It's a win-win night!!

Tonight I went to the Angel game. It was so heartbreaking to see the Nick Adenhart Memorial they have out front of the stadium. I was trying hard not to cry. I wanted to leave something, but I didn't have anything to leave.
We also have one of those bricks laid down for one of our family members.
I was able to watch the Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals... I had some friends updating me with the score, but I caught the last 3 mins by binoculars looking into the Suite Boxes. Someone with the big screen tv in their suite had the game on and I got to see THE PENGUINS WIN THE STANLEY CUP!! It was amazing... The guy behind me, probably in his early 20s, was keeping me updated on the score too haha. I was wearing my Sidney Crosby shirt for the Penguins and when they finally showed on the Angels Big Screen that the Penguins won the cup, I stood up and screamed (being careful not to fall over the railing to the deck below).
Later we were getting ice cream sundaes in the cute little Angels batting helmet cups and like 3 people stopped me about my shirt. The first was a younger boy who caught me going down the ramp and he just yelled "Go Penguins!!" and I smiled in response. The next was a man and his smaller child, and I passed him and he shouted "Penguins!!" and I turned and rooted too haha. Then when we were in line, that same guy passed me again and stopped to tell me "I'm so glad you guys won, I had to see the Wings get beat" and I agreed and he continued walking. After I got my sundae I was just starting to walk back to my seat and two guys in their mid 20s shouted "CROSBY!!" and I turned around and was like "Yeeeahh!!!" and it was so awesome (I was wearing the Crosby shirt,remember). So I got recognized 3 times in under 10 minutes for my support of the Penguins haha. Yay!!
One of my friends sent me a Ron Hextall Tribute video, he was a goalie for the Philadelphia Flyers (NHL) and actually scored a goal haha. He wore my favorite number, and he was a fighting goalie... even better!! A fighting, goal-scoring goalie... I love it.

Tomorrow are the BIG GAMES!!

Tomorrow is the game. I'm excited but bummed out too because I'm going to miss all of Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals. I've got internet on my phone so I'll bookmark the site to get the score, and I have a friend who is a huge Penguins fan and she'll keep me posted with scores via text message. I'm hoping that they will make some big announcement at the Angels game about it, I'll be one to stand up and start screaming and cheering haha. I'm also thinking about wearing my red LA Kings jersey, red for the Angels, yet still supporting hockey and my Kings. But I'd love to wear my Sidney Crosby jersey for the Penguins too, all while still keeping on my Reggie Willits jersey!! AHH!!. Too many jerseys!! Well only 3 I guess haha, but all different teams =D

So yeah, that's my plan. Knowing my luck, the Red Wings will win, at least I'll have a red Kings jersey though so I'm totally covered. The ultimate insurance package summed up in 3 shirts. Sweet!!
