Podcast time!

Hey everyone, thought we would try something different this time and gave podcasting a try. Joining me are my friends Jamie and Pablo. We chat about the Pens and the NHL in general. Hope you enjoy!

The Dynasty Continues

Well the NASCAR season has ended, and the outcome was the same as it has been for the past few years. Jimmie Johnson won his 5th straight championship.

Could the outcome have been different? Possibly.
Hamlin battled many issues throughout the day, including spinning out and a poor handling car.

Harvick looked to be in contention, until a questionable speeding penalty put him behind for awhile.

I still can't believe the result, and I think that NASCAR needs to try and tweak the Chase format somehow, because Johnson has obviously mastered it, and is basically controlling the sport.

Pens vs Hurricanes: A Night of Incredible Luck

As I said last time, I went to the Pens vs Hurricanes game on November 19th with my friend Jamie and another friend of ours, Pablo. Jamie & I had tickets up in section 225, Pablo did Student Rush and ended up in section 116. We were all pumped to be going to the game because we all love the Pens, and Jamie & I were excited to get to see one of our favorite non-Penguins, Eric Staal, play in person.

The Final Stretch

Well, the 2010 NASCAR season is about to draw to a close, and for the first time in years, we are going into the final race not knowing who the champion will be.
With the points lead is Denny Hamlin, a driver everyone counted out early in the season when he had to undergo knee surgery.
15 points behind Hamlin, is 4-time defending champ, Jimmie Johnson. At this point, everyone simply expects him to win everything.
And in 3rd place, 46 points behind, is dark-horse Kevin Harvick. Someone most people have not expected a whole lot out of, but is a skilled and determined racer.

Any of these 3 drivers could come out of the race on Sunday lifting the Sprint Cup trophy. One mistake could cost any of them the championship.

I can't wait to watch the race Sunday (& I actually will get to, as long as it doesn't run past 6 when I have to go to work) and find out what will happen. This the most I have looked forward to a race other than ones I've actually gone to.

Oh, and on a completely unrelated note, I am going to the Penguins game tonight, so my next post will likely be about that.
