Amazing Weekend for the Pens

And I'm back! Well this weekend was definitely a good one for Flower and the Pens. Flower was an absolute champ in net on Friday night - the only goal he allowed was from a 5 on 3 opportunity (on a call from the refs that was compleeetely BS) and the crowd was absolutely going nuts for him. I was a crazy paparazzi at the game so here are some of my fave pics!

Anywho, the game was beyond amazing and the arena is really spectacular. My friends and I even lucked out and got to meet some of the players after the game (Note - Rookies? Super nice. Tyler Kennedy? Not so much, at least not to us.)

I love Sid's smile after he scored. What a cutie!



Moving on! They followed it up with another great game on Saturday night against the Thrashers, with the team superstars shining brightly - Malkin got a hat trick and had a 4 point night and Sid had a three point night (1G,2A). Such studs.

In other news:

The Islanders are sitting on a record of 0-9-1 in their last ten games and with it, have fired the head coach. Ron Wilson next? (The Leafs are sitting at 1-7-2 in the last ten)

 All-Star voting has begun! I totally added Jack Johnson, Kris Letang and Paul Bissonnette to my voting options.

The Pens are playing the Rangers tonight and some of the players caught up with former teammate Ruslan Fedetenko. I love that they are still friendly! Such cuteness

Jeff Carter is going to be a Flyer for the next 11 years - reports are saying he signed an 11 year, $58 million contract. He and Mike Richards can continue their bromance for many years to come

Avery was up to his usual antics and pissed off everyone in Edmonton when he seemed to turn down a fight with an Oiler after the player came to teammate Colin Fraser's defense (after a huge hit from Avery) and then basically jumped him. Oilers were maaaaaaaaad.
