OMGWTF?TML

My one major Christmas present this year that I asked for was a chance to see the leafs play. So I trucked out to Pittsburgh early Saturday with my family to get an early Christmas present. This present was by far my favorite since I got a Polly Pocket Mansion after Santa left it on his sleigh for three Christmases.

When we got their my parents "surprised" me with a present. It was a beautiful shinny Schenn jersey. I had a feeling this was going to happen ever since my Dad asked me who my favorite player was and then proceeded to show me a jersey and asked if I liked it and what my size would be.
Out in the lobby of our hotel we were meet by two other groups of Leafs fans going to the game. My parents both separately told the same guys that we went all the way out to Pittsburgh because Leafs tickets are to hard to get in Toronto.
We then got into a Cab with a very nice cab driver who asked us where we are going. My dad replied that we were going to the game. She acted surprised that the steelers were playing that night. After we told her it was hockey and we talked about it for a for a little bit and we came to realize she also thought Crosby had once played for the Leafs and she had figured we would be mad at him for leaving us.
At dinner and our walk around the city at least three people ask us if we were from Toronto, how long our drive was and How we got our tickets. My parent answer with a story about how hard it is to get Leafs ticket in Toronto and that it's cheaper to go all the way to Pittsburgh
At the game we were about ten rows up with a great view of the goal. We were on the side were the penguins started the first period. So we got to see the goals in the first and third period.
I tried to get some good pictures of the players skating around because I didn't want to have a flash going off during the game. I had to use the super zoom on the camera so the pictures suck but I have proof I was there.

Catching a picture of Crosby while he is skating is kind of like taking a picture of ghost. Even when I point the camera two inches ahead in the frame before I take the picture he's on the other end of it by the flash.
Dominic Moore is so amazing from the other end of the rink he seen me trying to take his picture so he looked up.
People beside us ask us how long our drive was, if we were from Toronto and how we got our tickets. My parents answer with the story about how it's so hard and it's a million times cheaper to go all the way to Pittsburgh that it is to see a Leafs game in Toronto. By now I'm realizing that my parents rehearsed this story before they came.
Game starts Leafs score first. The guy next to us turns and tells us it's the only one we'll get tonight.
Malkin scores and I figure it's time for a beer But Damn it I'm underage in the states.
We score more Yeah!!! The guy next to us tells us to wait till Crosby gets started.
End of the first period Iceburg the Penguins mascot comes out on the ice to toss some shirts out. He ends up pelting one into the glass. My mom starts a to laugh at him and a war breaks out between the two.
The guy next to us starts to drink.
Since Vesa is close to I grab a couple more shots of him.
I realize that Cujo is not on the bench and he is actually on the other side watching from the entrance to the change rooms.
Crosby gets a breakaway the crowd starts to cheer. Crosby shoots Vesa gloves it.
Vesa leaves the net ...... I have no clue why he did it. He just skated off to the bench. Did they even get another man on the ice. If anyone knows what happened can you explain it to me.
Two more goals. Penguins fans start to leave. We get to spread out into the row more.
Third period Fleury gets pulled for Sabourin. The guy next to us starts telling us that they were going to get started. It does kind of seem like it since the penguins are the next to score. I start to fear about a third period meltdown.
Poni and Antropov remind me why I love them.
After Poni's goal my mom tells the guy next to us that it's time to pull that goalie too. The guy replies that they'll let him give up four more goals first.
At some point in the third period I don't know when but I think it was Antropov or maybe Grabovski I didn't see who because I was caught up in the action. Well they someone Smashes a shot on goal and it heads right for the goalie's head. How Does Sabourin react to this HE DUCKS. the shot came at him and he ducked. I started to think I was seeing things, no good goalie DUCKS.
The guy behind me yells HE DUCKS, The damned goalie ducked.
Everyone starts laughing cause we all seen it and I doubt anyone else had ever seen a goalie duck before.
Fighting Fighting penalties whatever were still laughing at the goalie.
Antropov hits Orpik and he's hurt and bleeding. Antropov didn't want any free candy.
By the end of the night the game was all that and a free bag of chips.
