I prolly shouldn't ask this but are you from MO? How did you come to be a Pitt fan? I am not judging mind, just in Canada if your Province has a hockey team in the NHL it's usual to pull for that team...This province doesn't have one so there is a 3 or 4 way split, Leafs/Habs/Bruins and Pitt because of the greatest player in the NHL Sid the Kid...

I am going against my Cajun roots in pulling for the Leafs but i have an excuse I split my early years between Toronto and Sulphur/Lake Chuck/and Glasgow in Scotland

Yes I'm from MO, about 4 hours from STL.
Hockey isn't big here, so when I was about 8 years old or so and started getting into and learning sports, I really liked hockey and there aren't really any Blues fans down here so I was going to pick who I liked. My older brothers favorite team/player was Mario, and as a kid, my favorite animal was a Penguin, used to have a ton of stuffed animal Penguins and what not.
So when I learned hey this Mario guy my brother likes is on a team called the Penguins? Loved them ever since.
My first jersey was a youth road white Martin Straka jersey when I was about 10 years old, I remember leaving baseball practice early during the playoffs and the coach would just look at my and my dad like I was lost liking hockey and leaving baseball to watch it.
I made it to 3 games to this point in my life, all at the Igloo, and 1 game in STL to see the Pens.
Hopefully I can make it to Consol next season but I've got a big move coming up at the end of the year so I doubt I can make it but I'm going to try.
Be awesome if the Blues could make the Finals vs the Pens though, definitely would be at every game.
