The preseason is now officially over and the regular season begins Saturday for the Pittsburgh Penguins.
We had two preseason games last week along with Penguins fan fest on Sunday. The Penguins lost both of their last two preseason games, ending the preseason on a sour note.
It was much of the same routine as the previous games, with a few twists in between.
We still haven't gone over a couple of our daily game day duties due to the preseason, but for the most part, we're off and running and starting to get comfortable with each other.
I had the chance to run microphones again at the post game press conference for the Penguins coach on Wednesday. Saturday, I got sound from Columbus coach John Tortorella's post game media scrum.
I wrote a few game notes in preparation for the regular season where we'll write notes on a daily basis.
We'll also start to add more graphic elements to our daily routine to enhance our social media feeds.
Sunday was a long day.
We arrived at Penguins fan fest at around 9 a.m. and didn't leave until 7 a.m. I worked both sessions of the Penguins fan fest that lasted six and four hours a piece.
I spent the morning running a waiver station that hundreds of fans visited in order to get clearance to play different games on the ice level of PPG Paints Arena. During the afternoon session, I manned an autograph scratch off ticket redemption station on the concourse level and had to instruct hundreds of fans on where to go and how to redeem their tickets for a wristband that would give them access to an autograph session.
We had a few left over after a couple sessions and I got to walk around the arena looking for kids or families that could use an autograph session. I made a few kids days when I told them they would get to meet one of the players and get their autograph. That was cool.
There was a lot that went into the past few days, but we made it through the preseason. Now, the regular season begins Thursday with an 8:00 start against the Washington Capitals.
