I cheered for the Pens each of those years, but only because their Stanley Cup drought had been longer than Detroit's. Now I'm more a Penguins fan because the damned Red Wings signed Todd Bertuzzi, a man whom I believe has no business playing hockey. That the Red Wings can look past his egregious thuggery tarnishes them a bit in my eyes.Perplexiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09971805688658949769noreply@blogger.com
