Mr. Pants needs to be on the Food Network so I can retire and just blog all day. There are so many good things!
You’ve all heard by now that the Crosbot is practicing with the Pens. He’s not cleared for contact, but aren’t you just glad to see this face?!
Here’s the post-practice interview [link]. This whole thing just makes me want to do the Sidney Crosby dance. Ask Gator, she’s seen it.
Now I don’t want to get too far ahead of myself. It makes no sense to eat all your Twizzlers before the movie starts, right? So I’m just going to post this picture and say nothing (muffled incoherent squealing).
Geno had 2 goals in the Black & Gold scrimmage, and said his knee feels as good as new. I cannot wait to see him skating! JStaaaaaaal also had two goals, and has been practicing on a line with Kunitz and the Nealmobile. Man, I am going to freak out if that’s how this season starts. Post-game interview [link].
The Pens have their first pre-season game tomorrow against Detroit. It’s Pants vs. Gator, Round One. Check out the website graphic – last game was end of last season. Get that crap out of here! Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to order the NHL Network.

TODAY, I love you! The Blackhawks are in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan – aka the breadbasket of Canada – to take on the Oilers. SQUEEEEEE! I’m so desperate to watch I’m using an IP blocker so I can actually stream the game.
Even more adorkable, JToews is playing with his baby brother David. Can I get a collective “Awwwwww?” Jon was interviewed yesterday about how David is messier than him, and he has to sometimes “Get on his case.” Heart explosion.
You can watch the video here – including Jon sass some reporter who drops his recorder. Captain Serios, I love you: http://video.blackhawks.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=690&id=123733
Can I just say aww to JToews and RAWR to Sid’s big, smiley face?! Plus Baby Staal on a line with Nealmobile?! Ladies everywhere will faint when that line scores! [no pun intended].
I’ve missed hockey. Today I met a Slovakian doctor who just about collapsed in shock when I mentioned I’d heard of Zdeno Chara. And met him. And then nearly died laughing when I told him the story of trying to wish the Big Guy a happy birthday in Slovakian [epic FAIL].
How long to hockey time again!? I’m glad in Bruins wear & sleeping in my Savvy shirt but mornings like it. EVER.
That face! I just want to grab those cheeks! So happy to see him happy.
