GDT: Final Preseason Game: Pens vs the Bluejackets - Are we there yet?

[The Old Master]

The guy seems to get under people's skin.

too much vanishing cream

 

[Zirakzigil]

How's Friedman looked?

 

[Peat]

The good news is we look competitive for a team missing 26m worth of forward and 5 dmen, minus a few patchy moments

The bad news is we're not good enough to have a few patchy moments, and looking competitive against CBJ probably doesn't mean much vs us getting points in Florida.

i did like the aggressive forecheck for the 5 minuets we used it.

I really think they have only one task tonight: not to get hurt, Kappy is not even pretending neither is Rust

Sure but they need to make sure they are ready for Tuesday. Tampa and Florida are playing like its the season already. Tampa is gonna smoke us Tuesday after their game tonight.

Expert of Mexican food in Pittsburgh is like being the king of shit in hell.

 

[Gurglesons]

Dumo hurt?

 

[Randy Butternubs]

So first off, the Penguins look like ass this game.

The Las Palmas taco truck(s) are excellent and has had an appropriate number of health code violations. Exactly what you want in a restaurant like that.

We just got a Condado at the mall but I'm not going to get blitzed on Margaritas in a mall when I have to drive home sooooo

Totopo is just Mad Mex ++. But at times that is exactly what you're looking for. I think as far as Tex Mex goes it's as good as it gets around here.

Alquisiras Paleteria has delicious desserts including some sort of Horchata type creations that are outstanding. I haven't been in wayyyyyy too long.


How bout in your area?

So I've been to Las Palmas and think it's damn near the best on taste. But not so good on the cleanliness as I've had hairs in my food...

Condado is fancy Taco Bell, but I love it. There's one downtown and in Lawrenceville.

Totopo has a sister restaurant in Shadyside about a block or two from where my girlfriend lived. It's called Tocayo and it's great. Probably the best queso fundido I've ever had.

Baby Loves Tacos is a terrible name but I like them. They're somewhere between Condado and Las Palmas on the "authentic" meter. Same with Doce in the South Side but I don't frequent them too often.

There's a truck in the Strip that may be better than Las Palmas, but it's hard to gauge without have a side by side comparison. But that's Edgar's Best Tacos.

I've only been once to this place near Children's Hospital called Los Cabos and my burrito was large, tasty, and cheap. It's BYOB and I was there when some frat was there with a few cases of Natty Lite. They offered me one and of course I took it. I need to go back for the food though.

There's two places on my list I've not been to yet but really need to check out. One is in Garfield/Bloomfield on Penn called Taquitos. And the other is in Bloomfield/Lawrenceville on Main called El Sabor.

Once @Gurglesons reads this he'll let us know that PGH has no good tacos or Mexican food in general.

edit: I see he's already commented

Dumo hurt?

He was hurt on that last play by the wall, got hit with the puck I think

Yeah, sorry guys. It'd be like if I was telling you I had "the best" pizza in Socal.

There is pizza here. But uh.

I think Bean is gona end up being a great trade for CBUS

 

[Gurglesons]

Pretty cool to see the Jackets broadcast using NST data.

I'll have to try some of these on the days I go into the office. El Sabor in particular looks good and convenient.

Gurgie hates Pittsburgh and its people, but he likes the hockey team. I wouldn't expect him to like the Mexican food. But where he's from they put fries on burritos soooooooo

 

[Gurglesons]

I mean, you can only know it if you taste it. Kinda like PIT Mexican food.

I'm from PA

I'm a vegetarian so I'm never getting Carne Asada burritos.

Like I said before: I know there's better places for Mexican food given PGH's background of Eastern Europeans, current source of immigrants, and distance from the border. My friend's girlfriend is Mexican and I love hearing her go off on Pittsburgh's lack of ... non-white food.

Jackfruit tacos and potato tacos

 

[Andy99]

The aggressive forecheck is only going to last a period in the regular season too…the Pens are not gonna be hard to play against every period for 82 games…we’ve seen that puppy way too often..and Sully system requires the centers to do a lot of skating and our centers are older than Rip Van Winkle…

 

[Gurglesons]

Every single goal tonight has been Jarry falling forward missing a glove save.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Oh ffs. Sound not synced to the video.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

JR's guy.

Domi seems overrated to me but that was a heck of a shot.
