SLAP SHOTS

     Lord Stanley, Lord Stanley, Mrs. Black-N-Gold has a preview of the Stanley Cup finals. They begin tonight when the San Jose Sharks faceoff against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Mrs. Black-N-Gold will carefully and thoughtfully process all of the necessary information to give you her pick to raise the Cup.

CELEBRITIES

Pittsburgh has many celebrities from all forms of entertainment that hail from the Steel City. There are rap artists Wiz Khalifa and Mac Miller, Olympic Gold Medalist and professional wrestler, Kurt Angle, Academy Award-nominated actor Michael Keaton, and comedian Billy Gardell to name a few. Seriously, Mrs. Black-N-Gold could write an entire article of all the famous people that are from the 'Burgh.

Mrs. Black-N-Gold searched high and low to find the celebrities from San Jose. She found "actor" Dustin Diamond. "Who is Dustin Diamond" you ask? He's the has-been that played Screech on "Saved by the Bell". Way to represent, San Jose.

Advantage-Pittsburgh

MUSIC

For Pittsburgh, you can see the above Wiz and Mac. There is also The Clarks and Donnie Iris.

Musically, San Jose has brought the world The Count 5, The Doobie Brothers and Smash Mouth. Now Mrs. Black-N-Gold is a fan of The Count 5's "Psychotic Reaction" and has been known to sing along to a Doobie's tune or two. However, that song "All-Star" by Smash Mouth has always gotten on her nerves.

Advantage-Pittsburgh

FOOD

Mrs. Black-N-Gold was unable to unearth any delicacies from San Jose, CA. She did stumble across one mention of Tofu. Ew! With San Jose being in Northern California, one would think wine would be a big thing there. Maybe seafood, too.

When it comes to Pittsburgh, if you're not eating a Primanti's sandwich and washing it down with a cold Iron City, there is something wrong with you.

Advantage-Pittsburgh

What do all these scientific facts tell us? That our Pittsburgh Penguins will raise the Cup! Many local pundits have expressed an interest in the Pens winning it in 5 or 7 games so our Pens can win the Cup in front of the home crowd for the 1st time. While that would be cool, Mrs. Black-N-Gold just wants to see the Pens win it all. The Cup travels well and can have its own seat on the team plane. Pens in 6. Let's Go Pens!!!
