Good morning everybody.  First the insanely horrific bad news..  the Penguins are alone in 10th place, with only 30 games remaining.  After losing 4-2 in Montreal last night..  all I can say is yuck.

Now the better news..  their latest call up, Luca Caputi somewhat delivered on his hype.  I have heard his name for the past 2 years and was very anxious he could fill the gap Ryan Malone left when he bolted for the money down in Tampa.  Luca is a little skinny to be a top line winger at this point, he looks 190, with his gear on.  But, he scored a goal on his first shift last night in his first game, ala Mario Lemieux..  but I believe Luca took 2 shots to get it in and Mario's was on his first shot (a sick break away).

Luca seemed to have jump in his step all night..  he was flying into the corners and battling all night long.  Bob Errey did make a good point though, "is this just first night adrenaline?".

Besides that, 350,000 people crowded the streets of Pittsburgh to celebrate the 6 pack.  I was able to catch a lot of it on the DVR yesterday afternoon..  and wish I was there live, just to see the Steelers trying to out-Styx the Styx and sing "Renegade".  The players and fans all looked to be having a blast, so this continues to make beyond happy to be from Pittsburgh..

Onto what I woke up to..  the first one makes me so happy..
