Blues Vs. Red Wings Pre-Party
About 100 memories just came flooding back.
We're kind of known for our Game Day Threads. The GDTs put GT on the map, so to speak. They get a little crowded, the language gets steamy. Sometimes people have a little too much to drink, they get loud and someone next door calls the police. And invariably people start clamoring for them earlier and earlier.
So we got in the habit of putting up posts where people could gather before the main gathering and start talking hockey. And odd photoshops and new combinations of curse words for what we think of Detroit. It only seems fitting that these posts are now going to be known as the pre-parties. Welcome to the first one of the year.
One note: PLEASE DO NOT POST ANY GAME INFORMATION IN THIS POST! SOME PEOPLE WHO NEED PROFESSIONAL HELP ARE TRYING TO WATCH THE GAME "LIVE ON TAPE" TONIGHT. SO DON'T RUIN IT.
You probably know we like to keep things a little informal, but sometimes we might throw out a topic and see where it leads us. It's just before lunch time. Let's talk food. When you gather round the old television or when you're down at the game or you're in a local watering hole that has an open kitchen after the game, is there any food that you connect with enjoying hockey? Could be just what you like eating with beer, like chicken wings. I wish I was eating chicken wings right now.
Feel free to discuss hockey food, the Wings, the Blues, how Dan should bring us all back a T-shirt or jar of pickled herring for us from Sweden. Whatever. It's your pre-party. Live it up. The GDT will be arriving at 1 p.m. St. Louis time.

Hockey "Food"
Just popped the top on one of them new-fangled “Bud Light Golden Wheat” beers.
Pretty good. Gives Bud Light some actual substance to it. I like it.
Annnnnnnnnd begin the shit-giving for me drinking Bud Light.
No beer and no TV make Homer...something something.

bud light
dude. I have “Kirkland signature” (costco brand, for those of you keeping track at home) “handcrafted lagers and ales”
It might work
Un ananas (truculent) qui parle? Impossible!
I... um...
I have a bottle of water. Dangit. Stupid work.
Hockey food? Those soft, hot, buttery pretzels. Mmmmm… I do like the Wetzel Dogs, too – big beef dog wrapped in pretzel and butter.
One of these will lop a day off of your life expectancy, or so I’ve heard. I think I’ll die when I’m 40.
Reporter: There`s a "stamp out the Beatles movement" underway in Detroit. What are you going to do about it?
Paul McCartney: We`re going to start a campaign to stamp out Detroit.

yeah, there’s no money coming in, but i can drink during the day and play with an adorable puppy!

I'd rather die from butter overdose...

butter overdose
one of the more delicious ways to die. We also would have accepted bacon overdose

Wings
Any day we play Detroit I like to eat wings as savagely as possible. Its cathartic and I have issues. I will shortly be at Show Mes in St Chuck pounded beers, destroying wings, and getting warned by management if things are going the Blues way.
Fuck Detroit
Greetings
Fuck Detroit to you all, sitting here at work, eating lunch, hoping to find a way to follow today’s game

Does anyone know anywhere in springfield (MO) that would be playing the blues game?!

Apparently GameCenter's blacked out...

Seriously.

Yeah, you’re right. That is a pretty valid point.

But by God I’m gonna watch the game even if I’m sick all over myself. (I know for a lot of you this is “YEah, so what else is new?” But I remind you this is non-alcohol aided.)

Just checking.
Could we spread some blame to the Cubs?
It’s just kind of fun to kick them when they’re down.

thank god, because since I’ve gotten into some trouble I have to meet with the building president at 3pm, so now i’ll only miss minimal game time. Because now I can leave right after to view this on my friends 5’3" television screen.

Hey GT Staff:
I know you were trying to set up a separate thing for the guys watching on DVR delay to maintain the suspense, but when I go to the homepage the first thing I see is a giant scoreboard with the result of the game….
