Instead of passing pucks, a few Penguins spent Thursday passing out season tickets. As a show of their appreciation for tremendous fan support, Pittsburgh Penguins players hand-delivered season tickets to 24 season ticket-holders throughout the Pittsburgh area. Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Marc-Andre Fleury, Ryan Whitney, Colby Armstrong and Maxime Talbot made the deliveries to the fans, who were selected at random. Videos of the ticket passing can be seen here: penguins.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NewsPage&articleid=336735 |

Now thats a good PR move. It makes the fans feel like they really are appreciated. Also great for the young guys to stay in touch with the fanbase. Sometimes these guys get caught up in making the money, and this can lead to them not giving the fans the time of day...such as no autographs, making short appearances at events and again just basically ignoring the fans.
I'm not a huge Penguins fan...but kudos to them!

Also, just so you guys know, we advised all the fans that were picked to get the "special delivery" in advance so they would be home. Hence the jersey on the door, lady wearing a pens shirt, big group of people at the house, etc. They maybe should have warned all the dogs too  Evgeni looked kinda scared. |

How did they pick the "special deliveries"? We picked randomly. Much like the Wildcats will pick randomly for the 4 wheeler. Winners included season ticket of all sorts. First year,30th year, 20 game plan,etc. |
