They are stocked top to bottom...but so were the Caps last year. As we all know, or should know anyway, its not just the roster that wins the cup. Bounces, calls, injuries or even just a goalie playing out of his mind can sometimes shift a series.

Think they will dress everyone tonight? I think they should and really try and secure home ice. Besides, there will be a nice break after tonight until playoffs start.

No question they'll dress everyone tonight. Even Murray.

I should have guessed haha

On a random note since I know you're a whiskey guy. I got to try a few different Pappy Van Winkles the other night... highly overrated. Very good, but overrated and not worth the price.

Luckily I still have friends in the industry, so I don't have to pay for any of it hahah

Yeah, that's actually a pretty special way to end their careers at home.

Seriously? That poop is ridiculously priced. I honestly never really even gave it thought because of how expensive it was hahaha. I've started to enjoy Irish Whiskey more than bourbon lately. Especially on the rocks.

I had this beer the other night at the local World of Beer, Trappistes Rochefort... apparently it's a regular on the top 50 beers in the world... it was like 14 bucks a bottle... but (frank) was it delicious. It was one of the most flavorful beers I've ever had, the depth was insane.

Yeah, I got invited to an event and they did a flight of three different Pappys. I know the cheapest one I tried that if you got it in a restaurant is like $30 a glass. They're very good, but there are so many other good whiskeys for less than half the price.

I'm not as big of a beer guy as I used to be, but I do love a Trappist and I've had that one; it's very good. Not sure if you've tried to jump on the Sours bandwagon that all the hipsters are drinking, but I just can't. They're effin gross.

Ahh (frank), I was down in Naples over the summer and I got some whiskey that was 45 bucks a glass, I can't remember what it was, but the chick had to get on a ladder just to get it down.. it was so (frank)ing smooth. I've come to appreciate Bourbon strictly for Old Fashioned's and Irish whiskey when I want something straight.


Hahahaa I actually do like some sours, it depends though. Some sours and goses are good. Generally I prefer stouts, because most are brewed with a coffee taste, IPAs are solid too. As long as it's not poopty coors light, or pretty much any light beer, I'm cool. Yeungling always does the trick for me too.

What a hockey night. Pens win a close one and ND is going to the Frozen Four championship. What a (frank)ing year in sports.

I'm definitely more of an IPA guy and I do love some belgian whites. Delirium Tremens and Chimay white is my poop.

The taste of IPAs reminds me of the scent of lawn fertilizer.

- madmike71


Yeah dude, if you can find it, give it a try. It's REALLY strong in flavor (and alcohol percentage) but the depth was crazy. It almost had like a slight liquor taste to it to. All kinds of spices, but never at the same time. Weird kind of harmony lol

I don't know if I've ever had Delerium's Tremens.. this is usually my go to because it's local and (frank)ing delicious.



It's not as robust as some IPAs but it's really smooth. Citrusy, not over hoppy.

I agree. Would be nice to get DeSmith and Simon a game, but they need to get at least a point tonight. Plenty of days off after this.

I dont really like beer or even alcohol that much anymore. My favorite is Jack Daniels ...unfortunately though it can turn me into an animal that wakes up chalked full of regret the next day.

So if I do drink, its usually beer. Drink beer, to stay in the clear, I say.

Jack is solid for a good ol' Jack and Coke or Whiskey Ginger. Gentleman's Jack or Single Barrel is good too.

My snob comes out when see jack n coke. If you’re gonna add coke, just go with what’s in the well. You won’t know the difference.

I remember one place I bartended someone ordered Hennessey and Pineapple juice. Biggest waste of money in the world!

The Victory-Golden Monkey? Yeah it's pretty damn good. (frank) I had one at the rink the other day and I can't remember what it was. I'm pretty sure it was an IPA but it was one I've never had before.

haha most times on JD, yes. I find one drink of JD hits me as much as four drinks of of vodka or gin...but its so delicious.

Beer I can get drunk on but the drunk plateaus for me...I could never go into blackout territory on it.
