I must give credit when credit is due. It appears Pittsburghians aren't total assholes and are in fact fellow true patriots.  Detroit4lyfe’s goal is to keep you abreast of all the happenings in the sports world, particularly Detroit because we tend to be sports xenophobes. But we’re not always discussing Detroit, so if you’re a true sports fan you should make Detroit4lyfe.com a part of your daily internet routine.
Via the Freep:
Buffalo Sabres goaltender Ryan Miller (Michigan State) received a standing ovation in Pittsburgh tonight for leading the United States to an Olympic silver medal — cheers louder than those given the Penguins’ own Sidney Crosby.
Or maybe they were cheering Miller for the Hat Trick he allowed to Crosby back on February 1 in a 5-4 Penguins win?
Nope. They're not great big douchers.
Via SportsNet:
Some Penguins fans admittedly were conflicted, enthused by the United States' successful tournament -- the Americans were unbeaten before losing to Canada -- but too loyal to Crosby to boo the player who led Pittsburgh to the Stanley Cup last spring. {...}
[...] There was a mixed reaction when a replay of Crosby's game-winning goal was shown on the Mellon Arena scoreboard, with some cheering but also audible booing. Later in the game, when the replay was shown again during a break in play, there were noticeably more boos than cheers.
Good for Pittsburgh.
... Now back to hating them/being bitter about last year's Cup again.
