They sell SAKE everywhere in that country in carton box (like apple juice). Literally you can buy one from the convenience store and start drinking right at the cashier. This will be a fun trip....enjoy and cheers for the Flames always

Posted that at the end of the game thread, but copied it here hoping someone could answer

It was a double minor. First 2 mins was negated by the goal but you still have to serve the 2nd minor.

Thank you!! Ohh trust me I’ve been drinking like a sailor every night here. The Japanese sure know how to drink!! I will make sure to celebrate this win with some Sake tonight! Just an amazing country, all they need is hockey! Going to do my best to stream the game vs the Canucks!

[Strange Brew]

A highly entertaining game. Really could have gone either way IMO and our goalie was spectacular.

Can you ask for more on the road against a very good team?

[Redrum]

Screw the hockey news yearbook. There should be an ATL yearbook each summer so we can laugh even harder at how stupid Edmonton is.

Hathaway is criminally underrated. Even last year he showed flashes of a solid NHLer, but needed to work on consistency. Not a surprise for his first year.

He has the wheels to contribute on the PK and his hands aren’t too bad. Love the guy.

Flames are to the Jets as the Ducks are to the Flames!
See ya later Winnipeg!

Thoughts and prayers to your hat being left behind in Winnipeg.

Sean Monahan is tied in points with some guy named Crosby.

Well Rittich was definitely the difference maker tonight. Absolutely unreal and made some jaw dropping saves at critical moments.

Thought Gio and Brodie struggled a bit tonight, especially in the third. Some pretty careless plays with the puck by Gio and then Brodie just standing in his own end with the puck not skating more than once. A bit "odd" as Hrudy was say.

Bennett destroying Scheifele was awesome. I really want to see some more offensive consistency from the second line. I feel they are almost there though.

That Gaudreau - Lindholm goal was absolutely amazing. One of the nicest goals I have seen in a long time.

Neal was noticeable in a good way tonight IMO.

Thought overall the Jets were the better team tonight but the Flames had the better goalie!

I recommend Strong Zero for getting drunk on the cheap. Tastes great too, although it would be particularly good in the hot and sweaty summertime. They usually do seasonal flavours and there are a ton to try out.

I hope you are enjoying eating out as well! There are so many good and cheap eateries on every corner in Japan. Just thinking about it makes me want to go there right now.

Not too shabby for a 2nd line center!!!

Janko's shorty was a beauty.

[GioforPM]

Great game made better by me being at a party with a big Jets fan. The shorty may have involved a little dancing in front of where he was sitting. Plus I'd called a shorty just a second before the two on one.

Buff should be suspended for a few games. Either that or you break your stick over his arm in the next game.

What the heck are you complaining about????????

great win by the flames, but man, that cheap shot makes me angry

I'm innocent! I was just watching the game from my couch. I wasn't even posting in the GT.

Where's the love.

[Bunk]

I like how Johnny is yelling “Are you kidding me?” after his second goal.

Yeah.

Ohhh it’s been incredible, the food in the subway stations are to die for. I started out in Tokyo and have made my way to Osaka and the food is amazing everywhere you go. Fantastic country, will be coming back here many more times in the future!

He's becoming a PK specialist.

Couldn't agree more and have defended him as far as I can when he has a rough game and CP doesn't think he belongs on the roster. He has really elevated his skating this year and while he isn't going to win you many games, he plays very smart defensively, gives your top guys a rest and can get under the skin of the other team. I think the appreciation will skyrocket in the playoffs when you have Tkachuk, Bennett and Hathaway driving the other team insane.
