I’ve only had a couple of brews, but even in each brew there’s been huge variance in the quantity of awesome-per-bottle. I’ve had a bunch of No. 9 and they’re usually great, I love the oak taste, but sometimes it’s just awful. I wonder if they get skunked on the way to the store.

Speaking of Northeastern Microbreweries, anybody here ever had some Shipyard out of Portland ME? Or Gritty’s? Or Allagash? Or Sea Dog? Lotta good beer up Maine way.

Shipyard is possibly my favorite beer. Love that stuff. Sea Dog is pretty solid too, but Shipyard has a special place in my gullet.

I feel the same way. Shipyard export is great, and I think that their summer ale is the best summer ale I’ve ever had, their IPA is up there too. It kills me that I can never find it anywhere around here.
Although its not quite as good as Shipyard some of the restaurants in Clarendon, especially Restaurant 3 and Harry’s, sometimes have Allagash White on tap.Can be a bit pricey though.

Yeah. I thought it was almost like Kona IPA when I had it a couple weeks ago, but I gave it another try and thought it was a little less harsher than that, more in the few MHs (9, Summer and Autumn seasonals) I’ve had.

Jesus fucking christ. I’m seriously sick of this crease clearing defenseman meme. God damn. Yes, the problem is we couldn’t get the puck out of our own end. If we get a guy that can pass the puck you don’t have to clear the crease. Clearing the crease is soooooooooo ten years ago. Get your head out of your ass. You need skaters and guys that are good with the puck.

Is anyone still listening? I take issue with the idea that a sandpaper guy is more effective at clearing the zone than a finesse guy – the applicable skill is the ability along the boards and in the corners in the 1-on-1 battles, no? That and making a good outlet pass to relieve pressure on the forecheck, which lends itself to finesse players more than sandpaper, right? Not that you don’t need both, but I don’t agree with this guy at all.

I’d like to dig up this quote from Gould Old Days:
All I’m saying is physicality is a means. Scoring goals is an end. Preventing goals is an end. There’s more than one means to that end. If someone is good at scoring and preventing goals, but isn’t physical, that someone is a good hockey player. If someone is physical but isn’t good at scoring or preventing goals, that person is not a good player.
by David M. Getz on Dec 19, 2009 6:58 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
Exactly. Can’t agree hard enough. I wonder how many of Juice’s “hits” are after the guy already moved the puck, thus being largely ineffective at doing anything in the D zone. Finishing hits is fine, but sometimes you need to get there before the puck is gone; especially in your own zone. And you can’t do that if you can’t skate.

And this Habs-Isles game is trippy. It’s very loud and all of the noise is pro-Montreal, so trying to reconcile that w/ the giant Isles logo at center ice is more than a little difficult.

I have much hatred for so many teams, I’m sure it’s hard to keep track :P At last check it was basically all of the East except for Montreal, although I don’t loathe Ottawa as much as I should.

My hatred of Buffalo comes from their fans and sports announcers’ homer-ism(I am looking at you Rick Jeannerette).
Most of my hockey team hatred comes from Old Patrick Division Rivalries: Pitt, NJ, especially Philly. I hate the Leafs having lived in tyhis area all my life. Only Canadian NHL team I despise. I can’t really think of any Western teamsI don’t like. I do miss the Jets though and can’t get used to them in Phoenix

I have plenty of hatred for the Eastern Conference teams myself.
Pittsburgh is my most hated teams, no ifs, ands, or buts
NY Rangers — from NY, overhyped, plus annoying and I remember the series that John Van Biesbrooke single-handedly saved for them vs the Caps. (If they ever got Crosby, I’d probably hate them worse than Pittsburgh)
NY Islanders — so much heart break over the years. I fear they will rear their ugly heads again soon
Philthy — enough said
Buffalo — while I don’t hate them per se, their fans are very obnoxious when they come out to Verizon.
Carolina — they’re like the annoying sibling who your parents like better. (Except this year they’re so bad they’re hardly worth the trouble.
The other South East teams aren’t worth the trouble to hate (but if they got good, they would be)
The only Western Conference team I hate is the Columbus Blue Jackets and I have hated them since Nov 1 of this year. May they miss the playoffs this year.

Super human Marty Brodeur getting lit up on the second of back to backs. Couldn’t love it more. I guess last year put to rest the argument that he was being used too much in the regular season and burnt out for the post-season, but this still doesn’t make much sense to me. Give the guy a rest.

Oh, geez – I didn’t see it was 3-1!
I don’t necessarily buy that the argument was put to rest – he had a nice long break when he was recovering from surgery, it just took him longer to burn out.
But yeah, I don’t get it either; even a young goalie has trouble with back-to-back starts, I’ll never understand why they insist on playing him until he drops. Even Buffalo is going w/ Lalime tonight against the ’guins.

Well he rested all year and still didn’t make it out of the first round. He went 7 but wasn’t shut-down-Brodeur. He hasn’t been that guy since 2003 so I think it just might be age and the loss of the Scotts, but last year was a good control to see if he needed to rest more games during the regular season.

I get that awareness on the ice is important – but why should he have to be aware of something like that? He should NEVER have to assume that someone’s going to come and try to kill him by hitting him from behind. He just shouldn’t. And Koci never should have been on the ice at that point in the game (or any point of any NHL game, but you all know how I feel about that).

Becca's sad tale of Leafs fandom
…true :P and depending on how fast you read, this might not take long.
I’m not sure how many people here remember Sylvain Cote, but during his first stint with the Caps he was my favorite player – had his jersey, the whole deal. When he went to the Leafs I was heartbroken, so being young and impressionable I started rooting for Toronto.
I kind of adopted the whole team (I have a tendency to do that) and grew to love a lot of them, like Steve Thomas, Alyn McCauley, CuJo and of course Sundin. Kaberle was always fun to watch and he’s the last remaining player from that team. He has a special place in my heart because of that, I can’t explain it.
The end :)

My Toronto love had faded long before I picked up the Habs! Cote left for Dallas after less than 2 years so…I followed him there instead. And then they slowly took apart the TO team I’d liked so there wasn’t much point.

Kabby is soft, one dimensional, and he won the ASG shooting accuracy competition by saucer passing the puck to the targets.
And most importantly, he vetoed the trade that would have sent Jeff Carter out of PHI because his sorry ass didn’t want to move from TOR. Think about that. He’s the singular reason the Jeff Carter is still a Flyer.

Well, I went to school in Montreal, and when I was up there they were fun to watch – scrappy underdogs, much more entertaining than they are now. I still remember the spontaneous parade that started on Ste Catherine street after the Habs stormed back to beat the B’s in ’04 after being down 3-1 in the series.
It’s why I love Jose to this day. And they had Saku Koivu – you can’t hate Koivu. Classy, classy guy…stalked him in a bar once, then said something highly intelligent like “a;slkdfja;sldk” and he couldn’t have been nicer.

Are you joking? That is so much better. TOR is nowhere near PHI in terms of teams that Caps fans hate. Carter is going to be good for a long time, Kaberle is one dimensional and on the tail end of his career. I wish that trade happened. Plus, it also probably stops the Pronger acquisition.

True. I can see that. But it’s former GM JFJ’s fault for being a fucking moron and giving Kabby a no-trade clause in the first place. Guy’s been in the same place his whole career, can you really blame him for not wanting to leave?
If anything I see it as tremendous loyalty to prefer a perennial loser that will never win to a team that could, with the right pact w/ the devil, be a contender.

Sabres on a 4-3 to try to avoid the gimmick
by Doncosmic on Dec 19, 2009 9:40 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Sabres had a power play in the last 2 minutes of regulation AND in overtime, blew both and lost in the shootout. Small consolation – Crosby missed his first shootout goal of the year.

Gustavsson gets his shutout. I like that guy, good for him.

Per Corey: Schultz-Green, Poti-Jurcina, Sloan-Alzner
and Sasha moves up to the top line ’cos they need some offense on the top line.

At the expense of Alzner-Sloan? That’s asking a lot of King Karl.
by David M. Getz on Dec 19, 2009 9:52 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs
It also limits his minutes, unless they want Sloan skating 20min, which I doubt.

Nah, PK and PP are where the minutes really get differentiated and Alzner can play PK without Sloan.

Good call, but I’m hoping that differentiation is unnecessary.

Of course, and I’m hoping Alzner gets more than 15 minutes, but I’m not that confident in either.

Everytime I think Grapes is wearing the worst suit in history, he outdoes himself. Does he rob thrift store furniture for this fabric?

And here I was thinking ol’ Grapes was actually kind of understated tonight.

I know a really good interior designer who can help him with his fabric selection.

No, he looks like a sofa from the thrift shop.

As usual, the Penguins and the Devils find a way to win games. Grr!
In any case, no matter how great they both will be, one of them will be in 4th place. Even though the team who finishes third in the Eastern Conference, no matter who they are, are a worse team then them.

Maybe I’m too sensitive to it, but we’re watching the pre-game on HNIC and the announcer says as they’re cutting to break re:Alex Ovechkin, “Don’t show ’em the curve!” as he’s sitting there on a box smiling at the camera and twirling around a stick as if he’s backstage at a concert or something.
Is that a phrase I’m not familiar with, or were they making yet another subtle dig, as if he might be using an illegal curve?

Yeah, but I think it’s a good-natured one. Hopefully.
Meanwhile…it’s 10:00 and I still have the HNiC feed. Do we think maybe it won’t get blacked out and we can have the CBC feed?? Because that would be awesome.

I was watching that too. I’ll give Ron the benefit of the doubt and say he was joking more than anything. Don Cherry brought it up last week, so it may have still been on his mind.
