Congratulations to the Pittsburgh Penguins for winning the Stanley Cup. I know many of you probably don't like hockey and barely even know the rules, but you don't have to understand a sport to appreciate it. I love hockey. After soccer and football it's my next favorite sport to enjoy. While I'm an Avalanche fan personally, I can't help but enjoy the Penguins, but I still hate those cheat bastard Stealers (no that's not a typo). Forgiveness will never be awarded for Super Bowl XL. But back to the Penguins. I like not only good players, but players with good character. How can you not like a team with guys like Sidney Crosby, Marc-Andre Fleury, Evgeni Malkin, Sergei Gonchar, and Jordan Staal. All stand-up individuals as well as great hockey players. What a dramatic game seven last night. Crosby, only 21 and the Captain of the Pens, was hurt halfway through the game. The best player on the team, and the ice was lost but the Pens hung on to beat Detroit 2-1. A fantastic team effort. So here's to Sid the Kid, his teammates, and Mario Lemieux who purchased the Penguins to save them from being moved and kept hockey in Pittsburgh. Congratulations fellas, you earned it. Oh, and as if I needed another reason to root for Pittsburgh, I really hate those fucking Red Wings. Go Avs and Go Pens.
