GDT: #45 FLYERS 2 at Devils 3, Saturday, Jan. 12, 2019, 1:00 pm ET

Thanks, BiggE, but we are talking from different ends of the spectrum. I stand, as usual, behind the Podium of Ignorance on whiskey. My Top 1 list of whiskies would be 1. Whiskey.

On wines, I am a big, big Chianti fan, mainly because I got to do a wine tasting in the beautiful Chianti region just outside Florence many years ago. So Italian reds and German whites would be my strong suit.

Love a good Chianti and an Amarone or Barolo too.

 

[magnumpi]

Nah, not even close. Hats off To Roy Harper, Hot Dog and the entire Coda album are much worse.

I like all their songs but Hot Dog is probably their worst.

Hats off to Roy Harper is actually an interesting song. I revisited it after never liking it.

 

[magnumpi]

Sadly, I also had tix for the 1980 tour, it was my 15th birthday present.

grew up during the 80's so zeppelin was finished by the time I became aware of the music industry.
But, i was listening to zeppelin during the mid 80's. I had friends who were into hair metal. One guy's favorite band was Poison.
They used to bust my chops for listening to something "old". They got a kick out of Page's drunken huffing and puffing during the Atlantic records reunion show. Anyway, was that a mix of heroin and booze causing Page's drooling and huffing.

Anyway, years later I saw a couple of those guys for the first time in ages. They all told me how I was ahead of my time and how they were all big zeppelin fans.

Typical BS 11:00 am game that I will be at work for. Matinee games are garbage

I'll be unemployed come spring time. Too bad the Flyers will be golfing by then

Chianti is really good and isn't a popular wine so it can be had for nice and cheap. Great taste to cost ratio.

It’s pretty much impossible to make a top 10 list of best or even favorite whiskeys, but here are few of my faves

Balvenie 14 year old single cask
Glenfiddich 15 year old Solera reserve
Woodford reserve rye

Good choices. I'm using company as an excuse to open a Nikka 17 Pure Malt tonight.

So, you are on Speyside of scotches?

 

[bennysflyers16]

Ah, the mighty Led Zep. I actually had tickets to see them on the tour where Bonzo unfortunately passed away. Always wish I had caught them(I was 14 yrs old lol).

However, there is a tribute band called Zoso that is pretty incredible. I highly recommend seeing them if you ever have the chance.

I saw Led Zepplica here once, they were incredible for a tribute band.

He's not on the wagon, that's for sure.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Wearing and Tearing was a song the band universally hailed as one of the most important in their chronology because it came at a time when the punk movement was in its short-lived zenith. It is one of my favorite tracks. I heard Plant play it live at a concert, unexpectedly, and it was one of the highlights of the evening.

 

[Bruckuss]

wow, great chat - as for Zep, IMO the top 5 or 10 for me really depends on the mood i'm in, or what's happening in my life when listening. Ultimately, easy to get lost in most albums, that's the calling card of greatness.

As for the brown, I rather like the Balvennie Doublewood 12, and lately have been sipping on a Lagavulin 8 which is fairly pungent, but excellent.

Oh, and we made a trade! Graves is from my hometown, can't say I know him though (close to half my age lol)

I attended that show at MSG. The hours passed, 12 or 13 of them with 20 or so musical artists playing. IIRC, the concert ended well after 2:00 a.m.

 

[bennysflyers16]

I want to win again. Another strong Hart game, let’s get his numbers insane to deter any dumb Bob contracts.

 

[magnumpi]

This song may be premature but its going on 9 seasons since the Flyers were interesting.

Not quite Ten Years Gone

 

[Ghosts Beer]

Hoping Patrick has a big game

Been hoping for that all-season.

Wait they weren't interesting in 2011-12?

not really, that team had no shot

 

[Ghosts Beer]

I could never get into Zeppelin. I don’t have anything against them; but melodically I find them kind of boring.

 

[Rebels57]

That team was still extremely interesting.

Hartnell - Giroux - Jagr was one of the best lines in the league

It Voracek, Simmonds, Schenn, and Couturiers first season as Flyers after the big trades in the summer

Bryzgalov lol

 

[kudymen]

Bill Burr's gig here starts when the puck drops. Have fun guys. I will.

Hope we kick the Devils ass

It wasn't about Bryzgalov.

That was about Pronger's injury. With him I believe that we would beat Devils in play-offs.
