The gauntlet that is the 2009-2010 Penguins schedule has been released and it opens Friday, October 2nd at home against the New York Rangers where the Penguins will raise their Stanley Cup Champion Banner! The season ends April 11th at New York against the Islanders.
Notable games that I will plan on attending are:
- Both Toronto games at home (December 27th and March 28th) because I do so enjoy the way the fans from up north down the alcohol and get rowdy.
- The Detroit game on Sunday January 31st
- Both Montreal games at home (October 28th and November 25th) for the same reasons as I will be at the Toronto games
- Every Philadelphia game this season just because I do so hate the Flyers (December 15th, January 7th and March 27th)
- And of course I will be going to the March 20th game against Carolina to celebrate my birthday
The new baby (Magnus Wayne) is due early in October so I will have to see how many games I will be able to make with two kids. But I have already told my wife that she is forbidden from going into labor on October 2nd. Before or after is fine, but not on the day we raise the banner to the rafters! I don’t care if we have to rush to the hospital right after the game, just hold him in there honey!
