Dan scored us some kickass floor seats for the Penguins game last night, so four of us went to go check out the action. You see a lot more interesting things being down at floor level than up in the nosebleeds. First of all, the action moves really fast. Also, these players are BIG. Like, “wouldn’t want to meet them in a dark alley” big.

The other fun was purely just seeing how stuff runs. There were two photographers (both with bad mullets) jockeying for the little porthole where they could poke their camera through for an unobstructed view of the action. The extra interesting thing was the one photographer had a small radio transmitter on his camera, instead of a flash, that would actually trigger a strobe in the house lights for his shots.

The bench was also small enough that the Hurricaine backup goalie was sitting right next to us. The funniest thing was that in the little handout magazine with the team linups in it, there wasn’t a picture of Jaime Storr, so they just had the Hurricaine’s logo. We were going to try and get the girls sitting in front of us to ask him to sign his logo, but they didn’t do it.
