We also make a “Half Assed Old Fashioned”
Good quality cherry

Served neat in a ceramic cup about the size of an espresso cup.
I use different kinds of bitters:
-Angostura is the default.
-Fee Brothers - their walnut is very nice but also Orange and Cherry.
-Old Forrester Hummingbird which is a Rose and Citrus
I also use different kinds of cherries:
-Trader Joe’s Pitted Amarena Cherries
-Tillen Farms -Bada Bing...
That’s true. I think the intimidation aspect needs eliminated or dialed down. The NHL is going to get sued out of existence if it doesn’t while knowing a hit like Slavin took last night can have a significant impact on him for the rest of his life. Or an impact that shows up later in life...
As long as they’re going to allow that kind of hits you pretty much need dirtbags like Bennett do you’re correct.
If you allow it to continue let alone cheer for it when it happens and excuse it then don’t even pretend to care about CTE. Just stop….
Checking is part of the game. Hits like...
What is the difference between how Bennet approaches that check compared to EStaal would? That’s where I would start. In executing that check the way he did Bennet showed reckless disregard for Slavin’s life and career and complete disrespect for Slavin as a fellow player.
The problem is...
If it was Eric Staal on the forecheck he would have been perfectly willing to finish the check and would have done so. And we wouldn’t be having this discussion. And maybe Slavin still gets hurt. The difference is the intent of Bennett’s hit was primarily to force Slavin to bail on the play...
If you
If you hit someone in a way likely to or intended to result in their head hitting 4 things that needs to be taken out of the game. That wasn’t a collision it was a targeted attack to hit him with all possible force high on his body. What other possible outcome can come from that?
I disagree to some extent. If you make it legal more people will do it than if it’s not legal.
if that number stayed the same then you have a valid point.
If everyone did drugs then yes it would be better to legalize and regulate them. But everyone doesn’t. If you legalize them more people...
You know why Jordan Staal doesn’t fly around the ice crushing people left and right? Because he’s a decent human that respects his fellow players enough not to TRY to hurt them. Players like Bennet are not decent humans and like to hurt people. Isn’t that psychopathy?
They need a rule change that hard codes that. If you do x you are done for 30 games or 60 or 90 or life. Then player safety simple decides if you did x. If he though he’d get more than a game or two he wouldn’t have done it. And if he still did it then he needs to not be in the league also...
It seems that the idea that it’s not a good thing to do but since some people are doing it anyway we want to get revenue for it sits crossways in my thinking. If we legalize it more people will do it.
Put it like this. If it was a good thing to do it would already be legal right? We recognize...
It was a BS call on Staal.
Not that it wasn’t technically a penalty but to that point they hadn’t called far more egregious violations on both sides. That was a borderline call. To call it in that situation based on what came before is total bs.
