Big hockey fan. Probably my favorite sport.
A little disappointed with my Caps this season, but look out, we’re coming on.
[I mean, come on, after watching hockey.......
who could like baseball, or basketball, or, (oh yeah) football for that matter].
Would like to find a decent ice wine to try, (don’t really know why though).
Will skip the Winter Gold Apple.

QOTD2: Nothing better than an Iron City (I.C.) Light in the ‘burgh!

Oh my poor ill-fated Sharks. What a lousy way for them to finish what was easily the best season in franchise history. I’m still a little bitter about it. Nice that you mentioned Owen Nolan too. Cool!

Great show and great guests Gary. Just one thing, and I know it’s been mentioned before, but I have to say it – Kirsch and Kir Royale are two different drinks. There is no Kirsch Royale. I only mention it because Kirschwasser is cherry-flavored and Kir Royale is cassis-flavored so I get a little confused on your tasting notes.

QOTD 1: I already love hockey but I can’t seem to get anyone else interested in it so I’m the wrong guy to ask.

QOTD 2: Beer. Even the 8 dollar swill they serve at the Shark Tank will do.

QOTD1…please make the hockey season end in April. Does it really need to be played in June? Isn’t June a summer month.

QOTD2…Ice cold lemonade. What else does one drink at a hockey game in June?

Gary, great show, but you really gotta do something about the miller lite bucket.

Great show as always. Now I have a Canadian show to watch about hockey.

QOTD1: Living in Montreal, its almost a religion to be a habs fan.

QOTD2: 4L pitchers of beer at the local pub. That about does it for me!

Gary – that is the loudest chair in the world. When you leaned back to solicit the QOTDs, it was crackling like a fire.

QOTD1: Not much. I do like hockey, i just don’t get around to watching sports on TV.

QOTD2: Drink of choice is a good ol’ bottle of water. Boring huh?

Gary I am loving these hockey theamed shows! Gueat guests!

QTOD 1- I am a huge Caps fan. Give the Caps the Fenway game against Boston this year. I went to the Jan. 16th game this year at Verizon. It was great. They are the two best teams in the east and only getting better. Who wouldnt want to see Ovie v. Thomas on new years day?!

QTOD 2- Jan. 16th was a day after my birthday. I have never really like the Hook and Ladder IPA, but it was great on tap! IPA is an essential hockey beer!

BTW, Go Caps and congrats to the Pens, except for Crosby dissing the whole Red Wing team.

Nate the intern! He needs to be on more of the episodes!!

Nice show eh! Unfortunately they had a gazillion pinots to choose from downstairs and you ended up with the alcohol bomb.

QOTD #1: I’m a huge fan as it is but am guessing it may take a quick visual tutorial at the beginning of the game to explain the rules to the new fans. Of course, if they go to a “live” game, they will be hooked.

QOTD #2: If I’m in a suite, wine of course. If I’m out in the regular seats with the riff-raff, Diet Coke. I don’t do crap like Bud Light.

Cheerio!

I enjoyed the fact that the show seemed to be how most of us drink wine – sitting around, chatting about sports, friendships, etc – then commenting on the wine – Great Show….

QOTD – reduce the price of admission to a game….

QOTD = reduce the price of drinks at the games….

QOTD#1: Stop all the fights. I dont understand it. I pretty much dislike hockey for that very reason….they are supposed to be adults on the ice, not little freakin kids.
QOTD#2: I would love to have some cider if I went to a Hockey game.
Thanks for the show!

QTOD1: I’m a Hockey Fan, but the NHL needs to get off Versus and back onto ESPN even for less money so that the sport can reach more homes and grow. Also, they need to stop scheduling the Final up against the NBA Finals. Right now the NHL is going to lose that battle. I allow love watching the Olympics because of the Big Ice. That may be just because that it is something different rather than an Improvement for the NHL.

QTOD2: I.C. Light

Woah woah woah!

Maybe I haven’t been watching long enough… and… I mean… I probably would have guessed you as such… But, for me, it was a refreshing revalation to hear that you are big into fantasy sports, Gary. I mean, the wines were cool (that Malbec sounds good), but I was waiting for you to tell us the details of the trade.

When are you starting up the WLTV Fantasy Football League?

QOTD: I live real close to the HP Pavilion in San Jose, and have been to quite a few Sharks games over the years, but I would not consider myself a hockey fan. To me, the problem is that the badass action of live hockey gets lost in translation on TV. Maybe the digital transition will fix that…

QOTD2: At the games, I drink plastic pints of Coors Light.

I’m an old hockey fan since before the expansion when I think the game was alot more exciting. Especially the Chicago Blackhawks with ‘the golden jet’, Bobby Hull, Stan Miketa, and goalie, Glen Hall. Now that was HOCKEY! Oh yes I almost forgot to mention Nesterinko. Too bad we need passports to visit our friends to the north; may I see your papers please.
Smell it first. TR

I usually agree with Sam above. Sports are so advertised and the season is sooooo long. It’s still very expensive to go to a game. Parking is a ripoff, etc.etc. I could be home watching WLTV!

QOTD 1: I do enjoy hockey, but I don’t like it much on TV and going to games is out of control expensive. We get up to the Boston Garden occasionally but the overall experience isn’t great.

QOTD 2: Guinness if they have it, otherwise water.

QOTD #1: I am a hockey fan but I’d be a much bigger one if we had an NHL team in Seattle

QOTD #2: During the last hockey game I attended, the stadium was giving away free Budwieser energy drinks they were testing out. We had a lot of them. They tasted terrible but it was a great game. I’m going with that.

Great show Gary LOVED the random old school hockey name dropping. The Nordiques were killer in NHL 94 with Sakic, Sundin and Nolan on the top line.

QOTD1 – Love the sport already but bring another team to Ontario
QOTD2 – Beer!

Keep it up, more hockey!

O Canada!

The canadian contingency representin’!

Hey I’m from Québec, Canada, about a half hour from Cowansville…
Too bad the apple wine sucked. Luckily we had to great chaps representing us.

QOTD: Personally, I find most major sports, kinda like the music industry, have lost touch with the art of playing. The product seems so diluted in a sea of advertisement that I find it hard to appreciate pop culture for its lack of genuine enthusiasm. I always wonder if the players are working or playing…

Ciao!

GV the wine tasting coach!

QOTD 1 — loved it in the early 70s, haven’t been to a game since an exhibition in Orlando in 1990! I guess it would have to be more available and I would need more time!

QOTD 2 — whatever draft there is
