Quote of the weekend

"We were very afraid it (the G-20) was going to put Pittsburgh in a bad light," said Gruelle. "Everybody was walking around on eggshells for the past two weeks with all the police, and protesters, and military, and this and that, and we were afraid some schmucks were going to come in and put a bad face on Pittsburgh and, well, we weren't going to let that happen. We figured the best way to do that, and the most effective way that's going to get our point across and still make people laugh, was to, you know ... well ... Let's Go Pens."
The words of Marco Gruelle, the man who organized the Let's Go Pens counter protest, in an extensive and exclusive interview to AOL's NHL Fanhouse. He provided the only worthwhile moment of this entire G20 weekend. Well, if you don't count all the hippies and various assorted douches that the cops tuned up.
