Introduction
Age: 41
Penguin fan since: 1980s, huge Mario fan since he came into the league- Penguins had a big following in Wheeling, WV where I was going to school.
Location: I recently moved back to Charleston, WV after 14 years in Omaha, Nebraska and 5 years in Washington, DC (where I mercilessly trolled Capitals fans at my work).
Occupation: Insurance
Favourite player: I'm a huge Malkamaniac. I also really love Phil the Thrill in all of his hot dog eating glory. Also, obviously a big Crosby and Lemieux fan. And a Matt Murray fan.
Least favourite player of all time: Alex Ovechicken, the all-time record holder for playoff failure and uncalled charging penalties.
Video game - Pretty much anything on the PS4.
Other hockey team I'm a fan of: None
Languages spoken - English
Position played: I tried to skate about once in my life in my 20s and crashed into some kids when trying to stop. I do have a pretty mean tennis game though!
Hobbies: Books, Movies, Poker, Tennis, Collecting Stuff, Penguins/Steelers/WVU fandom, PS4, Anime, Star Wars, Attending Comic Conventions, Travel.
Jerseys owned: Lemieux, Crosby. I have a Malkin sweatshirt, will purchase a Malkin jersey next.
Games Attended: I'll be at Game 1 Monday night. I was at the Oilers game last year when Malkin had 2 goals including the spinarama. I was at Lemieux's final game (the first retirement). I went to another game in 2002 during a brief unemployment skid where I didn't really have money for a game but went anyway and the Pens got killed all game and were down 3-0, when Lemieux stole the puck and went on a breakaway and scored, making the game amazing to me.
About: I've lurked the forums for years, and rarely post. Usually to just hate on Bylsma, then Fleury, then of late Kunitz. Just thought I'd say hello!
