Big Brother (6) interviews little sister 4, about her hockey future.

Our little sister is CRAZY about hockey

This is where being a hockey journalist gets tough.  I love the Pens so I’m fucking biased.  They are close to me and my son Max, daughter Cassidy and the rest of the clan all like the Pens.  However, they are now starting to root for the Steelers and that means they are rooting for a rapist.  Now I cannot explain that to a bunch of children.  I simply have to hope that like in Heaven Can Wait, someone kills that piece of shit on the field.

However, instead of like the movie, I hope he comes back as a stupid criminal who ends up in jail and gets a taste of his own medicine.

The end.

Well it took the New York Islanders minus one BJ pretending player to end the curse I feared would leave the Pens 0-41 at home.  Also an amazingly crappy call by the refs had to be overcome as it seemed the curse was in full force when Pens defenseman Scott Letang was flagged for a blow to the head.  Maybe the little head because it was obvious to anyone other than the refs who watched live that it wasn’t even close to a head shot.

Off to watch my son Max, 6, play football.  He won’t play hockey but when he does he’s gonna be a machine.  He destroys kids on the football field.  “Dad I just want to hit.” when asked why he doesn’t want to play Quarterback or running back.  LOL.

The heavyweight title fight it was supposed to be, never was as the Penguins opened Counsel Arena (for those of you not cryptic, I’m mocking the unmemorable and confusing name)  as a nearly 2-1 favorite against defending Eastern Conference champs, the Flyers. Side note, what a stupid line.  It was basically saying that hey this new building is going to make the Penguins 2 times as good as the defending champs.  Um, it don’t work that way. And a few of my Vegas friends are glad I knew that!

Back the Console Centre.  All the hype, money, plans, drawings, 9,000 person waiting list to buy season tickets, etc.  They forgot one thing, to bring that winning swagger.  The Penguins left it at the Igloo.

Pens pacing 0-42 at home.

Think about it.  There is no other dramatic difference to this team than the place they play.  Now I don’t believe in ghosts but look at the facts.  Lose game one to Philly.  OK that should have, could have and did happen.  Game to, the REVENGE game against the Canadiens.  No Halak?  No way Pens lose.  But wait.  They blow a 1 goal lead with less than 3 minutes left and lose in REGULATION.  I hear the boos but they ain’t only from the fans.

Now the 0-2 pens go on the road and hand it to the Devils (ironic).  Is Satan (not Satan the player) but the evil mortal enemy of God, putting his hands on the mighty Penguins?  Was the new Concorde center build on some sort of ancient burial ground?  Why is this happening?  We hit the streets to find out.

"I see dead people...."

“Um, I don’t know.  Anything is possible.  But I know I didn’t pay $18,000 for season tickets just so I don’t have to crap in front of a bunch of drunks anymore.”

odd but at least Pens won at Igloo

said an obviously pissed off fan who early Wednesday.  

I hope and pray for Pittsburgh’s sake that I’m wrong.

"I see dead people......"

But Dangeroushockey rarely is, and I’m smellin a Mellon.  What kind of Penguin moves out of their Igloo to an Energy Center anyways?

There was much reaction on my previous story (see below) about Sean Avery and his run in with NY Islanders defenseman James Wisniewski.  The more I thought about it, the more I realized this was more and more just another sports love story.  Like the guy for Boise State who proposed on one knee after scoring a touchdown in the BCS game.

Or the fans caught making love on the Jumbotron during the Toronto Blue Jays game.  Was this simply a genuine gesture of love between two grown men who happen to be playing on opposite teams in the NHL?  Hmmmm?  Maybe?  I know that it used to be a gesture of love from my wife to me many many years ago.  And in a game full of aggression and violence, why not?  Why not embrace what we witnessed live yesterday?  Then again during the SLOW MOTION instant replay as what it was on the surface, a wonderful moment between 2 consenting adults.  As Larry Flynt would say ” .”

Well I’m not sure what he’d say.  Ask him.  God I love hockey.  Still no response from the Islanders front office on my email on how to explain what happened to my 6 year old.  He was showing off his new “Hockey Move” at football practice last night much to the horror of all the hot mom’s there.

The cup comes home to Buffalo.  I love this kid.  Fuck yeah Kane.  Don’t compromise for anyone.  He’s the Axl Rose of the NHL.  Avery is such a bitch.

At the age of 42, I currently weigh 230 lbs. I’m in below average shape, constant pain and need to lose 40 lbs. My mission, to become the best hockey player I have ever been. Better than I was when I was 20. Can I still do it? I know I can. But will I? Stay tuned……What say you?
