Never Short on Creativity, Pens Fans Give Marian Hossa a Special Salute

Oh, our silly hockey loving Pittsburgh brethren. From the epic 'WWGRD?' to the Pensblog's daily shenanigans and the Flyers/Penguins statue jersey wars, they always have something creative and a little out of the ordinary up their sleeves. So naturally, when Marian Hossa defected to Detroit after losing the SCF to the Wings -- the ultimate slap in the face an athlete could give to his fans -- the folks in Pittsburgh responded in a way only that only the folks in Pittsburgh can. They set his jersey on fire and put it on YouTube for all to see. After all, nothing says 'I hate you' like a fireworks laced burning effigy. I think I can safely say that any of us would have done the same given the circumstances, if of course, we had pyromaniac tendencies.

And clearly, FanHouse recommends that you DO NOT try this at home.

The only thing you can blame Hossa for is not picking the right team last year. He would already have a cup. So now he wised up and is going to get a cup next year!! ...etch it!! ..and next time, get a
boy scout to start your next fire, unbelievable.

Chill out, all you Penguins haters. Remember the team and the fans welcomed Hossa with open arms and treated him like one of the 'Pens' family. He was glad to get out of Atlanta and play on an young 'up and coming' team. He shunned them, and the fans are frustrated. Sorry, you can't handle it.
Hoser is nothing more than a Deon Sanders,Shaq, Rodger Clements, etc. that's not good enough, (or loyal enough) to help a team win a title.
They would rather s*** on those teams and fans and ride alone with a team they feel has a lock on a title. That's the easiest way losers can become winners.
