Another clueless poster, and being from Canada makes it even worse...
- Did you know Pittsburgh was the birthplace of professional hockey?
- Did you know Pittsburgh was the 2nd NHL team in the U.S.?
- Did you know Pittsburgh was in the international pro league when the NHL was an amateur league?
- Did you know Canadian players used to come to Pittsburgh to play because they had the best artifical ice in North America?
- Did you know 40,000 Penguin Fans showed up at the airport at 2:00 AM to greet their team returning home with the Stanley Cup?
I'll bet there is a lot you don't know about Pittsburgh's hockey history, or your own hockey history for that matter, as it would seem. How about a history lesson...

Great post.
It's astounding to see some people display such blatant ignorance, being so quick to forget the strength of some hockey markets.
Pittsburgh no doubt is a better (and proven) hockey market than any of the other proposed destinations. The city deserves to keep the Penguins and to me it appears that is happening.
