One other thing and I'm sure that the Penguins are aware of this and most of us aren't...but in the eyes of a number of retail chains, the Johnstown area is considered the territory of the Philadelphia Flyers and Flyers merchandise is sold in the stores like Penguins merchandise is sold here.

Not to pile on, but that is one of the craziest things that I have read on this board. You would have a hard time finding any pro merchandise in the stores around here that isn't black and gold. Johnstown is definitely a Pittsburgh sports town and that includes a strong support for Pitt.
 
I believe him. I was in the King of Prussia Mall just last week and it was wall-to-wall Steelers, Pirates, Penguins and Panthers gear.

I was very surprised at the sea of black and gold in a shopping mall located clear on the other side of the state. However, on my way out, I chatted up the mall security guard and he told me King of Prussia is "unequivocally a Pittsburgh territory."
