GDT: What Should Be A Battle Royale Between McDrai and The Canes Defense...Except...

[hblueridgegal]

Nice closure.

 

[WreckingCrew]

Canadian rinks play to Canes skating advantage with quality ice.

it’s too bad rbc can’t match….

Calgary and Winnipeg were just as bad if not worse at times...so many blown tires by both squads

 

[HisIceness]

I like waking up to a victory. It is good to wake up to a victory.

 

[SoupNazi]

I only watched the first period on this. It's a very good feeling to know that I'll actually want to watch the replay tonight.

 

[Unsustainable]

Old fashions are good, but not so good when you wake up to an empty bottle

 

[NikoEhlers]

Slavin and Aho are just playing amazing right now, solid game from Andersen.

Wonder if somehow Slavin can clock 30 minutes on a b2b too

Did you just give yourself an Old Fashioned ass whuppin'?

I really need to learn how to make those, I'm usually pretty decent at cocktails but that's one I have yet to really try much

Simple syrup, bitters, whiskey and orange peel, but you have twist the orange peel to get the oils out.

It's like a bar spoon of simple, bar spoon of bitters, and 2 Oz of whiskey. With ice and stir

It’s really the simplest drink to make. Drives me crazy when I order a standard one at a bar or restaurant and they decide to put some stupid twist on it that’s not advertised.

This is one of the drinks that I find is most frequently altered. Seems like everyone has their own take on it. There was a time when I drank almost nothing but Old Fashioneds, and I found that I had to be very clear, even down to the bitters I preferred.

It drives me crazy, though, as it’s the most classic of cocktails. I feel like no one should be straying from the basic recipe unless they’re advertising it as such. Unfortunately, it happens, and I’ve drank my share of strange old fashioneds because I was too polite to say anything when they dropped it at my table.

 

[tarheelhockey]

After tonight, they have 2 days between games 3x before the back to back so plenty of time to recover. With Pesce and DeAngelo back in the fold, his minutes will likely go down as well.

What you’re saying is, we should look for him to return on the third day?

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Looking at the shift chart, the Oilers did a pretty good job of keeping McDavid away from slavin through the first two periods. And good on the Canes getting Slavin against McDavid in the third

A newfangled Old Fashioned is anything but!

 

[chaz4hockey]

Can't remember a Canes game with that combination of physical play and stick work on D.

Somewhere Edzo is babbling about active sticks.

Canes are much more physical this year....they are not just a "skill" team this year.

I know there was a lot of angst over losing Dougie but Cole, Smith, Chatfield along with the squad no longer kids is a big positive. Playing the Bolts has probably helped as well in seeing what is required to win.

So they straight up admit they are a one-line team and they don't WANT TO PRODUCE ANY OFFENSE OUTSIDE OF THAT.

 

[larueskee]

Wow just realized there is another game tonight. The Nucks have been playing well since they fired just about everyone running the club. If you haven't been following Bruce Boudreau is coaching them now.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

A newfangled Old Fashioned is anything but!

Exactly. This is so obvious, too!

I mean, I have absolutely no problem if you want to experiment, because it's a great base for experimentation. Just don't call the result an Old Fashioned and pretend it's an actual Old Fashioned.

Hell I've even had some that are legitimately VERY interesting drinks in their own right. I want to say it was Krankies of all places that had one where they used some kind of tea in place of the water that turned out to be a really damn good drink, they also had the good sense not to call it a straight up Old Fashioned but rather added in the other ingredient in the name descriptor.

And now it's killing me trying to remember what kind of tea it was. It wasn't Earl Gray, I would have remembered that one because I've seen that at some cocktail bars before.

On a similar note... I used to host a yearly martini and pot luck appetizer night. Supplied the gin, (and yes, vodka to my chagrin), vermouth, olives, lots of ice - crushed and rocks. Some time in the late 90s or early 2000s someone brought berries and mint into the equation. Now I am not so obstinate that I'm not open to new things but I hated the fact they were calling them fruit martinis. Tasty? Not bad, but not martinis dammit! It only got worse in the ensuing years.

I understand the reluctance. But isn’t a juniper berry the source of gin, so therefore all martinis contain berries?

Yes and also I don’t get mad when old splinters of wooden barrels are floating in my Old Fashioneds
