The Boys Are Back In Town

Ladies and gentlemen, the Pittsburgh Penguins.

How I would love to be at tonight's game against the Sabres. Reports say that they are going to announce it at tonight's game to make it official, and hopefully go over some more details of the deal...such as where they're going to be playing while the arena is being built (most likely the Igloo). I would really like to hear it from Mario, on air and live, to make this seem real. We've been waiting years now for this (eight I believe? Ellie can correct me if I'm wrong), and it just wouldn't seem right without a public showing by him.

Versus is airing the game tonight at 7:30 pm, and I can only imagine how pumped the Penguins and all the fans in the Mellon are going to be. Go Pens!

Yaaaaay! I'm doing a happy dance here in Buffalo for all you Pens fans.

Thanks! Tonight's game is going to rock, I hope you can watch it!

Elly, I'll be watching! I'm happy for you guys, but I'm still pulling for my boys to win of course. You can celebrate tomorrow :-)

Ellie said...

yep - 8 long years in the making. now we can all sleep better : )

I wish I was home - I have trouble getting Versus up here but hopefully I can find a live stream somewhere...

Ellie said...

oh I think I just read somewhere that they'll still be playing in the Igloo for the next two seasons.

but yeah it would be nice to be at the game tonight - I tried to go last week, but scalpers wanted $100 a ticket (for D level) and us poor college kids had to pass : (

Hey, I'll admit it, I was happy for you guys - I even did a little happy-esque post about it earlier today. It's happy-esque only because your team keeps beating up on my team ;)

Not sharing any of your brilliant immediate reaction over here, 'ly?

Also you better enjoy the game tonight for me, damn class!

Heather b: Lol, it almost looked like your guys were going to make us party tomorrow (or today, rather), great comeback! I was so upset that the Pens couldn't win in regulation, though! lol

Ellie: Yeah, I figured they were going to back at the Mellon...well, nothing wrong with that! Heck, they could play in someone's backyard for the season and I'd be happy about it. Ouch on the tickets...100 for D?

Capschick: Thanks! I actually hadn't realized how much we had until I checked the stats, I always think of a Caps game as a big one.

Steph: And no, I figure pointing out how I ran around like an idiot and stepped in a snow bank on one blog was enough.

Elly: Just trying to keep it interesting for you guys :-) I was a little disappointed we didn't pull it out after fighting back but with all the injuries and young guys, I'm happy for every point. Right now I just want every one to be rested and healthy for the playoffs. Congrats though :-)
