Congratulations!!

Hope to see "you" soon mamapinky! Go Penguins! Until we meet on the ice ;)

In your dreams, rob! From another Penguins country person who really would like this to be over so we can get some NEWS news on tv instead of PENGUINS news.

Don't worry, you can lose in four games to the Preds and then it'll be over quickly.

Go Nashville!!!! Congratulations, Rob!!

Congratulations on your team's win! I know how great it feels... because I'm a Penguins fan!

As you can see I edited my post to be a little more sportsmanlike. But, as a true hockey fan, I had to get my dig in at the end. :D

What are you talkin' 'bout? We're supposed to trash talk. That's sports for you!

Rob, it was very nice to see you on the ice last night..lol...I'm just playing around.

It sure was nice to see a exciting game. I hate when neither team shoots, only chases the puck around the ice. I have to admit, I truly have seen Pekka stymied. Never. I find that amazing. No one gets past him. Certainly not like last night. Wow

Another native Pittsburgher. That was a spectacular game. My brother was at the arena and said the place was going nuts.

What's this I hear about a catfish being tossed onto the ice? I heard the tail end about it, but haven't a clue what its about anyone know??

Throwing dead animals on the ice (wrong!) is a tradition started with the Red Wings and octopi. I'm pretty sure I saw a duck after we played Anaheim. It's one of those superstitions. Throw your animal, and you'll win. Sick! And dumb

ETA: catfish is typically Southern and you can find them easily here. They fill the rivers here. Very Nashville fish

We're a Red Wings house and I am here to say, the octopi did not help them this season. Did not even make the playoffs. My husband said if you can get in trouble for putting catfish on ice, a lot of people are going to get arrested. :)

Rob I agree...my son stopped by he just said he heard the Predators, or rather one of the Predators threw the catfish, but isn't sure if he was told the truth, his friend said he seen it on the news but we know it could have been fake news.

It was a fan, and they are now arrested.

Thank you Rob I will pass this onto my son who says he couldn't imagine the Predators doing it.

All charges against the nitwit have been dropped. Apparently there is nothing in the rules against that sort of stupidity at a sporting event.

These games are the most fantastic! I'm really enjoying playing Pittsburgh. The only other team I say that about is Red Wings. They actually play hockey out there. It could be because I cut my teeth on Nashville Knights hockey. Oh my, so rowdy! Scrapping, fighting, digging their way through the games.

I keep saying, I think Pittsburgh fans seems to be enjoying it as much as we. This Pittsburgh article says so. Are you enjoying them mamapinky?

I don't watch haha...I've never had a taste for sports..I try to keep up with when a Pittsburgh team is playing so I can cheer them on and pretend I have some degree of knowledge, but honestly I don't. But its fans like you Rob that make me smile and even wish I had an interest so I could talk the talk. What's the games looking like now I haven't heard?

They are fighting hard. They're throwing each other into the glass, diving onto the ice, down the wire every moment!!!!! They are worshiping the puck. Both, equally well.

Here's THE highlight of the game, about 0:30 seconds into the video. I'll never forget it! And not just because he's Nashville's goalie. There were many of really good plays on the Pens part too. My favorite giggle of the evening was when a Pens player kicked it to block it. It popped up and they went back to knocking it around with sticks. Great plays. You should try to catch game 5. Should be great.

I worked for the owner (Henry Samueli) of the Ducks back when they won the Stanley Cup in 2007. Very exciting time! I had the cup sitting outside my office for the better part of a day and got several photos taken with it and its chaperone.

I have never heard of the tradition to toss dead animals on the ice. Yow and ewww.

Go Predators Go!

What a game 4

Well done all. Some fantastic saves by Rinne. I'm excited for game 5.

Good luck tonight!

Rob, Good Luck to your Predators.

Thank you! It was a very disappointing game all around. Not exciting. Poorly judged, poorly played. Ick. I'm ok with the Pens winning two in a row, but to have fought so pathetically? I'm not ok with that. Bad taste in my mouth. I'll get over it!

Happy for you Pittsburgh!!!

Rob, we are Pittsburgh fans, having lived there for thirteen years and my son sit lives there. that being said, DH thinks the Predators were robbed. It should have been a 1 -1 game. I taped the game and fast forwarded it to the third quarter so I missed the call. I did see the ref say the goal was made after the whistle blew but erased the tape before DH told me what he thought so I couldn't replay it. But even this morning he was saying it was a bad call.

Bad judging. Truly, I mean it. I try to be fair even when it's my team and they were "robbed". Ugh!

Boo. Bad call by the ref!

The higher ups should have overruled that obvious mistake.

Nashville deserved better.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

I agree, it didn't seem right to take that goal away from Nashville. Don't think it would have changed the out come though. Whatever, I am already tired of the waaaaay over the top tv coverage of the Penguins win here in the Pittsburgh area. You would think that the rest of the world has stopped everything just to celebrate a bunch of athletes. Get over it already!

Rob, I'm sorry. I didn't watch any of the games, so no comment about fairness. I only even responded to this post when it began just to play around with Rob.

It's fine! No foul here.

Rinne was great and I'm happy for him. Hope he just gets better and better.
