As you may have noticed, our new blogging network shares a likeness with one of the thirty teams within the National Hockey League. And what's more, said team just happened to be the reigning Stanley Cup champions and the current employer of Hockey Jesus. Does switching over to Bloguin make us a Pittsburgh Penguin blog? No, no it does not. But for those of you who remain unconvinced, we'd like to take this opportunity to eradicate any notions of favortism.
MYFO promises to make fun of the Penguins just as much - if not more - than any of their 29 rival franchises. You can take that promise to the bank.
(Please do not take this literally. You wouldn't believe how often we've disrupted the daily operations of the Financial Community just because we like to use cliches in our writing.)
After the jump, we show the world just how not a Pittsburgh Penguin blog we are.
21 Things About the Pittsburgh Penguins
That's right. We're unearthing a year old Facebook meme to give you everything our MYFO sources have unearthed about the current collection of players that wear the gold and black of Steel City. (Note: only 3 of these are true. Try and guess which ones in the comments.)
1. For the first 19 years of his life, Pascal Dupuis pronounced the word "dufus" as "doo-fwee."

3. If Michael Rupp scores 10 goals in a season, his spleen implodes.

6. Jordan Staal's favorite of his brothers is the one his parents banished overseas to play for Team Iceland in the Junior Goodwill Games.
7. Alex Goligoski insisted on being a defenseman all through juniors; his best friend, Cam Forwardsburg, was a good boy and played the position his family has played for centuries.

12. The change was made because Marc-Andrew Fleury had tickets to a midnight showing of Twilight: New Moon on Opening Night.

15. Matt Cooke is referred to as gritty so frequently by the press that he decided to use the word for his son's name.
16. After this season, Max Talbot looks to launch his new clothing line, "Douches Wild."
