11/15/10- Penguins vs Rangers (Consol Energy Center)

*First off, sorry I took so long to update this, I was lazy.

Anyway, I went to this game with my brother. My 3rd inside the Consol Energy Center. We arrived at the arena around 5:40, and went inside, and I finally got a picture of the Mario Lemieux collage.

At 6, when everyone is allowed to go to thier seats, I got some food, and then me and my brother went to our seats, and then I took a picture of warm-ups.

The 3rd period was insane, the Penguins scored 2 quick goals, and then the Rangers tied it up, and forced an overtime, and then the Rangers scored in OT, and won.
Below: 3-2, Rangers win.

The 2 Penguins goals were scored by Matt Cooke, his 4th, and Chris Kunitz, his 5th. And the 3 Rangers goals were scored by Ryan Callahan, his 5th, former Penguin Erik Christensen, his 3rd, and Marc Staal, his 3rd.

When I got home, I took a picture of what I collected at this game.

Right now, I'm not 100% sure when my next Penguins game will be, but it will be in December, so stay tuned.

Congratulations!

To the San Francisco Giants on winning the 2010 World Series the other night over the Texas Rangers. It was nice to see former Pirate, Freddy Sanchez win the World Series. I originally picked Texas to win, but I was very happy that San Francisco won.

But that means the 2010 MLB season is officially over, it was a great year in the MLB, and also for me ballhawking. I cannot wait til next year, 2011 is goin' to be a great year for baseball!
