The minority voicing displeasure:
You wanted the Pens to play fast offensive hockey - Chicago plays it.
You wanted a team that doesn't goon it up - Chicago plays that way.
You wanted a team built around stars - Chicago did it.
You wanted skill and speed to win instead of size and trapping - Chicago did it 3 times.
I don't get the Pens fans saying "Chicago fans are smug!!!" What fans aren't? This is a lifelong game of "WE ARE BETTER THAN YOU" throughout each city. None of us play the game. None of us do anything to make them better or worse. That's what being a fan is. It's rubbing it in when your team wins and make excuses when they lose. That's sports in a nutshell. You bet your ass if the Pens won 3 Cups like Chicago did, I'd have extra pep in my step around here and I'd damn sure let every Philly fan know it every time I got into an argument with them.
All I ask is for the FEW naysayers around here to at least man up and own up. Being a fan is all about bragging and gloating. That's what fans do. Accept the fact they are amazing. Accept the fact they ARE a dynasty. Accept the fact Pittsburgh ****ed up and couldn't do what Chicago did. You don't have to like it, but don't go calling another fan base smug. That's silly. Chicago fans took it on the chin when they were the laughing stock of the league. So did Pens fans. Let them have their moment, admit you wish it were your favorite team, and move on.
