PenguinPoop.com : ABOUT US - Pittsburgh Penguins Blog

ABOUT US

We are 8 or 9 Pittsburgh Penguin fans who have come together with one common interest.

Our goal is not to be a comedy/photoshop blog (don’t get us wrong, we love ‘em), our goal is not to be a place to visit for all warm fuzzy heartwaming stories about the Penguins. Our single most important goal is to have our opinions heard whether warm & fuzzy or dragged up from the trenches of hell, which is why most of us use an alias so we need not pull any punches.

Almost all of us are current season ticket holders, one of us for 37 years, all of us have been season ticket holders, we sit all over the Consol Energy Center, most of us have played organized hockey, some of us still play organized hockey, one of us is a referee who used to play hockey, one of us wrote the book on Pittsburgh Penguins hockey “Total Penguins.” We range in age from 26 to sixt… let’s just say in the sixties, we live anywhere from a little over 3000 feet from the Consol Energy Center to the furthest being 35 miles from it.

The one thing that brings us together is that we are all die-hard Pittsburgh Penguins fans and we debate the team happenings non stop any time we are within shouting distance of each other. The bulk of us go to most of the games so our opinions are home grown, not influenced by what a TV announcers say about on ice happenings.

Please notice that there are several writers here and each opinion is not that of our collective group. You may even see us debating each other in the comments.

We get asked all the time, why the name PenguinPoop? The only reason I can think of is because when we were thinking of a name for a blog, PenguinPoop made us giggle, especially when we thought of stuffy people saying “hey you’ve got to see this thing I saw on PenguinPoop“ We knew we might be on to something when one of the biggest hockey blogs called us:

“perhaps the best-named sports blog on the planet“ – Puck Daddy blog on Yahoo

and when the great Dan Moriarty said:

“I had the pleasure this past week, being interviewed for PenguinPoop, a Pittsburgh Penguin blog. First of all, when the best named blog in hockey reaches out, you respond!” – Dan Moriarty (NHL Cool Shots & Inside the NHL)

PenguinPoop is happy to be listed on many sports services along with all the other great Pittsburgh Penguins blogs, we are even happier that Iphonesportsnews.com has picked PenguinPoop, the Post-Gazette and Pensburgh to be their local Pittsburgh Penguins information source, that Versus “The Daily Line” asked us to be on their TV show and that 93.7 the FAN has included us in several of their TV commercials.

Thanks for reading and supporting us. Go Pens!
