It's called distilling, and nah I've never tried that. Believe it or not that's actually illegal in the US and quite difficult to do. Brewing beer is easy (well, brewing beer that tastes good is not so easy). Freshly distilled whiskey is clear and almost all alcohol. It's actually only called moonshine if it's made from corn mash. Commercial distillers age the fresh whiskey in charred oak barrels for the period of time. Jack Daniels for example ages their black label for seven years. During that time it picks up it's color and flavor interacting with the barrel wood and as the ingredients in the wort begin to chemically seperate and the alcohol breaks down. Then they dilute it to reach the percentage they want becasue fresh out of the barrel it's around 120 proof. There was a great show on Discovery about that a few years back. Just talked to him, said he has been aging it for 3 or 4 years now. It has the whiskey-color but I suppose it wasn't as dark as Jack is. Delicious all the same.

Friend of mine tried his hand at brewing his own whiskey. Do you brew whiskey? Is there some other term I should be using? Either way, it was surprisingly decent. I'm no expert and usually stick to mainstream whiskeys like Jack, but he did a pretty good job. Had a two or three glasses of that and played Gears of War 3. Good night.

The NHL Thread
So apparently the Devils are up to something...I've heard we might be shopping around for Kyle Turris or Sam Gagne....Would be quite interesting. Sykora has proven he can play in the league still, so he may become tradebait but I sincerely hope he does not, seeing how fantastic Elias has been playing with him. Kovalchuck better step up very quickly or he risks becoming one of the biggest trade bust in league history. Let's not forget he's on a 100 million dollar contract right now. Parise looks snakebitten. He's playing very well but he just can't find the back of the net. Hopefully when Travis Zajac returns Kovy+Zajac+Parise line will click, and we can keep Sykora+Elias+Zubrus together (who have unarguably been our best line).

Happy Halloween
Halloween weekend was fun here at University. Went as a cowboy Thursday night, a nerd Friday, and Where's Waldo on Saturday. Good times.

Gaborik, maybe, but I still think that Richards is one of the best centers in the league. Unless injured, he'll still put up near PPG numbers. Even playing on the Rangers. Gaborik is probably gonna be that player who, ten years from now, people will wonder what he would have been capable of if he wasn't so injury prone. yeah Gaborik's always had issues. I can see the argument for Richards being very good - and I still think he is, I just don't think he has anymore 90+ point seasons in him. He's done it what, twice? No reason that he can't be a number 1 center for most teams for a few more years, but if he doesn't get some help from Gaborik I think the Rangers will struggle.

So the only team that wants Avery is the one you constantly call a bunch of morons? sounds about right

Rangers are notorious for ruining good players. Won't change anything, I think both Richards/Gaborik's best days are behind them

Patrik Elias still tearing it up for the Devils. Even with the likes of Kovy and Parise it's still him who shines, the Devils are nothing with out Patty.

I'm surprised you guys would think he could score as low as 40. Maybe I'm optimistic for him but I don't see him scoring under 50 points I can see it. One, he might miss a few games due to injury. The older you are, the harder it is to bounce back from stuff, so I really think 70 games is more likely than 82. I'm not talking major injuries, just general bumps and bruises that come from a tough NHL season. Two, I'm assuming he isn't as fast as he once was. I haven't seen enough of his play to really know for sure, but it's normal to slow down at this age. He had 3 breakaways two games ago, scored on 2 of them. He may have lost a step but his positioning/puck control is the same it's always been

How many goals/points do you expect Jagr to put up?

The NHL Thread
He's lucky it's only 2-3 weeks. That could of ended his season. Devils have been alright in the first few games. We still don't put up enough goals as we should with two goal scorers like Parise/Kovalchuck. We're desperately missing Travis Zajac from the line up...he wont be back for a couple more weeks. Kovy needs someone to dish him the puck. Elias isn't even worth talking about because he's the same magnificent player he's always been. Scoring big goals, quarterbacking the powerplay, scoring more goals than Parise also
