Versus couldn't be bothered to cut away from having Keith Jones offer generic uniformed opinions on the Penguins' power play from its postgame to cover the always entertaining "Shirts Off Our Backs" ceremony the Penguins hold for their final home game of the season.
The Penguins' Web site thankfully provided a wonderful video of the event last night:

First, I want to thank Empty Netters for a great blog, Great blog.
Second, thanks to you and the Pens for showing the video.
I love the tradition and enjoy watching the fans get something back, esp. those who are season ticket holders.
What is disappointing that the last home game was chosen by VS. knowing this is a well received attraction. It's also a thanks to those who watch ROOT (FSN) since they are out of town.
I'm not sure who is to blame...ROOT, VS., the Pens. But the last home game should always be shown on Root to reward those who watch all the games.
Hopefully, this mistake won't be made next year.

Does anyone know how they select the winners for the "shirts off our backs"? I've been to every one of these games since they started the promotion, but I've never seen anyone being notified they were selected or heard any announcements. The winners just seem to show up on the ice at the end. Is it truly a random selection, or is this prize exclusive to friends and sponsors of the team (or at least those that buy much more expensive tickets than mine)?

Great job.
