A question for Penguins fans?
Question:How many of you were fans of the team before they had Crosby and started winning? That's what I thought, I hate bandwagon fans.
Answers:
while i can't exactly tell you why i became a Penguin fan.
I've been one since at least 1995
-I was young.it could have been because they were winners then
BUT, i think mostly it's because i had NHL 95 for SNES and fell in love with the Lemieux, Jagr, Francis, Samulson(spelling's wrong), and i forget the other defender Line
You're very right though.i absolutely hate bandwagon hoppers
Triva-Has a playoff game ever ended in a tie?
I jumped on the bandwagon in '95 when Lemieux and Jagr were putting on a show every game. I've also sat through their past 3-4 terrible seasons.Now I'm excited as hell to have this awesome, talented young team. The Pens got great draft picks because they sucked so much in recent past. Now here's the quick payoff!
GO PENGUINS!!!
Who are the all-time and one season leaders for goal-assist combinations ?
Never liked them and still don't !!!!What are the most and least shots ever taken on goal by a team during a game?
I had a Penguins pacifier if you must know. Not every Penguin fan just showed up. And if you're wondering why I only started coming to the games regularly since Crosby... that's when I got a job that paid me enough money so that I could afford a half season ticket plan. Before that I was doing student rush since 2000. Before that, I had to rely on when my uncle wasn't able to go to a game to get a free ticket. Before that, I would fight for the remote to watch Lemieux and company. I remember the day that his jersey was first hung from the rafters. I remember even more clearly the day it was brought down. I remember the 5 goals 5 different ways. Do NOT assume that I am a bandwagon fan just because I'm new to this site.I was a fan before the coming of Lemieux. We used to sit up in the balcony seats for $7.00 a game. Through thick and thin I will always be a Penguin fan. Last year was a very trying one but this turn around was never expected. Not enough credit goes to Therrien and his staff.
Lets Go Pens!!
I was born to a hockey family, I remember parts of the Penguins second Stanley Cup when I was 5 or 6... I've had a Penguins banner on my wall since then and have gone to at least one game every year, except for this year oddly enough.
How many bandwagon fans do you think come to yahooanswers to talk about hockey? Probably not very many.

What is this blue box near the goal?
I always sat down and watched the penguins games. I went to a lot too. I have to admit though I enjoy watching them a lot more then I did when they sucked.What is this years NHL draft list?
I HAVE LOVED HOCKEY SINCE I WAS BORN CROSBY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHY I LIKE THEM AT ALL!!If your going to sharks game coming up scream hella loud?
I was going to the Civic Arena (pre naming rights) back when blue jerseys roamed the ice. You could walk up gameday and buy seats in b section twixt the blue lines.Names like Stackhouse, Kelly and Larouche were on the pond at the igloo.
I have seen hard times, pain and anguish (although nothing compared to Cubs fans).
That said; I am happy there is a team still in PGH that fans can bandwagon on. I don't care if someone started liking the team just cause they got good. More people watching hockey means more chance the sport will succeed.
Who should the Kamloops Blazers next Captian be?
I kind of think the NHL rigged the whole lottery so Pittsburgh could get Crosby to save a struggling franchise. I didn't like them 25 years ago and I don't like them now. How can you have liked a team since you were born? My earliest memories of hockey were not until I was about 5. What were you incredibaby?Obnoxious fans.
Does anyone else here think the Leafs are nuts to trade Tucker?
I was born roughly two months after their first stanley cup.I have Game 4 of their second stanley cup on DVD
I would kill for crosby's rimouski jersey
I was going to Capitals games whenever they played the penguins at the MCI center (the original name of the Verizon Center) because i live in the DC area. I would not go to any other games
I have a kids Jagr Jersey and an adult Lemiuex Jersey, but technically the lemuiex jersey isnt mine yet...
i have a jagr hockey stick
i have a penguins puck
my myspace background is of the penguins logo
do i need to say anything else?
Would the Penguins keep there name and there Logo if they leave Pittsburgh and find a new city?
agreed, i thought the same and out a similar question up yesterdaybut some people kid of changed my thoughts on the pens
its nice to see that so many new people are watching them
without these bandwagoners we wouldnt have a new arena
everyone has to start loving the pens sometime though
Although the hype will go down eventually, people will care about them less
the only type of bandwagoners i hate are
1) people who once said they hated the team but now say they love them and support them
2) bandwagoners who just started watching and liking the team but claim they have always liked them and supported them
but hey you cant blame all those drunk teenager bandwagoners who want to marry crosby
how can you not love them these days
i say if you are a true fan show it and dont worry about the bandwagon as i did once
love hockey and love the pens
Where can i find 2001 colorado avalanche game videos?
Well, I wouldn't call myself a fan persay but I've been supporting them since Staal Joined the team... I'm a Carolina Fan, and I think that it's pretty neat to see the brother of one of our players leading the NHL in shorthanded goals. And since Carolina is out, I'll be rooting for them in the playoffs.How many Sabres fans have a new heart condition after that game?
