Malkin's dad suggests Stars offered Geno a contract

[dash]

I think that's called tampering...

“You know, Dallas offered him a greater deal than the Pittsburgh. And he said, ‘No, I do not want to go there.’ The Stars had signed Sergei Gonchar. His best friend is out there playing. Why not agree?

“And Geno said he wasn’t torn about not going to Dallas. He didn’t want to change houses. ‘I’m used to Pittsburgh, the city and the team,’ he said.”

What does "used to Pittsburgh" mean? Has he learned to chew tobacco?

If you read up on Pittsburgh & Geno's home town of Magnitogorsk, lots of similarities between the cities. I could see why Geno feels at home here.

I get the whole Steel City of Russia parallel...but lets not kid ourselves, that's not Pittsburgh anymore. Not a little bit. The city is pretty awesome in it's own right.
