Speaking of drinks, I picked up a bottle of Murray Hill Club and a bottle of Calumet 16 year bourbon and they are both phenomenal. dunno if any of you are bourbon drinkers

I am a walking bourbon bottle, haha.

I do enjoy my Calumet 15 quite often, but EH Taylor is my favorite which is seemingly impossible to find!

maybe the split up with rak up to the top line to do some of that with rust down to the second where zucker can do some of that. who knows.

the forwards arent lighting anything on fire by any means, but i still think the majority of their overall issues on both sides of the ice stem from the D.

Yes. In order to help mitigate the issues the Pens are gonna have to learn to break out as a unit. Too often there is no outlet or support and that results in the puck being turned over with the our forwards going the other way.

Yeah? I'll have to add 15 to my list now so I can compare.

I REALLY enjoy the Murray Hill Club from Joseph Magnus.

Buffalo Trace, Sazerac, and Eagle Rare are some of my favorite bottles so that makes sense EH Taylor would be delicious.

I'm just now getting into the higher priced bourbons as I'm finding out they are more pleasant on the palate, rather than just making old fashioneds with my usual 1792 or Old Forester 100 haha.

Is there a specific from EH Taylor you like? Small batch? I'll have to see what we have in our local stores.

I really want to get a bottle of Remus Repeal Reserve 6 soon and give that one a shot. I want to try Smoke Wagon U/U too.

My colleagues at work got me a bottle of Widow Jane and Angels Envy as our wedding gift.

Right now, I think the Penguins are in the current situation as the Steelers have been for the last few years... too bad to win a championship (or even make noise in the playoffs) yet too good to ever get a good draft pick. They will be in no man's land over the next few years.

Now, for the steelers, I wanted them to rebuild several years ago, but now is better than never. I dont want the Steelers to because I think this team still has enough talent. Hextall just chose to waste all of our money on useless plugs instead of improving the roster with quality players.

Rossi wants to waive Kap and trade for a bottom 6 spark plug like Tanner Jeannot.
- madmike71

1 who would they trade for Jeanot, 2 Sullivan would bench him for being tough.

I smoked some water in my smoker for my buddy he mixes it with run of the mill poor man’s Bourbon and says it’s great. I only drink piss beer so I don’t know. That poop all tastes the same to me.

Yup, same path as the Dats/Z Red Wings. I'm cool with it though. 3 cups and 4 finals visits from this era is more than anyone could have ever asked for.

what defender on this team can confidently and competently skate it out of the zone? Petry has some puck skill in the zone but hes past his expiration date for that.

Being American you might not be familiar with the royal family but if you are does anyone else think prince william looks like an old bald Sid?

Bunch of coworkers are big on Blantons. It’s good but I don’t drink straight whiskey much.

Went through a brief scotch phase once. Anything below $50 bottle was pretty bla.

I was reminded on the radio today that GMJR made some comments about players being fat and happy after getting new/big contracts. One of those guys was Rust.

Self inflicted by Jarry. Rather than leave it for the D man with no one on him, he shoots it up the boards where no Pen was anywhere to be seen.

Yup, looking like the same old 1 good period kinda night.

And 7 shot through nearly 30 minutes...wtf happened to the team that averaged almost 40 a game the first 2 weeks?

Keep rolling the same unit out there Sully. No need to change anything.
