Those of us that were not fortunate enough to wiggle our way into the arena last Wednesday evening, were certainly fortunate enough to be in the company of a wondrous sea of Pittsburghers for Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals. If you've ever been to a post-season game in this city (minus the Pirates), you know what I mean by wondrous - i.e. the final line spoken in a phone convo by the lady behind us: "It's the m'f'n playoffs! Of course I'm emotional you SOB! They're f'n blowin the thing! FINE! You don't f'n care?! Don't expect me to come home tonight! Actually! I WILL f'n come home and MAKE you f'n care!" This line could have been spoken to a friend, a relative, a husband, oh, you know, a child...

Pittsburgh, always in such fine form... and we love you so.

For those unaware, the Penguins were kind enough to erect a temporary 12x16 LED screen for the unlucky souls unable to acquire tickets. It's actually pretty cool that thousands of fans have consistently shown up outside Gate 3, rain or shine, throughout the playoffs.

For photography's sake, this naturally turned out to be a great lil shoot.
