Following the Stanley Cup & More

[Syrinx]

I've been at that pool. My kids used to swim on our local pool team and they raced there once. Needless to say it is a very, very nice area.

Cool, have fun!

Im still waiting to see when Fleury and Dupuis have it before making a decision

Letang is going to have it in Ste-Julie on August 5th.

Too bad it is a Friday or I would have gone.

[Coach Travis]

True story: I've been hired by Matt Murray to accompany him from 9AM to Midnight on Tuesday to photograph & chronicle his day with the Cup in Thunder Bay. This doesn't even feel like real life.

For real!!? That's incredible!

Time to find out if any Pens read HF...!

I sat down for lunch with him the other day to help plan the logistics of his day. I asked him a couple questions:

Me: Why, after Game 7 against Tampa, when you and Sid did an interview, Sid took yours and his name cards and switched them around?
Murray: He's, like, obnoxiously superstitious. Everything needs to be perfect.

Me: Your career kind of doesn't make sense. You were a solid prospect in the OHL, then you destroyed the AHL, then you went to the NHL for a dozen games and won a Cup. Shouldn't goaltending get harder?
Murray: Well the thing about the OHL is that no one plays defence and no teams coach defence. So you're getting caught out of position on a lot of broken plays or D just don't cover their guy. In the Pros, your D are so good that the play is easier to read.

He's a very personable, humble but confident young man. Quiet enough but also outgoing enough, if that makes any sense. His mom told me "Playing in the NHL wasn't Matt's dream, it was his goal".

 

[WayneSid9987]

Very cool. Have fun man.
Ask him if he has any funny Phil stories from the season.

My 3 year old daughter got her picture with the Conn Smythe Trophy and we got to see Sid and the Cup during his parade today.

Wow, that's really cool Travis. Very special opportunity.

That's awesome, Coach

Pretty sure Sid's legs are bigger than my torso

They need to be sturdy to hold up that booty.

Holy ****, Sid looked swole as **** in this pic.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Just lookin around at pics this morn from the Sid parade and other stuff:

Think this was takin at the private get together by Andy O'Brien. Nice Cake.

Sid at the stage at the end of the parade.

He also got his Tissot watch for his Triple Gold Club achievment.

With the same kid in '09. Pretty cool.

 

[Wes C Addle]

Looking forward to this one

Had a great time at the Cup celebration yesterday. I only stayed there briefly, but that place sure knows how to make you feel welcome. I walked down to Cole Harbour place at 9:00, and chatted with Pens fans for a couple hours before Sid arrived. The thing that everyone brought up, "Did you think this would be happening in December?"

 

[WayneSid9987]

The Phil! And Amanda!

Damn so I guess he's in Toronto with it tomorrow?

He gets two days? Or did he only get it late today?

 

[PensBandwagonerNo272*]

A few pics off my phone from Saturday. Had a blast.

Got a chance to say congratulations and told him to stay healthy this short off-season because we both know that a repeat is on everyone's minds what with the similar roster. "No pressure though" and we laughed.

Great pics 272. ^


While Pritchard's photo looks like they were taken from a 1980's polaroid instamatic camera hahaha.
