STEUBENVILLE, Ohio -- NEWS9 caught up with local fans as they cheered the Pittsburgh Penguins one step closer to the Stanley Cup.

Fans packed into Damons in Steubenville Sunday night to catch the Pens in playoff action against the Philadelphia Flyers.

"Well we decided this evening that this was the best option – to come get something to eat and watch the game," said Ryan Rokisky of Weirton.

For others – going to places like Damons was one of the only options if they wanted to see the game at all.

"I don't get [the channel] at my house," said one Penguins fan.

Within minutes on the ice, the Pens gave fans something to get excited about.

"We got off to a good start with a goal here in the first couple minutes. We'll get another one quick and finish it," said Rokisky.

There were no Flyers fans in sight, but there was some trash talking.

"They're just the trash from the other side of the state really," said Rokisky.

Many fans predicted that the Pens will go all the way to the Stanley Cup finals and win.
