Stanley Cup Playoffs: Where Will Yinz Watch the Games?

"It's the most ... wonderful time ... of the year." For hockey fans, anyway.

Still, aren't we all hockey fans this time of the year?

Sewickley Patch wants to know where you'll be watching Penguinsplayoffs games, especially if you're going to a local establishment or to a house party in the Sewickley area.

Some of you may be lucky enough to have scored tickets at the Consol Energy Center for the Pens' first two playoffs games today and Friday, but for those of you who didn't, where are you watching those games?

The Penguins will be broadcasting at least their first-round playoffs games this year against the Tampa Bay Lightning on a big screen in the Civic Arena south parking lot across the street from the Consol arena.  The screen usually draws a larger crowd during away games.

The Penguins-Lightning series, like all Stanley Cup playoffs pairings, is a best-of-seven contest. The Pens host the first two games, and the Lightning get the next two. Should more than four games be required, the series would then jump back-and-forth between Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay until one team wins a fourth game.

So tell us. Where are yinz watching these games?!
