@Dawn:

Dick’s WC store’s last day is tomorrow, they won’t be open on the 1st, so get it quick!

@Everyone else:
Looking for breakfast/brunch:
Avoid Pamela’s. Sure, it’s the touristy “Pittsburgh” go to, but it’s often packed with yinzers and the food isn’t very good.

Better brunch options include:
Square Cafe in Regent’s Square (Typical breakfast food, veg and vegan friendly, excellent french toast)

Coco Cafe in Lawrenceville (Typical breakfast foods, get there early, they tend to fill up)

Paris 66 in Shadyside (French)

E2 (E Squared) in Highland Park (Fusion, non-trad stuff, veg and vegan friendly)

Not sure who is open or not on New Year’s Day, so check websites or call beforehand.

Have fun!

I will be heading to the Winter Classic and I can’t wait! I want to get a knit Capitals cap so I might see if my group wants to do a hunt for Dick’s store.

@Tim, indeed, Backstrom had a strong game. Finally.

WTF on our PP looking like poo poo. I mean, how long before teams figure out they should just take a penalty every two minutes and work their way to a 0-0 tie and win in a shootout? Cripes almighty. Can we just refuse the penalty like in football?

Those going to the Classic–have a blast! I will enjoy it from the warm comforts of my friend’s living room, if I don’t oversleep.

[...] know the drill…read about the game from people that know how to write about games like Russian Machine Never Breaks, On Frozen Blog, and Japer’s Rink and just look at the pretty pictures while you’re [...]

Rain, snow, dogs, whatever. We have to be like the Postal Service and deliver the mail to Pittsburgh. Just grab your warmest gear, your best CAPS attitude and help cheer our surging boys past those damn Pens. Looking forward to seeing plenty of RED in the streets and bars, not to mention Heinz Field itself. LET’S GO CAPS! And Mathieu Perrault!

As a Caps fan currently living in the ‘Burgh, let me know if you need/want any suggestions for decent places to get food around town. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to join you as I’m spending the holiday in Beantown. I’ll reply to comments here.

Also, the winter classic store Dick’s opened at 1400 Smallman street in the Strip District is the only place in town where I’ve found Caps gear. The selection is unsurprisingly small and crammed in a corner, but if you’re looking for that last minute knit cap or hoodie, they’ll have it until the 31st.

I’ll be in Pitt New Year’s Day. Just look for the sign. ;D

Great game, glad to see the boys play a full 60.

Also: REFS. You missed so many calls on the Habs. Not amused. Though with the way the PP had been playing, idk if it’d make a difference.

Can’t wait for the Classic, it’s gonna be a blast!
