My First Hockey Post

40th entry! To celebrate this accomplishment, I thought I'd finally post my first Penguin article. My hockey knowledge base is well below that of football and baseball, so please show me mercy with your comments. I will do my best to cover the Penguins with the same high literary standards that have I maintained in all my posts...



WITH THAT BEING SAID




maybe I should have been focusing on the Pens all along

Just when I was about to call my friend Tony and ask when Sid was expected back, I started noticing articles about The Kid's skating sessions. Although the team and local media are both downplaying an early return, I hear that the locker room chatter is that the Feb 23rd/24th weekend homestand is a stretch goal for Sid's re-entrance. The team has an iron man stretch of 7 games over 13 nights, starting tonight, and leading up to the those 2 weekend home games. Obviously, an early return would be a big boost in the arm. I will note, however, that Gwin The Eskimo is looking pretty solid with his "point per game" prediction during The Kid's hiatus. The team has managed a moderately impressive 4-2-2 (10 points) during the last 3 weeks. Of course, Ben couldn't resist the tempation of reporting the neverending story with his post about Mario skating.

Thank God that Mario can still keep us believing in miracles...

no, not that miracle...
