PENS WIN! PENS WIN! THE STANLEY CUP NOW LIVES IN PITTSBURGH!

A eulogy:

Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen,

We are all gathered here today to pay our last respects to our fallen friends, the Detroit Red Wings. After a painful and protracted fight with Wild Penguins, they succumbed to their own inadequacies. To those of you who knew them well, you also had to suffer through their chronic complaints, whining, smelly under-protective garments, and the hockey-man overbite during television interviews. The sweat, the toil, and the underachieving were all for not.

But, fear not my friends, the few surviving members of this vanquished team has a new book in the works! “1001 excuses for not winning

We, as did the whole Penguin team will toast the departed by drinking champagne out of Our Stanley Cup! Rest well old friends, and may you Rest in Peace…

Sports Update:

Against all odds the Pittsburgh Penguins pulled off the big upset by vanquishing the Detroit Red Wings in game 7! This thriller to the end with the Penguins fighting like their life depended on it, ended with a 2 to 1 score… Yes, our Pens are now the Champs; the Stanley Cup lives in your town!

Tomorrow there will be a huge parade downtown with the Penguins accompanying the Stanley Cup through town. The route will be the same as the Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl win parade!

Yea, our town has won its name back:

PITTSBURGH IS AGAIN “THE CITY OF CHAMPIONS!”

In 3 out of the last 4 years we have won a major sports Championship!

In Indiana Pennsylvania at the Jimmy Steward Airport was their small-town air show, and how big it was! Three of my favorite World War Two aircraft were there; the British Spitfire; the P-51 Mustang; and the F4U Corsair!
