Well.....they got Datstuk back and that was supposed to change everything. Tonight you had your full lineup and we had Crosby hurt. We beat you on your home ice in game 7 with our best player hurt!!!
I still have yet to see one wings fan come on here to say "Congrats, you were the better team".

It's hard to be smug when your team just got destroyed on home ice in the biggest game of the year....

I see a lot of Pittsburgh bandwagon fans, but its a glorious win for the real fans who liked them in the shit years. (Which are few and far between)

Dude...I have been going to games since they wore blue uniforms the first time around.
I have pucks given to me by:
Greg Malone
Battleship Kelly
Paul Mahovalich(sp)
Ron Stackhouse
etc.
Lemieux was huge for the Pens in the early 90's and the current crop of Pens is most definitely huge right now (and hopefully for many years to come).
I, for one, am happy and very proud the Pens brought the cup back and hope there are many more to come.
That's great. But I do see and hear of twice as many Pens fans in the last two years than the last 12 years. No big deal.bstaley":1hgyxnga said:D-Rock":1hgyxnga said:It was a great game and win for the Pens. Considering where they used to be in the NHL.

I'm not sure who is "bandwagon". I'm sitting here in my Lemieux jersey purchased in the early 90's. I suffered through the last place seasons with them and went to games in those years. That makes this so much sweeter.
Thanks for the congrats nonetheless, but no bandwagon fan here.
