A while back I blogged about Geno Malkin becoming the captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins. I went on to say that Crosby's time had come and gone. Could I have been more wrong???? Sorry Sid! Please forgive me for my stupid remarks.
Since those remarks Crosby has become the hottest thing on two skates and the Pens are on the march into the playoffs. Since Geno went out with an injury, the Pens are 10 and 1. I don't know what that says about the big Russian.
Certainly the new guys have made an enormous impact. Kudos to Jim Rutherford for making great trades. The guys from Wilkes-Barre have done an outstanding job stepping up. No more "Baby Pens" in that group. These guys are legit NHL hockey players. Last but not least Coach Sullivan has got the Penguins playing at a very high level. Let's Go Pens!!!!
I have enjoyed watching the Pens while knocking back a couple of Negra Modelos. This lager beer from Mexico is outstanding. I love its sweet Dunkel style taste!!! If you haven't tried it...give it a shot! I've been turning a lot of friends onto this lately. None have seemed disappointed.
For Christmas I was given a set of Cygnar Jacks and Warcasters from a special someone in my life. I don't collect any metal miniatures, but the young lady didn't know this. Since she is wonderful and was excited to give them to me I decided to keep them, build them, and paint them. I finished the last of them today. All-in-all the group turned out well. I tried to keep loyal to the Cygnar theme while including some ideas from my friend. I hope to get a pic or two up with the next entry.
