My dad took me to baseball games in the late 70s/early 80s and he's still a huge fan of both the Bucs and the Pens (Steelers are a given).
I'm not really a fan of the Buccos anymore, thought I do root for them because I grew up in the Pittsburgh 'burbs. My dad really got hooked on the Bucs the last several years because they actually looked like something they hadn't looked like in better than two decades.. a baseball team. I've been paying attention for a few weeks leading into the playoffs.
This sucks as an end to a great season. My dad and I agree that nothing will ever beat Volek's goal in 93, but this is pretty lousy.
