NBC has exclusive rights to broadcast the games in the U.S. They pulled the plug on the big screen viewing party outside mellon arena in pittsburgh, and in detroit. Its been a big deal among the fanbases.Jim Price wrote:I'm not sure how that arrangement works with NBC, but Galactic Ice wasn't charging admission this year (unlike last year). You could just bring a lawn chair in and sit to watch the game on the widescreen. There was some food and soft drinks on sale, but folks had the option of bringing their own stuff if they wanted. They were also selling 50-50 tickets for the local youth ice hockey organization.
It sucks that NBC is pulling this crap,it's been a huge boost over here for the fanbase.MeYatch wrote:NBC has exclusive rights to broadcast the games in the U.S. They pulled the plug on the big screen viewing party outside mellon arena in pittsburgh, and in detroit.

You are confusing Pittsburgh with Philly there ... Either way, friday is number seven and friday is the when the Pens will get the cup ...metal_junky wrote:f.sciarrillo wrote:^^ Pens deserved to lose last night. That was ridiculous. I still think it will go to seven and the pens will win .. This is there year ..
Every team that Pittburgh has deserves to lose .... Hahahahahah!
We do not hate the Pens, we are just fans of another team besides the state we live in. I happened to have lived near Detroit for almost 10 years. It seems acceptable that others can like other football or baseball teams, but I have never been treated so poorly by fans like the Pens fans. I am almost 5' 1" and have been mocked and sworn at while wearing my Wings jersey...I know, I know, what do I expect when I live in Pennsylvania...but for pity sake, it's only a game and life will go on for me as well as any other normal fan on Saturday. If the Pens can beat the Wings on home ice, then they deserve to win...Just my .02 here so when the Pens win I can come in and say I told you so to Jared, 'toona and everyone else who support the Wings or hate the Pens. To each their own but stupid is as stupid does..........
I couldn't agree more, LDG. I grew up in Ann Arbor, and have been a Red Wings/Tigers/Michigan Wolverine fan all my life. I have become a die-hard Steelers fan, and root for the Pens (when they are not playing the Red Wings), and also Penn State (when they are not playing Michigan.). Heck, I took so much grief this year when Michigan finally got their long-awaited asswhooping at the hands of the Nittany Lions, LOL. But I took it all in stride, since it was 10 years in the making.Little Devil Girl wrote:Marshall Blue wrote:We do not hate the Pens, we are just fans of another team besides the state we live in.
