I love comments. Love, love, LOVE comments. I also love emails. Love, love, LOVE emails. But today? All day? Has been THE BEST! Y'all are so sweet to be concerned about my mental stability following last night's game. Seriously. SO SWEET!
I am totally fine. If I jump off a bridge in the next few days, it won't be because I'm at all disappointed in the performance of the Pittsburgh Penguins. I am nothing but proud of the fight the players showed each and every game and the class Pens fans showed after last night's game. All those folks who hung out after the game chanting, "Let's go Pens" and politely congratulating the Wings during the trophy ceremony? Every single one of them rocks.
I love me some Penguins hockey, I love me some Penguins players, and I love me some Penguins fans.
My biggest love, though? All of y'all who took an interest in the game(s) because you knew I was interested in the games. Here's a sample comment from Cecily that had me grinning for hours:
"Guess what! Our whole darn family watched last night. All of us squished on the couch. We all cheered for the Penins (I don't think Gracie and Isaac ever got that they weren't really called that). And even though it was the first hockey game any of us other than Jon had really taken an interest in, we were all way bummed. BOOO."
New hockey fans? Maybe. If so--AWESOME! New Pens fans? Maybe. If so--SO VERY AWESOME! And bonus--you gotta' love a little Penguins hockey bringing a family together.
All y'all who showed a little interest in whether the Pens won or lost, stay tuned. It's a young team. The best is yet to come.
It's not a matter of "if" they'll win that Cup, it's "how many times" and "when" they'll win that Cup.
We all know it.
