NHL Mega-Mock Draft Reboot - Discussion / Draft Thread - PHASE FOUR! Part Three!

[BiggE]

Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome WWE Hall of Famer, TRISH STRATUS!!

Thanks Mean Gene! Guys, I’m thrilled to be back! Can’t say I’m particularly excited about choosing a hockey player, hockey and it’s players are like so stupid!

VM: JUST DON’T PICK A DAMN FLYER, THOSE GUYS SUCK WORSE THAN ERIC BISCHOFF!!

TS: No worries Mr McMahon. Methgator fans need some Stratusfaction,

So, without any further ado, the Jacksonville Methgators are proud to select center, DYLAN COZENS!

Maybe think twice about going into the Post-Game Thread or ever speaking of that game again. You’re all nice people and you shouldn’t do that to yourselves.

Some of us poor souls don’t have Quackverse teams. We only have the Flyers and broken expansion team dreams.

 

[Chinatown88]

Out to fetch some hot takes

 

[BiggE]

Not sure who is up next, can you help me out @Captain Dave Poulin ?

Thanks!

Stay here with the Methgators. We may be drugged out reptiles, but at least were not f***ing Flyers.

Chuck's up, and he knows Hopefully UpChuck's time is up and he goes. See what I did there?

He has tagged me in at 2 am and the last time at 4 am.

I am convinced he is a vampire. He will awake shortly.

You know what always cures the hockey blues? Merchandise. Retail therapy. Just saying. I'm a businessman. It's Garbage, but I Tried Hard.

And books. Especially books about the Flyers that focus on when they didn’t suck.

Definitely books, too.

How does someone hate Anthony Bourdain?! I loved Parts Unknown. Odd stuff indeed.

I can only assume you have never spent any time around professional chefs.

That's the thing though: he never thought of himself as an especially good chef! I don't even consider him a chef really. As far as I'm aware, he mostly just worked in steak places a long time ago. I'd consider his work more in the vein of food-cultural fusion. He was a food journalist, a writer, enamored more with the people making the food than the food itself.

It would have been so easy for him to come across as the usual uber-douche, but he approached his work with a genuine and rare sense of adventure, gravitas, giddiness, earnestness. Confident but never full of himself. Guy emerged from the womb oozing coolness.

That last sentence is an actual horror but the rest of it makes me physically ill. That's not a criticism of you - it's my reaction to all foodie shit, which needs to die in cleansing fire.

Parts Unknown was a great show, but I think I liked No Reservations a little better. It wasn’t as clean visually, but it was still great and I think you got a better sense of him going places and experiencing them for the first time. Whereas Parts Unknown seemed more polished but less new/adventurous. Quite a few of the episodes were returning to places he’d already been. I also have a certain sentimental/personal attachment to them for a few reasons.

Regardless, both were great and wouldn’t have worked with any other host. He made that show. He was one of the only celebrity deaths that really bummed me out.

Parts Unknown wasnt even about the food as much as it was about exposing the West to people and cultures from all over the world. Probably my favorite Docuseries ever and I legitimately am a better person for having watched it. No Reservations was more food centric though and if his career ended there it wouldnt have been been that important of a legacy.

He was the executive chef for years while at a French restaurant in NYC called Brasserie Les Halles.

But I went and exposed myself to other cultures - two vastly different ones - by being there. That's part of the reason I don't like these gobshites, but mostly it's because I just want people to eat their food and shut the f*** up talking about it. Sir David Attenborough talking about some weird bird in the middle of nowhere? Yes please. Some jerkoff chef - and don't kid yourself, they are all disgusting, massive jerkoffs - oohing and ahhing with their mouth full of food? F*** right off and go snort a pile, creep.

I have strong feelings.

 

[Striiker]

Damn... who picked this guy? Great pick and definitely 100% thanks to him individually.
