Holy shit, the 2019-20 NHL regular season starts tomorrow! Of course, for we Penguins fans, we’ll have to wait another day, but finally, once again, there is meaningful hockey to be played and watched!

It happens every year at this time- the leaves start to fall, our immune systems seem to weakens just in time for this year’s influenza mutation, and the Pirates mercifully reach the end of another embarrassing season. And while everything around us starts to die, we Pittsburgh fans remain hopeful for a great year from the Steelers and Penguins.
