Tonight, the Pittsburgh Penguins play the Detroit Red Wings in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The last time the Pens were in the finals, I was a crazy high school fan screaming for Mario to blast it past the goalie. Now, I'm a crazy old fan screaming for Crosby and Malkin to blast it past the goalie. I know there are thousands of other fans who are going to feel young again when the Pens take the ice. It's wonderful to feel the excitement of the city.
IT'S A HOCKEY NIGHT IN PITTSBURGH !

UPDATE!
The Pens win an historic Game 5 in the third overtime...visit Pittsburgh Tribune-Review to view a cool video of Coach Therrien, Crosby, and Sykora talking about the game. And, a shout out to Dominos pizza, which seems to have fueled Sykora's goal in overtime!
