The Devils Stanley Cup banners. I can't wait to see those hanging in the Sommet Center

The crowd inside The Rock ten minutes into the contest. I guess we can call the Devils a "failed experiment" and the League should consider moving the franchise?

 

The Igloo. Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh

 

Consol Energy Center, the Penguins new home, is being built directly across the street from the Igloo

One of the highlights of the trip was meeting some great Long Island folks and fellow Twitterers. From the left: Katrina Doell, The View From 111, Michael Schuerline (Islesblogger), and Doug Davison.
