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.

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
