For SIX seasons (since '09-'10) I've rocked the Penguins avatar on DU, and six seasons have ended with embarrassing flameouts in the playoffs...
This season I decide *not* to use the avatar, and the Penguins win the Stanley Cup with relative ease... Coincidence? I think not.

including what I ate for dinner (spaghetti). Needless to say, I'm a little tired of eating it!!
You won't ever be able to use that avatar again. But a DIFFERENT one, maybe.
So thrilled for the Pens and all of us lucky fans and would give anything to be at the parade tomorrow. What a special team.
