The day is nearly upon us as the League tweeted today that the the schedule for the 2011-2012 season will be made available to the public tomorrow, Thursday at 4 p.m. Wilkes-Barre time pending Board of Governors approval. The Board will vote on it first thing tomorrow morning and then it will publish at 4 p.m. tomorrow afternoon. Look for a tweet from the League tomorrow mid-morning on whether the Board passed it or not.
Two other things before I go…
Binghamton and Hamilton will hookup in the preseason almost guaranteeing that Wilkes-Barre will not play the Senators in the preseason. That fourth road game for Wilkes-Barre has yet to be announced. I’d expect that news to come sooner rather than later.
Finally I reached 600 follows on the Twitter side Tuesday night due to in large part the help of the Pens on Twitter. I want to thank that braintrust who suggested me to their followers and thank all new and old followers. This means I will be giving away two tickets to the September 19 Black and Gold Game II to a random follower on Monday. The other pair I have will be up for grabs probably sometime by the end of the month. If I get to 625 follows, I will buy another two pair and have another drawing and will do so for every 25 new followers I get (650, 675, 700, etc.) so if you are a long time blog reader and a non-follower, follow for your chance to win.
I will have the Penguins schedule posted blogside tomorrow afternoon around dinnertime, but immediate reactions will be had on the Twitter side.
