first hockey night

g's first hockey night with mm.
mellon arena.
mm said g was
completely enthralled.

pens win 5-4 over sabres.
pens score first goal 47 seconds in!
letestu - a rookie.
first goal of his career.
1-0.

later in the first period,
two sabre goals.
roy and vanek!
48 seconds apart.
1-2.

in the second,
another sabre goal.
kennedy.
1-3.

still in the second,
pens score. a lot.
crosby scores.
2-3.
staal scores.
3-3.
crosby scores TWO more!
no way! a hat trick!
the fifth of his career.
hats all over the ice!

g is VERY worried about this.
"how will everyone get their hats back?"
"what happens to all the hats?"
"why would they do that?"
etc.
5-3.

sabres make it interesting in the third.
one goal for pominville.
5-4.
a couple of power plays for the sabres.
but they just can't make it happen.

an excellent game.
even better for your first experience.
g will have high expectations
for all future hockey games.

well worth all the driving.
i just wish i had a picture of
mm in his pominville jersey
and g in his crosby jersey.
walking into the arena.
dang.

note to self - take more pictures.

some also threw their free "penguins reusable grocery bag" on the ice - i thought that was even more horrifying!

wonder if they donate them? there were some nice looking hats.

i suggested crosby sign all of them and give them to charity.
