I'm a born and raised Yinzer that relocated to the west coast about 4 years ago. Currently, I reside in Phoenix, AZ but I cannot wait to someday move back to the East coast circumstances permitting. I remember back when I was young and the Pens won back to back in the early 90's. I was at the ceremony as a child at Three Rivers Stadium on that rainy day to celebrate the 2nd consecutive Stanley Cup Championship won by the Pens. Being as it was raining there was a tarp across the field. That did not stop Bryan Trottier from grabbing the cup, and baseball sliding across that tarp in celebration. That was the day I knew I would be a Pens fan for the rest of my life ( I also had a Paul Coffey jersey at the time).

When the Pens won the Cup in 2009, I was by myself in my apartment overjoyed at the fact that I've seen another Cup won in my life. The chants of "Let's Go Pens" in "Hockeytown" Detroit sent chills down my spine during throughout the entire game. My only regret was that I had no one to share that experience with because of where I was at the time.

I'm hoping this is somewhere that I can express the fan that I am, and share my experiences with others that know what I do. That is that we have the 2nd coming of our Penguins dynasty. We have many more cups to come in the upcoming years, and I wouldn't be surprised if we caught up to the Steelers in the next decade (and we will do it in fewer decades than it took them to do it).

Cheers to anyone out there that loves the Pens…and scratch my back with a F’n hacksaw Elvis has left the building.
