Apparently we have a ton of great places to eat in Pittsburgh, unfortunately my wife has Celiacs so we don't get out to most of them. Having said that, There's a place in the strip district called Gaucho that makes some unbelievably good food, and it is pretty reasonably priced; if your in Pittsburgh and have the chance, I'd suggest eating there. At least for lunch anyway, no idea what they do for dinner.

Also I'm a homer, so I think the pens are going to repeat, but Rinne is absolutely terrifying. Well that and PK skate stomping a few more penguins during the series.

E: it dawns on me, I'm probably eating jalape�o cheez-its for dinner, so my food recommendations may be suspect.

25 years ago tonight, game 1 of the '92 SCF, the Pens mounted a tremendous comeback against Chicago. From Being down 4-1 about half way through the second period to Super Mario scoring the game winner on a fantastic set play from a face off with 12 or so seconds left in regulation.

Greatest game in penguins history IMO.

It's ok they don't have any living defenseman.

Jultz and Daley are both back, so at the very least the Pens can move the puck a bit. Matta it's bit of a wildcard but will probably play good enough, and Dumpling has been pretty solid. Cole is adequate, and Hainsey will hopefully not play much? All in all, not a top tier defense, but quite possibly enough to match up with the just as broken Nashville offense.

37 minutes between shots is a winning strategy all NHL teams will now copy.

Oh fantastic. Guy Bucher is going to add this to his trap.

Hey, do yourselves a favor if you are a Pens fan. Do not YouTube PK Subban and watch all the amazing sick children surprises and just pure loving absolute classy poo poo he has done non-stop since he came into the league. Like, oh my loving god do not fall into that rabbit hole. I know he was charitable and great but god drat.

Like, Sid does some pretty great, selfless things and maybe doesn't promote it or whatever but Subban is on another level. Dude just loves people.

If I am remembering correctly, the ESPN 30 for 30 (or whatever it was) showed him pledging $10,000,000 of his wn cash to that hospital. He seems like a great dude, but he still stomped Steal; whether it was intentional or not (I doubt he meant to do what he did) I am going to harbor a little hatred for St. Subban regardless.

this pleases me. interstate catfish smuggling is a serious crime

This man now has a well earned (and expensive) nickname for life. Any new friends he might make are are going to think he was trying to date Manti T'eo though.

This whole thing is utterly amazing. I mean how can anyone be mad at this guy?

Ban him from the Arena, Give him a $200 fine for catfish buggery or whatever, and let the nashville radio station pay it. The let it drop off his record in like a year or so as long as he isn't caught smuggling catfish around the vicinity again. Why go any further than that?

I personally wouldn't mind this dude throwing catfish every game, since apparently he picks the worst times to do it. Last night it was on a penguins icing, IIRC, with Crosby on the ice.

I can also skate backwards and have even scored an actual goal in a game with NHL Alumni on the ice with me and I approve this message. I apologize for participating in Khakigate.

I also can skate backwards (or could at one point in my life anyway), and I once skated with Phil Borque back when he was a player for the pens. Ok that's probably a stretch; he was skating with some mighty might team and we were renting the ice after them to play bad scrub hockey, and he was still on the ice when we got on.

I am bad playoff poster, but I have determined that watching SAS vs baggy pants Philly guy is kinda like watching Geno vs PK.

Maybe someone'll throw 3/4ths of a primanti bros sandwich on the ice in Nashville to even the score

Eh. Nothing wrong with Primani's, nothing at all, but Let's get out of the habit of potato and cabbage based sandwiches representing Pittsburgh, and start throwing foods from other places, likeFatheads. I'm guessing that The south side slopes headwhich would travel a pretty good distance, and it's loving delicious too.

How many catfish are we gonna see on the ice tomorrow night? I'm gonna guess a dozen.

Whole catfish are selling like crazy in Nashville

I'm going to guess a total of 2 delay of game penalties worth of catfish.

Yeah but everyone (besides pens fans) already has an unreasonable hatred for that greatest of Americans, the horn guy.

Since I'm sure Sullivan is an avid reader of SAS looking for hockey mans advice, I'm just going to throw this out there...

Maybe, just maybe, it's time for Ruhwhedle to play and let Hainsey sit for a bit.
