So since the Penguins joined the league, the Red Wings have won 4, the Pens 3. The Steelers will also be number 1, but I think the Pens are 1A.

They may not be "Hockeytown" but they have a very large and loyal following of fans who do not just support them when they play at home but also when they play on the road. No one will ever argue that the Steelers are #1, they have been in the past, are now in the present, and will always be the most important sports franchise in that city. But, that has nothing to do with Pittsburgh being a hockey town as well. The city and surrounding metropolitan area are large enough to support both teams. Pittsburgh is definitely a hockey town.

That didn't just happen overnight with Detroit. There is an 80 year history there where Detroit winning 11 Stanley Cups. Pittsburgh has won 3. While I do think the Pens currently have the stars that could help make up a little bit of ground, Pittsburgh is and always will be a football town first. The Steelers rule the NFL with six championships and they rule Pittsburgh. Period. Dude, it takes more than winning a cup to become a hockey town. That didn’t just happen overnight with Detroit.
