If its one thing Pittsburgh knows its how to embrace a team. After a Hockey season with ups, downs and changes the Pens captain Sidney Crosby held that Stanley Cup high over his head Friday night. I wasn't in Detroit but I imagine even through the distasteful and ignorant boos from the defeated Red Wing fans you could still hear the exuberant cries of victory from our Champion saturated city across Lake Erie. (65% from the South Side)
There is something exciting in the process of a challenge but to me its not nearly as fun as celebrating the win! Pittsburgh has celebration running through its veins and it doesn't take long for us fans to show it. My local diner (Kelly O’s) at 6am was already serving the Mad Max Burrito while people rushed into Dicks Sporting Goods for a hot –of -the press Stanley cup Champions t- shirt.
Some may call the worlds greatest city Athletically Spoiled but I'm just fine with Champions. See you at the Parade.
