I just read about this. Apparently, a new deal has been reached that would keep the Penguins in Pittsburgh for the next 30 years. You can read about it here. Apparently, there will be a press conference with the official announcement today at 5pm.
Normally, I’m not a huge hockey fan. In fact, I haven’t really paid attention to the Penguins since the mid 90’s. That said, the Penguins are one of the things that put Pittsburgh on the map. Losing a major sports team means that your city loses visibility and part of its reputation as a major city. So, I’m glad that the Penguins will be staying even if I don’t really have any plans to become a devoted fan.

Hear, hear! Or is it “here, here!” Whichever it is, I’m in total agreement.
I am so relieved that they have decided to stay. Hockey is the only sport I sort of understand.
The Pens have pretty much been my life these past few months – but now it’s time to mix in the Pirates a bit. Happy opening day – lets go bucs!
