10-22-08: 5-0 Win vs. Lowell Devils
October 23, 200811 people were in attendance for last nights game vs. the Lowell Devils. I will assume they did not enjoy themselves. The pens took this one on the road 5-0, and there was one fight to speak of. Deryk Engelland gets the win vs. Brad Mills.

10-19-08: 5-4 WIN vs. Hershey Bears
October 21, 2008The team really stepped up this time, and took advantage of a sluggish Hershey squad who was finishing up a 3-in-3 to hold onto the 5-4 win in Hershey. Despite just being 2 points, this win helped to solidify the team into a family, a theme that carried the Pens deep into the playoffs last year.
Stone vs. Giroux
Stone gets the Gordie Howe hat trick in this one!
I will call this a draw, but let me know your thoughts. Giroux’s only real punch came while Stone had his gloves on and his stick in his hands. Giroux does get the nice takedown in lieu of fighting. Giroux also was called for an instigator on this one.

10-11-08: 4-3 Win vs. Philly
October 13, 2008A tight game here, with WBS coming out on top 4-3, earning their first win of the young season. Play was better as the lines get a little more time to gel. Jeff Taffe was a nice addition, bringing some additional veteran leadership to the ice.
Tonight was a Breast Cancer Awareness night, which is a great cause that has a special place in my heart. This sign was one of the only ones in the arena, but I thought it deserved to be seen here.
One fight tonight, with Aaron Boogaard squaring off with Matt Clackson.
Neither of them fought like a girl. Despite Aaron ending up on the bottom of the pile here, he landed some hard uppercuts early, so I have to give him the slight win on this one. You agree/disagree, post and let me know!
