To be fair I have zero ties to KC and I'm a Chiefs fan
, but yeah Pittsburgh is my local market. I just can't stand the Steelers and their fans so I "picked" an NFL team I liked.
Pens on the other hand, how could you not like Lemieux, Jagr, Stevens, Samuelson, Downtown Robbie Brown, Ron Francis, The list goes on.
Yeah we had some shit years. I remember cheering when we broke our 17 game losing streak during the crap years. It was against the coyotes in overtime and scored by Rick Jackman! I remember the local coverage BEGGING us to buy lower bowl seats in a 5 pack for 25 bucks a piece. Instead of interviewing OUR players in between periods, they interviewed the other teams players LOL!
We lucked out when Malkin was held back from joining the team because of the KHL dispute and we had another year to suck netting us Crosby. The Pens are very lucky and very blessed that's for sure. It's a fun franchise to be a fan of.
