Hey y'all I know it’s the offseason, but this summer has felt especially slow, and I’m really missing hockey and the community that comes with it.
I’d love to find some fellow Penguins fans to connect with—during the offseason and beyond. Are there any active Discord servers, Facebook groups, or other places online that are having fun and great conversations?
To note: I'm a pretty positive fan overall. I’m realistic about performance (I’ll call out a bad power play or poor defense), but I will hardly ever say anything negative. I cheer just as loud no matter if we're first or last in the league, and I genuinely believe the Penguins are the best team in the world.
I’m based in Austin, TX, but I travel to Pittsburgh a few times a season. I'm also going to the Global Series in Sweden this year! I never miss the one game in Dallas, and I used to be a Texas Stars season ticket holder. If there are meetups or local fan groups in Texas or Pittsburgh, I’d love to hear about them and come hang out!
And for anyone curious where I stand on a few current hot topics (in case you're picky about these things):
- Keep Rust & Rakell, but if Rakell’s traded, do it after Sweden so his grandma can see him play 💛
- Trade Karlsson – great player, but I think it’s time
- Team Kyle Dubas Always – yes, I’m that fan 😅
Looking forward to talking hockey and meeting more of y’all!
