Penguins/Habs March 26

Took a spontaneous trip to Pittsburgh to meet my buddy Matt Talbot down at Consol Energy Center for last night's game vs. the Montreal Canadiens.

This was my first ever NHL hockey game attending and it did not disappoint.  It was worth the trip and the little sleep I got.

Only one goal was scored, but damn was it loud in the building!  Sidney Crosby potted one in, and it was a beauty.

I hope to make it down soon again, the tickets were not bad for the seats that we got.  Luckily, I have a friend who's Uncle is the Vice President at CVS and scored us sick tickets for a low price.

Miami Heat Video Bombing

It's an art, and the Miami Heat have perfected the craft with impeccable timing and trolling.

LeBron James was the most recent Heat to make his muppet-esque face into the lens while Ray Allen was in the midst of a post-game interview.

Chris Bosh though has been the KING of these moments so far this season.

The Miami Heat have won 27 games in a row, the second longest streak in NBA history.  They are having a great time doing it as well.  They go for 28 tonight vs. the Chicago Bulls on ESPN at 8 PM.  

 

Bess To Hampden?

BANGOR - According to Marc Calnan of the Eastern Maine Sports Blog in Dexter, Isaiah Bess could be transferring to Hampden Academy next season to play basketball for the Broncos.

Bess was the Class C MVP of this year's tournament and led the Penquis Patriots to the State Championship in the final game played at the Bangor Auditorium.

The Hampden Academy Broncos won the State Championship as well after pulling off an undefeated season with a victory over the South Portland Red Riots in Augusta.

"I think the move will help me in terms of education and will help me prepare for college in a few years," said Bess to Eastern Maine Sports Blog.

Bess went over the 1,000 career point mark as a Junior (this past season) and would be an added bonus to an already loaded Hampden Academy basketball team with brothers Nick and Zach Gilpin leading the way.

There are still numerous details that have to be worked out before the move can be made official but Bess plans on finishing out his school year at Penquis High School in Milo.  

This will benefit Bess as he will have numerous Division I schools recruiting him and seeing the 6'3 star compete against top level competition will only help him as he moves on to the next level.  He has already received a scholarship offer from the University of New Hampshire but I'm sure Bess plans on keeping his options open before making a decision after the 2013-2014 basketball season.
