XxGoWingsxX 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2008 I saw on the news this morning that the Mayor of Pitsburgh, is proposing a bet with Detroit, that IF the PENS win the cup, he want's to brand PIT "HockeyTown" from now on and Detroit is no longer allowed to brand itself that. He hasn't said what he wagers yet...but i say WINGS IN 5 TAKE THAT DAMN BET! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XxGoWingsxX 0 Report post Posted May 24, 2008 Hockeytown is owned by Illitch. Pittsburgh's mayor can wish whatever he watnts..too bad The Illitch family actually owns the "Hockeytown" Brand/name/whatever u call it? I was actually unaware of that...thanks for takin me to school reds4life lol I think Illitch should step up and put it on the line...and say that if the mayor of PIT is that cocky, if he wants to own the hockeytown name, he needs to put up somethin BIG...like ownership of the pens lol..or that if ..WHEN the wings win....PIT has to tear up crosby's contract and let him be a free agent...wow that'd create a riot in the offseason...OR, WHEN THEWINGS WIN....the entire penguins team has to come to the parade in detroit wearing dresses or stand on a float in the parade shaped like a giant crib with pacifiers in their mouths. I bet PIT mayor wouldn't be so damn sure of his team when their public humiliation was on the line.... Wait...the finals WILL BE public humiliation for pitsburgh lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted May 24, 2008 I have a better idea. We'll bet Hockeytown, and if we win, they give us Malkin and pay his salary. Or they have to restrict Crosby from the media for the rest of his career. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
