Pens v Sens, and Hipsterville

I'm getting just as bad as Em at updating this....
Anyway, the Penguins had a GREAT game on Wednesday (8-2, for those of you who didn't watch). Geno had a hattrick, and Guerin had 2 goals so here's the recap:


Goals:
Geno (3)
Guerin (2)
Feds
Kunitz
Gonch

Stars (in no particular order):
Geno
MAF
Guerin

I was pretty damn close on the predictions. Well, kinda. The only one who didn't score was Sid, and the one who was wishful thinking (Geno) scored three goals. So... maybe not so close. But better than you, Matt.

So that ends my hockeytalk. Now on to HIPSTERS!

I spent Christmas in hipsterville, AKA Silverlake. I saw Sherlock Holmes in this really great old theater (the Vista, if you're wondering), surrounded by cigarette smoking, blazer and sweater and boot-wearing, nothing matching hipsters. It was glorious. I may or may not have muttered, "This is going in my blog...." under my breath once or twice. If I had a camera/ could figure out how to use it, I would put some pictures up. It was something straight out of LATFH.com.

Anyway, Sherlock Holmes was excellent. Guy Ritchie, AKA ex-Mr. Madge was brilliant, and RDJ was at his best. I must go see it again.

Warning:
If you do venture to the Vista (it's on Sunset and Hollywood... how much more trendy can you get?) try not to think about the fact that it was once the hotspot for... wait for it... gay porn! yeah! Probably thinking twice about it now, huh.

Pens V Sens

WELL... I haven't been very good at updating this blog. But I'm back. And my predictions are still pretty bad I think.

Senators at Pens
7 ET tonight

Prediction:
Pens 4-2, goals by Sid, Kunitz, Guerin, and Geno (wishful thinking)

The last 2 meetings have been 4-1 Pens, then 6-2 Senators. The Penguins are just coming off of a shutout home loss to the Devils, which we will talk no further about.


Updates:
Eaton is day-to-day with a lower body injury... Bylsma says that it's not long term, and he should be out a week.
JStaal has a broken nose from the last game, and will be skating with a facemask today.
Bylsma shuffled the lines at the pre-game skate, so we'll see Feds and Dupuis skating on a line with Sidney. Here's the lineup:

Dupuis-Crosby-Fedotenko
Kunitz-Malkin-Guerin
Cooke-Staal-Kennedy
Rupp-Adams-Talbot/Godard

Trends??:
Geno has only scored 6 goals in his past 21 games, and has had 13 minor penalties in his past 8 games. Yeeesh.
EM never updating?


-Lo

Pens/Flyers, Part II. And fwens.

What a game.
Fleury was a beast, fersure.

Stars:
Fleury
Tanger
Crosby

Play(s) of the Game:
Fleury's on-the-back glove save
Tangers deke-shoot out goal


It was a little too close for comfort there. But I'm def not going to complain about it. Overtime, and then 3-on-3, and then a shootout. Tres exciting. I'm glad Kunitz is back in, but where is TK? I don't remember seeing him... He's as ellusive as Eric Godard.


Other updates......

Today I saw the Christmas lights (by McCormack Mortuary YEEE NIKKI) with the gang.... who my parents thought were...imaginary? I have no idea. So, they decided they needed to stop by and prove their existence. Which was an odd combination of hilarity and awkwardness. And from that meeting, we have tonight's QOTN (Quote of the Night):

"I got punched in the face by AWKWARD SILENCE."-Alexia

-Lo

PS Next Game:
Saturday, 7 ET at Sabres

I was going to post some videos of MAF's save and Tanger's shot, but I fail. So.... maybe next time.

Let's Go Pens!

QOTD

SO my friend Fo wants me to help her seduce this guy.
Here's what she said, copy+pasted directly from my FB wall:

"buht no you wanna help in operation S.E.D.U.C.E.
Sexily
Entice
Dat Nigga
Under
Class
Experience ...lol that was horrible"

wow. I hope it works? I don't know.....


PS
PENS V FLYERS TOMORROW
Predictions:
5-4 Pens OT goal by Dupuis

Goals by:
Dupuis
Crosby
Staal
Cooke
Gonch

Slap me silly, Sidney.

-Lo

Blog Worthy?

So, as I was searching my FB news feed, I found a link to this picture. THIS is why I'd like to go here. Fuck that whole essay I wrote. THIS is the reason.

In other news, I heard a great QOTD, thanks to my friend 'N'.

"I thought I was having the Swede's love child!"
My response:
"Well, too much Sweedish meatballs for you, no?"

YEEEEE how clever am I???

PASSION PIT(tsburgh)

Well, last night was pretty adventurous...
Passion Pit killed it. It was a madhouse in there. I think every single person who knows PP was there in that venue, going ape shit. Crazy fucking hipsters YEEEEE
Let's see...
If you are wearing a leather jacket and/or windbreaker, TAKE THAT SHIT OFF MAN. you are the cause of global warming.
If you are crowd surfing, do it right for godsakes. Don't sit on people's heads. YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG.
Crazy plaid man was CRAZY
Also, Michael Angelakos threw a potted plant into the crowd and now I have part of it in my purse whooooooh
Vengence of the Plague or Plague Vendors or whatever was the opening band, and it was actually pretty good.

QOTD:
"Ticketmaster is such a douche." --Jayme
You tell em.

ok. I was a bad fan yesterday. I didn't watch the game. But here's what Pen Updates tells me:
Pens beat Panthers in OT 3-2
Goals:
Dupuis
Feds
Geno

FINALLY an PP goal. christ. And Geno scored and had an assist. Mama Malkin must have fed him some cabbage soup. YEEEE

SOO saturday was the best day since November "HOLY FUCK" 5th.

Coming Soon:
a full recap on November "HOLY FUCK" 5th

Emily's intro.

Hey guys,
This is Emily finally getting my rightful time on here. I kinda suck at writing and am not as witty as Lo, but bear with me ill try my best. Pretty much I just go to school, swim, play volleyball. And most importantly am an avid Pens fan. I don't think you even care hahah but it'd be nice to know you just learned a generalization of me. if you have any questions/ ideas send them out way. Also, im obsessed with hipsters and wish i could pull off that look. but pretty much thats it. Au revior.

Pens-Canadiens

final score: 3-2 Pens

Goals by:
Gonch
Cooke/Gonch
Dupuis

Stars:
MAF
Dupuis
Gonch

FAILS:
Penguins Powerplay AGAIN
Early call on Habs goal-- even as a Pens fan, that was BS
Geno. Where have you been. Someone needs to give this Russian some borscht. He's as lackluster as he was on those A & L car commercials.


Ehhh, ok game
What really impressed me was the insane Habs fans. Someone threw a shoe on the ice YEEEEEE And there was boo-ing for like the entire third period. I'm impressed.

Kunitz update:
He's practicing with the team, but it's uncertain when he's coming back... BOOOOOO


-Lo

PS sorry for the borrring plot summary
i need some imspiration

PPS 2 days til Passion Pit YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

First Real Post!

SOOOooo
SoCal is great. With one exception.
No one watches hockey. At all. I can count the number of people who watch hockey at my school on one hand (don't worry, I can count without using fingers too). And it sucks. Maybe we can meet some new hockey fans through this blog? Who knows.

OK
Penguins play the Habs tomorrow. I need to buy nhl on ice package or whatever, before I go insane. I spend more time looking for websites that show live streaming hockey than I do applying for college. I'm definitely setting myself up for success here.

In other news,
IM GOING TO A PASSION PIT CONCERT ON SATURDAY WHOOOHHH Probably the same number of people who watch hockey know who Passion Pit is.

It looks like this blog will end up being about hockey, music, hipsters, and quotes of the day. If you have any QOTDs, post them whenever you can.
Example: "Can you wet concrete and make it something new?"- Hannah.

p.s. i can already tell this shit is gonna be addictive.

A Minor Introduction

Let's start off by saying this:
We are new to blogging. Very new.
I/We used to scoff at the idea of blogs--how trendy and conformist. But then I/we realized it would be a great way to chronicle our adventures as hockey enthusiasts and the other general shenanigans of our daily lives.

The title of our blog comes from Em y Lo, our names. And the talking hockey part--well that's pretty obvious. We are major Pittsburgh Penguins fans, so don't hate. Pens represent!

Any ideas for posts are greatly appreciated, etc. etc. So get in the fast lane grandma, the bingo game's about to begin.
