GDT: Game #40 - New York Rangers @ Montreal Canadiens - 7pm EST, MSG

You're right lol, I'm always paranoid about cooking meat because I don't want to undercook it so I usually make it well done and then it's dry & gross

Get a meat thermometer. Problem solved.

Oh man, that really sucks, I KNOW because my Sis isn't doing too great herself. I've had a rough month myself. To ram rod car accidents from behind, and fell in my tub and busted my elbow pretty good as I got a dizzy spell coming from the concussion from the 1st accident. Could have been worse, I suppose. Oh yeah, and my eldest Dog Precious was diagnosed with a huge tumor, so yeah been rough lately.

Hang in there. This too shall pass.

Our GDT's really are the best, idk if it's because of having one of the larger fanbases or that we have lax mods; but other teams GDT's tend to be strictly hockey talk. Ours is like we're a community.

But to address your earlier point, yea it's sad. I envy you older guys who grew up before social media, dating apps, etc. It's a much different world today. I have no memory of life without the internet, iPhones were already a thing when I was still in Elementary school.

Hate to sound like a "boomer", but the world was truly better off before social media & cell phones. Thinking back on it, I have no idea how we ever got in touch with one another in our teens & 20s. I was out ALL the time. Things just worked themselves out organically.

Had to walk a couple of miles to my friends house and knock on the door to see if he was home. Good old times.

Did you grow up before Alexander Graham Bell?

It's amusing when I listen to songs about sitting around the phone waiting for your call or wondering where you are right now.

Ok im not THAT old lol. But yea I think part of the deal back then was get out maybe hop on your bike and see who is home or at the usual places. I honestly didn't use the regular phone a lot back then.

When you'd drive to your friends house and you'd need to honk for 5 minutes until they got their fat ass outside.

All this Pizza Hut talk has me really hungry now, might say who cares about the ankle injury and hop on the Peloton so I can eat a larger portion of the greatest pie known to man!

My X-ray report said it found nothing and said no soft tissue injury either, but an X-ray can't really see soft tissue very well can it? Hmm
Would have to wait a year+ for an MRI in this God forsaken country

On the bike I go so I can enjoy some guilt free Pizza Hut!

You having to pay for that MRI or is our universal health care helping out?

 

[will1066]

I honestly couldn't go back to a world without cell phones. I can maybe accept that tweener period of carrying beepers.

I sprained my back on Monday and just rode the Peloton for 50 min let’s f***ing go

My doctor, who’s retiring this year so I’ll have no family doctor just like every other person I know; suggested I pay for it because I’ll be waiting a long long time

 

[Mandar]

I do but I rarely ever use it, do you guys prefer leftover pizza cold or reheated? I feel like most people I talk to prefer it cold. I prefer it reheated and as blasphemous as it sounds, I like it reheated in the microwave lol. I find it retains its moisture better, when you reheat it on the stove or in the oven the crust gets harder, and it dries out more.

I’m a fan of reheating it….love the extra crispy way it comes out, and the crispy cheese edges.

I would think that microwaving would make it gummy or something. Leftover pizza is the best leftovers you can have.

 

[hackeyman]

I've never seen any other country's fans boo & taunt kids the way Canadians do. Canadian hockey fans are a significant part of why I became a fan of an American NHL team.

How are the Columbian hockey fans?

 

[egelband]

lol that is a surprisingly layered joke. Well done.

Hungry for more Schwartz' humor, @will1066 ..pile it on! and put some mustard on the next one.

TIL you’re Canadian. I knew you went to McGill, but I never put that together

Checks out. I'm 'murican but went to mcgill

 

[egelband]

Ben’s or Mill Basin Deli

Ben's is gone now afaik btw. Nice genteel poutine there too.

Galant and co are trying to get Halak into some kind of groove after a rough start.

Cant really blame him when going up against a team that lets up close to 4 goals per game.

They will need Halak to be a competent backup down the stretch and spell Igor at times. There are still 9 more back to backs this season and a number of 3 in 4 nights because you know, the Rangers need to lead in that category, like every season or the sun just wont rise the day after the schedule is released

this is the benefit of a nmc...get more time to work out the kinks. i have no doubt the rangers could find a way to jettison halak but the nmc encourages them to give him some extra rope.

I went there, too. 2000-04. The Habs were trash then, so I went to a lot of games.

I thought he meant Ben's in NYC.

I'm dieting, I normally eat whatever I want and play hockey 3x+ per week & workout daily. Currently have an ankle injury so I can't do much right now, so I have to diet. But today I'm going to eat yummy food but still stay under my calories. What should I eat for the game tonight?

Carlos? When are you officially signing? Please break the news here.

Now that's funny....I just got lunch from Ben's today.

Did they re-open? i thought they shut a while ago.
