Welcome!

This is the first post here at the newest Pittsburgh Penguins blog.

Since (hopefully) you’ll be reading for some time to come, let me first give you some background information about myself…

I’m a 22 year-old college student, at the moment, and have been watching the Pens since I was 5 years old, when they won cup #1, back in 1991.  I had season tickets for about five years, from 1999 – 2004.  Of course, I had the great luck of seeing Mario Lemieux’s first game back; and also lucky enough to see Dick Tarnstrom’s reign as the Penguins best player.

I made the genius decision to start the blog during the off-season; so, yeah, it’s probably going to be some lean times for the next few months.  Whenever there is news, you can be sure that I will write about it as quickly as possible, though.  Hopefully, by the time the season has started, I’ll have honed my writing skills enough that it doesn’t resemble something done by a little kid.
