New Video

So... I made a video, for my podcasting class. This one has actual video clips, this time, unlike the last one. It is quite similar though, focusing mainly on the Stanley Cup Finals. Also, it may be a good idea to stop watching before the end, because I had to say something on the video, and its stuck on at the end. So...blah. Anyway, check the video out. Tell me what you think. I think its pretty neat.

Race to Four, Not Race to One

It's the race to four, not the race to one.

That's why I'm not worried about the Penguins chances in this round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Even though they lost the first game by a slim margin, they still have six more chances to get to the elusive four wins.

Tonight, is the first of those six. Again they will meet with the Ottawa Senators, and again they will get a chance to defend their Stanley Cup Champion status. To any doubted, I say, anything can happen in the playoffs. It's like a brand new season.

Goodbye, Igloo

Last night, as Pittsburgh Penguins fans, we said goodbye. It was like saying goodbye to a childhood home, or an old friend. We said goodbye to the Mellon Arena, The Civic Arena, the Igloo.

Technically, it wasn't really a final goodbye. That will come later. But it was a ceremonial goodbye. It was the last regular season home game to be played in the Mellon Arena.

And boy, did the Pens go out with a bang. We all hoped they would win this game. It would have been sad if they hadn't. But who expected the outcome that they got?

Just a few highlights:

They beat the Islanders 7-3.

Sidney Crosby got his 500th career point.

Marc-Andre Fluery made a spectacular triple save.

Bill Guerin became the first player to score 20 goals with at least 7 teams (he's played with the Pens, Islanders, Blues, Stars, Bruins, Oliers, and Devils, as well as the Sharks).
