The Pittsburgh Penguins aren't the only ones happy to be back in the Stanley Cup Final. Some of their most famous fans were pumped up about it as well.

After a thrilling Game 7 victory over the Ottawa Senators in the Eastern Conference Final on Thursday that saw Chris Kunitz score the game-winner in double overtime, Penguins fans took to Twitter to celebrate.
Some of the notable tweets came from actors Russell Crowe and Joe Manganiello, both longtime Penguins fans.

Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell was on the edge of his seat and not far from his phone.

Bell's teammate Cam Heyward also joined the fray.

The tweet of the night may have gone to former National League MVP Andrew McCutchen of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The famous shop Primanti Bros. named a sandwich after Pittsburgh's HBK line last year. Could Kunitz be next in line for an honor?

How will all this star power match up with
the Nashville country music scene
? We'll find out when the Stanley Cup Final begins on Monday.
