Lets fight over a $200 dollar stick.  Genius.  Anyways I witnessed this after the game last night.  The douche:booze consumption ratio was perfect and then the fists started flying.  Gotta feel bad for the little girl though….

So the Penguins came to California for the first time since 06.   And you can bet ur money that I took advantage of it.  First up was the Ducks game.

I decided to surprise my dad the day before and was able to score some cheap tickets up high cause any seat inside the Honda Center is a good one.   I don’t really get to see him very much when school is going on and so I gladly paid for em.  Had an absolute blast with him and we were rewarded with about 10,000 other pens fans to cheer with.   I love Pittsburgh fans.

Two days later me and my brother were sitting 4 rows behind the glass at Staples Center watching our team up close.  Talk about awesome.  Every hit was felt in our seats and I’m pretty sure the Kings fans around us hated us for yelling just about every time something exciting happened.  Ask us if we cared.  Though the Pens did not pull out the W this time around, I am already itching to see em again.  Also this was actually the highlight of the night:

“It’s the third period and the score is 2-2, still a solid game, when the jumbotron goes to this Navy guy who was standing at center ice for the anthem. He’s the “Hero of the night”, guess they do this regularly with people in uniform. Can’t argue with giving the troops some love, and the announcer starts in with the bio of this Navy guy, he’s served in Iraq, his division, etc., and the cheering is building, the Navy guy is looking around soaking it up, and just as the whole emotional moment peaks…. the Navy guy whips out a “Let’s Go Pens” towel and starts waving it around. 18,360 people = stunned. A few seconds of silence and then boos rain down, mixed with a big cheer from the Pens fans in attendance. The jumbotron stays with the guy for at least 30 seconds as the announcer finishes his bit, and the Navy guy is just giving the towel to the camera the whole time. Outstanding. Definitely the Pensblog hero of the night.”

This is Bora Bora. Pretty much the greatest place on the planet to me even though I’ve never been there….I’m starting to save for my honeymoon already. Fat chance I’ll actually end up there, but hey its worth a shot right?? But seriously Google Earth this crap, its unreal.
