Hocus Pocus we can all get behind.

So, Columbus, how're ya feeling today?



Pens defeat the Blue Jackets 4 to 3 in a nail-biting shootout victory. Sadly, I wound up missing all but 12 minutes of regulation, but by God, overtime and the shootout had me on my feet and screaming so loud I'm pretty sure I woke the fetus. Sid also became the first Penguin to convert five consecutive shootout attempts. This team just continues to amaze me more and more, and I do feel sorry for everyone who isn't a Pens fan. You just don't know what you're missing.

Oh, and I just want to ask what all the "With Geno hurt, we'll never win" naysayers think of the team today.

Tonight: Pens v. Wild. DO IT.

Oh hai there Hocktober!

Being of sound mind and a Pens Broad...we're not gonna bother doing that 'Twas the night before the season opener. We did it before camp, and we have no lack of creativity where we would have to return to an old post, tweak a few things and shove it at yinz like it was something fresh.

With Ovechkin carrying Bettman's balls into this year's season opener, we can't help but kiss Lord Stanley, dream of what that new banner will look like hanging over us in Mellon, and say to ourselves "Ovie who?" We're reminded that not everyone can handle swimming in the deep end of Mario's pool with The Cup...

So to start the season off right, and to make sure our fellow Pens Broad Cafrine raises her child properly, we're tailoring a nursery rhyme for her once a week. @ww87mm started it all: Maybe we can do an I'm a little teapot ode to ovie!

DONE.

I'm a gap-toothed douchebag with no Stanley Cup,

Here is my tramp stamp when Caps gave up.

I can't play the defensive zone, I just choke

Cause everyone knows I'm a Red Rocket joke.

BTW pour a Yuengling on the curb for ol' Biz Nasty and reserve a table for Bourque at 9 on 9.

Go Pens.
