What an Amazing First Hockey Game!!!

Last night, I had the pleasure of taking Abbey to her first Pittsburgh Penguins game! (And what a game it was!!) Not being able to hardly sleep the night before, Abbey was beyond excited.
Walking down to our seats, we could not believe how close we were. (The second row in, directly behind the goal!) THANK YOU GAMBLE FAMILY!
As the pregame skate went on, Abbey jumped at each puck that was rocketed off of the glass. She was simply amazed, and I was so glad that I could share this moment with her.
At the end of the second period, the Pens were down to the Lightning by a score of 3-0. It looked hopeless.
But, when the third period started, we started to see the team come alive. Sitting on the edge of our seats, and mostly standing, we screamed and cheered as the Pens caught up and eventually tied it up. (The video below is of the 3-3 goal!) We were in hockey heaven!
Going into overtime, we could not control ourselves! Jumping, yelling, and screaming, we were hoping for that fourth and final goal.
It came from Malkin, and in true Malkin style. It sounded as if the Mellon Arena was going to fall in around us.
On the way home, Abbey relived this memorable event over and over to me, and then eventually drifted off to sleep. It was a moment for me that I will always remember. For my father and I had some great Penguins experiences, and I just hoped I could also share them with my girls! LET'S GO PENS!!!
