Pre-Game Talk: Be The Spark: #KingsHabs (11/10/2018 ; 19:30 PM ; RDS, TSN2, FS-W)

[Kudo Shinichi]

The next 2 teams we face have their number 1 goalie injured (quick, Murray)

 

[De Montreal]

Be the spark is so cringe

Be the spark!

Oups no... not that one, please

 

[40Armia]

The Leafs get home opener right off the bat ! Anyone surprised ?

 

[MXD]

... Apparently, it's not only new hot dogs, but stuff like Butter Chicken Poutine.

... Why the actual f*** would someone order a Butter Chicken Poutine?

 

[Habs Halifax]

First team we face with a good team Defense. This is a better test IMO. The best thing the Habs have going for us is our D and goaltending is solid, we are using our speed to our advantage, and we are rolling 4 lines to help maintain that level of speed throughout the game.

Kings should be a good test. A good all around team.

Love Butter Chicken and Love Poutine but the combination sounds dreadful.

I would normally agree with you on this one.
Now with Campbell or Budaj in net for the Kings....i don't.

It is. It's the greatest tragedy to befall our national dish since the italians got to it.

f*** right off with that shit.

 

[Belial]

If they can keep up that speed and relentless forecheck they should be fine.

KK with his first of the season!

**** right off with that ****.

You can't tell who does what anymore, esp. in this city. For instance, Carlo's and Pepe's is not even owned by Mexicans. Most of Little Italy is not inhabited by those of Italian heritage and its businesses are mostly owned by non-Italians. For all we know, an enterprising restaurant owner of non-Italian descent saw an opportunity and put the Italian poutine disaster, together.

And what is the big deal about poutine anyways? It's not exactly the most complex dish to experiment with.

A bigger team but not a fast one.

Teams have their own systems, but they do adjust for their opponents. Right now we have sprung a new system and it will be interesting to see what happens when teams adjust for what we are doing.

Our game on exit is to use our speed and quick , short passes up in transition. I am guessing at some point teams will employ a two man forecheck on the puck, with a guy somewhere on the puck side of our D zone to cut off any cross ice pass and another guy on the puck side boards to cut off our winger. If we get it out we would likely have odd man rushes, if we dont, we get hemmed in. I think that's when our lack of size could hurt us. But so far so good.

Same reason people order it at a movie theatre, cause they're weird. How you can eat a full dinner and have a glass of wine in the dark, watching a movie is beyond me.

At least at the Bell Centre you can see your food

 

[MXD]

... Wow, bunch of bad Instagram posts about Taco Fests at Bell Center.

 

[MXD]

Love Butter Chicken and Love Poutine but the combination sounds dreadful.

I'd like to tell you that is, but it's such a Pejorative Slured suggestion I never tried it.
And we're talking about meal I'm cooking on a monthly basis.

It is. It's the greatest tragedy to befall our national dish since the italians got to it.

**** right off with that ****.

That picture is even more disgusting than the concept of Butter Chicken Poutine.

 

[Harry22]

They kept the same slogan as last year?

... At least, a glass of wine is something that makes sense in and of itself. Something I can't quite say of a Butter Chicken Poutine.

Coming up next : Sushi Poutine.

It was most likely a greek dude who came up with it given how prevalent greeks have been in the mtl resto scene the past few decades. Most greeks I grew up with tried their best to pretend to be italian so I wouldn't be surprised tbh.

Nobody ever said poutine was complex. But clearly, there's people f***ing it up so it must not be super easy, especially not for the guy calling the shots at Bell Centre concessions. But now that i see the 'tacos', I gotta figure they're trying hard to be 'worldly' with their offerings.

Next up, kebabs/shawarma. You heard it here first.

I went to the moveis with a friend and he ordered a smoked meat poutine. I was flabbergasted as I ate my popcorn.

Only reason I referred to the simplicity of poutine is how easy it is to substitute one or two ingredients to turn it into a foreign dish. Every culture has its version of gravy or sauce or its version of unrefined soft cheese. Have both of these replace the standard gravy and cheese curds, and you have (insert foreign heritage here) poutine.

...But then again : a Smoked Meat Poutine makes sense!

I'd probably try Butter Chicken Pizza before Butter Chicken Poutine.

Yeah, I getcha, but at that point, if you've changed 2/3 ingredients, it's not really a poutine anymore.

You guys are treading on dangerous grounds -- we have a large contingent of foodies in here and I can't tell you how many threads have been derailed on account of it.

That said, keep 'em coming.

I hope they make butter chicken sundae's and serve them at the BC!
