Where do you live? Middle-East?


Currently in Scotch Country; some good stuff around here.

Bring some back for me! I enjoy a nice Islay, my preferred one these days is the Lagavulin 16 years.

aich. Tried an Islay once, it's horrible. I'm more of an Highland fan.

The best one I tried to far:

Aberfeldy 21 years, Single-malt

Man, this thing is supreme. About 150$ for a 70cl bottle, tho.

 

[TRG]

That's a nice GDT M.WhiskeySeven.

Wait, GDTception?

 

[ZARTONK]

Wait, GDTception?

Yeah, no one scheduled to make one, then two appear within 15 minutes of one another.

canadiensnation asked to do it a little while ago in the GDT schedule thread, always better to check there first

 

[Les Habitants]

Habs take it 4-2. Moen, Galchenyuk, Ryder, Subban score. Price plays stellar....

 

[Kurplunk]

Nice GDT

Ah ok, my reflex is to only check the table on the first page.

Notes shamelessly copy-pasted from from NHL.com:
This will be Montreal’s second in a five-game road swing and injuries are starting to affect how coach Michel Therrien doles out his ice time. Defensemen Andrei Markov (27:03) and P.K. Subban (26:49) each established new season highs for ice time in Sunday night’s big 4-3 win in Boston. When Raphael Diaz was healthy, Therrien liked the balance on his three defense pairings and it was largely special teams that created the differences in the ice time given to each. But now he is appearing to lean heavier on his top guys, a group that also includes Josh Gorges and Alexei Emelin.

The last time the Islanders faced the Canadiens, they were hoping to break out of a slump that saw them lose seven of their previous nine games. That come-from-behind, overtime win in Montreal appears to have done that, with the Islanders going 3-2-1 in their last six dating back to that win. But the power play is a problem, going four straight games without scoring (0-for-11). The Islanders’ power play is truly strange in that it is clicking at a 16.4 percent rate at home, 23rd in the National Hockey League, but it’s a League-best 32.3 percent on the road. This game against the Canadiens is the fifth of a seven-game homestand.

Players to look out for:
Habs: Brian Gionta, Travis Moen, Francois Bouillon
Isles: Tavares, Moulson, Streit, DiPietro

THE MONTREAL CANADIENS GDT DRINKING GAME

Req: Beer, or if you're a man, whiskey
Take 1 drink if:

• The RDS commentator uses the word "péniblement"
• The Habs commit an icing with seconds left in the period
• Lars Eller makes a good play and everyone in the thread mentions how he should play more
• Someone complains about Moen
• Gionta shoots high-and-wide
• Emelin crushes someone

Take 2 drinks if:

• You lose sight of David Desharnais during a play because he's by the near-sideboards and only spot him by noticing his floating helmet
• Ryan White commits a penalty and everyone in the thread erupts in rage
• Carey Price lets in a goal and Maliki2 mentions it (drink every time he mentions the goal)
• Someone complains about Armstrong
• Someone mentions that Emelin has metal plates in his eye

Take 3 drinks if:

• Brian Gionta skates the puck to the o-zone blueline, dumps it and then runs off to change (aka The Dump-and-Change)
• A Hab commits a delay-of-game puck over the glass and it makes you miss Hamrlik and Spacek
• Gionta misses an impossible-to-miss open net
• Someone calls Pacioretty "Wolverine"
• A goal is scored

Finish drink if:

• Price lets in less than one goal
• Gionta completes a hat-trick
• You think about your ex and it makes you wonder how thing's could've been...
• A player is traded mid-game

Finish a brand new drink if:

• Thomas Kaberle scores the 20,000th goal in Montreal Canadiens history

I've never made a GDT, hope this is okay.

Well, there goes my night.

aich. Tried an Islay once, it's horrible. I'm more of an Highland fan.

Blasphemy. As far as I'm concerned, Islay IS scotch.

 

[Dominator13]

I expect the 4th line to make a lot of noise tonight. No way does an emotional person like Michel Therrien let their half an effort against Boston go away so easily. It's pretty obvious now that Travis Moen had seen the arrival of Brandon Prust and the return of Ryan White as an easy way out of having to fight for protection reasons or creating a spark.

 

[PhysicX]

Take 2 drinks if:

You lose sight of David Desharnais during a play because he's by the near-sideboards and only spot him by noticing his floating helmet
Ryan White commits a penalty and everyone in the thread erupts in rage
Carey Price lets in a goal and Maliki2 mentions it (drink every time he mentions the goal)
Someone complains about Armstrong
Someone mentions that Emelin has metal plates in his eye

So does that mean that when I post, people must drink?

 

[Dominator13]

Take 2 drinks if:


Carey Price lets in a goal and Maliki2 mentions it (drink every time he mentions the goal)

Now THAT is hilarious

 

[WeberBombs]

Players to look out for:

Gio has 3 goals in his last 2!

 

[canadiensnation]

good work on the little GDT you did WhiskeySeven, a lot of instructions

Habs win this one 5-2,

Patches
Plekanec
Moen
Markov
Eller

somehow Galchenyuk gets first star.

 

[Et le But]

For those of us stuck watching an Islanders stream, I will add the following. Take 1 drink if Butch Goring mispronounces a name.

 

[Alexdaman]

I will make a bold prediction, if we win the game tonight in a convincing matter, we will win the cup in the next three seasons.

 

[TRG]

For those of us stuck watching an Islanders stream, I will add the following. Take 1 drink if Butch Goring mispronounces a name.

You will be drunk after the first.

 

[PricePkPatch*]

Blasphemy. As far as I'm concerned, Islay IS scotch.

Meh. They have 8 refineries on that small island.

Compare to the hundred factories in Speyside alone.

Plus, Lowland and Highland provide some great contrasts to Speyside and Islay...

These things are purely subjective, you have to admit

 

[JHabs61]

Could make some people super drunk simply by constantly complaining about Armstrong.

Well of course, to each their own, bit I love peat heavy scotch. I know there's some great complex highland scotches, but if I want to splurge on scotch, I want taste peate, salt and smoke.

Depends what you need in your scotch, I'd guess
