Stanley Cup Playoffs: Where Will Yinz Watch the Games?
The Penguins take on the Tampa Bay Lightning at 7 tonight.
It's the most wonderful time of the year: for hockey fans anyway.
Still, aren't we all hockey fans this time of the year?

Some of you might even be lucky enough to have scored tickets at the CONSOL Energy Center for the Penguins playoffs games in that building, including tonight's big match-up. For those of who you didn't, we still want to know where you'll be, and we want you to send us your photos, which we'll publish on the Patch site.
The Penguins will be broadcasting at least their first-round playoffs games this year against the Tampa Bay Lightning on a big screen in the Civic Arena south parking lot across the street from CONSOL. Typically, the screen gets a larger crowd during away games.

The Penguins-Lightning series, as all Stanley Cup playoffs pairings, is a best-of-seven contest. The Penguins are hosts for the first two games, and the Lightning get the next two. Should more than four games be required, the series would then be split between Pittsburgh and Tampa Bay until one team wins a fourth game.
So tell us. Where are yinz watching these games?:
