- Thread starter Lucky Lindy
- Start date
-
Pickem has been rebuilt and TWO new NHL Survivor Pools are now open- Registration TONIGHT Saturday, March 22th - Click here to join.
HF Sportsbook has also been rebuilt and will have all March Madness events in hockey and basketball
Today’s TNT interview, this “was a hockey decision”, family always will follow you.
Changed his tune.
Changed his tune.
It's been kind of annoying watching the Dallas-Avs game with all the TNT commentators going on about his move from Carolina to Dallas
Yeah, slobbering over him with core theme bad fit Carolina. Bowness emphasized that too.
Usual talking points: Finns & “better fit”. Never any specifics why.
Bowness made a statement that Dallas is a scoring machine but last I checked Canes have almost the same amount of goals scored this year.
Oh well we have Stanky and Janky and that’s a good thing to date.
"Mikko says he looks forward to having another Finn on the ice when Heiskanen comes back."
"Mikko says he thinks whatever team he's playing for now could be 'really strong' in the playoffs."
"Mikko says the the full blood moon the other day really made him think."
"Mikko says that people want tradition during uncertain times, so this fall's color palette will feature muted colors."
I'd add:
"Mikko says, he plays better in Daylight Savings Times cities that are out West"
"Mikko says, Texas has better BBQ and Carolina's wasn't a good fit"

There is no such thing as bad BBQ but there is no way in hell Texas style is better than Carolina

I dunno, man. Gotta keep it real… well-made brisket is right up there with the best pulled pork.
If anything breaks the tie, it’s that NC sides are better (Texas “toast” is bullshit, they just throw a slice of white bread on the tray, god knows why)

I love you all but pulled pork and pork in general just does not compete with beef in any which way. I get that it is a way of life in NC but there are almost no situations where I'm choosing pork over other decent meat options

YOUR ADHERENCE TO JUDAISM OR ISLAM IS NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF.
YOUR OPINION WASN’T WRONG UNTIL YOU IMPLIED PORK AIN’T DECENT.

he just don't dig on swine, that's all
Pulled pork in NC is like fried chicken in the greater south. It’s a “way of life” but everyone’s got their own version, their own recipe, etc. We just eat it all the time, but there isn’t, to me, some sort of holy grail version that can’t be accomplished wherever (yes, tough to do whole hog at home, I know, I know, but generally that’s an exception compared to butts.)
Brisket in Texas is more of a Platonic ideal. Ask a Texan where to get the best brisket in Texas and there will be answers (I’ve never been to Texas and even I know Terry Black’s, Franklin BBQ, etc. by name).
Ask a North Carolinian the same question about pork? Lots of different answers, lots of opinions about style, etc., but no one ideal. Hence my comparison to fried chicken in the South. I’m just as liable to say my favorite pulled pork is my dad’s than to name a specific place. (My dad’s pulled pork on a Martin’s potato roll with Jim’s Own Sauce and some grocery store slaw would be my death row meal.)
So basically, I prefer the “pulled pork” culture or whatever, because generally I like B+ pulled pork better than B+ brisket. But if I’m making a food pilgrimage out of it, take me to the iconic Texas places over NC any day.

As a whole I agree. But a pork shoulder takes to smoke so much better than other meats. Brisket is great also but honestly you get more flavor from the seasoning than from the smoke.

I mean, the best brisket is going to be like the best pulled pork. You're never going to find it at a restaurant, because with producing large quantities comes sacrifices in quality.
The best brisket is going to come from someone's backyard.
The best pulled pork comes from my yard.

I’m not an expert, but when it comes to brisket I think I disagree on that. There’s a process/science to it that it seems like some of the better BBQ meccas in Texas have down pat.
I don’t doubt your abilities when it comes to pork, however. Let me know when I can come over.

Only in this forum could there be two threads discussing BBQ simultaneously.

I’m not gonna say there isn’t great pulled pork out there. I’m sure there is, it’s just in general pulled pork, or pulled meats don’t do it for me.
Ribs? Amazing. Really good pork chop? Sign me up. But if I have the choice between something pork or a steak, brisket, burger, all beef dog, etc. I’m gonna go with the beef more often than not.
Bacon I also find to be terribly overrated. Not that it’s bad, I’m just not a OMG BACON PUT IT ON EVERYTHING type person. Like it’s fine but the world needs to calm down about it.

YEAH, PEOPLE ACTING LIKE BACON IS A HOLY GRAIL OR SOME SHIT PROBABLY DIDN’T HAVE ANY REAL SAUSAGE OR ANOTHER SMOKED MEAT PRODUCT.
Ok, I love a good BBQ discussion as much as the next Canes fan, but...
Mark down today, March 18, as the first day I turned on a random NHLRadio show and didn't immediately hear some version of "...after coming to Dallas, Rantanen has..." Every. Day.
Praise be.
