I'm from Detroit, back in the Dead Wings era, and remember when the Captain first put on the sweater with the winged wheel, as a teenager working as a stockboy having the prettiest girl at Sears working the candy store giving me a kiss during/after talks about Stevie and the Wings, when they finally won the cup, turtling Claude, championships and painful early playoff losses. With all the FAs leaving teams, they're really the only pro team in any sport I really care and follow. <br /><br />Love the post from your parents. Tell 'em I'm also a Steelers fan, always cheering when they knocked off the Cowboys, and even before when it seemed Bradshaw spent half the game on his back.<br /><br />This year was disappointing, but I don't dislike the Pens. Sid and Malkin could grow up a bit, but Sid's still young. And it's not like Detroit fans acted any worse than Crosby. Most of all, while I wanted the Wings to win, I'm happy for Mario that he won a Cup as an owner; more than any other owner in the league, he deserved to win a cup for his franchise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926260316466488086.post-83121435802225945172009-07-09T18:24:10.972-04:002009-07-09T18:24:10.972-04:00Hummmmmmmmmmmmmm....

Bu...Hummmmmmmmmmmmmm....<br />Not the way we recall it. <br />But enjoy reveling in the Detroit losses for the next 5 years or so. We'll enjoy watching the Penguins - as we always have. Football is still number one in this house however but theres always plenty of room for Stanley Cup Penguins hockey after the Super Bowl.<br />Mom and DadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926260316466488086.post-17880756753155138832009-07-09T08:44:21.227-04:002009-07-09T08:44:21.227-04:00You're still a freak, but now it's a bit c...You're still a freak, but now it's a bit clearer why you're a freak.
