News Article: News & Notes XXXII: Simply Having a Wonderful Canesmas Time

[Lempo]

Oh, so Hartwall Arena is named for a booze company? Checks out.

A, and in the Finnish scene possibly the. Though, non-alcoholic sodas, beers, ciders and long drinks. No hard liquors.

When I was younger, in the Midwest, our softball team sponsor was none other than PBR. We got all the free beer we wanted, but it clearly had to be PBR. A cold PBR was fantastic after a hot day on the ball fields.

Hey now, don't cast shade on PBR. It won a ribbon. Best of the macros by far.

Even as a homebrewer and somebody who drinks craft beer near exclusively, I always have a few cans cold.

You know I’m sure it’s been said but sticking to the context of sports only, you got to hate it for Morgan Geekie. Came in showing fire. Might have become a star or might have flamed out but hopefully whenever play starts back, he picks up where he left off.

I mean you hate to see how the season stopped abruptly when he was getting ready to eclipse Gretzky's PPG records, but the good news is he's gone and put himself in the drivers seat for a spot next season even if there's not another game this year. Need a #4 C heading into next season? he can do that. Need a guy to play wing on the Staal line if Williams retires? he can do that. As is I think he starts at the #4 and is likely to move up if Dzingle disappoints again next season.

That explains the outrageously drunk Finnish man sitting/passed-out next to us during the Canes games at Hartwall who stirred to life and said "woooow" every time the arena erupted in cheers. Helsinki was an incredibly well-buttered city.

Man, that was a good time. I wish we'd go back. I would love to visit Finland again.

I'm afraid this guy is at every arena and in every game in Finland.

He should be an emoji.

Was by no means casting shade. Its still a beer I enjoy on a hot summer day.

but as someone posted, this whole discussion should probably moved to the watcha drinking thread

 

[Helsinki Hurricanes]

Nhl players asked who they think is most underrated player in the NHL. Jaccob Slavin mentions Hjalmarsson and Pesce.

More surprisingly, Matthew Barzal mentions Jordan Staal. Even if he's not producing as well as before, there's still value in his shutdown ability.

I coulda sworn there was a drinking thread I was ignoring for all this

Around here doesn't every thread at some point turn into Booze/BBQ at least for a bit?

 

[CanesUltimate11]

I've been under the assumption that this is a BBQ/Booze forum that occasionally breaks down hockey games.

That works, too.

During the pandemic I’ve decided to explore the full range of modern beer selection, so I splurged and bought a case of a fancy import, Heineken.

How the "Blue Ribbon" got in the name is the most enduring fact i have carried with me from reading "Devil in the White City."

Most underrated player?

Barzal: that motherf***er who beat my ass for 4 games straight in the playoffs last year

They actually won a blue ribbon and added to Pabst. Yes?

 

[To Be Determined]

correct. Pabst won the Blue Ribbon at the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago.

 

[cptjeff]

correct. Pabst won the Blue Ribbon at the 1893 World's Fair in Chicago.

Sorta. The expo didn't want demonstrations to be a competition, so they didn't actually give out any awards other than a medal to everyone who scored above a minimum threshold on the judge's scoresheet, which was 80/100. Pabst claimed that they had gotten the highest score and had thus won, despite there not actually being an official winner. But they had won numerous competitions before that and were already using blue ribbons in their marketing.

Is it wrong to want to marry your common-law spouse solely so that you could just one time beat her up wearing this?

I mean, I know it is, but somehow this connects me to deep darkness I didn't know I had.

Yes. It is wrong. And would likely end up with her beating your ass instead, especially if she buys the matching Bruins tank.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Didn’t they make those already years ago? Right up there with the NHL baseball jerseys as the dumbest f***ing things ever made

 

[Svechhammer]

Yeah there are Canes ones out there as well for both the current home and black alternate

 

[Svechhammer]

Just stopped by the arena to pick up the cheap beer and stocked up for the summer. Waddell was out there greeting everyone, which I was surprised to see.

They all looked happy to be seeing fans again

 

[HisIceness]

I play pick-up Basketball, that would be a great way to confuse people.
