It seems like more people are into hockey this year than last year, but maybe my hindsight is just foggy. Everyone I know is rooting for the Caps though! It seemed weird to me at first, but then I realized that geography does have everything to do with it and it's not weird at all. I mean, I have always rooted for the Orioles, and why is that? ...because I live near Baltimore.
The other sports teams that I favor stem from different reasons than my own personal geography, but they do involve someone's geography. I like Steelers because Dennis likes them and I never really had a preference in football before I met him. I like Italy for soccer and Nadal for tennis just because of my preoccupation with Italy. So when it comes to hockey, which I have never really liked, Dennis started getting me into it by putting on the games last year during the Stanley Cup finals and I found myself getting really into the game and rooting for the Penguins!
So now it's that time of year again and I find my emotions rising and falling with the wins and losses of the Penguins. So naturally I decided to show my love for the Pengies (or in Spanish - Penguinos) by getting a shirt representing my favorite player, Evgeni Malkin. I would get a jersey if I had $150 to blow but yea...no. This one cost me a little over $20 which is just around my price range. Someday I will afford the jersey though! So if anyone is looking for that perfect late birthday present or super early Christmas present or perhaps a Memorial Day present for me, a Malkin jersey would just be super. Here's the link if you want to make my dreams come true!!
Until then, I will proudly wear my Carolina Blue (why they threw another state into the mix, I don't know...) Malkin tee with his name spelled across the back in his native language, Russian. Pretty sweet!
Wednesday night.. 7 pm.. will decide the fate of my shirt. I hope they win so I have a chance to wear it. Ha. Go Pengys!
