Pittsburgh Penguins Fan Pulse — Gameday in Pittsburgh

How yinz are really feeling about tonight's game

Man, lemme tell ya, the North Shore is buzzin' somethin' fierce this mornin', even over in the Strip District where the coffee's flowin' as fast as the Monongahela River. Yinz know how it is when the Philadelphia Flyers come to town – it ain't just another game. There's a real hum in the air, not quite electric like a playoff night on Forbes Avenue, but more like a low, steady rumble, like a freight train comin' through the Fort Pitt Tunnel. Folks at the Primanti Bros. on 18th Street are talkin' about it over their capicola and cheese. It’s that old-school rivalry that just gets under your skin, and even with the Pittsburgh Penguins slippin' a bit lately, nobody's checked out. Nah, not against Philly.

What I'm hearin' from the guys on the T, and even my cousin up in Lawrenceville, is a mix of anxious hope. Yeah, the Pens dropped the last one, and yinz can feel that frustration, especially with the standings lookin' kinda tight. But then someone brings up Sid, and it's like a switch flips. "Crosby always shows up against those jagoffs from Philly," someone at the office told me, and that's the sentiment. There’s a quiet confidence that the Pittsburgh Penguins know what’s at stake, especially with the playoffs creepin' up. It ain't pretty all the time, but yinz always believe in this team, especially when it's the Flyers.

From dahntahn Pittsburgh — yinz know what time it is. Let's Go Pens.

My buddy Stosh and the gang got all the hot takes on this every mornin' – check 'em out at mornings.live.
