Hockey questions for today?

1. What is the best seat you have ever had at a hockey game?

NHL I sat first row on the 2nd tier. I was close enough to see everything but far back enough to be able to see the entire ice.

2. Who has the best hip check in the game?

Darius Kasparaitis

3. What one goalie in the NHL do you think carries their team the most?

Chris Mason

4. Name one Dman you would want off of your least favorite NHL team

Sharks it's Dan Boyle

Flyers it's Chris Pronger I guess.

5. If the NHL had an exhibition game of retired all stars would you watch it?

That would mean I'd have to move to Russia.

BQ* What is the best dish at your favorite restaurant and what is the name of the restaurant?

Bobby Valentine use to have a dish called Irish Nachos. It was really good. They still make it, but they changed the ingredients so it's not very good now.

1) A friend had a couple extras for his suite for a Leafs game...bigger comfy chairs and free beer. Not a bad way to roll, if you ask me.

2) Talk about a dying art...

3) Brodeur and Ryan Miller are both pretty important for their teams.

4) Already had the Hal Gill Experience (sounds like something to experience at the Laserium or something after you've enjoyed a little Jamaican bud)...

5) They have this already during the HHOF weekend. It's sad and pathetic when you see these guys and think they're better than the current crop.

BQ: I hate chain restaurants; other than my morning stop at Tim Horton's for coffee (always fresh, usually- at least cheap) I avoid 'em like the plague (and unfortunately all these American chains keep ending up here in the GTA like a crazy ex-girlfriend who finds out where you live despite the restraining order). Not sure I have one singular dish. If I want a good steak there's Barberian's (old school and unapologetic and not in an ironic sense)...if I'm spending someone else's money and want sushi I'm at Kaji. Globe Bistro and Nota Bene both rotate their menus quite a bit, relying on what's good now. Fratellis or the Danforth Pizza House are my go-to's for pizza pie.

Right now though...I've been on a pho** kick lately (this happens a few times a year) which is something we do well here. If I'm in downtown I'll go to Pho Pasteur (on Spadina), but for Home Team goodness the Pho 66 on Steeles is never bad. Both cheap and look offputting enough to keep the out-of-town rubes out.

**for the uninitiated, pho is a Vietnamese noodle dish.

BQC: There is no such thing as a good chicken caesar salad. It's the public Snuggie wearing of the culinary world.

BQC2: The salmon caesar salad...go for it. If I never eat another chicken caesar salad, tuna tartare, creamed spinach, sliders, creme brulee or some motherf***ing overpriced cupcake I will be more than fine (seriously- WTF is with charging people six dollars for a damn cupcake- I don't give a flying fiddle if it's artisianal flour hand-ground by virgins with chocolate found from some faraway village on a remote island in Fiji...it's still a cupcake).

1. You mean for a whole game, right, not the run down to the glass in the last 2 minutes? Lower bowl, row sixteen on the side near the Red Wings bench but not close enough for hand signals.

2. Niklas Kronwall. I see him play 80 some times a year unless he's hurt. He is consistent.

3. Ryan Miller with Jimmy Howard's first real season as an honorable mention. The Wings would not have made the play offs if not for him.

4. Shea Weber of the Preds. Oh, how I hate the Preds!

5. I wouldn't go to see it in person but I would love to watch such a game on TV.

BQ* The Friday night fish dinners at Yukon Jack in Horton, Michigan. Or is it Hanover?

1.Section 116 Row 3 at the Wachovia Center....but now it's called Wells Fargo Center.

2. I feel like the Hip Check is a dying art but if I had to pick one I would either say Niklas Kronwall of the Detroit Red Wings or my "homie" Christian Ehrhoff up in Vancouver.

3. Ryan Miller, they don't really have anyone flashy on offense and they only have Tyler Myers on defense a good player but still a rookie and had some flaws.

4. Brooks Orpik for sure he's a great defenseman IMO.

5. Good chance my dad would DVR it so yes.

BQ: The McGangBang from McDonalds, I don't really go out to eat that often but when I do with my friends it's usually Applebee's and I don't really like anything there.

1. 2 rows back and 5 seats to the left of the home bench, I have also sat in a couple of sky boxes.

2. It used to be rob blake but now I am going to say brad stuart.

3. Henrik Lundqvist, I know they didn't make the playoffs but every year he is the reason they aren't a god awful team a couple of years ago he almost stole a series against the caps.

4. Brian Campbell, not a very tough one for me. I am not saying he is a bad d man by the way, I would definitely want him to stay if his deal was 3 mil per year for the next 3 years.

5. I might tune in for a period but in all honesty that would be pretty boring so I probably would not watch the whole game.

BQ: New York Strip Steak. Kiki's Bistro. It is really expensive so I don't go there that often but it is really delicious.

1. The ones I think best are Bell Center's Desjardin Club seats (free food, more comfy), in the curve where the visitors shoot twice. But I once had a pair of tickets right on the glass, row AA.

2. Hamhuis has a pretty good one. Although one of the best all time was Kasparitis, while some other hit harder (Stevens comes to mind) he really knew how to toss someone with his hip.

3. Lundqvist, this of the D in front of him. Redden, Rosival, Gilroy, DelZotto, aren't exactly known for thier defensive prowess.

4. Phaneuf.

5. Sure, although I have to add a caveat, the players and coaches need to be mic'ed.

BQ: The Keg prime rib with loaded baded potato. The Keg Steakhouse.

1) My dad got tickets to a leafs game where we were right behind the players. It was pretty sick since we could see the shifts change , hear the coaches yell not to mentionn the players talk and a sick view of the players on the ice and the actuale game

2) not sure, cant pick just one

3) ryan miller and martin brodeur.it should be roberto luongo as he is captain but he doesnt do much, Millers the biggest treat on the sabres and brodeur, do i really need to say why?

4) I dont like the red wings , so probably lidstrom, hes amazing but since hes on the redwings, i would love it if he left the team and joined my team (the leafs) or even the pens (not gonna happen but still) and pronger because hes just annoying

5) yes! it woudl be a show great talent and something amaziing to watch !

BQ The Keg, seafood & salmon,

1.) Center Ice, next to the penalty box. It was cool, except for Avery, kept "signing" me the shocker. Only kidding.....I did bring a camera in case that happened. I suppose my K-mart clothes turned him off.

2.) The first one that comes to mind believe it or not is Scuderi. His hip checks got him in hot water a few times last season.

3.) Martin Brodeur

4.) Dan Boyle. I love that guy. I would hate to see him on Atlanta....what a waste.

5.) Hell yes. It most likely would be all friendly, so I would have to be drunk.

BQ: I am not really into "chain" restaurants. The best restaurants in Tampa are Burns Steakhouse & the Columbia Restaurant. At Burns you have to get the filet, and at the Columbia, you have to get any of their seafood dishes. My favorite "chain" restaurant meal is Chick-fil-a chicken minis. When I lived up North.....without a doubt...Culver's Butter burger. Now I'm all freaking hungry.

Add: Applebees is only good for their "all the time" happy hour. Their food blows.

1. My friends private box, lower bowl, center ice.

2. Scott Stevens for sure, but his era is over. In today's game there aren't a whole lot of hip checks but probably Phaneuf even though most of his hits come open ice.

3. Mikka Kipprusoff. I haven't seen one answer with him yet, but just look at the stats. His team had one of the worst offenses in the league, and also one of the best goals against. With a below average goalie the Flames would have finished much worse.

4. Duncan Keith, I don't have a least favorite team in the league but I don't really like the Hawks. Keith is unbelievably talented.

5. I probably would but I wouldn't see too much hype for it.

5. Yes

1. Row 3 behind the net the Wings shoot at twice at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. I took my dad to the game and he told me that in all his hockey life that these were the best seats he ever had. That made two of us!

2. Brad Stuart.

3. Ryan Miller.

4. Seabrook.

5. Sure. I would watch.

BQ* California Burritos from Lolitas Taco Shop.

Boston <3

2010-08-09 10:40:27 UTC

1. I was on the corner of the ice where the B's shoot twice six rows up.

2. I don't know, I'll get back to you on that.

3. Ryan Miller, other that Myers and Vanek he's the only player on their team.

4. The traitor, Hal Gill

5. Maybe

BQ: BBQ Ribs from Longhorns Steakhouse.

Our season tickets next year are behind the net row 16 ish. A great place to watch the worst team in the league.

MA Bergeron has a gooder.

Hell ya.

BQ: the salmon at Gumbos in Austin TX. Every time I go there I get it.

Your questions save me from boredom for a little while lol

1. 5th row, minor league.....I've had better seats at baseball games =(

2. I'm not sure, I haven't seen many hip checks, but my brother has shown me Ovechkin videos and there was one where he had a hip check so I guess I'll say Ovechkin...

3. I think Halak did really good with the Habs and their bad defense, he probably will do the same with the Blues

4. Chris Pronger....?

5. No.

BQ* McDonald's french fries

Awesome Bill

2010-08-09 12:22:23 UTC

1) Today, I'd say next to the penalty box.

2) Scott Stevens.

3) Martin Brodeur, with honorable mention to Michael Leighton for carrying a supposedly top-flight defense to the Stanley Cup final despite themselves.

4) One Christopher Pronger.

5) Absolutely not. It'd be like watching Jason Statham do "Transporter 15" while in his Nineties.

BA) Her name was Deanna (not her real name) and she was......oh, you mean FOOD dish. There was one I had at a place called Hanrahan's (not their real name) that had stuffed shrimp, filet mignon, mixed vegetables, lumpy-good mashed potatoes. To die for.

If you add yourself this issue: Wherever can I get hold of inside information which will give me with an enormous benefit within the position and file bettors and improve my likelihood of choosing the champion again and again and it's therefore simple to use even I will realize it? Then, the answer you will see it here https://tr.im/u8Loo .

The Zcodes System is rammed filled with data for you really to digest. Zcodes System is perhaps not confined to 1 betting idea but rather seems to bridge the information hole between a wide range of betting authorities and their clients to hopefully turn clients to the specialists of the future.

If you actually wondered if can there be a betting program that will give you a higher proportion of winning bets than losing one's then you have to know that this technique occur, is here https://tr.im/yCz7j , Zcodes System.

Zcodes System is the best activities investing software/system. Ron, Mike, David, and their team of programmers spent around a couple of years beta-testing Zcodes before actually launching it stay and it really shows.

If you want to make money, a bundle then, employs Zcodes System.

1. Lower center.....

2. Bryan Marchment and Darius Kaspiritus are out of the game and it seems they took the hip check with them. Bryan McCabe maybe.

3. Ummm.....good Q....the temptation is to say Brodeur but he missed most of the season two years ago and with Scott Clemmensen, they did not miss a beat. I will say it is currently a tie- Ryan Miller and Ilya Bryzgalov....should have been co-MVP's IMO...based on the true meaning of the award.

4. Meszaros.........hey, we didn't even get to know him. Seriously, he is a risk at his cap hit, Holmgren is banking on him finding his pre TB (Ottawa) form.

5. They do and I have.

BQ- Il Mercato has a roasted chicken ravioli. Yum.
