QOTD1: Not an issue, I’m in Detroit, Go Wings get them next year. (And Bettman sucks!)
QOTD2: Usually a Molson; you’ve got to drink a Canadian beer. I love the Labatt Blue too.

Too bad about the PHX move to Hamiton. Hope it still happens we need more teams north of the border.

This is off topic, and yes I did watch your episode, and of course it was great like always. But I’m curious, I’ve been tasting Pinot Noir from all over the world. Lately I’ve been trying Pinots from Argentina, and for some reason, I don’t know, most of the ones I’ve been tasting seem a lot heavier on the palate than most pinots(for example the Mariflor 2005 Pinot Noir from Mendoza that I’m tasting right now). Also it displays other characteristics as if it’s blended with something else other than Pinot Noir. My question is, have you heard of some Argentinean Vineyard blending a little Syrah in with their Pinot Noir?

Keep doing what you do Gary, I’ll continue to watch and support,

QOTD1: Hockey isn’t that exciting to watch on TV, but I was into college hockey during my years at BU (national champs 09!).
QOTD2: Usually go with a lemonade, not spending $16 for a decent beer at yankee stadium.

Very fun episode. Not heavy on the wine info but enjoyable to watch none the less.

QOTD1: Sorry, but nothing. I don’t dislike hokey any more than anything else, just not a sport fan period.

QOTD2: Water or Diet Cola/Pop/Soda

Go Bruins! ( I’m for them ).

Nice to see hockey fans on the thunder show. You had a very cool rapport, a quite nice back and forth between the three.

Ice Apple wine, I’ve never had it, must taste like Norwegian cider if you get cinnamon; you’ve just given me something to look for.

QOTD 1: Keep doing what you’re doing, Hockey is great!

QOTD 2: I’ve only been to a Professional hockey game once in my life (Toronto), the rest I follow through Sports channels, drinks cover the range from beers to wines and spirits, oh, and lots of food and snacks.

Good Show.

Hm. Y’know, I have a bit of a sweet tooth, but I think even I’d prefer a hard cider to the ice wine. Interesting that it’s from Quebec and has a monstrance on the front. Maybe that’s what Fr. Roland’s been using for Mass lately. Definitely a sweetish white…

QOTD #1: Meanwhile, not a hockey fan. What would get me into it — fully clothed women over forty and men who are head-over-heels in love with their wives in the beer ads? Meanwhile, here’s some required listening: http://m.podshow.com/media/406/episodes/14722/celtic-14722-07-19-2006.mp3. The cut you want’s right at 18 minutes. No, really. It’s funny.

QOTD #2: Favorite beverage at Monarch’s or King’s games is the soda I snuck in in my purse. Favorite beverage at the Scottish Games is water, followed by a Guinness.

Good show!

QTD1: I grew up playing and watching hockey in Minnesota but lost interest after moving to Arizona. Would love to see more games on ESPN, ESPN2, and other large Network channels. Also, I believe those who don’t watch hockey on a regular basis would appreciate a better way to see the puck on TV (i.e. digital enhancement or better camera angles). The game is definitely much better watched in person.

QTD2: An nice cold import beer, most likely a Heineken.

QOTD #1: I think ‘that’ section of the newspaper should say ‘Sports’ during football season and ‘Other’ the rest of the year so I don’t think much could be done to get me to watch hockey.

QOTD #2: At a Montana Grizzly football game on a cold day: Baileys & Starbucks in a thermos.

I’ve only seen hard cider, interesting they make it into a dessert wine too.

QOTD1: I work security at the Columbus Blue Jackets’ arena, so I like them, but don’t make a point to watch much hockey otherwise… it’s probably just because I’m such a big football fan.

QOTD2: The drinking fountain, because everything else in an arena is too damn expensive!

Great show and keep the hockey angle going.

QOTD 1: I am a hockey fan but being a good old southern boy from Alabama, well lets say I did not grow up on the sport. All it took for me was going to one game. I was hooked! So get to that first game, not on TV, in person.

QOTD 2: Our local arena’s drink selection is CRAP, I think it is what ever the distributor is dumping this week. When choice is available Molson Canadian after all it is hockey and if in Canada I try to find a Brador. Got hooked on that a few years back!

Loved this episode! Hockey is my favorite sport so it was great to see some hockey talk for a change. My drink of choice at games is typically a good Canadian beer like Molson.

QOTD1: I really like going to hockey games, but not watching them on t.v., maybe more primetime games on espn.

Great episode, as always… nice to have some non-industry types in the mix…

QOTD1: Been a TRUE, long-suffering LA Kings fan since their inception in ‘67… just ONE Cup, please…?

QOTD2: Ice cold brew… with a few nips of Schnapps from the boda-bag inside the game…

QOTD: Hockey’s aiite.
QOTD: It’s gotta be a tall paper cup filled with Suntory Malts at the Kashima Antler’s game. Throw in some intestine stew and we are so ruckin good to go.

QOTD 1: I think “Big Hockey” needs to advertise the fact that you can actually see the puck when you watch games in HD. This totally changes the viewing experience for someone like me, an occasional viewer.

QOTD 2: Giant-sized Beers

This episode was fun! It was interesting to see Gary wanting to impress the brothers with his hockey knowledge.

The NHL needs to shorten the season and shift the playoffs to May. If they continue trying to compete with the NBA playoffs they’ll continue to flounder.
Exposing playoff hockey to the masses is the best way to shift the perception of the NHL. I would also take franchises away from Phoenix, Florida, and other non-hockey cities and award some to cities like Quebec City, Cleveland, or Hartford along with contracting one or two.

When I’m at hockey games, I try to stick to local microbrews.
