Yeah, crowd wise Anaheim's always been pretty meh in the playoffs. With Pittsburgh, I just can't stand how much their fans seem to appreciate weak, skilled hockey.
I know every teams fans boo and get into a frenzy when they think the refs miss a call, but it is so insane in Pittsburgh, they go crazy every time a Pens player gets hit, not matter how routine the hit is, thinking it should be a penalty.
They also don't cheer as loud as most other teams when Pens players throw big hits. It's like their fans have been so used to winning purely on skill that just have no appreciation for physical playoff hockey.
