Last night I watched Ovechkin get his 500th career point. I actually cheered on the Rangers. I still feel dirty. We need some Penguins hockey quick!
The numbers I really care about are the inches of snow and the length of travel delays to DC. :-)

Starting to snow here in DC….Roads clear but they’re calling for up to 30 inches in the next 24 hours.

It’s already started piling up here in Morgantown, WV (surely most of you Pburghers know where I’m talking about), and they’re calling for another 8-15". Snow flakes the size of your head right now.
Best part is, it’s tax season, so I have to work tomorrow no matter what! :(

Yeah it’s something. I’m glad to see hockey get more popular in these parts but some of the bandwagon-ism makes me smile.

really? from what most “hockey fans” tell me the Penguins are the only ones with bandwagon fans…..

Everyone likes a winner, no doubt. I guess it’d probably be the same for a non-Pens fan in Pittsburgh (worse, since Pens won the title) but I guess that’s how it goes in America. Even in Chicago you can kill hockey with terrible ownership and a bad product.

Yea I know I was just kidding. The way I look at it tho, if a there are bandwagon fans that means the team is growing in popularity, and that cant be a bad thing. Heck Ovie got mentioned by Kornheiser on tv the other day, and he wasnt even playing against Crosby!!

Kornheiser is notorious around these parts. I don’t think he’s ever sat through a full game. He usually goes to about 1 hockey game a year, sits in Leonsis’ box and is gone by the 2nd period…..Probably past his bed time by that point anyways.

That was actually a pretty exciting game. A lot of scoring but it definitely didn’t end the way I wanted it to.
Follow the Penguins on SBN @ Pensburgh.com and twitter.
Craig Adams, 98 points.
So when can we expect him to hit the 100 mark? 2012? OMG Craig Adams 100th point will be the end of the world!!!

I can hardly believe he’s only 21.
Ovechkin = Green Backs

I'm calling the triple bank shot
Eaton with the assist to set career highs, Sid with the second assist for #300, and Gonchar with the goal for #200
I thought about working Craig Adams in there, but that would just be crazy talk.
