Hopelessly Devoted

If you had told me back in October that the Penguins would make the playoffs, I would have said, "Well, duh."

If you had told me back in November that the Penguins would make the playoffs, I would have said, "ROCK ON!"

If you had told me back in December that the Penguins would make the playoffs, I would have said, "We'll see about that."

If you had told me back in January that the Penguins would make the playoffs, I would have said, "I don't know about that."

If you had told me back in February that the Penguins would make the playoffs, I would have said, "It's not nice to screw with me like that."

If you had told me back in March that the Penguins would make the playoffs, I would have said, "You've been smoking something."

If you had told me early in April that the Penguins would make the playoffs, I would have said, "SHUT UP! DON'T JINX IT!"

If you had told Alexis at any time that the Penguins would make the playoffs, she would have said, "Let's go, Pens!"

She has no concept of winning or losing, and her devotion has remained steady all through her short life. Her answer is always, "Let's go, Pens!"

So, LET'S GO, PENS!

Up here in Toronto we're seriously jealous. Sigh.

pretty simple philosophy, seems to me!

Let's go Pens! Even though I don't follow hockey. It is hockey right? Can I still be one of the cool kids?

Well, its not the winning or losing, its how you cheer!

I don't usually comment, but I wanted to wish you luck as we kick off the Stanley Cup playoffs. I, of course, will be rooting for the Bruins, but I hope your beloved Pens do ALMOST as well.

I like Alexis' fan spirit. It was hard for me to pull it off last year with the B's, but I'm finding it easier this year. Go figure.

Love it! You're raising her right :).
Let's go, Pens!!

Ah, loyalty. It's so hard to come by any more.

wooo! (Dan got Maggie to say "Go Pens!" last night and I think I saw a tear of pride. heh)

Yeah...I don't know jack squat about hockey:P Are the Hawks any good?

You know the weirdest thing about moving back to PA from NC was how into hockey everyone was in NC where I lived. Now in PA, at least in my middle of nowhere town, it doesn't seem like as many people follow hockey. In NC we lived about 45 minutes from the Hurricanes arena, so proximity probably played a big part.

Either way, go Pens!

Way to go Alexis! Keep the spirit alive! Let's Go Pens! (And I STILL can't believe they're in...I truly had my doubts:)
