Penguins fans ****** up Stanley Cup Finals tix in Detroit

By Greg Wyshynski

When tickets to a Stanley Cup Playoff series that may involve their team go on sale, Pittsburgh Penguins fans are going to know about it. Please recall the 2000 postseason, when the threat of a Pens fan invasion in D.C. forced Washington owner Ted Leonsis to implement a plan that prevented them from purchasing tickets online for Capitals' playoff home games.

On Wednesday, the Detroit Red Wings began a presale for Stanley Cup Finals tickets that required a special code. And guess who just happened to discover that code: The good folks of the LetsGoPens.com boards, who began crowing about the quality tickets they were scoring for Finals games in Detroit. Well, at least with all of these Penguins fans filling seats at the Joe, Mitch Albom won't have anything to complain about.

While a Detroit/Pittsburgh Stanley Cup Final still seems like a foregone conclusion at this point -- The "Every 33 Years" Campaign be damned -- there's someone seemingly determined to jinx the hell out of both of them. Shop.com already screwed the Penguins in Game 4 by releasing Eastern Conference Champions hats before what could have been the clincher in Philly. Well, the Web site was selling a full wardrobe of conference championship gear for the Pens and the Red Wings as of Friday night. Even up 3-1, you do not want to anger the Hockey Gods. No sir, you sure don't.

I wish they would have prevented the Red Sox fans from overtaking Coors Field during last year's World Series.... damn red sox fans.... I couldn't even get tickets being a Rockies fan living in Denver because people from Boston could fly here, see the game and stay the night for less money than buying a ticket to the game in Boston. It was pathetic.
