"24" and the Pittsburgh Penguins

Quick story:

So I go to the Pens game last night (Sidney Crosby is the Mayor of Philadelphia), and when the game's about to start, the lights go down and the scoreboard turns on.  On the jumbotron, the familiar "burning digital clock" of 24 starts flashing on. Only instead of "burning in" as "24", it cycles through all of the best Penguins' numbers (71, then 29, then 12) before ending with "87".  Then cue Keifer, "The following takes place between 7:00 PM and 10:00 PM" (of course there was the text on the screen to match) and before you know it, a badass unknown numetal rock song kicks up, and the screen fills with Penguins highlights (displayed in continuously changing split-screen formation, natch) as the team takes the ice.

This was the coolest Jumbotron moment in the history of professional sports. It was even better than "D-Generation Bucs" which debuted in 1999 (and was the impetus for my "D-Generation OX idea) and then returned last season.

if there's a God, and it's online, i will send it to you all.
