The Pittsburgh Penguins face elimination by the Washington Capitals at home Monday night, but their friends the Pittsburgh Steelers are there to lend their support.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, may be known as the City of Brotherly Love, but that concept is also alive and well in nearby Pittsburgh Monday night as the Pittsburgh Steelers showed up to support their friends the Penguins in an elimination Game 6 against the Washington Capitals.

There they were, the Steelers, gathered together in a box surely designed to fit much smaller humans and much, uh, calmer dance moves than the ones JuJu Smith-Schuster was throwing down:

Smith-Schuster likes to bring the party — you know because his Twitter bio says “It’s Lit” — and he was certainly getting his Steelers teammates in the mood:

The revelry carried on throughout the game, as left tackle Alejandro Villanueva was spotted participating in his own private wet T-shirt contest — actually, sans shirt:

Coach Mike Tomlin was there, too, sitting at the glass in the first period:

Tomlin, of course, needed to be near the action so he could accidentally stick a foot out in front of Alex Ovechkin on a breakway. (Kidding. Kind of.)

QB1 Ben Roethlisberger was in the building, as well, cheering on the Pens. His newly drafted backup, Mason Rudolph, was nowhere to be found, though:

We’ll find out after the game’s conclusion what the Penguins players thought of the wild, but heartfelt, show of support from their crosstown brethren, but it was clear that, if nothing else, the Steelers were getting the crowd fired up.

And in a home elimination game, that’s all you could really ask for.
