Birthdays, bubbles, and big hopes.

Good things

• Pens finally won a pre-season game last night!
• It's Chris Kunitz's birthday, and since he's 35 (and I'm 35), I don't feel one ounce of guilt or awkwardness in loving him.
• Speaking of Kunitz, he will be playing in tomorrow's game.
• So will Sid.

• AND...It's finally on TV.
• Also, Brandon Sutter and Beau Bennett have been on fire.

Bad things

• But...Beau might as well live in a bubble. Man down. Again.



• I don't yet have a third jersey (loving the throwback) nor tickets for a single game this season. This will need to change.
• Oili Maata and Kasperi Kapanen look too much alike. They will need to make sure they are always wearing jerseys. Or name tags.

So... you'll know where to find me tomorrow night, as well as 82 other occasions over the course of the next seven months. Looking forward to seeing what a new coach and some fresh players bring to this team.
