I met someone last night that was a pens fan.. Unfortunately I couldn’t find the courage to strike up a conversation with her.

Tonight I tried to buy a girl a drink at the bar. That didn’t go too well either.

My buddy decided to get my mind off things with a few games of cornhole.

After a few rounds, a girl approached me and asked if I always wear a penguins jersey wherever I go.

(missed) Opportunity (from the previous night) engaged!

I kinda flubbed through the next round of cornhole while I made the most of my regained opportunity.

As I’m chatting up my newly acquired friend, I quickly realized its the same girl that I attempted to buy a drink for earlier in the night!

So quick recap: girl from last night = girl who approaches me about my Staal jersey = girl I tried buying a drink for!

SCORE!

After a few more awesome minutes of conversation I found out that she is in town from L.A., loves hockey, loves Malkin & Crosby and will be in town for 3 more months while polo season is in session.

After our games were finished I proceeded back inside and continued to strike up a conversation. (what’s the worst that could happen right?)

Later as she was getting her cab ride home with her friend I offered to take her to the Panthers/Thrashers game tomorrow evening. She said she would love to go and took my phone number.

I said goodbye and also that I was looking forward to her call. About ten minutes after they took off I saw them back outside the bar. Asking what had happened to their cab ride home, they said that the cab driver had left already so I kindly offered them a ride home.

Update to come tomorrow evening.

We’ll see how things turn out.
