It's a Hockey Night in Pittsburgh!

Wrenn P.O.V

"Welcome to the Vinnie and Cook show! We have a new co host with us and her name is Wrenn Zetterberg. Are you related to Henrik Zetterberg?” Vinnie ask me. I am so nervous doing this but this isn’t my first rodeo show.
"Welcome to the The Fan. Also I heard that your co hosting with Dan Potash for the Penguins." Vinnie smiled.
"Thanks Vinnie and no I am not related to Henrik Zetterberg. I am going to have a great time co-hosting with Dan."
"Why is she with us, she's the most beautiful women I have ever seen and she's stuck with us ugly guys." Cook ask.
"Hey I listen to you guys for a long time and it was all the way from Arizona. But thanks for the complement."
"So I heard that your going to living with one of the Penguins until the season ends. Who do you think it's going to be."
"I don't know yet.I think it was too much because they gave this amazing job and I could find a place for myself." We talk about how the Steelers were doing good but since I am here for hockey we talk more about that.
“So after the game against the Capitals your going to fly with the team and they play against all of the California teams already.”
“I know I think that’s a little to much into this early of the season. However we didn’t make the schedule in the first place."
After the show Cook and I had to go to Southpointe to check out the Penguins practice. There first game was at home against the Capitals tomorrow. This was going to be a fun game. It's always a fun game with the Capitals. Alex VS Sid. When we got to the locker room, I stop and was star struck of all the guys I look up to. Cook was talking to Matt Niskanen, I didn't know who to talk to first. I have been to a lot of dressing rooms but not in a Pittsburgh Penguins dressing room.
"Wrenn!" I look and Cook was waving his hand to make me come over.
"Matt this is our new co host." I shook his hand and I was glad that I didn't past out on the floor after I shook Matt's hand. I talk to Matt for a minute and then I met Dan Potash. He was funny to talk to with, when I step back I bump into someone. When I turn around my heart and breath stop. It was James “The Real Deal” Neal, my biggest crush of all time. I total forgot about him when I walk into the locker room. Seeing him on the ice he look taller but that’s when he has his stakes on.
"Sorry.” He look down at me with his blue, grey eyes and my heart didn’t know if it wants to shoot it’s self or be run over by a car.
"Neal! This is our new co host and your new roommate." Potash smiled.
"Wrenn right?" He pointed at me. 'How did he knew my name?'
"I heard you on the radio before I got here, welcome to Pittsburgh." He gave me his smile. After James went into the shower stall I didn’t know what to do. I could see the corner of my eye Potash was staring at me to see if I could go talk to someone. When he came closer to me he also had someone with him.
“Wrenn I would like you to me the king of prankster.” It was Pascal Dupuis.
“Who’s fighting for that title you or Flower?” I ask.
“Wow you know the player’s nicknames already?” Pascal ask.
“I am a huge Penguins fan and I watch In The Room all the time.” Pascal made it easier for me to talk to everyone else in the dressing room. James was done getting ready to go home, James was nice to carry my suite case into the house. When I walk in, I was in total shock that there was nothing in his house.
"Now I know why they wanted me to have you as a roommate. All of my stuff is coming tomorrow, but James why don't you have anything?"
"I don't have the time to get stuff right now. Some of the guys are going out for dinner. Sid always has to pay the first meal of the season. So you want to join with us, since you didn't met everyone today?” Food I forgot of much I love food and I didn’t get that much too eat today because I was so stress of how was going to do today.
"That would be great." When we got to the restaurant, we were late because James wanted to change into something different. When we got there I see Lee and the group were waiting for us."
"About time!" Lee smiled and so James introduces me to Sid, Geno, Paul and Niskanen. I sat between James and Sid. Geno was sitting next to James and they were talking about something in a low tone. I have to idea what they were talking about. So I talk to Sid the whole night. I had a great night. It was one of the best nights I have ever had. Having dinner with the best team in the NHL.


I headed to the radio station, did my thing with the guys and then headed over to the Consol Engery Center with Potash for tonight’s game against the Capitals.
"So what am I going to do?"
'What I was thinking I was going to do the first intermission and the last interview but I want you to have two interviews. Before the game starts and then the second intermission. Is that fine with you?"
"That would be great, who am I going to interview first?"
"I think it's going to be Pascal and who ever scores during the 2 period." Once I got into the arena I watch all of the guys warming up. When James spotted me, he waved at me. I wave back. Pascal stakes over to me.
"So I heard that you are going to have an interview with me in a couple of minutes."
"You heard correct, Duper." After the funny interview, Duper came back to me.
"Just letting you know that Joey wants to ice you soon, so I was getting you a heads up and James won't stop talking about you." Then he stakes off and all I could think that James Neal won't stop talking about me. My heart was pounding very hard. It hasn’t been 24 hours since I met him and yet he’s telling all the teammates about me. What is he telling the guys that I don’t know? Then I felt cold ice all over my face. It snap me out of what I was thinking. Joe Vitale staking away with a grin on his face.
"You better be careful Joey, I will get you back for that!" Dan was behind me and couldn't stop laughing. I gave him a light push him and grab a towel to dry off. As we watch the game, it was getting instance. Everyone keeps slamming each over on the boards. The game was tied, Geno got the first goal in and the Alex score with in a second after an icing called. Potash had the first interview. Good I wasn't ready to have an interview with Geno because of his Russian voice. The Penguins came back, with in 3 minutes Matt Niskanen pass the puck to James and score. I jump out of my seat and I think 3 feet off the ground. That means I might going to have to interview James. Than Sid score a goal but James gave him an assisting. So that means I have to interview Sid in the second intermission. As I wanted for all of the players went into the locker room but Sid. He was walking over to me and still had him game face on.
"So Sid how did that play turn out with James help?"
"James help a lot in that play and it was an easy play for us to confuse the goalie.”
“I know with your superstitious you don’t like to plan a head but if the Penguins win tonight over the Capitals will you be more satisfy than beating the Flyers.” Sid shook his head.
“No really but I would love to take the win any day.”
"Thanks Sid." Once he walk away I see that James was standing outside of the locker room. When the camera was off James walk over to me.
"So I was thinking."
"Your thinking, James you need to take a break from thinking." James shook his head.
"No I am having a party at the house tonight and show the boys that I do have stuff at my house."
“You mean all of my stuff but that's a good idea beside I would like to meet everyone."
"Saw what Joey did, we should do something to get him back." The Penguins won the game and Dan let me go because he was going to interview Chris Kunitz.

In the morning, I was in the kitchen getting the kitchen ready when I was waiting for James to leave. My car was going to be here this morning but snow hit Colorado and it was going to take 1 more week. I got one box done, I threw it so I could make more room for me. After I threw the box. I heard.
"OW!!" James came around the corner and was holding the box I just threw.
"Sorry, are you ready to go?"
"Yeah I am." My bag was already by the side of the door. James pick up my stuff and headed to his car. When we got on the plane I sat next to Potash, even thou I think James wanted to sit with him. I see that James pick the window seat, shut the blind and went back to sleep. I did the same thing to. I’m not good on plane but the only thing that made me calm down was I can see all the Penguins in swimsuit when we get there.
