Weave

In before Eleven doesn't speak meme.

One thing Grapes was consistent about over the years, he did not like the inclusion of non North American players. I remember him complaining many times about “good Canadian boys” losing jobs in “our game”. I guess he carried that mindset over to non-hockey as well.

I just don’t think erod is full NHL level player. He’s a decent enough skater. Decent enough shot and passer. Decent work ethic. But there isn’t one aspect of his game that rises far enough above decent to allow a role to be identified for him.

Same. I recall him being brash, but kept it about hockey. Or at least the more physical elements of hockey. And I enjoyed it. But about 10-15 years ago his commentary expanded to non hockey subjects and he slowly turned into a caricature of what he was, like he started cultivating a more extreme version of himself. And I quickly lost interest.

Looks like one reasonably physical D man in each pair?

If Mojo is out of the lineup this team will go from mediocre to downright unwatchable.

As of last year I got a meal on a flight to Munich. Didn’t know that the kosher option once had a rep for being a better quality option.

Do tell....

That showed up on my feed last night. Awesome.

If he says "people" and not "you" it's no longer a discriminatory statement, so, yeah. I think it's pretty much a given that he used the word he really wanted to use.

I'm more than a little amazed that Cherry's shtick didn't get him fired alot sooner than this. And I'm not looking forward to the Thanksgiving conversation when this inevitably gets brought up.

That horse is already outside of the barn.

This response seems to assume that these are recent observations re: Jack. And they aren’t. Regardless of where he sits in league scoring, it is perfectly legit to point out significant flaws in Jacks game, which is exactly what this is. Especially when that flaw has not improved at all over the course of his career to date. Dahlin gets more rope. He’s alot younger. But it’s also perfectly valid to be concerned about the seeming backwards trajectory of his defensive game this year.

I’d probably feel alot more open to another international game if I was confident our team would be talked about positively afterward.

In his prime, our dog was a first class squirrel killer. He learned to lay quietly on the deck steps until a foraging squirrel got too close. The chase was usually short, and the result cruel to watch. He played with them after he caught them. There was no point in trying to break it up because he would prance around the yard just out of reach if we tried. As badly as I felt for the squirrel, I'd love another day of cleaning up the aftermath......

Right from his rookie season he's been handled incorrectly. We've all heard the rumors of the vets-youth split in the room right from his rookie season. And it was never "fixed". There is a petulance to him that isn't healthy. We need to hope that he grows out of it, and soon. Or hope there's another Turgeon-LaFontaine deal out there to be had.

A brain bleed is what ended Joe Mesi’s boxing career. And my son suffered one in a car accident when he was in middle school. It took 4 years before he was right again. Id be concerned if I were a Jets fan.

Wait...... Mitts played wing? Who centered the 3rd line?

30 years ago today the Berlin Wall fell and the world all cheered. It was a Republican victory of sorts that led to the wall coming down. Today the leader of the very same party has regular temper tantrums because he can't get his wall built.

That hurt to watch.

Boy this pour changes after some time in the glass. The pepper mutes somewhat and it gets real buttery. And the cherry shows up more in the finsh.

I have a glass of William Larue Weller sitting in front of me. Just a hair over 125 proof. The liquid is dark. Seriously dark. I wonder how long this stuff sat in a barrel? Butterscotch and a hint of cherry on the nose. Like a Werthers candy waved over a jar of Morello cherries. Simple syrup on the tongue that turns to cherry and then a crashing wave of pepper that fades to burnt sugar and eventually vanilla. Long, long vanilla and oak finish. It needs a bit of water to bring this all out. At full proof the alcohol really intensifies the pepper and it dominates and overwhelms. This is one of the very few whiskeys I’ve had where the flavors come in big waves. The pepper absolutely bursts out of the sweet, viscous start, and the cherry and vanilla show up equally suddenly. This is a treat.

Agreed. Played at a high level for a long time. He should be next. Jack hasn’t done enough yet for a vote. Surely not as much as Peca, Briere, and Drury.

I know. Never was a Matt Ellis fan.

Tilapia. The Matt Ellis of fish.
