9 Things Penguin Fans Are Tired of Hearing

Could you be any less original?

9 Things Penguin Fans Are Tired of Hearing
Pittsburgh Penguins

I get a lot of crap for being a Penguins fan. Mainly because I'm a girl, but also because they think I know nothing about hockey. Funny thing is I think the same thing about guys that are Blackhawks fans--but I can't blame them. Three cups since 2010? That's really good. Until you get bounced out in the first round two years in a row.

But it's okay, because Jonathan Toews has excellent leadership.

Everyone expects me to know absolutely everything about the team but that's ridiculous. I know a history of the team but I don't know everything about them. That would be unrealistic. I'm sure everyone else gets these same comments or questions and we're tired of it.

1. "Cindy Crosby."

Could you be any more unoriginal? Chandler Bing would like to know.

2. "You only like them for Sidney Crosby."

Yeah. Okay. But have you seen Malkin play?

Or the Hagelin - Bonino - Kessel line.

And the beaut that we call Flower.

3. "Who's your favorite player? Bet it's Crosby."

Yeah I actually bet a kid his dinner if he could guess my favorite player. Let's just say I didn't have to pay for my meal.

That doesn't look like Sidney Crosby to me.

4. "I bet you only like them because of the Stanley Cup."

Which one? The ones before I was born? Or the two recent ones? Be specific. Because the answer is none of the above.

5. "Pittsburgh gets all the calls."

How about that dirty hit on Daley? Where was Wilson's penalty?

Of course, he got the penalty when Guentzel went into the Penguins bench.

6. Toews is better than Crosby.

These are Toews' stats.

And these are Crosby's stats.

Crosby was drafted a year before Toews but has also had some gnarly concussions that have caused him to miss over 150 games. He also had the mumps, so like vaccinate your children.

7. "Can you name every member of the team?"

Yeah, I can name all of the team. And the AHL team. And your team. Next question.

Then again this team has so many injuries, 90% of our AHL team sees regular playing time during the season.

8. "Crosby dives."

Okay. I'll give you that one. But he has gotten a lot better and well, PK Subban was just fined for embellishment. It happens even though it shouldn't.

And a special one just for the girls...

9. "You just think Crosby is hot."

Yeah he's attractive.


But.


Have.

You.

Seen.

This.


Team.

They are all very attractive and very good at hockey. I can appreciate the skills and the faces.

I've heard everything. Multiple times. You can keep hating, Crosby still is never going to be on your favorite team. He's still better than your favorite active player. You're still going to be salty and annoy me.

But in the end, it doesn't even matter because Phil Kessel is a Stanley Cup champion.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
