NHL and NBA playoffs!

Neither am I - a fair weather fan. I moved to this area 40+ years ago, and immediately became a Wings fan - through all the years when they were called the Dead Things. I truly thought I would die without seeing the Stanley Cup here. Then came 1997, followed by 1998 and then 2002.

Hockey Bliss

I hear ya - just a few years ago the Pens were about the worst team in hockey. Of course it's more fun to see my team win, but I still love them when they are losing.

I'm with ya there. Although I'm not a Pens fan or a Red Wings fan. My team was knocked out a while ago lol. Stupid Flyers... I'm just glad the Pens beat out the Flyers haha.

I remember the commentator saying the other night that the Pens used to have trouble selling 1200 tickets for a home game and now they have 1200 fans travelling to away games. So where were all these fans when they were losing? Don't fair weather fans drive you nuts lol. They come in during all the glory and then are no where to be found during the hard times. STINKS

Jen and/or Sparks -

Don't either of you remember 1991 - 92? Back-to- back Cups for Pittsburgh.

Remember Bob Johnson, coach for the first one; then he died of a brain tumor and Scotty Bowman took over and they won again. Then Scotty moved on to Detroit.

I do remember - I was just getting interested in hockey. I was in 6th grade I think, or something like that. That was exciting.....I also remember the one playoff game that went into something like 4 overtimes.....didn't end until 2am!!

Oh my - you are young!

I think the playoff game you refer to was in 2000, against the dastardly Flyers. The Flyers won, on a goal by Keith Primeau, at 12:01 of the 5th OT period!!

That could be - I barely remember the game, just that it went on forever....and I wasn't allowed to stay up to watch as it was a school night

Finally.

Still expecting more from Malkin though.

but at least it is a good series now Much more interesting.

and MAN... what is Bettman on? he wants high scoring games. NOTHING to me is more exciting than the last 2 minutes of a one goal or a tie game
