Dafuq is a white claw- and why would you want a full one…?

Yeah, this one was good, and one I had never had before (which is saying something for a guy who has tried >1400 different beers over the last 7-8 years). It’s usually Coors Banquet in the room with this new group I’m playing with this season. It’s fine. 

Mildly flavoured tv static vodka. Shits gross. 

I'd eagerly slurp down a warm Canadian over a white claw.

@Lucky Pucker @coopaloop1234

Just had a few good laughs calling hockey shops in this section of Ontario

Typical dialogue:

"Hello/Bonjour, __________ Hockey Shop"

"Yeah hi, quick question for you: do you have any Maple Leafs pucks in the shop?"

"Maple. Leafs. Pucks?..?..""

"Yeah, like souvenir pucks.  Official NHL pucks.  Any puck with the Leafs logo on it."

"Uhh....no, we don't really. Sell. Those.  We just have blank pucks."

"Ah, ok.  Well, thanks anyway."

CLICK

I find it hilarious that one of the last few I need, one of the hardest to find, is the Toronto f'n Maple Leafs.

Oh, yeah I know there's stuff online, but my plan is to drive from Montreal into Ontario.  Toronto is too far.  I'm looking at Cornwall and Ottawa.

There's a Pro Hockey Life in Ottawa that's promising, they just won't answer the phone.

Yep.  It'd feel so cheap and easy to just order them online. 

I’ve got you, brother! You just get to Ottawa, and this beauty is all yours (very rare, super “last-resort-after-Beiber-has-run-out-of-ideas alternate logo… probably not official - despite the accuracy in the wording)

OMG.

I love this one.

It would go in the bloopers/greatest hits wing of the collection.

Aw, sheeeeeet. Now I feel bad. This puck does not actually exist (that I know of). I just took a picture of the ubiquitous Crappy Tire puck, and edited the photo on my phone. 
Flattered that you liked my design though - lol!

LOL, I know.  Don't feel bad.  I was playing into the joke.

Found this randomly at the rink last night. 

At first I saw this

20231005_091226.thumb.jpg.5322b34f5d4550925eb701fc988addbf.jpg

which is common and I was all "please don't be Kraken please don't be Kraken "

and then discovered this beauty 

20231005_091235.thumb.jpg.5bf5d8639cac7b9f2708e192b5675228.jpg

Definitely the cutest puck in the collection. 

I wonder who signed it?

Really happy about this one.

Oof. 

Jones was once upon a time a decent goalie when he first started. His first season in SJ took them to the finals as his first array as a starter. His stats were in the +0.910sv% and mostly under 2.5GAA for his first three years. 

He fell off fast, but he was up there for a bit.

So after my upcoming trip to Montreal/Ottawa where I'll get my Canadiens and Maple Leafs pucks (as well as these too)

Screenshot_20231007_213157_SamsungInternet.thumb.jpg.2790204342d0d208f8695f8d51edb69f.jpg

I'm down to only 5 NHL teams remaining, including New Jersey Devils.   I have tickets to Devils @ Canadiens while I am there, so I thought I had to try, right?

I emailed the Devils office and pitched my request to get a Devils puck from the team in Montreal and of course I offered to pay for it. I offered to grab it from Guest Services or Will Call or go down to the glass and get it from an equipment guy, anything. 

Not surprisingly, I was told No but it was written in a very robotic, AI, corporate way.  Kinda made me laugh:

----------------------

 

Hello,

 

Thank you for your email.

 

Due to the large demand for items inside the arena, we do not have the inventory to give merchandise.

 

We thank you for your support and have a great day!

 

Sincerely,

 

Guest Services

-----------------------

Oh well.  Cost me nothing to ask 👹

I think you'll be dissapointed. It's just a marketing schtick as far as I can tell.
