Around the League - 2023/24

[Balthazar]

Same thing I wonder about In and Out burger.

It's the hype and some kind of acquired taste for the people that eat it regularly. This leads to some kind of let down for people that try it for the first time.

We experience the same phenomenon here with a local poutine chain called Ashton.

I never had it as Korean food isn't a big thing around here but a Chicken Plus (Korean friend chicken) recently opened not far from where I live..I may give it a shot tonight!

Funnily enough, you’d be hard pressed to find Korean only restaurants but it’s very common for the Japanese ones to be run by Koreans so you can get some pretty good Korean food that way (it’s usually better than the Japanese food they’re making)

Serious question… why do people like Chick fil a so much?

We like Chick-fil-A sauce.

 

[The Moops]

Don't the Utah Jazz never play games on Sundays?

They used to not have home games on Sunday but that's been changed

Serious question… why do people like Chick fil a so much?

I like their shakes occasionally

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

If you are a shitty father he will.

With all the info coming out about Meruelo, he functions as a mob boss, but with a crazy amount of fewer promises. That bloke that he hired for their CEO position, Xavier Gutierrez, is straight-up fake. You can tell this coming from a mile away how fake he comes across.

but Smith will be a revelation for the NHL

I am not sure if I agree, Jeremy Jacobs is still the face of the NHL IMHO, more so than Bettman and has a ton of power. I honestly think that Bettman could be a puppet to Jacobs since if Jacobs wants something, it will be done.

10000000000000000000000000000000%, Raising Cane's is so much better and has better sauce(s) as well. That Cane sauce is better than anything I have ever had from anywhere else.

Cane sauce is best, but their chicken is not the best IMO. Last two times the braking was literally soggy and falling off the chicken. It was gross.

That's because you're asking 16-year-old kids to make food for you. I don't know how old you are mate, but I would not trust my 16-year-old self to be responsible for high quality. That's why I do not go to Firehouse Sub anymore whenever I do get fast food (which I admit is not a lot at all) because my certain location has seriously 14-year-old kids making sandwiches. I would think that your problem is a location standards problem, and why people love Chick-Fil-A (always have great managers so the food is always consistent).

This is a lot of fast food knowledge for a person who doesn’t eat fast food.

Mind blown: The Caps just put an update on the Jumbothrone about an in-game injury to one of their players.

Oh good a new staff member for Bednar to have not talked to yet

 

[Metallo]

Kucherov gets away with a nasty elbow.

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

Chick Fil A is decidedly meh. It's not bad but nothing there was better than other things you can get elsewhere. But it's always got a long line.

I do enjoy waffle fries but if I would go somewhere just for fries I'd actually eat in Arby's for curly fries.

It always amazes me how people don’t understand business transactions…

 

[Balthazar]

WTF is Detroit doing?

 

[redacted]

Matthews is going to do it

 

[dahrougem2]

Matthews is going to do it

He'll keep himself on 69 then laugh about it as he explains to Mitch Marner what that number means

 

[Pokecheque]

So will Utah keep the Coyotes' retired numbers?

It was interesting, Arizona kept all the Jets retired numbers but the Avs did not do so with the Nords.

You don’t get away with an elbow to Tom Wilson lol he paid for it don’t worry

 

[Big Z Man 1990]

The Coyotes' history as an Arizona franchise should be put on pause so that Utah can technically be an expansion team formed from Arizona's personnel (similar to the Browns/Ravens relationship in the NFL). The original Jets' history meanwhile should be given to the current Jets franchise, which would then be considered to have started in the WHA in 1972, joined the NHL in 1979, suspended operations from 1996-99, played as the Atlanta Thrashers from 1999-2011, and relocated back to Winnipeg in 2011.

I think I have a good name for the Avalanche's rivalry with the new Utah team: Rocky Mountain Madness.
