Apparently, bad blood is a-brewing between Pennsylvania's two biggest cities - all because they meet each other in the Stanley Cup playoffs, starting Friday night.A nefarious plot seems to have hatched by Pittsburgh fans to besmirch one of our fair city's most famous symbols. The outrageous objective: Put a Penguins jersey on the Rocky statue!
Problem is: The attack may have already happened overnight - just as a similar outrage was apparently committed by Montreal Canadien fans during the previous hockey series.
The evidence: On the pavement in front of the bronze Italian Stallion lay a black No. 87 Sidney Crosby jersey around 9:30 this morning. The sleeves appeared to have been cut off, perhaps to facilitate draping it over Rocky.
A message posted on Craigslist on Monday night reads:
Need to recruit someone who is a Pittsburgh native, living in Philly. I want you to put a Penguins jersey on the Rocky statue and take pictures. I am going to send it in to the Post-Gazette and other media outlets to show some pride. If you are interested please reply to this ad ASAP.
