The Pittsburgh Penguins Are The Greatest Team In The NHL (PART ONE)

Note: This is part one of a two part series dedicated to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Penguins deserve to win the cup over and over again. Stop being a sore loser and understand they have a dynamic, fan base, owner, and captain second to none.

Pittsburgh is a city of their own, they have such a unique vibe and a team that matches their personality.

A solid team has a lot of fans, players, and good owner backing them up. In my opinion the Pittsburgh Penguins are one of the most incredible teams out there. Not just because they have been around for such a long period of time, but because of the team character. Take for instance Mario Lemieux, he played for the Penguins and is now the owner which makes him ten times more likely to actually care what happens in the lives, community, and status of the team.

"On March 13, 2007, Lemieux's ownership group announced a final agreement for a new multi-purpose arena, eventually to be named Consol Energy Center, to be built across the street from Mellon Arena. The deal keeps the Penguins in Pittsburgh for at least 30 years." Rossi, Bob (2016-06-13).

Now, not only are the Penguins going to be in business for 30 years, but they have an owner who truly cares about the entire community of Pittsburgh. That says a lot to me. A man willing to buy the franchise in order to keep it alive.

The Dynamic is unreal. There is something about watching the team play hockey that is unlike any other team in the NHL. Even with all the tension on Fleury the team still manages to keep their heads on straight and act with unbelievable class. The only possible way this could be achieved is with a strongly built team and coach that represents them. In most cases it would be "do or die" for a starting goalie to be sitting or benched in the playoffs. Fluery and Murray have an incredible relationship that separates them from other teams.

"In many cases, a relationship like this goes sour, the search for playing time spoiling it.

Not with Fleury, one of the game's warmest personalities.

"I’ve said it a lot," Murray said. "He’s been huge for my development. If I didn’t have a guy like that to learn from coming in as a rookie, I probably wouldn’t have done as well."

Murray also recognizes how unique the relationship might seem. He credits Fleury for not only making it functional but enjoyable." Jason Mackey

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
