FanHouse in the Stands: Game 3


There's a scene in an old Simpsons episode (the exact episode escapes me) where Otto the bus driver is attending a concert, sitting amongst a sea of spectators who are all standing up, screaming, and enjoying themselves. Otto, annoyed by his line of vision being obstructed by his fellow concert-goers, screamed for everyone else to "sit down, sit down, you're ruining it for the rest of us."

A similar scene played out high atop section E-16 of Mellon Arena on Tuesday night, nearly leading to a fight between two women as the Pittsburgh Penguins and Detroit Red Wings frantically played the final six minutes of the third period of Game 3.

Penguins vs. Flyers: Blood on Ice


On Wednesday night, the Penguins and Flyers face off in the opening round of the Eastern Conference playoffs to battle for Keystone State supremacy. It's the fifth time the two teams have met in the postseason. The Flyers won in 1989, '97, and '00, while the Penguins took state bragging rights in the '08 Eastern Conference Finals.

The two teams have a long, and sometimes violent, history with one another, so let's take a trip down memory lane and see just how much these two franchises dislike one another.
