TWO MORE MINUTES


for too many morons over the ice.

Just in time for the first intermission (Devils 1, Pens 0) comes an email from a regular reader and former commenter -- we'll call her The Artist Formerly Known as Legally Vexed -- who offers up a pitch-perfect solution for thinning out the egregiously uninformed herds of Penguin Nation I lamented yesterday afternoon:

To lessen the bandwagon's load, maybe they can do a quiz at the Igloo door:

"What position did Drake Berehowsky play?"

"Spell 'Staal.'"

"Who scored prolifically against the Devils but not against anyone else?"

"Which Primeau was a Pen?"

People who show up in Steeler gear would be denied entry automatically.

I think she's on to something here, people. If we add "When a skater precedes the puck into the zone, is it called offside or offsides?" and "Who scored the game winner in the 4th overtime against the Caps in '96?" and then eject anyone who gets up and dances to "Cotton Eye Joe" during the tv timeouts, we're sure to have an arena filled with nothing but real, live, well-informed Pens fans.

Game on, indeed.
