Mass of Penguins fans gather to watch Game 5 outdoors

Hockey Night in Canada kicks off with City and Colour as the Penguins look for a Stanley Cup victory.

The Pittsburgh Penguins fans who couldn’t afford thousands of dollars to see Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final from inside the arena found a way to enjoy the game and the weather.

Pens fans marched upon Consol Energy Center Thursday night for an outdoor viewing party and to potentially see their team win the Cup at home against the San Jose Sharks. The visuals are stunning.
