Isles drinking starts at 8:30... Follow me on twitter for all the fun
- Dan Petriw

I'm with you Dan but I don't tweet but I'll be playing along. Have some clowns coming over tonight.

I'll always take Roy's opinion on Poulin over anyone else. I think we the right D and coaching, Poulin would be fine. I have no faith in Dunham and Cappy.
- ses111

Nor should you. The D seems more porous with Poulin, some teams play crappy in front of certain goaltenders just the way it is. Poulin has some talent not sure what his ceiling is yet but Dan has seen the kid more than anyone else so his opinion has some more bite than anybody on here I'm guessing. With that said none of us know how he'll develop?

I rarely drink anymore so I'll follow along for the drunken comments

it's a friend that causes blackouts and embarassing moments with no recollection later. I'm done apologizing for stuff I don't remember doing

It cannot help Poulin when Cappy only plays him when Nabby is hurt. Cappy showing more confidence can go a long way. I'm not going to say Poulin is a sure fire star. I do not trust Cappy and Dunham with his development. Would it surprise anyone if Poulin went elsewhere and developed? We have all seen this movie with plenty of other young players.

I used to do that then I switched to beer. Best thing I ever did.

No and that's not a compliment to poulin but more of a shot at our development of prospects.

my problem is I can have one, maybe two. Any more than that and suddenly it's wheels coming off and I'll drink whatever the hell someone puts in front of me and keep slamming it back until I don't remember anything else.

I'm like that with vodka. Turn into a total lunatic. I can have one but even that's pushing it. Beer I'm fine. Told myself it was either abstinence or beer and wine. Abstinence wasn't happening. I'll have my occasional vodka tonic but never to the extent as before. I lose that moderation switch with vodka and once I get going you never know what's going to happen? One of the many reasons I decided long ago to stay away from Russian/Polish girls

You should probably stay away. It reminds me of when I invited one of my co-workers out after work one night.

Me: Hey Pete, a bunch of us are going to grab a few beers. Do you want to come?

Pete: No man, I shouldn't.

Me: C'mon! It'll be fun. Why don't you want to go?

Pete: The last time I went out I screamed "(frank) you pig!" at the cop that woke me up at 5 in the morning because I was passed out on the curb.

Me: ... Ok, why don't you sit this one out.

Vodka, Baileys, Kaluhua... try it!!!

I wasn't quite that bad, although I do remember the next morning stillhammered at iIHOP ordering pigs in blankets far louder than was needed for the two officers in the booth next to us to hear me.

Make her one but add Godiva liquor. She'll see the light!

Thanks Jim. We haven't even started playing yet and this already turned into an AA meeting.

If you only knew.... Am I allowed to start drinking now? If not I lose already.
