Penguins Are Not Coming. Let's Be Real.


First of all. I did not know they were still playing hockey. It hasn't been heard from in some time. Second of all, it appears we are being used as leverage against the city of Pittsburgh and Kansas City. Les Alexander probably won't lease out Toyota Center. He wants to buy a NHL team, and Mario probably doesn't want to sell. If they do move, then KC will get the deal. They have a brand new arena opening in the fall, and it could be all theirs. I am getting sick and tired of the yankees using us to get better deals. If it wasn't bad enough for us to have a team stolen, now we have to keep getting used like we're some third rate city. We are the 4th largest city in America. Heck, even Dallas and Nashville have Hockey teams.

We want the Pens to come here…they’re stacked!!!!! They have the best player, S. Crosby, in hockey and arguably the second best player in E. Malkin; not to mention they have a former # 1 pick at goalie, none of them over the age of 22. So let me be the first to say it…this team will win the cup in the next four years. So why not take our gloves off and get in the fight for this team. Lets show those bloody yanks who they’re dealing with…….I’m your Huckleberry”!
