Oh how the stars have aligned..
Oh, what a terrible position we, the die-hard Pittsburgh Penguins fans are in. We find ourselves in a position of who do I personally hate more. Specifically, I am talking about the Stanley Cup Finals between the Chicago Blackhawks, and the Philadelphia Flyers.
Rule number one of being a Penguins fan, you must hate with every fiber of your being the Philadelphia Flyers, and let me just say the Flyers do not make it hard for us to do that. I mean biting, Hartnell? Really? But anyway, the Flyers have made it to the Stanley Cup finals, how they made it I don’t know, but they did, and I must not root for them. But..
Rule number one of being a Pittsburgher, is if someone talks shit on the Burgh, or slights the Burgh, you must hate them for ever and ever and ever, and I mean really hate. Hate like really having to think about hitting the brakes if you are barreling down the road and Sienna Miller is standing in your path.
So you hate the Flyers as a team, not necessarily hating any one member of the team (although,..Hartnell) and not wishing particular harm on them, but as a whole.. hate them. Persons who have wronged THE BURGH, real personalized hate, got it?
Okay, so here is the problem. While I have no hatred for the Chicago Blackhawks, and actually love the city of Chicago, they have one person on their team that makes it IMPOSSIBLE for me to root for them, MARIAN HOSSA. As we all know Marian Hossa has personally wronged, and talked shit on the Burgh, and this is of course completely unforgivable. So now I find myself in a quandary, I have to root for one, so whom shall it be? How can I justify as a Pittsburgher, and a Penguins fan rooting for either of these teams? And why must the universe put me in such a position?
Well, I feel like some one who has personally wronged the Burgh trumps a team rivalry, so I have opted to root for the Philadelphia Flyers. With the understanding that I want Marian Hossa destroyed personally. So far Hossa has pulled the following shit: 2 years ago, he played with the Penguins to win a cup, they didn’t win, so he went to Detroit to play with the Red Wings to win the cup. Last year the Penguins won the cup, so Hossa did not win a cup with Detroit, so in order to try to win the cup this year he has gone to Chicago to play with the Blackhawks. If he doesn’t win with them this year, I am hoping he will become a curse. So please Philly, I never ask you for anything, please destroy this douche bag fool, and make him a curse. That would make me so happy that I feel like we could be friends for a minute, probably during the off-season.
Let me tell you another person who is walking down the path to eternal hatred by all Pittsburghers, Ben Roethlisberger. He’s definitely got a front row ticket on my bus to the sun, but that’s a whole different story. We’ll crack that open in another post.
So, even though it pains me to my soul to say it,
Go Flyers! Beat Hossa!
Introduction to The Burgh Bitch
Hello,
First I feel compelled to tell you a few truths about me, so that we can all understand where I am coming from. Number one, I am one opinionated bitch, that being said I am by no means one of those people that have an opinion and in no way can discuss something that conflicts with their own opinion, or someone who can not see both sides of the story. I can, and will make every effort to see the other side of the story in every case.
Number 2, I AM A PITTSBURGHER, and that through and through. I believe in Pittsburghese, I believe in Parking Chairs, and I believe that Pittsburgh is a great town.
Next, I’ll talk about anything with anyone, I feel like you will notice that as a theme on this blog, it’s all open for discussion.
Lastly, Lets Go Pens! 
BB
