But the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers have taken the idea of an intra-state competition to a whole new level. It’s now about who can do less.
I was in fifth grade when I moved to the other side of the state, taking with me my black-and-gold fandom and a ruthless disdain for all things that started with a “ph” sound. Needless to say, it didn’t last long, and even though the Bucs and Pens always remained my favorite, I developed a fondness for the Philly teams, which were almost always better, and, for the most part, avoided conflicts of interest in my sports watching.
Then I came back to Pittsburgh and the inner turmoil that had long been fermenting refined itself into a full-bodied, completely internal rivalry.
Every year, I watch both cities’ teams, trying to see if one will outdo the other in play, in sportsmanship, in stupid fan incidents
