I think the Pens will be fine without Hossa, I just want an answer to my question from page 1. How can you bash Wings fans, when 3 years ago you could not pay people to go to the Igloo? Every team has down cycles but their fans do not jump ship. Pens fans are fair weather all the way. Stick to topic and respond to the question

Can Detroit sell out some games? I don't think it was Detroit who almost left their city because the fans wouldn't show up to support them. The Pens couldn't get anyone for years up until they got good again. Quick lesson for all of you Pens fans, you are not good fans just because you show up when your team is on top.

I'm ok with guys diving if they can get away with it. If the refs are not going to call an unsportsmanlike for diving (which they rarely do) why not try? Just don't get all pissy and act like Sid doesn't do it, when it is obvious that he does.

sdvdk5- I'm not putting Mario down as a player, other than Gretzky, there is no other player I would rather have had on my Leafs but facts are facts he was a major diver. Why do all Pens have such thin skin?

#2YanksFan- Mario never dove, are you freaking kidding me? He was the most notorious diver when he played. Check youtube for some clips of him lifting oppenents sticks in order to draw high sticking penalties.
