Nothing says Happy Holidays like a Zamboni Gravy Boat….

Upscale Holiday Meal: "Pass the gravy, please."

Hockey Fan Holiday Meal: "Gimme that Bird Sauce Zoni Boat!"

I desperately want it, and I REALLY want it to drive down the table under its own steam somehow.

When the Stars retired Mike Modano’s jersey we were in Dallas visiting in-laws. Gave some money to charity to have my son ride on the Zamboni at first intermission. It is Dallas so they put straight up strippers on the Zamboni with my son (10 ish at time) and couple other kids. My boy was just sheepishly grinning the whole time. He started collecting Zamboni’s. Haha.

Because I have a hockey problem, I was reading some fancistats (EvolHock) over coffee and I happened to sort the entire league on even strength defense. Top name on the list was....

TVR.

at 8.2 'EVD'. Next was Alex Vlasic at 8.1, third was...(looks, does a double-take)...Jason Robertson with 7.9 arbitrary even strength defensive value.

Lotta reasons not to take it as gospel, but homie is a good defender either way.

(On the Kepetels, Alexeyev was second at 5.1 arbitrary even strength defensive value, and Fever in third at 3.8. We don't want to talk about Alex Ovechkin's number.)

Was this last year?

That'd be neat! They had a prior gravy boat giveaway, maybe 2016/17-ish. It's somewhat small - doesn't hold alot of gravy - but a nice collectible.

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

This is a MUST have.

 

[Calicaps]

This is a MUST have.

I am begging for someone to grab me one. Please please please!

 

[Ridley Simon]

This is a MUST have.

Us PST ppl may not get in one piece!

LOL.

 

[DWGie26]

LOL.

Or fly out east, go to game, and ensure you get one.

I have never in my life thought or said "I really need that gravy boat".

This is a MUST have.

I might, with some convincing, be willing to trade my Jagr bobble head for one of those.

I will NOT be talked into trading my got milk carpenter growth poster tho.

As someone who knows the family who ran Amphora in Vienna: Reported

Think they opened something up in Herndon after closing the Vienna spot.

Sounds like a boring life.

Has many a late night meals at Amphora in the late 80s/early 90s

 

[Random schmoe]

I went the Shoneys route until the late 90s/early 00s, before I was introduced to Amphora. But I was also in Springfield. #SummertimeMadness
