The "NHL 36" series has documented what life is like for NHL players in the 36 hours before a game.  So we're gonna document what a Pens fan goes through in the 36 hours leading up to face-off.

 

 

TUESDAY

 

7:38am -- Wake up for work.  Go into the bathroom for a morning session with your favorite mobile device.   See what's going down on Twitter, check out some blogs, some news sites, watch random playoff YouTube clips from 2009.

 

8:43am -- Get off the toilet and jump in the shower.  This can be done almost in one continuous motion.

8:53am -- Get out of the shower and step up to the sink to brush and floss.  While brushing, you realize your shaving gel/cream and razor have no business being on the sink ledge and put them up in the medicine cabinet.  Close the cabinet and check your beard's progress in the mirror. 

9:00am -- You should be dressed and deodorized and grabbing your keys.

9:37am -- Knowingly nod to some person in traffic that has a Pens window cling on their back window.
