Game 7 and birthdays
Today could be huge in many ways.
1) Today would have been my dad’s 76th birthday. Cheers old man, wish you could be here for…
2) game 7 of the Pens/Habs series and
3) Potentially the last game EVER at Mellon Arena
Now I know that every game that I’ve attended could have very well been that for me and the arena but tonight the harsh reality is here. It’s game 7! Around 10pm EST tonight someone will be calling to make tee times and I hope its not the Pens.
With all of the talk today about the game I want to bring something up. Your superstitions have nothing to do with the outcome. Previous records in game 7′s, with home ice and blah blah blah. What tonight comes down to is who wants it more. Who gets the bounces and who gets the calls. Doesn’t matter what market you live in the news will skew the odds so that your team will be favored. Fact of the matter is both teams are dead even. Playing in Pittsburgh is a plus for the Pens because of fan energy but besides that put away your inflatable whatevers and that jersey you haven’t washed in a year.
If the Pens lose I’m ready to walk out one last time. I’ve said my goodbye to the arena already. I just don’t wanna shave this dead sexy pimpin beard I have off yet. Not like this at least.
LETS GO PENS!
