I'm always kind to opposing teams fans when they come to Pittsburgh, and I'll be even nicer now that I don't care about the Penguins. This younger generation of Penguins fans are pretty much dicks. Well, I take that back, it's more like a fan-cell than a generation. Some people, when you see them, you just know they are dicks, and it's very predictable when I see them dump a beer on somebody's head or making sure that the fight they start is being video recorder by his girl.
I'd say that 60% of Pens fans don't really care what jersey you wear or who you're rooting for as long as you don't continuously bother people by acting the fool. Another 30% will give you a look or make a snide remark (usually good natured) and will be sure to let you know what the score is when they are leading. And then there's the 10% dicks, probably closer to 3% but be warned. The Sabres don't really register on the rivalry radar. There were some epic playoff series in the past, but NOTHING like Philly or Washington. Those are THE most hated around here.
I think Toronto fans were REALLY starting to wear out their welcome, Caps fans are getting pretty obnoxious too but unlike the Leafs fans they don't show up in big numbers. As for the Flyers, well shit. I've been goign to Penguin games for decades and I do not recall EVER...not one time seeing a Flyers jersey in the Mellon Arena. I'm sure there have been plenty, I just know that I've never seen one.
funny story
my friend got playoff tickets year pens won the cup recently
he accidentally wore an orange hoody to the game, and he a lot of shit for it
MOst likely because its the fact I am who I am, but ive been getting shit for years about the sabres
then again, I am the person who wore a habs jersey to school the day after they knocked out th pens this year

I have a sort of blue colored Timberland jacket that I wore once to a Steeler game when the Panthers were in town, it was pretty close to the blue in their uniforms. I didn't get a lot of grief for it until some guy walked up to our seats with two full beers, one for me and one for my girlfriend. But he wasn't giving them to us to drink, he was gonna dump them on us! Luckily he noticed my Big Ben jersey underneath before following through!.
