Pre-Game Talk: The Windy City (Chicago….not Regina)

[Bring Back Bucky]

No need to be fair. It isn't fair that honey-infused butter sounds so delicious and is so very unhealthy in the amounts it looks like they are serving. It's literally just a big old chunk of honey-infused butter in the middle of the sandwich?

Yep !

 

[Stoneman89]

Lots of former Oilers tonight : Athanasiou, Khaira, C.Jones and Stalock.

That should help.

My boss goes to Chicago every couple years and says the deep dish is just insane good. I want to try it so bad!!! That looks ridiculous

I can attest that when you spend 90% of your time in the conference center and the only food available is lukewarm deep dish pizza which you try to eat while sitting on some free stairs somewhere... well... let's just say I can't even look at the stuff. I'm ruined.

 

[bucks_oil]

Lol... I see I have some support.

The pizza in Italy will disappoint you, it's not what you think it is compared to the North American style saw

Yeah, it's neopolitan, which is more chewy and dough-y. Not my cup of tea. Nothing beats the new york style; however, really want to try the New Haven pizza which would be right down my alley.

Bar pie is the ultimate. Thin, cracker-like crust, but just sucks that nobody around here in Vancouver sells it.

I feel like you need to be at a restaurant or home to eat the stuff, because it's so greasy and messy. You can't just go for a walk downtown, grab a slice to go, and not have to carry 20 napkins with you.

Sheeeeh. Tell me how you really feel

I don’t like Red Lobster granted I’m just not a sea food guy in general.

Plus the Red Lobster in Regina is pretty much right in or on the edge of the hood.

 

[FlameChampion]

I assume our lineup hasnt been posted yet?

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

Hey!!!!!! Lay off my fat ancestors they like their food dammit



Hmmmmmm. That’s disappointing….


Could be worse. Could be sushi granted probably more healthy. But the texture and taste is enough to make any sane man puke.

Sorry sushi lovers

Man I love sushi.

Ham and pineapple for the W. The perfect blend of different flavors. Something about how it sets off a good pizza sauce, cheese, and a salty ham. Like a taste explosion. It just works to those that like it.

Interesting article;

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z2vftrd#:~:text=The%20origin%20of%20the%20Hawaiian&text=But%20the%20Hawaiian%20pizza%2C%20topped,Greek%20immigrant%20called%20Sam%20Panopoulos.

At the time Pineapple was never seen here. They weren't imported. So that Pineapple here was a novelty, and a delicacy. It also spawned Sweet and Sour Chicken.

As the article mentions its odd to object to pineapple on pizza because its a fruit. Tomatoes are fruit.

Add some hot peppers to the Hawaiian and it's perfect!

Don’t know why I can’t get into it… do you recommend a certain one?

Plus the Red Lobster in Regina is pretty much right in or on the edge of the hood.

Lmao bingo! It’s so sketchy! I wouldn’t eat there ever personally.

Lol awe man. Hahah sorry to hear that.

I know this off topic, but when's the next Oilers game?....

It’s exactly 2 and half hours before JOEY’s happy hour where you can get some cheap bomb dry ribs.

I wonder if it's going to be a game time decision situation.

Probably spent some time seeing how Holloway was doing after practicing and such.

 

[Porkleaker]

Flames have such an easy schedule, ease into the season with only 6 games played and 3 days off here and there...gtfo!
That's how they don't get injured.

Anyways, expect McDavid things tonight, just win!

 

[tardigrade81]

Lol definitely turned into a food thread. Always does when I create them I’m fat. I like food

Anyway….. Campbell going tonight. Hawks 5v5 isn’t that great. I honestly think Campbell has a great night and we win this 3-1 like last night

Stalock’s gonna score, isn’t he

 

[brentashton]

Stalock’s gonna score, isn’t he

On himself.

 

[bobbythebrain]

Any word if Holloway is in?

 

[Anarchism]

J McCabe....18.43 toi against Florida 3.00 shorthanded 5 blocked shots 4 penalty mins though--probably still getting up to speed. Can play RD or LD equally well.

Entwistle= 8.53, primary assist on winning goal when elevated to third line, +1,....can take faceoffs as well...

Cmon man. Italian pizza is THE best.

Any word if Holloway is in?

Game time decision?

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

No grosser organization in the league than these guys. Leon, Connor, and Ryan should go all Sam Gagner on them.

 

[Cloned]

Still no GDT???

 

[brentashton]

Still no GDT???

We’re rebels now. We live on the edge.

 

[tardigrade81]

No game thread…. What the poop?
