GDT: Game # 65 - New York Rangers @ Buffalo Sabres - 5pm EST, MSG

[Boris Zubov]

Here in Central Connecticut we have one of the oldest restaurants in the country that also happens to be rated top 5 in country for wings. I'm not a huge wing guy, but these are really f***ing good.

Top 5 in the Country - The Food Network! - jtimothys.com

The Food Network show Top 5 Restaurants named our Dirt Wings the #5 Top Bar Food…in the country! Wow! And they called our Buffalo Sauce “The nation’s best wing sauce!” We got the call in September 2015 that they’d like to film us for a show. We thought it might be a prank! Are we … Continued

Kane goes back to the city where he was born and arrested.

Bone-in. No breading. Sauce on the side to limit the mess and keep the chicken skin crispy.

Dry rub only.

Great poll! Thanks for reminding me to take them out of freezer! 5pm start is GREAT, will be thawed out and cooked by like say 4pm.
Looking forward to everything at that time, but have to get started painting my L.R. until then.
Gotta go! LGR's!
Kane will crush it today!

Re the Sabres 10-4 loss to Dallas:

The only player in Dallas not to record a point was Esa Lindell , and he was also a -2.

Bet he feels like a real schmuck.

Yeah. Was gonna say, boneless wings sounds like an oxymoron.

They’re pretty much just chicken nuggets in Buffalo sauce. Still dank tho.

This thread will make Ed get Chicken McNuggets, which he considers luxe food.

 

[OriginalLimbo]

Traditional. Extra crispy.

I always get them well done. For me, the worst is slimy or underdone wings.

Boneless is an ok change of pace, but the taste and experience is so different, I don’t consider them wings…because they ain’t. Those are just smaller chicken strips. We get them sometimes, but they we’re mainly for my kids. At 7 and 9, even they are starting to mature to bones.

Only if they win .

Must win.

Sometimes I think that we are all here to talk about food. That's okay though, it's kind of like the parking lot experience prior to a football game. One that I've rarely attended. This is better.

Our road to a cup starts with puck management. I know Gallant preaches it but it's amazing how bad we are.

We have no plan to get the puck out of the zone and through the neutral zone. How are they suppose to efficiently manage the puck when your only tangible option is a hailmary? There's a major disconnect somewhere. Either in coaching or execution. I'm losing faith that it gets fixed.

Some of you have a really high bar for pizza, I've got a high bar for wings. Too many of them this day are just dripping in oil, the sauce doesn't stick the the actual wing.

For the best wing you need crunch, and sauce. Most these days have neither. Stringy, drippy, overly soft should not be the defining characteristics of a buffalo wing

Another opponent that isn't as bad as they seem.

Could sneak into a WC spot but think they are running out of race track. A lot of teams to leap frog.

I like my Wings Dead

In order to lose faith, you must have previously had it.

We better dominate them

Why exactly? Because they got smoked by Dallas? It would seem to me that would make them more focused after being embarrassed at home. This is an example of unrealistic expectations that make the GDT's unreadable at times. The Rangers are still struggling to find their game and the Sabres are pretty good and desperate for a win to stay in the WC race. A late afternoon weekend road game. What could go wrong?

 

[BleedBlueNYR]

Don’t get me wrong I like wings and traditional is way better than boneless but the wing obsession in this country is getting out of control imo. They’re good just not as special as everyone makes them out to be.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Extra crispy Traditonal with the sauce on the side. That way they don’t get soggy. Extra blue cheese too thanks

Offense is strong, but they're missing Tuch. From going to a bunch of their games since I still live here, they're missing his skillset quite a bit. Quinn and Peterka aren't the same, both are not really fully NHL ready yet. On a 3 game losing streak (I think), they might play like there is nothing to lose tonight.

That said... I am very nervous about our defense getting cooked tonight because Buffalo has an insane offensive game.

I have a high bar for both. Grew up in Brooklyn, and visited Buffalo for family until I moved out here. If you get a soggy wing, it ruins it for sure. Crispy crispy and then some ass kicker sauce is my optimal wing.

Let me shake my magic 8ball of useless Chosen replies…..

Let’s see what we get today… Ah, yes. .. brilliant

I haven't had the pleasure so far, to have boneless wings. Germany is rather slow adapting. Which is great for some aspects of society, but heart attack junk food from the US? Only in big cities.

Will def. try but I like the messy part, even if you catch bones sometimes.

We have one good* pizza spot, but it's like at least 11€ a pie ... so they can go f*** themselves, I make my own pizza dough and shit.

* legit close to neapolitan style

Hope you are doing well, dude. Haven’t seen you around in a long time.

I really like boneless wings. It's a different experience, though. Like I think of them more as chicken tenders and I wouldn't put chicken tenders in a battle against wings. It's like, I like a chicken bacon ranch pizza from Dominos but Dominos pizza is not the same thing as the local shops where I grew up.

So I'm going with traditional wings as they're the only "real" wings IMO, but there are times where a fat plate of boneless wings is something I really enjoy.

For anyone in the Westchester area, check out the wings at Lazy Boy Saloon in White Plains. Their tequila citrus wings are killer. Literally never gotten a different type unless I was stealing a friend's who got another, inferior sauce/rub.
