I'm Stephanie,I'm 24,I live in Tampa,which makes me a Lightning fan by default,but I'm a Penguins fan by choice,which draws a lot of "abuse" from my friends,all of whom can't stand Sid,and are all about Ovechkin. Personally,I can't stand Ovechkin,but I keep my Ovie-bashing to myself,for the most part,because that's a debate I know I'll never win. ANYWAY.....I've been into hockey since 2004,when the Lightning made it to,and won the Cup finals. I got hard-core into it in the 07-08 season,and I got into the Penguins during the playoffs. But before that,I had only seen the Penguins twice before the playoff--the Winter Classic,and when they were in Tampa,and that was only out of curiosity about Sid,because up until then,I had only heard about him,and then I heard all the negative things people said and thought,so I decided to make up my own mind about him. But yeah......yes,that's Coach Bylsma with me in my profile picture....my friend and I had the chance to meet him,and talk to him for a minute,when the Pens were in Tampa then end of the season. He was super-nice. My favorite players on P-burgh are Max,Sid,Geno,Jordan,Marc-Andre Fleury,Kris Letang,Chris Kunitz,......actually,there's no one on the team I DON'T like. On my home-town team,my favorite players is,first and foremost,Vinny Lecavalier,then Paul Ranger,Paul Szczechura,Andrej Meszaros,and Evgeny Artyukhin.
