The Recching Ball!

Went to the Mellon Arena on Saturday.

We went to watch the first Penguins scrimmages. The first scrimmage between the White and Yellow team was crazy as hell it was like 7 to 6. Those teams didn't seem very into it, or that great either. I have a feeling a lot of those people were going to recieve a little red tag in their lockers after practice.

The second game, the Black team versus the Red team, or as it seemed the starting Penguins vs. Our lady of the Sacred Heart all girls school featuring Sergei Gonchar, was intense. The Black team schooled the catholic school girls 7 to 1. The Red team didn't even really score that 1 goal, they just gave them a point because they felt bad.

Before the games started we got to meet Recchi, Gonchar, Fleury, and Lame ass Rico Fata. I got Recchi and Gonchar's signatures on pucks and Fleury signed a picture. I had Rico sign a piece of paper which I later gave away. We also got to meet fat ass sports talk show host Mark Madden. We met him in the food line. Mike voiced his opinion about liking his show to which Madden replied Thanks and then ran off to eat his pounds of food. Overall it was a great day, a lot of fun being back at the Mellon Arena, even though its probably the shittiest building in the city.
