From Pittsburgh Magazine:
Q: How about those Pens?
When I was watching the final Stanley Cup game, my heart was pounding - with 15 minutes in the game and we’re up by two. That’s too much time! Hockey is the greatest spectator sport ever. It’s nonstop action. In the last minutes, holding my son in front of the TV, I said, “Son, you’re going to watch history right now.” I was so nervous. It was crazy! I can honestly tell you I was more nervous in those final moments than I was sitting on the sidelines in Tampa. Sid and Evgeni - they’re so young, it’s like having LeBron [James] and Kobe [Bryant] in Pittsburgh - then to see them win it! That’s why Pittsburghers are so passionate about sports. We have these teams that do well. Back in the day, there were always championships that came through this city, even with the Buccos. Now, hopefully, that tradition will start up again - especially now that my son is a true Pittsburgher.
