TheJim – Thanks coach! You sir are an inspiration to sports bloggers in this fine city.

BlacknGold66 – I actually have a season ticket holder who sits in front of me (and has for 7 years) who shouts “DO SOMETHING!!!” Drives us all nuts. He may be thrown from F-Balcony

Burgh Baby – I have an older lady who sits by me once in awhile and has done that all season. I dont know if it’s so she can seem interested with her kid but goddamn enough already.

Seek – absolutely agree! You’d think that people who could pronounce Chris Fuamatu-Ma’afala would be able to say Pascal Dupuis.

Steeler_Tom – You can always join the faithful outside the area! Same rules apply there also

Stoosh – So you don’t reply to my emails but you’ll comment on my blog. Fr. Larry would like to have a word with you! I’m almost done with editing the video and man you’re gonna laugh your ass off. Masi was Mark McGuire. Mr. Scharrer’s legend is that of Gary Roberts though I’d take Fr. Mac in a throwdown.

BB – It’s OK to voice frustration (or as we say in F2, when someone “gonch’d it”) but yeah I’m not for the booing.

Pensgirl – see, people need to learn the rules for watching hockey!

Seriously, thanks everyone for the comments. I’ve been hella busy to actually keep up with my blog posts the last few weeks so thanks for stoppin by.

GO PENS!

I happened to be at Game 2 on Sunday. The people next to me entered in the second period during play (why the people on the end of the aisle let them in is beyond me). The guy in front of me stood up at least once per shift (no exaggeration) and seemed not to notice people yelling at him to sit down.

And in the parking lot after the game, I heard some moron – not the dude from my section – say “My section was totally lame…they kept telling me to sit down during the game. IT’S THE PLAYOFFS!”

Clearly not hockey fans.

I have no objection to casual or bandwagon fans. The additional revenue is good for the Pens. But I cannot stand people who come in and refuse to adhere to hockey etiquette.

By the way, the Burrito/Awesome Nachos stand or whatever is just outside the concourse entrance to Section C-12-13-14 or something like that. Not too far from PenStation. Leave it to the fat kid to tell you that.

My work here is finished. Smack yourself…you pagan.

Question: Was Gerry Masi the Cathedral Prep version of Gary Roberts? Or would that have been Mr. Scharrer? I say it was Masi because he once caught a couple of kids having a paper-ball fight and made them both eat an entire sheet of paper.

But please do us a favor and show them some respect by NOT wearing any Steeler laundry.

Wear anything else to the gate…. and as soon as you get inside the Igloo, buy (at least ) an inexpensive Pens T-shirt and change in the restroom.

No offense, but OUR colors are black and VEGAS gold. And those things our team wears aren’t called a jersey…they are called sweaters in hockey parlance!

PS: Don’t even attempt to pronounce the players names until you know how!

* Do not repeatedly ask the person sitting next to you questions like: “Who’s #87?” “Where is that guy that’s from Pittsburgh?” “Where’s that Jordan guy?” or “Who’s Geno?” Just shut up and watch the game. (I might be speaking directly to the guy that was sitting next to me last Friday.)
