City of Champions, Part Deux

Posted Fri, 06/12/2009 - 09:24 by Fury

Lord Stanley is coming back to Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh is the City of Champions for the second time:

#1 was 1979 with the Steelers and Pirates winning Championships and # 2 is tonight:  Steelers and the Penguins.

Pittsburgh is the first team in the MLB, NHL or NBA team to win Game 7 on road since the Pirates defeated Baltimore in 1979.
