from the Pittsburgh Penguins,
As a show of their appreciation for tremendous fan support, Pittsburgh Penguins players hand-delivered season tickets to 24 season ticket-holders throughout the Pittsburgh area.
Sidney Crosby poses for a picture in the kitchen of one Penguins season ticket-holder.
Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Marc-Andre Fleury, Ryan Whitney, Colby Armstrong and Maxime Talbot made the deliveries to the fans, who were selected at random.
“It was nice. It was nice to see the reaction on people’s faces,” Crosby said. “Everyone appreciated it; it was fun for me and for the rest of the guys to go and interact with people who support us so much. Some of the people have been season ticket-holders for 30 years. So, this was nice for us to do and to say thanks personally.”

Again just goes to show how humble and down to earth hockey players are compared to most professional athletes. This group of young Penguins may be the best example too.

Why can’t the Red Wings do that?

Why can’t the Red Wings do that?
Because no Red Wing in his right mind would venture out into the city without a police escort and a National Guard brigade for protection. And we all know the cops are too busy and the Guard troops are all in Iraq.
Okay, that might be a slight exaggeration, but I’m from West Michigan and it’s basically how we view Detroit.

Wow! Speaking of marketibility. That was a great move by the Pens. Teams have to remember where their support comes from.
