          The Pittsburgh Steelers are out in full force to support the Pittsburgh Penguins, who reached the Stanley Cup finals thanks to the Pens’ 2-1 victory Thursday over the Tampa Bay Lightning.

          Steelers coach Mike Tomlin and wide receiver Antonio Brown were among the luminaries at Game 7 of the NHL's Eastern Conference finals Thursday in Pittsburgh.

          Ben Roethlisberger even incorporated the Penguins into the celebration of the birth of his third child, a son. His name is Bodie, and Bodie apparently rocks Penguins onesies.

          The Roethlisberger family was rocking Pens gear from the hospital in the quarterback's official unveiling of the successful birth. Now that's dedication. Working hockey into the picture before the big game was a savvy move.

          The Steelers frequently celebrate their fellow hometown teams, the Pittsburgh Pirates and Penguins, with appearances and social media shoutouts. Tomlin took his kids to Game 7.

          Brown encouraged the crowd on the JumboTron at Consol Energy Center.
