Penguins season opener tonight...I'll be there, anybody else going?

They are pretty much sold to that Canadian guy who owns Blackberry also. I really hope they are staying in town, which means we need that arena!

I'm going student rush style...show your student ID at gate 8 an hour before the game and pay 20 bucks for the best seats available...cant beat that.

 

Lol... good luck with that. I thought they were sold out already. I do hope they stay in town. I've heard conflicting reports on that though.

 

It's stil foooootball season....

Just found out I got me tickets to teh Cheifs game next weekend !!

Kinda nose-bleed-ish, but hey.... at least I'm going... and they were the big F-R-E-E-E-B-I-E

 

sweet, free tickets are always nice!
football on sundays and mondays, hockey every other night

 

The company I work for has a corporate suite, and I might be getting a few tickets to that later in the season, but these ones are from the foreman here.

Now I just need to find me a cute female to say "hey... I got tix to the game... wanna go? "

 

well...im not that cute...or a female...but i drive a nice car! and i wanna go

 

I'm from Waterloo where RIM is based. I golf at the same course as the Owners of RIM. I really hope they bring the PENS to S-W Ontario! WOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Ps, i was in Pit last year, beautiful city in the spring.

 

I really hope they stay in Pittsburgh...one way or another!
update: he just signed the purchase agreement, now the nhl has to approve

 

you need to come to the burgh in late october... Fall is the best time to SEE PA.

Summer is the best time to drive in pa, except for the fall colors make a nice drive.

 

Yeah, I think I'd like nothing more than to drive down for a Steelers game.

 

holy freakin crap...anybody watch that game? pens pummeled the flyers 4-0, fleury had 40 saves! and the pens had ten penalties to kill.

wow, what a game...lets hope this is a start to a successful season.

the new owner got quite a show tonight, i guarentee you that!

 

yep... the S.O.G. ratio was HUGE between teh two teams.

They have got to learn to cut down on the penalties, though. THat was insane. I think everytime I looked up someone was going in the box.


They didn't look too bad. Maybe I'll have to take a game in this year. That would make 1 game for each Pro sports team in town this year.,

 

If only Malkin was in the line up....he'll help out your team BIG time

 

Those pens did look good last night. And that Forsberg guy from philly is gay...he needs to retire before hes even more of a nobody than he will be this year since they picked up Umberger

 

oh yeah, i was almost there to watch the game too.

did you go splink?

 

Eh... I don't know. They have Fleury to thank for last night. They need to stiffen up on defense. The PK looked good... quick shifts. They just need to control the puck a little more.

 

Why go for a team thats gonna get whooped my the Senators?





Just kiding. May the best team win!

 

steelers games are definitely worth the trip. that team is awesome. The funny thing is they only won one game this year so far bt the espn analysts still have them as the #3 team because they know when they start to win, no one has a chance

 

I dont know if this will be the year for the pens or not. Only time will tell. not to mention all the deals on trying to buy them may distract the team

 

yeah, i was at the game, one of the better games i have been to.

its too early to tell if this is their season, only one game down.

there are alot of distractions for the players too, but the sell is pretty much ready to go, the guy signed the purchase agreement yesterday before the game.

fluery was all over them last night, he is the man...we do need to pick up our defense a bit, but they are making improvements from last season, you could see that yesterday, they are passing, stick handling, moving around...its nice to finally see a group of young kids (im only 22 and i can call them young kids...) finally pulling together in such a promising way.

 

I see you failed to mention the a$$ beating from Toronto you guys got last night!!!

Anyhow, Pittsburgh did look good yesterday...but I have to say this: GO HABS GO!!!!

 

I got tix for the game against the cheifs next weekend... this will be my 1st "outdoor" game watching the Steelers. The past games Iv'e gone to, I was in corporate suites, so I never got cold....lol, nor did i have to pay for food, drink, parking...

Should be a fun game. Time will tell abotu the Pens and this season.

Let's go BUCKS! lol

 

They did look better. But you can't rely on Fleury to stop that many shots every game.

Did you end up getting the student rush seats? How good were they? I'm gonna have to do taht for some more games this year... I'm not a student anymore, but that's not what my Pitt ID says.

 

yeah...umm, im not a student either...but my id has no date on it so ill use it as long as i can. i went to about 15 games last season and 1 so far this season. the worst i sat in was c section, that was with a group of 4 of us. with two or three i sit in a or b. i was in b last night, section b1 row g. just show up an hour before the game (usually around 6) and go to gate 8 with 20 bucks.

btw...last season, the earliest i got to any game was a few minutes before faceoff, i have yet to be turned away.

it is one heck of a deal, sitting in 80 dollar seats for 20 bucks!

 

There was no last night
