Now We Know
For a while now people have been wondering what Ovi's tramp stamp says.
Well, it's been translated.

Good Morning Pensblog: NHL Shop fail
As we get closer to the season, on non-game recap days we'll begin the day with something.
So send pics, wierd Youtubes, whatev. Basically, this is a blatant copy of "Wake Up Deadspin."
From [LGP]
Our guess is that everyone has become so used to the Pittsburgh Penguins turning the lights out at the Wachovia Center that this just made sense.

Good morning read, regardless of your feelings on the death penalty.:
This is a 17-page epic about some jobber executed for a crime he may have been innocent of.
Go Pens.

Just Around The Corner
Hockey season is coming.
All the signs are there.
The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting cooler.
Lidstrom is increasing the time spent icing his sack.
Ovechkin is devoting more time to Semin.
Pierre McGuire and Mike Richards are locked in a hotel room on a three day, four night leadership retreat.
Mats Sundin still doesn't know if he wants to play and Jim Balsillie is failing at buying a hockey team.
Yes, it's definitely almost hockey season.
Morning Pensblog: G20 and The Pens
As we get closer to the season, on non-game recap days we'll begin the day with something.
So send pics, wierd youtubes, whatev. Basically, this is a ballant copy of "Wake Up Deadspin."
Anyway, we'll start with this.
If you aren't worried about the lunatics coming into the city for G20.
You might want to be:
Couple that with the fact some dude showed up at a Pittsburgh Council Meeting wearing a polar bear mask and you might want to be a little more concerned.

The only reason we really care is how this effects the Pens.
They've already had to move up a preseason game to Sept. 15 [orginally slated for Sept 25.]
Also, because of G-20 the Pens, we imagine, will have to be on the road the entire week.
They have an away game Sept. 24th in Columbus, as well as a game in Detroit on Sept 27th.
According to [LGP] the Pens training camp schedule is the following:
Although it is unclear, rumors have been circling that the Airport could be shutdown, as well as the entire city of Pittsburgh for basically that week.
You'd have to think this is going to be a nightmare for the Penguins staff and players.
And not to be alarmists, but in just doing a brief Internet search we found some interesting stuff.
One Pittsburgh blogger, [Pittsburgh Comet] was at some meeting about G20, he said there were rumors of the Consol Energy Center might be receiving some extra security.
In the crowd I heard a rumor that the Consol Energy Center AKA Penguins hockey arena is in line to receive extra protection including security personnel and special fencing, considering its name may make it a target for some stuff.
Nothing concrete, but we gather someone is probably upset about energy killing something and how the environment might be effected. And Mellon is a bank, so someone is probably pissed about that too.
wahhhhhhhhhh
Steeler fans don't have to worry about Heinz field being touched unless there is some Ketchup anarchist out there we don't know about.
And quite frankly, no one cares what the fuck happens to PNC park.
Our only interests are the Mellon Arena and Consol Energy Center. We hope Mayor G20Stahl knows what he is doing.
So keep an eye out on the Internet. If we have to job some terrorist homo group, lets do it.
Go Pens
It's Malkin's Party And He'll Do What He Wants To
Via someone in cblog.
Malkin, on his day with the cup played in some game.
Check out the first :39 seconds.
Yea, that is pretty cash.
After the jump, another reason why Malkin > you.
UPDATE:
First of all I'd like to thank my parents, my mom and my dad. They have always believed and supported me. I'd also like to thank my first coach. He also always believed in me, he put his love and soul into training me. Of course i also want to thank Magnitogorsk Metallurgical Kombinat. Thank you very much for this sports complex. Thank you for the 2 best ice rinks in Russia, in my opinion, that have raised a lot of good players, and will raise future stars. It doesn't matter where we play, we always represent Magnitogork and Metallurg, the team I played for and colors I defended. Any trophy won by me or any other player will be brought to this city of Magnitogork.
(Some applause some boos in the crowd)
I would also like to thank all of the fans out there. Thank all of you that came here today. All those that were cheering for our team... (pause, as if he wanted to say Penguins) ...Metallurg. I want to wish Metallurg many many wins and winning gold in the next season. Thank you."
