Celebrating the Stanley Cup on the South Side

One of the things that I have had the hardest time trying to explain to non-sports fans is what it is like to watch sports in Pittsburgh.  Even if you aren’t a sports fan – the sense of community that forms around watching football and hockey playoffs is unique.  Pittsburgh based filmmaker Chris Ivey had his camera out to capture the Penguins Stanley Cup win – the first 45 seconds does a great job of showing what it is like to watch the game with a bar full of fans.  Chris has put together some great footage of the post win celebrations too.  Check out Chris Ivey’s documentary on East Liberty – East of Liberty.
