PITTSBURGH – They started setting up lawn chairs outside Consol Energy Center just after daybreak. By the time the Pittsburgh Penguins arrived for a game 49 years in the making, the streets around the building were completely flooded with fans.
“I couldn’t even get to the rink,” said defenceman Olli Maatta. “It was busy.”
“There was a lot of people outside,” added teammate Bryan Rust. “Traffic was terrible.”
