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.
