2008-09 Penguins Schedule – for Outlook…

I am really looking forward to the NHL season this year, so as I did with the Steeler season, I looked around for a CVS file (or excel, as the case may be) for the Pittsburgh Penguins and found one right on the Pens site.

I made two adjustments to the schedule:

  1. I included text in the CATEGORY field (Personal), because I share my business calendar and didn’t want to share the Pens schedule with those who aren’t interested (pearls before swine, you know). 😉
  2. I set the REMINDERONOFF field to FALSE because I don’t need reminders.  I use my DVR, generally.

Follow the instructions on the Pens site.  It works great.

GO PENS!

Ten Reasons I Am Proud to be a Pens Fan…

Last night the Pittsburgh Penguins fell just short of taking the contest into overtime for a second straight game. So ended their fantastic hockey season. As with any fan-base, there will be those who boo and howl about the loss, but I am proud to stand separate from them for lots of reasons. Here are some:

  1. Those young players played their hearts out right up until the end.
  2. The victories in the playoffs and in the championship series were team efforts, not the work of just a few.
  3. They were beaten by a great franchise, not by the Flyers.
  4. They gave us a great season, providing great entertainment for their fans for months.
  5. They didn’t whine in the post-game interviews.
  6. Geno stuck with it, playing hard in spite of being shut out one game after another.
  7. Two words: Sydney Crosby.
  8. Jágr does not wear the black and gold.
  9. Two words: The Flower.
  10. I actually am from the area my team calls home.

I can’t wait until next year.

Now — bring on the NFL. GO STILLERS!
