Screw Cindy Crosby and the Pens. Not a fan of San Jose either but lesser of 2 evils I guess so sort of Go Sharks but not really. Can no one win?

Joe.
But Hagelin fans may be interested to know that his 3rd line has become so popular that a Pittsburgh eatery named a sandwich after them.
Ham, Bacon & Kielbasa. And white bread. (Apparently that's the eatery's tradition, not a statement on the line's make-up.) For those in Pittsburgh with a note from your doctor, here's the article.
I assume it's the same place that has the Rothlesburger.
Article says it's been "a sandwich mainstay in Pittsburgh since 1933."
[But maybe not. Research says they're known for their "Italian-bread meat sandwich stuffed with slaw, tomatoes, and fries." Could be at a sports bar that's more known for burgers. Maybe a Pittsburghian knows.]
The photo itself requires a double dose of Lipitor.
"Thoroughly average food, IMO."
It really depends an awful lot on what you get and if your menu selection on your first visit is the right match. If it is then it's pretty much one of the greatest food experiences ever. If it's not then the review ends up as "thoroughly average food".
I understand that everyone's tastes differ. I've been to Primanti's probably a dozen times in the six years or so that I've lived in Pittsburgh and the only meal I've had there where I was like "Wow, that was good!" was the one I had today. I went to try the HBK Sandwich mentioned above and it was very tasty.
The other times I've had their sandwiches and their pizza but none of them were any better than average and some were sub-standard.
I suppose it's always possible that it's just the particular restaurant that's bad and not the food... but I've talked to quite a few native Pittsburghers who are just as underwhelmed as I am.
I'm a Michigan fan in Pittsburgh and for the life of me, I can't understand how Primanti's Bros became the food of Pittsburgh. It's some meat, fries and coleslaw inside of two crappy white pieces of bread. They are often popular after a night of drinking and the combo of bread, fries and grease helps to sober you up. Apparently they opened two in Michigan http://www.mlive.com/business/detroit/index.ssf/2016/04/popular_pittsburgh_eatery_prim.html
This:
"They are often popular after a night of drinking and the combo of bread, fries and grease helps to sober you up."
Answers this:
"I'm a Michigan fan in Pittsburgh and for the life of me, I can't understand how Primanti's Bros became the food of Pittsburgh."
Agreed. There is a reason that one of the city's unofficial mottos is "Pittsburgh: a drinking town with a football problem".
"I assume it's the same place that has the Rothlesburger."
Different place.
I hate all three of the potential NBA champions.
Cavs just speaks for itself (sorry mgrowold), you have the dick-kicker on Golden State and the OKC Thunder should be Seattle Sonics.

Sonicsgate. Great documentary. Show how full of shit these owners really are.

On ESPN Classic. Anyways worse owner is Art for being a sellout moving the team out of Cleveland for BAL and not showing his face in Cleveland after the move shows he was a devout coward.
I haven't been compelled to *understand* the situation further. I was there, alive, conscious, aware, from 06-08 when Seattle fans were screwed by Clay Bennett, who reneged on an agreement that was made in good faith.
Seattle fans are still justifiably salty, the "Thunder" is still a weak-sauce and WNBA caliber nickname, and a storied team vanished in thin air out of greed.
That's still a silly reason to dislike the second best offense in the NBA/a humble, recent MVP/the most physically explosive PG in the league/a system that still utilizes big men in a throwback manner, oftentimes running a two center system/Mitch McGary's squad.
and you said you HATE them.
Still haven't gotten over the Penguins beating us in '09. That said, go sharks.
Would be happy to see a new team win the Cup, so go Sharks.

4 point GSW lead. 8:30 to go.
This could be one hell of a finish.

Bigger market, better story. NBA is tanking and needs GS in the finals to boost ratings.
I'm always curious when people think the NBA rigs the playoffs. Is each game scripted? To what degree? Every play? Just the last couple of minutes? Or does the NBA give the directive that a key call will go in a team's favor? Or is it more that the officials will just slightly and subtly favor one team over another?
