I'm at a loss here.

On a side note, speaking of fries, has anyone ever tried poutine?

They are now serving it at a diner in South Jersey (the dish is even named for Chris Therien....I guess Therien knows the folks that run this particular diner) and was thinking of giving it a shot.

Yes. Poutine is incredible. Only cheddar cheese curds though. Cottage cheese is just wrong.

Fries, brown gravy, and cheese, right?

Well, I do like mayo on things like Tuna and Turkey. But not much else.
- MBFlyerfan


I've even replaced mayo in tuna with horseradish (see this: http://www.shopwell.com/b...e/condiments/p/4242116003) and it is 10x better and better for you.

Mayo has not been replaced, however, for turkey sandwiches made the day after Thanksgiving. At this point, that's the only reason mayonnaise exists in my house.

I use the Mayo with Olive oil. Not the same, but a fair substitute.

Yeah but it isn't quite like normal brown gravy. I don't understand why this hasn't caught on in the US yet. The ingredients are pretty damn common.

I think that's it.

I've never tried it and I know Canadians dig it. I was looking for reviews.

After reading the ingredients, I feel like I need clearance from a doctor before trying it.

Yes, I have done that with the horseradish. It is indeed delicious.

Sorry to correct you sir, but that isn't horseradish. It's horseradish sauce. You may as well call that Horseradish Flavored Mayo Sauce.

In the last month or so, Umberger has raised his game. If he is still here next season, and can play at the level he is currently playing at, that will indeed be better then how he played in the begining of the season. Still not ideal with his cap hit, and I'd rather move him if I can, but that is one way the Flyers can improve next year. That line along with Read's struggles this season, is a big reason for the Flyers struggles this year.
- MJL

Wow he played great for a month. Unfortunately he has played like garbage for the rest of the last 3 seasons. Luke Schenn played great last playoffs. If only he could play every game like he played those 7 the Flyers would be better. Problem is fans have been saying dumb things like that about L Schenn even in his Toronto days yet he can't play well like that on a consistent basis. That's why he has been a 6th defenseman in 3 of the last 4 seasons. Short stretches of good play shouldn't be used as a hopeful projection of future results when the majority of time that player has stunk. Umberger will stink next year and being in his early 30's makes it more than likely he will decline even more.

Think that's bad? The best poutine I ever had was topped with "montreal smoked meat" which is essentially delicious pastrami. Few things in life are better than this combo.

Its kind of nuts the way Del Zotto got torpedoed by the Rangers and Nashville. Especially at 24 years of age.
- MBFlyerfan



I think Del Zotto torpedoed himself somewhat. Not sure he got a great shot at it in Nashville. Rangers just gave up on him.

I can get that at my local diner. It's good, but not "go loonie" good like the Canadians make it out to be.

Um....isn't that just mayo with horseradish mixed in? Egg yolks, oil, vinegar, water, lemon juice, horseradish

Normally I will just grind up some banana peppers and mix them in with my tuna and mayo.

Umberger did not play like garbage in the last 3 seasons before this season. He also battled injury issues last season. Umberger might not play well next season, but there is also the possibility that he might play well. As I said earlier, I'd prefer due to his cap hit, to move on. Luke Schenn might not be here next season. Sorry, I don't share your doom and gloom outlook on the Flyers for next season or any other future season.

I think Winnipeg has to move Kane after something like this. Might be able to land him on the cheap.

It can be good or bad depending. There are a couple places around me who serve it. One of them puts wine/sherry in the gravy and I'm out on that. All the other times I've enjoyed it. Of course I grew up on gravy fries so just adding cheese is about all it is.

Yeah, I don't think Winnipeg is going to get what they think they are going to get for him.

Kane is a great talent. Probably not a great guy, might just need a change of scenery.

Works well cap wise. I think I would make that deal if I were Hextall.
