ya its my 21st and thats what my friends purchased. also gouing to JMU helps with the being used to type for this, im pumped for the caps game
also 5 of those shots were after midnight last night so im not quite the camp that it may seem. but no friday classes is a blessing of choosing your college classes
I haven’t done a dozen shots of southern comfort since 1994!

12 shots by 5pm? Wow…I really hope it’s your 21st birthday.
Oh and soco is great with pineapple juice and a splash of grenadine. Yum.
I’m a chilled SoCo and lime gal myself.

I’m not a big fan of limes, so I stick with the fruits that I like – pineapples and cherries.
I’m such a girl when it comes to alcohol, but I guess it helps that I’m a girl.
Aye.
SoCo’s nice because you can shoot it and not feel like a total pussy. Like Irish Mist.
That said, if I’m shootin’ and choosin’, it’s tequila all the way.
Japers' Rink: Hockey blogging from the most powerful city in the world
Tequila would be what we shoot when we tailgate before Maryland football games. See you need the tequila to get you through the game because God knows you don’t want to watch that team sober! yikes.
Come to a JMU football game, You will find any type of alcohol invented and it is quite impressive. We were good last year but going back to sucking this year means more and more drinking again. we almost beat the terps though
I got so drunk in HS once that I decided to funnel SoCo. Very, very bad idea.

Put him in. Now. You’re jinxing us. Anytime anyone has a goalie playing the Caps you must play him. Sitting him guarantees a solid game. Do it.

I think this is the first time out this year for this D lineup. IMHO this is the way they should look until Alzner re-arrives:
52-26
3-23
2-55
I like those pairs as well. I’d like to see 27 replace 23 when he’s ready (and the cap space is available).

I’m just saying if I had my druthers that’s how it would shake out. Obviously it’s all dependent on who moves where, but in a perfect world we keep 2 and 26, put 23 or 4 in the seventh slot, and put 27 with 3.

Right. But a) you watch a shitload more AO than Kovy (I bet Kovy breaks sticks too, in fact, I know I’ve seen him do the exact same thing AO does) b) AO puts a ton of torque on his sticks when he shoots so it’s natural that they’ll break and c) AO shoots more than anyone else in the league.

It comes wrapped in this yellowish looking paper to make it even more vintage looking. It’s supposed to look ancient though, it’s named after an Abbey\monastery in Belgium.

What’s the alcohol %?
If consequences dictate the course of action, then it doesn't matter what's right, it's only wrong if you get caught. If consequences dictate the course of action, then I should play God...
How does it taste? High alcohol beers tend to taste a little fruity for me.
If consequences dictate the course of action, then it doesn't matter what's right, it's only wrong if you get caught. If consequences dictate the course of action, then I should play God...
the higher the alcohol generally the more residual sugars left over from fermentation… I don’t know if fruity is the word I’d use for high alcohol beer… but a lot do actually use fruit so I guess I can see that…
Fruity probably isn’t the right word but I couldn’t think of a better one.
If consequences dictate the course of action, then it doesn't matter what's right, it's only wrong if you get caught. If consequences dictate the course of action, then I should play God...
Yeah high % doesn’t = fruity taste, esp with Belgian Triples. This beer is just OK. It’s like a B+ for me but it is really good for the price.
It’s high quality with a nice crisp malt and high hop taste on the palate. Like a lot of my favorite Belgian triples there is a nice spicy finish that lingers after a sip.
One guy just drove his semi as a float. I guess semis are cool.
Hmm...still thinking...
I think there is a bit of a hint of fruit but it’s more like sugar to me. I have a hard time analyzing fruit\sugar because even eating straight sugar isn’t too sugary for me.
One guy just drove his semi as a float. I guess semis are cool.
Sugary or sweet is probably a better term. I studied in Spain and they had a couple places with tons of beer from all over Europe. Of course I went in and tried all the highest alcohol % beers on the menu. Didn’t take too long to realize higher alcohol % is not necessarily a good thing with beer.
If consequences dictate the course of action, then it doesn't matter what's right, it's only wrong if you get caught. If consequences dictate the course of action, then I should play God...
Yeah it has to be done right. I’m on the biggest Belgian kick ever right now. They have awesome yeast and really know how to make a high alcohol % beer. Nothing really tastes as good as a triple to me now.
If you get a chance check out Piraate. Excellent, excellent beer.
One guy just drove his semi as a float. I guess semis are cool.
I really don’t like most belgians… Chimay blue’s about as far as it goes for me, far too malty in general, and I like Dry, hoppy, and (sometimes) spicey beers… depending on my mood I’ll even take something kinda roasty but that’s generally not my style… dry and hoppy! or super-cheap… it was all miller high life last caps game ($6/ 6pack + beer bong = happy game!)
I sort of like everything except yuengling. I can get down on some cheap beers. Miller High Life\Natty Bo is where it’s at as far as cheapness goes for me.
I was all about the super dark stouts for a long time. Oatmeals, any Rouge Stout, etc but these Belgians are just awesome. It’s great buying living beers…they have that home brew freshness.
One guy just drove his semi as a float. I guess semis are cool.
I think both words are fine to use. Malty describes more of a sugary, sweet, with an edge and fruity can describe all sorts of different fruit tastes.

Hopefully the bug isn’t going through the locker room. With as much time as Backs, Semin and OV seem to spend together, I’m guessing they might be feeling a bit under the weather.
Wouldn’t be surprised if they got a milder dose of the bug. Backstrom has been off the last two games (today and Saturday).
Here, Sasha missed Monday’s practice. Came back for Tuesday’s practice and has been out ever since. Now, Boudreau reports he’s both ill and sore. (Could that be a “bad” translation? Could Semin have reported that he’s sore when he’s achy from the flu?) Or did he get injured at practice on Tuesday? Or is just the fact that doing a hard practice when sick took too much out of him?)

Any recommendations on who Boudreau should use on the PP instead of who they’re using? Or should we call them the “Powerless Play”? That was pathetic. No goals scored and one shortie against them.
(Love the picture, BTW).
To be fair, one guy was sick, or sore, or something. Add a relatively ineffective 8 and 19 who each spent 9 minutes (or more) on the unit could answer some of it.

Yes, we know Semin is sick. I wonder if Semin referred to himself as “sore” when talking to Boudreau when he’s probably has body aches from the flu.
I also wonder if Backstrom and Ovi could have a milder dose of whatever it is that’s ailing Semin. Backstrom’s been off lately. He was definitely off on Saturday and certainly off today.

what do we think about GMGM pulling a Peter Chiarelli and dealing something to stir the pot earlier than later?
Then again maybe it is the bug running through the guys, they did look slow tonight.
Promote the game, it's the NHL, not SCHL
I’d say it’s the latter, but for S&G’s sake if it’s the former, there’s not a lot of options to do right now. 23-26 are presumably being given playing time for such a purpose, and if you can’t move them, that leaves the forwards, which are (I think) slim pickings.
14-16 are coming back from injury, 17 is playing his first (presumably) healthy year in a couple years 15 is dinged, 10 may be emerging into a two-way player.
All roads I think still lead to the Nyls bottleneck right now. If there’s more to his conditioning stint and he gets moved, then I think a couple moves (reassigns and a trade for a roster player) might follow.

Did we miss this?
Ovechkin slew footed Peverley. Not suspendable, but worthy of fine????

If he did slew foot (that’s what the penalty at the end was), according to the Artyukhin ruling it IS suspendable. But that means Campbell will probably give him the Kunitz special.

That was the last penalty of the game, right?
One guy just drove his semi as a float. I guess semis are cool.
Yeah, the announcers were talking about how Ovechkin tripped Peverley on that hit. I couldn’t actually tell if he did or didn’t.

I want to see another replay. I thought AO had already taken Peverly off his feet with his shoulder and the leg was more incidental follow through. If he didn’t use his leg to take Peverly’s legs out I don’t have a problem but if he did slew foot him that needs to end immediately.
If consequences dictate the course of action, then it doesn't matter what's right, it's only wrong if you get caught. If consequences dictate the course of action, then I should play God...
It wasn’t a slew foot. He checked him and then Peverly fell over his leg.

mmmmm I think I’m gonna have to disagree on this one. He may have fallen over the leg, but OV’s leg definitely initiated the fall.
He followed through with his check while Peverly was leaning against his leg. Should Ovi let his left leg go behind him while his body is going forward?
There is a reason he can play so aggressive and not get injured — it’s because he knows and has the strength the stand his ground.

Came here to post about this. Canadians seem to be obsessed with the “Ovie is a dirty player” schtick. I don’t see it, I dont’ get it.
Maybe play with an edge, be a little more physical -- maybe be more of a prick out there.
dirty player n., colloq: A hard-ass who is not Canadian.
