Winter Classic 2011 Announced: Official Now

Well now it's officially official.

The NHL and Gary Bettman announced today at a press conference at Heinz Field the 2011 Winter Classic.

Supposedly us Penguin season ticket holders will get a letter sent next week that details our window of opportunity to get tickets for this event. I wonder how many we are allowed to get? This is going to be so kick ass. I can't wait.

LET'S GO PENS!!!

Only 71 days till hockey!!

World Cup 2010

This is just a quick recap because like most Americans I didn't pay too much attention to this.

I know that the US made it out of qualifying but lost to Ghana which shouldn't have happened. I switched teams at that point and started rooting for Argentina but they ended up getting pounded by Germany 4-0. The next round had Germany losing to Spain which set up the final - Spain v Netherlands.

Spain ended up winning 1-0 in a bunch of extra time. Congrats to them. It was their first World Cup Championship ever.

The real winner was me because my gf brought me up a vuvuzela from Buenos Aires. :D
