I was at the Penguins game Dec 29 2006 watching my Leafs lose and I saw some fans with a big banner that was about the rally. I live 5 hours away in Ontario so I could not go. As glad as I would be to see a new NHL team in Ontario I would still hate to see an NHL team with such history lose the team. When I was in the city it seemed the locals all loved the Steelers but did not care as much about the Penguins. Being as the NFL season ends December-February this would leave Feb to June to cheer for the Penguins so that is something to keep in mind for all you Steelers fans.

I went to the rally! I really hope it helped but time will tell!!
This city loves the Pens! Its Gov. Rendell who doesn't care about the western side a PA.
If it was Philly this would not be a problem!!! He is a A.SSHOLE!!

Sometimes I feel like people in Pittsburgh have such a love affair with the Steelers that they lose sight of the great franchise that is the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Steelers are champs, but so are the Pens who have won 2 Stanley Cups. Retired or still active the Penguins have produced a whos who of great talent throughout the NHL; Mario Lemieux, Jaromir Jagr, Alexi Kovalev, Martin Straka, Darius Kasparaitis, just to name a few. I wave my terrible towel for the Steelers, and when the seasons over cheer for the Pens.

Well you're town has Problems, Pirates and Steelers are not the Penguins, and Hockey's not Baseball or Football, this is a Tough sell for you.

Dude, I wish that I could have been there. I'm originally from around Pittsburgh and I would hate to see the 'Burgh lose the Penguins.
