Possibly the greatest concession item at Consol Energy Center. Classic nachos piled high with nacho cheese, sour cream, jalapenos, and of course pulled pork from the Smokehouse.
Really looking forward to eating these at Penguins home games this year. Haven't had them since Game 2 against the Flyers.
In case you hadn't noticed Notre Dame got stomped in the BCS National Championship game by Alabama 42-14. There isn't anything better than some great Notre Dame stunned pics. Enjoy.
Pics via various people on twitter.
But the player of the game had to be AJ McCarron's girlfriend
In the words of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson "FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINALLY"
THE NHL LOCKOUT IS OVER!
The NHL and NHLPA reached a tentative agreement on a new 10 year CBA deal early this morning. Negotiations started early Saturday and lasted well in the the morning hours of Sunday. We don't really know any details yet but the most important thing is that this is a 10 year deal and the sport that we all love is finally back. The season is most likely going to start in January 19th with a game against the Flyers and training camp will most likely start this week. Buckle up.
The only thing that can kill your excitement today is looking at the Pens roster. Mainly the defense. Oh and the fact that TK is probably going to be on Sid's line this year. And Paul Martin is still on the team. Those amnesty buyouts sure look nice right about now. Whatever. Hockey is back and it looks like from what we saw on Twitter yesterday we will have a 50 or 52 game season. If you actually want to know details of this crap go creep Bob McKenzie's twitter.
If you are looking for someone to thank for this lockout ending this is your guy. Scot Beckenbaugh was the federal mediator that met with the NHL and NHLPA to help get this deal done. Dude just looks like a winner. He should also get free beer in ever NHL city for the rest of his life.
Wonder what the NHL is gonna paint inside the blue lines this time. Some ideas we got from twitter:
The Islanders should just paint Yashin's cap number between the blue lines. - @chasingth3light
The Penguins and Sabres played in the first Winter Classic at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Buffalo, New York. Huge moment for the NHL. Luckily Youtube comes through with the entire game.
Something to do during the lockout. Apparently the NHL and NHLPA are meeting at 6:30 tonight.
So we are bored and there isn't any hockey in the near future so we wanted to remind you what you're missing because of the lockout. Some of these are serious, some are just being complete trolls. This is where we are right now. A list of stuff we are missing because of the lockout.
Fleury giving up a softy 12 seconds into the game.
Paul Martin's horrid defense.
Some let down game against the Islanders.
Getting trapped to death by the Devils 6 times.
Giving up some 3 goal lead in the 3rd period.
Montreal booing an icing.
Toronto thinking they'll actually make the playoffs.
Rick DiPietro getting hurt.
Crosby sucks.
OCDB getting out coached over and over.
Puck bunnies. (THANK GOD)
The Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo
People dry humping the air to get on the big screen at Consol.
Pierre gargling Mike Richards balls.
Everyone gargling the Rangers balls.
Doc Emerick yelling "WITH A DRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE"
Brian Burke making some awful trade.
A dumb Brendan Shanahan suspension video.
Steigy's Hobey Baker "jokes".
Bob Errey drunk.
Ryan Mill.
Malkin interviews.
TK peppering the glass and the goalies chest.
We probably missed some. 7 people are probably gonna read this post. Quite frankly this was a post for the sake of making a post. And we are really really bored. So yeah. If you are one of the like 7 people that actually make it this far and you have something else to add to this list that isn't "Crosby owning the league" or "Malkin running train on some team" then leave a comment or something. AND enjoy this video.
Go Pens and end the lockout and all that jazz and what not.
