PENS WIN!

Tonight, Jenn took me to watch the Penguins play the Blue Jackets in Columbus. Best friend ever? No doubt.

Before the game, we watched warmups from the lower level and I took a few stalker shots. Enjoy.

Mr. Hat Trick himself - Real Deal James Neal

Oh Captain, my Captain.

Messing with Flower in warmups, even though he didn't play.

Team Canada. Sochi 2014.

The game was awesome. Although Geno, Flower, and Letang didn't play, the other stars on the team stepped up in a huge way. James Neal had a hat trick and and a career-high five points in the tilt. Crosby and Kunitz each scored goals, giving the Pens a 5-3 victory over the CBJ. I also got to see former Miami Redhawk goalie Jeff Zatkoff between the pipes for the first time since college. Love and honor.

My second hat trick at Nationwide Arena.

I was excited.

It was my first ever in-person hat trick by a Penguin and the Pens are now 4-0 when I'm in attendance. You're welcome, boys.

Oh, and just to take my fandom to the next level: Here are the third annual Penguin Christmas cookies. I didn't make as many players this year.

That's supposed to be a puck to the right of Malkin's stick. Please advise.
