Gameday: Game 1 - Ducks vs Pens

Consol Energy Center. 7pm. ROOT. 105.9 The X

It's back. For the first time since the Bylsma Administration, the Pittsburgh Penguins will take the ice in a regular season game tonight against the Anaheim Ducks. The Penguins will have all hands on deck and the Ducks are gonna be slightly shorthanded and crippled. Under HCMJ, there's a lot to be answered about this Penguins team but us here at Heyyyyy Fannnssss believe in the philosophy and coaching schemes of this current administration. It's out with the old and in with the new in downtown Pittsburgh and this is probably a good thing. In case you've been in a cave or hiding from Isis or something all summer, this has happened with the Penguins.

We're not gonna use this game as a measuring stick because 2 points in October shouldn't mean much to this team.

See you guys on the other side, nothing is like the grind of an 82 game NHL season.

Buckle Up

Go Pens.
