March of the Penguins

As I type this I'm listening to a little debate between Anthony Gargano and Glen Macnow on WIP Sports Radio. Part of the conversation is whether Philly hockey fans should root for the Penguins or the Hurricanes in the NHL playoffs. In my experience many Flyers fans loose interest in hockey once their team is done. Philly's hatred of Sidney Crosby should tell you how the hockey fans who are still interested are voting. I've grown use to it. There really is no good reason for a Flyers fan to cheer for the Penguins. Likewise I don't find many reasons to pump my fist for the orange and black. Mutual dislike, in this case, is expected. I know I am on my own little island here in Philadelphia celebrating the attributes of #87 and following the Pens quest for the cup. All those around me might hate Sid for his whining ways but those in the know realize that he more than makes up for it with his dominance on the ice. Now it's time to relax, grab a beer and watch the Penguins march through the Carolina Hurricanes. Pittsburgh in 6.
