My fanhood was forged in the fires of the standings basement in the early 2000s, then tempered by three years of being surrounded by Caps fans back when I lived in D.C. When Alain Nasreddine is the team’s points leader and you can get seats on the glass at the Igloo with $10 and a student ID, you either become an obsessed fan of the game or jump off the Zamboni. I became obsessed, thanks in no small part to a girl and her hockey-loving family. Fast-forward to today and I’m back in my beloved ‘burgh. I follow the Pens religiously – not to mention the goings on of the rest of the league almost as closely; I play (poorly) in an adult league with a great bunch of equally obsessed guys; and I have enough opinions on all things Penguins to get myself in plenty of trouble if I get a large enough forum.
