Back as a Penguins fan


CorkyM

Recommended Posts

Since I moved, I am a few hours from Pittsburgh, Washington and Philadelphia. Actually, I am the closest driving distance to Washington.  But the only games I can get on my Comcast network are the Pens and the Caps. I can get most all of the Penguins games on that AT&T nework that used to be ROOT. The Capitals are definitely out, even though I get some of their games on Comcast Mid-Atlantic. So, I bought me a Penguins hat and I will be rooting for the Penguins this season. Hope they go all the way to the final.

Where did you live before and who did you cheer for? Just curious is all.

I lived in the Lehigh Valley from 1961. I rooted for the Flyers for many years starting around 1975. Then, sometime around 2005, and I cannot really say why, I lost interest, gave away my Starter Flyers jacket and started rooting for the Rangers a few years later. And now since I moved to Franklin County, I have been slowly getting back into hockey again and figured I should root for a team in this tv market area. There are more Penguins fans here, from what I have seen, than any other. And a friend of my wife is a big fan and goes to many of their games in Pittsburgh. Also, my grandaughter’s husband is a big Penguins fan.

Thank you, I joined quite a while ago however, then disappeared for a while. Never hesitate to ask. 

 

Ok....how can a Flyers fan possibly turn into a Rangers fan and then a Pens fan? 

 

My nephew played for the Rangers...I cheered for him, and STILL hated the Rangers.

Ok, I understand, I pretty we’ll summed it up above with the friends, relatives comment and the fact that now I am no longer in the eastern part of the state and can only get Penguins and an occasional Capitals game. I do not get the NHL network. But to be fair to you, I have always been a very changeable individual, except for the lovely woman to whom I been married to for 50 years.

I think you can use Darwin to explain that. You start out a Neanderthal and slowly grow towards knowledge.(Couldn't resist, its getting close to smack talking season you know)

 

Welcome in as a Pens fan Corky, we don't mind how you got here, just that your here.
