A few years back, my wife and I were at the Finger Lakes. We called a local brewpub and asked if the playoff game (Pens v Wings) would be on a tv there at the bar. When we arrived, the bartender informed us that there is usually a couple, formerly from Detroit, that watches the games there because they don't even own a tv. Sure enough, they showed up sitting next to us. By all of our attires, there was no guessing who everyone was cheering for. This is not an issue for us, as sports and beer were all about having fun to us. I introduce us, we talk, I even buy a round of beers. They were a nice couple, although quite subdued as the Pens were in charge most of the time. Their personalities switched with the momentum of the game. The Wings came back and won, and they had become quite rude.
It's not like I needed another reason to hate the Wings.

Well, for the record pigpen, I don't hate you :). You guys have a great team in Pittsburgh and I'll say it even though you spoiled the fun in 09'. Fans can get a little too invested in their team sometimes regardless of the city or team. Good luck to you guys, unless we meet in the playoffs, then all bets are off! :D
