We definitley experienced the evolution...



Man oh man, Sid the Kid is the show about town. We also saw the best goal of the trip so far, Malkin ripped a shot from near the goal line, bottom of the circle into the top corner...the direhard Penguin's fan that I was sitting beside was loving it. Penguins 3 - 2, and it was never a contest for the Pens.



It's all "Experience the Evolution"...which we all hope they get to realise, there's no doubt in their minds that the Penguins are here to stay:


Here's a stat - Penguins haven't lost in regular time since Jan 10th! Oh boy, Staal, Malkin, Crosby, Whitney, Armstrong, Talbot..Recchi...the list goes on and on...definitley the most exciting team to watch. Here's the 4th line:


Perhaps I am caught in the Penguins fever but dang, they are soooo fun to watch! Ovechin worked hard but he needs a lot more support!!

Now what do I have to say about Pittsburgh, or as I have politely heard it termed...Shittsburgh! That's pretty rough, I reckon! This city has been great to Ed, Mark and I since we arrived and besides the fact that there is nowhere to get a breakfast on Sunday morning it turned out to be an awesome hockey town.



Mario the Magnificient stilll rules the hockey world here and we met soooo many hockey fans...it's great to talk hockey with fans that love the game. Keep in mind that Ed's conculsion of the city is that everything is old!! If you drive into this city from the airport or from Columbus, you drive through a tunnel that shoots you out right onto a bridge across the river into town...not bad!

Wonderful scenic trip from Columbus to Pittsburgh:

Chris, I wish that I had of known in January that you were going to be in San Jose, we would have made the trip to see you. Looks like you're having a pretty good time though, keep it up.

Cheers.
