GDT: [ECSF Game 6] CAR@NYR- THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HELL

[toastmasterbone]

Me, Mrs. Toast, and our 6'7" crouton are in the 10th day of our Ireland, Scotland, England experience. Not only have we not stayed in any city more than 1 night (we idiots 3), we just got off the train from Edinburgh to Liverpool 15 minutes after Liverpool lost to Real Madrid. So we're standing in the middle of the platform, ring'd with our luggage, while 1000s of fans are pouring into the train station. Add to this that it's 2 minutes from midnight and I can't tell if y'all are serious about a game tonight, or if it's tomorrow. I just found out that it's Saturday.

Wait, now it's Sunday. If we have a game, someone tell me if we win.

And here I just came into the thread again to complain that 8:00 games suck.

I feel humbled.

So, we do have a game? Shit, the NHL app says 1pm Sunday.

EDIT: I see it's a 1 AM Sunday game. I get it now.

Changed time based on location

Yes. We at GMT+2 are having the game at 3 am Sunday, in two hours.

Welcome to Europe, where the game times are reported by the Metric system.

 

[toastmasterbone]

So.... I shouldn't go to bed.

I've been thinking about you guys each and every game of this series, Lempo. I don't know how y'all do it

 

[Stickpucker]

I had five guys for lunch, and my order number was 20, so Aho is guaranteed to score.


Everything else is up in the air though.

I ate 8 chicken wings and 5 tater tots for dinner (my 6 mo old got all the rest).

Canes win 8-5 in a game that feels like we're playing Toronto.

 

[surfzone365]

One road win, please!

I haven't had Five Guys in a while. I'm missing it.

 

[Pizza!Pizza!]

Good luck Canes.

I used to back in the day to watch Australian sports when I lived in Arizona (on the other side of the international date line but similar concept), but I worked 4 p.m. to midnight at the time so that helped. I could get home from work at 12:30 and some random rugby/cricket/AFL match would be on at 2 a.m. or so.

Now I'm older and just can't stay up late even if I try and have no obligations whatsoever the prior day and day afterwards. I've regularly been falling asleep in the middle of western conference playoff games this year, or taking one look at a 9:00-10:30 start time and just saying no. On the other hand, I woke up at 4:15 a.m. today and watching USA vs. Finland at 7:20 a.m. was no problem. Boo Finland! No, seriously, I sincerely hope that Valtteri Filppula can join the triple gold club tomorrow. That would be awesome for him.

 

[Stickpucker]

After tripp posted on insta giving us all a shout out how can we not win? We finish things tonight, for sure.

Well, boys ... I haven't a thing to say. Played a great game...all of you. Great game.

I guess we just can't expect to win ‘em all. I'm going to tell you something I've kept to myself for years -- None of you ever knew Tripp Tracy. It was long before your time. But you know what a tradition he is at Carolina...

And the last thing he said to me -- "stickpucker," he said - "sometime, when the team is up against it -- and the breaks are beating the boys -- tell them to go out there with all they got and win just one for the Tripper...

I don't know where I'll be then, stickpucker", he said - "but I'll know about it - and I'll be happy."​

Oh it's a restaurant!

 

[Unsustainable]

f***ing win

 

[Summer Rose]

Oh it's a restaurant!

It's a burger place. In short, it's decent but overpriced, if you want my personal opinion on it.

 

[Ginger Papa]

It can be....wink wink.

Since Christensen shut down Chucks and there is no more comeback sauce or tasty tasty peanut butter banana milkshakes ...and no more "the duke" I'm stuck with 5 guys.

And honestly I wish she kept Chucks over beasleys....plenty of other good chicken and waffle options.

Yeah, it is expensive for sure. Some of the best fast food burgers a person can get in my humble opinion though. Or at least, it's easily one of my favorites.

First one was in Arlington VA, a few blocks from my family home.

Just saw one in Dublin, adding to my persistent confusion.

 

[MisterDobz]

I predict a win tonight…

 

[Stickpucker]

OK yall.... 5 guys or char grill?

For purposes of this discussion Cookout can not be brought up.

I saw one in a town in England. Town being the key word. I was surprised. Oddly, theirs seemed larger than back home.

Europe often tries to be more America than America.

Ah, that explains my previous comment.

I actually haven't had Char Grill... guess my Burger cred is lost now in this conversation. Oops. There isn't one near me back home.

 

[VibesAlive]

I've started on whiskey. Too bad I can't taste it, well not much anyway. Can't smell bacon either, which really sucks and should be banned. f*** this Covid.
