seeing how we spent our summers as Champions. Ok, so maybe we’re not really Champions, but still… ya know. We all did some pretty epic stuff since the last time he saw us. Check it out:
I’ve been saying it for years, and I’ll say it again, you just cannot have enough Russian in your everyday life. People without the pleasure of some Russian influence just have no idea what they are missing out on.
I’m a firm believer in some tough love, when the situation is right. For example, Pascal tends to react favorably performance wise when usbzoso verbally berates him by roaring “PASCAL, YOU SUCK” as he misses the net by 15 feet… for the third time in a game.
Now, we all know our very favorite Russian, Zhenya Malkin, has just not been himself recently. I could sit here and speculate for the next 3 hours why that is, but I’ll leave it up to you to pick your favorite excuse. It could be anything from a lack of health or lack of confidence to a lack of Mama Malkin’s borscht or lack of satisfying blowjobs from Oksana. Whichever it is, it needs to be rectified…and soon.
Now, screaming “EVGENI, YOU SUCK!” is just not going to work with Malkin. First of all, he probably wouldn’t understand you anyway. Secondly, Geno is just the type of guy that needs understanding support, and reacts better to some old-fashioned unconditional love. So, in an effort to gently kick Geno into high gear, I offer up this reminder:
Also, as a quick aside, Geno is virtually ensured to snap out of this funk Wednesday night, and have a HUGE game, in honor of usbzoso, since it’s his birthday! That puck hitting the back of the twine for the first time in 10 games will be Geno’s С Днем Рождения to him!
Letang finally got his first goal of the season last night against the Ducks.
This is a moment I have been waiting for since, well, opening night. Opening night, at Nassau Coliseum with 120+ Penguins fans, I would have loved Letang to get his first of the year. Last Saturday, I was in attendance at Nationwide Arena, and again would have loved to see Tanger’s first goal in person. All I got that night was to see him fall down while trying to take a shot early in the first, miss two wide open nets in the final 30 seconds of overtime, and miss in a shootut. But it’s ok, the Penguins still won, and I still knew his day would come. (more…)
Privet! I’m MouthFullOfTang. This is a perfect night for me to make my introduction to the blog, since my husband had his first two point game of the season. USBZOSO can’t be with you tonight because he is at an undisclosed location with a mouth full of Geno. After Geno’s monsterous performance tonight, no one can dispute he certainly deserves the blowjob.
According to Insider Sports Max is recovering well and is expected to be back in 5-6 weeks! Max was working with Mike Kadar during Friday’s practice and starting to get more velocity on his shots! Woo Hoo! Can’t wait to see him on ice again getting superstar treatment. Till Max is back Disco Dan is looking to utilize Chris Bourque. Chris was skating with 2nd line during Friday’s practice. (more…)
Forces of evil were hard at work last night. It all started when i woke up with a bad hangover from night before. There was just a broken train, a cab, a stolen ticket, then Domski, then rain and traffic that stood between us and our mission. I knew today was going to be an especially hard day for all of us, but we live for moments like these. We breath them and we feed on their energy, we chew them up and then we spit them out. Moments like these define who we are and what we stand for. Yes i knew we were going to win this game. I knew this 3 months ago when i was talking to Peter at Foley’s. I told him, “Peter, i understand that you are a Penguins game virgin. However, October 3rd you got a date! You are gonna get some on October 3rd, baby! You are finally getting laid!” Now, i might not know much about getting laid, being on a date, or even hockey. I do have a refined sense of predicting the future thanks to my great grandma who was named Zhenya in honor of the great Geno Malkin. ( *WARNING* if you are wearing a hat take it off before reading the next sentence) Rest in peace grandma i will always love you.
Yesterday was a great day! Pens Raised their 3rd banner during awesome pregame ceremony. I am sure somebody must have dropped a tear or two while the banner was raising.
