Ah yes. The ol 200% tip. Take notes Shady.

The Macallan 18 is a great whiskey but as they say in Scotland, it's dear

(Expensive)

Aye.... I may have to break out the Johnny Walker Gold. I think I may need something buttery to take the taste of burning out of my mind after last night. Anything with too much peat or smoke tonight is not on the menu...

he easy hand over $1000 in his bill roll though seemed like a real nice guy to tip a lot more than the meal was worth

yea he was at Original Joes in downtown San Jose and I bumped into him trying to sit in my chair at the counter. It took me awhile to say hi to him, but I ended up just asking if I could shake his hand and thank him for all his hard work. Btw, he was with James Sheppard.

Is he the owner of the place Original Joes?

Let's all shut the (frank) up and appreciate something cool that happened last night at the Leafs game, in Toronto, before they got their poop wrecked...


- Giroux_Is_God

Well done, Leafs fans!

Is Thornton the owner?
- Marc D

no he's not the owner either

That's awesome considering my friends think its weird that I know the words to O Canada.
- aflyerpower8

I know the words to "O Canada".

Let's be honest: It almost sings like a drinking song, which makes in the best national anthem in North America.

This is also why "God Bless America" is far superior to the "Star Spangled Banner" (which has its roots in an actual British drinking song).

Solera huh... do they blend it with older batches or something?
- Marc D

Not that Im aware of. Its one of my faves

Macallan used to do a Sherry cask a couple years ago that kicks the poop out of the one they offer now. It made me very sad when we couldn't get our hands on the old version.

Yeah I remember, that was good stuff

Love the Gold! Just about as good as the Blue and half the price!

Guessing he won't be suiting up any time soon

Voynov charged with a felony. We are stuck with Pronger. Lak better not be able to get out of that deal

OK, do you really think he is a legitimate scoring threat?? He only shows flashes of decent abilities in that regard. I was all about him for awhile but he doesnt seem to be getting better. IMO. His defense is struggling too

This isn't that atypical for a young player's development arc imo. At 21, Coots is still getting the feel of what he can do physically as a full grown man in the league...looking toward the future, as a talented player getting toward 23,24 yrs old and hundreds of NHL games, he should gain confidence in realizing that he's no longer playing against "men" who are bigger and stronger and faster...he should start realizing that with some determination and assertion he can start to impose his will like he did in Jr., with more frequency...sort of like we're starting to see with B Schenn now. What's nice is he should start to break out as the Flyers window of contention begins to open back up. Got to be patient with him in the mean time.

I have t-shirts older than Sean Couturier.

I think I'd like to see him with more talented players, but I think he'll be fine.

This is a non-hockey related thing though. The contract may be void too since he broke the law if found guilty.

What was detroit doing there? For freaking Steve Weiss?

Wtf did he do to her?
- Tomahawk

The prosecution cites injuries to her cheek, eyebrow and neck. I'm guess he punched her a few times, and maybe had her in a headlock or choke hold of some sort.
