HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Geno!!

Today is our one and only Evgeni Malkin's birthday.  He turns 31 today ...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, GENO!!

Can You Believe It's Been Almost FOUR Years, Ladies?!!!

Oh my goodness!!  How time flies and so much has happened ... so much great hockey news that I've missed on this blog.

I've found my motivation once again and I'm hoping it lasts a while, so I can work on something that's been a passion of mine for quite some time.  I'm hoping I haven't lost my great followers either and that you've just been in hibernation with me until I decided to take up the blog again!

With so much great news that I've missed, all I can do is start fresh and cover things from here on out.   I hope you're as excited as I am, ladies!!  ENJOY and visit often ... keep me motivated, ladies!! ;)

Adorable Sheary Remains a Penguin

I'm not sure about any of you, but this signing is one that I have been waiting patiently for!

As with many Pens fans, Conor Sheary has become another favorite of mine being one of the few who can keep his own on a line with our Captain.  The kid is small, but strong on many levels and, combined with Sid (and Rusty, super rookie Guentzel or whoever else they decide to throw on the line), a power-packed punchto the opposition.

Unfortunately, as with defenseman Brian Dumoulin who was recently signed long-term by the Pens and shares an agent with Sheary, he could not come to terms on a contract with Pittsburgh which landed them in arbitration.  UPDATE:  apparently the Pens and Sheary worked out a deal before it went to arbitration even though it was set for arbitration.

It was announced today that the two parties agreed to a three-year deal worth $9 million.  That is quite a hefty contract which isn't far from what Sheary was originally asking ($4 million).  And he'll be needing every penny of that money with his upcoming wedding to longtime girlfriend and lucky lady, Jordan Sullivan, on August 18, 2018.

I'm pretty sure you ladies will agree with me, it's good to know we'll be seeing this cutie for another three years on the ice in a Pens uniform!!
