Pittsburgh Penguins vs Carolina Hurricanes - 10/30/2010

The Pens visited RBC Center in Raleigh. It was basically a home-away-from-home game with the crowd split pretty much 50-50 between Pens and Canes fans. As is always the case down here in the Triangle, it was a great atmosphere.

That inspired me to start this photo countdown. Continue after the jump to see the earlier entries.

Support the Mellon Memorial

PensBoozeAnger came up with a pretty good idea for memorializing the Igloo inside the new Consol Energy Center. Read about it on pensblog or go ahead and join the facebook group.

Pens to distribute commemorative tickets for inaugural game

As they did for the final regular season game at Mellon Arena, the Pens are doing something special for the first regular season game at Consol Energy Center.

From the Pens website:

The Pittsburgh Penguins will distribute a ‘commemorative ticket’ to all fans attending the inaugural regular season game at CONSOL Energy Center on October 7 when they host the Philadelphia Flyers. Each one-of-a-kind aluminum ticket, presented by Trib Total Media, will be handmade by local artisans and craftsmen at Grove City-based Wendell August Forge.

2009-10 Pittsburgh Penguins: From Stanley Cup Glory to Igloo Finale

Is this déjà vu? Not really. It is true that this slideshow may resemble the first Penguins book that I shared with you, however, that book met an unfortunate end somewhere on the Pennsylvania Turnpike a few weeks ago. While sad, that loss did afford me the opportunity to release a second edition with many improvements that I would have liked to have seen in the first edition had I not been up against an impossible deadline. This time around, rather than constructing the pages on the Walgreens site, I built each page in Picasa, which allowed for a greater level of content control. Also, instead of taking pictures of the book to post, I included the pages in this nifty multimedia slideshow, set to music, which hopefully will distract you from the fact that you're looking at a lot of the same pictures again. Really, though, there are a lot of photos included here that weren't in the last version, and I think the overall improvements to the book made it worth sharing again.
