Sorry, Pens, But I’m Done With You
WNYMedia.net » BfloBlog —
When the Cup finals started, I really wasn’t sure who I was going to pull for. I love the energy that Pittsburgh brings to the game, and I was hopeful that it would translate into some new viewers for the NHL. I also respect the tradition that Detroit brings, and despite their attendance issues the past two years, they really are a model franchise in a real hockey city.
I figured Detroit would romp, but I wasn’t sure how I felt about that.

Puck Daddy —
Hey, remember these? In the Stanley Cup Playoffs, we're bound to lose some friends along the journey. Gone but not forgotten, we've asked for these losers to be eulogized by the people who knew the teams best: The fans who hated them the most. Here is Matt P. from the Philadelphia Flyers site The 700 Level recalling the 2007-08 Pittsburgh Penguins. "The Penguins were a good hockey team, and good men. They were men who liked the outdoors... and hockey. And as skaters they explored the rinks of Western Pennsylvania, from East Allegheny to the [Vegas] Golden ...
