the_iceman86 asked in SportsHockey · 1 decade ago

It's very slow in the Hockey Section today! So......?

I think this has been asked before, but I will revisit it and sacrific my 5 points to amuse you (hopefully).

You have just won the lottery. You decide that a fun way to spend some of the money is to open up a Sports Bar and Grille! Congratulations, lets get to work. It must be an NHL theme.

1.) What is it called? Where is it located?

2.) What player would you want to co-own it with you?

3.) What would your signature dish be?

4.) How would it be decorated? More detail the better.

5.) Any in game specials?

6.) Any other key details you want to add?

I'll post mine in a minute.

Update:

Top Shelf Bar and Grill

New York, New York Right across from MSG.

Chris Drury

King Henriks Brick(wall) Oven Pizza

Scotty Gomez and Brandon Dubinskys Alaskan King Crab.

Rangers Jerseys on the walls, flat screen tv's everywhere, NHL Center Ice Pack, some signed Rangers stuff on the walls. Etc.

Update 2:

Half price drafts for 5 minutes after Ranger Goals. Half price on the Lundqvist Pizza's until close after a shutout. 2 Dollar Blue and Red Jello Shots after a Rangers win.

Update 3:

Wow Great ones so far! Habs fan, I would be a regular at your place!

    1) Cheers / Sante! and it's located inside the Pepsi Coliseum as I will have also bought the rights to give Quebec City a team again.

    2) Mario Lemieux, Guy Lafleur, Simon Gagne, Kim St-Pierre

    3) BBQ wings, also the best poutine in town.

    Attractive waitresses too. You know "Sonia" from "Les Boys"? She will be on my staff for sure ;)

    4a) Stanley Cup banners from all teams but focusing on the Canadien and various amateur teams from Quebec.

    4b) Pictures and such from the old days and new, from teams throughout Canada, America and Europe.

    4c) Multiple games being shown and it will be interactive so each person can watch it in the language of their choice. No linguistic discrimination here. (Having lived both in and outside Quebec gives me a more open mind when it comes to linguistic use / retention than it does most other people!!)

    5a) Dollar beer (over 100 beers available in bottle, on draft or in a pitcher), also 10% your bill provided you spend over 20$

    5b) If you want coffee we only have Tim Hortons, if you want to drink your Star$ please do so outside. Tuque and mittens optional.

    5c) Also for the kids: your choice of Pepsi, Cherry Coke, Dr Pepper, Sprite, regular Coke, diet Coke, and Fanta either Orange, Strawberry or Grapefruit.

    6a) Everyone on payroll has to speak at least 2 languages (French and English at a bare minimum) Quebec City attracts visitors from all over the world.

    6b) Sponsor the Quebec International Peewee Tournament as well as the many rinks near Plains of Abraham and the government buildings.

    6c) If you spend over 100$ before tax and tip, get a free autograph from any 1 NHL player who's in the restaurant at the time of your request.

    Thanks for the approval Iceman - just gave this a star.

    I'm not sure what's the most ridiculous rumor I've heard. There's a new one every day on hockeybuzz. I actually was suspended, twice maybe, for smoking in non-designated areas. Outside. It was awfully petty, when you think about it. I lived somewhat far away from my high school, and by the time our bus made it there in the morning the bell was about to ring. There wasn't time to walk down to the right place and still make it in time. Both times I think it was because I tried to sneak one in it when I got off the bus. I definitely don't enjoy shopping. Where did that question come from? There will be an NFL season. The NFL makes too much money, there's too much cash on the table, not to come to some agreement. Although I also think the players should push hard. They are probably the worst compensated of the big 4 sports and yet play in the wealthiest of the big 4 sports leagues.

    1. The Goalie Net (my slogan would be: "they save pucks, you save money" lol) in Baltimore...or Detroit but I don't live there...maybe I could get my cousins to run it if it was in Detroit and I could work there everytime we visit

    2. Chris Osgood and Nick Lidstrom...and Chris Chelios if he wants to help since he seems to have restaurant owning skills haha (he owns one in MI)

    3. The slap shot sandwich...I will leave your imagination to fill this sandwich with whatever you think it would have or sounds good

    4. The color scheme would be red and white for the Wings and there would be a Stanley Cup fountain outside the restaurant. If there were railings anywhere they'd look like long hockey sticks. Signed jerseys (I'd hope to have one of Yzerman's) and posters would line the walls. Old hockey and Red Wing memorabila would also be on little shelves around the restaurant and bar. The tables would look like giant pucks and the bar stools would be smaller "pucks"....oh man, this would be awesome!

    5. You'd get a complementary beer everytime the Red Wings play a home game no matter what hockey team you root for. You'd also get a free pack of hockey cards on any Friday. And you could always get free refills on iced tea, coffee, sodas, and juice...anything but the beer

    6. ....I already added a slogan for my restaurant but I'll add that if the Wings play during the finals, there would be specials on the octopus and squid (calamari basically) until someone wins the cup!

    there would be a game room for kids and in there would be air hockey and that other type of hockey game...you know, the one were you move the sticks (kind of like fusball) and score in the net

    there would be a really big screen TV on one wall with comfortable chairs and a coffee table so we could all watch the game...there would still be the standard mini screens by the bar.

    1. The Wolverine. It would be smack right in the middle of downtown Ann Arbor!

    2. My favorite NHLer, Valtteri Filppula and if possible Billy Sauer. And also any other UM hockey player that would want to help(:

    3. Hm... something pasta. I'll talk it out with my cooks.

    4. All University of Michigan stuff, from every sport. Photos, banners, signs. The seats will be maize and blue. Whatever michigan stuff thats out there, it will be in my bar! Also tons of plasma screen tee vee's, some big and some small(:

    5. Every fall Saturday, you get 20% your meal. Against Ohio State, 40% off. I'm pretty generous(: Also students get 10% off no matter what.

    6. It is no smoking. Smoking is blah. And there will be seating on the roof and outside. We might also have fun giveaways for tickets and shirts and stuff. My place is boss:D

    Wow. sorry, I didn't make it NHL theme. Talk about not reading directions. Haha. Oh well, this one is different(:

    1) The puck stops here/ Detriot

    2) One of the veterans (the whole older is wiser thing) i can't pick just one...

    3) Octipus :)

    4) the resteraunt or the dish? im gonna geuss resteraunt so..A large bar serving the best canadian beers with 11 flat screens (1 for each year they won the cup). and in the reteraunt side. large tables seating 4-6 people. a few smaller tables seating 2-3 and 4 HUGE tables seating 8-10. Vingtige jerseys for the Wings hanging all around and memorable moments in pictures. a wall of champions where pictures of them hold in the cup every year they've won it.

    5) At every game, a free beer when you buy 3 (i hope that won't be a problem for some of you) and $5 all you can eat hot wings.

    6) all of the staff is required to be a red wings fan .Their uniform is black pants and a red wings jersey with their name on the back.

    :) and i don't even like the wings,,, it was just a good idea...

    :)

    1) Puck It - I'd set up shop in the new Pens arena being built, right at center ice halfway thru the stands so you get an awesome view.

    2) Fleury and Talbot.

    3) I'd have a signature drink instead of a dish, I'd call it "Puckbunnies on Ice" AKA a Red Headed Slut.

    4) Any Pens memorabilia I could get my hands on. I'd order a genuine Cup replica to be made, and would also have a Cup ice sculpture made daily which would have drinks flowing out of it.

    5) 25 cent bottles all day on game days. All bottles, including imports, not just the domestic sh*t. Hey, I did win the lottery here, I can afford it.

    6) I'd have a different player come in on an off day once a month to sign autographs, take pics, etc.

    1) The Penalty Box, Detroit MI

    2) Chris Osgood or Bob Probert

    3) Top Shelf Steak

    4) I'll put a bunch of Autographs, Sticks, Jerseys, and a Souvenir Shop and a Bar

    5) Every time the Wings score a Power Play goal or a Short Handed goal, free drinks on the house for everyone

    6) I already have the blueprint drawn, Its going to be 2 stories, with a full hockey rink outside, and an outside bar, and it will have a game room for the kids

    My joint:

    1. The Mid-Ice Crisis (or Big Bad Motherpuckers), located in the rejuvinated downtown Pittsburgh, PA!

    2. Hmmm...he seems to already do a decent job as a team owner, so co-owning a sports bar and grille should be no sweat for Mario Lemieux!

    3. The Stanley Cup Champion- a filet mignon served with carmelized onions, sauteed peppers, spices, and two sides: a fully loaded twice-baked potato and cinnamon apples.

    4. Naturally, it would be decked out with Pittsburgh Penguins gear, including a replica of every jersey design the team wore during their history on the walls, along with Stanley Cup (and Eastern Conference champion....damn you Red Wings) banners, retired jerseys (and soon-to-be retired for the likes of Jaromir Jagr, Ron Francis, Paul Coffey, and Tom Barrasso), and signed photos.

    5. Free appetizers to everyone when the Penguins score five or more goals!

    6. My eatery has to be brick!

    Slapshot Goons, Pittsburgh PA

    Marc-Andre Fleury or Mario Lemieux

    66 buries It

    It would be an Oreo (puck) sitting inside a net made of cake!

    Guess the correct final score of the game get half off your meal

    There'd be an ice rink inside the place with games going on, and a wall that was used as a projector to play 3 hockey games all at once, and the waiters would know how to speak multiple languages so you can have non-fluent English speakers order too!

    1) Slap Shot Sports Bar in Gross Pointe (a rich suburb of Detroit)

    2) Chris Chelios. He seems to have a good head on his shoulders.

    3) A Hockey puck shaped sirloin steak with a pile of Mashed potatoes.

    4) It would have a rustic look with lots of hockey stuff along the walls and TV's for hockey games.

    5) Half-off beer prices during Wings games.

    6) Not really.

    Snoop: That steak would be awesome.

    1. Shots. Boston, Massachusetts. Forget the name of the street, it's on the way to the Garden from one of the parking garages.

    2. Ray Bourque. He already owns a resturaunt in Boston, so he'd be a lot of help.

    3. Buffalo Wings.

    4. Bruins jerseys mostly with BU jerseys as a second. Some Signed stickes haging up, definately have my Bobby Orr "The Goal" picture in there. Some Red Sox/Patriots/Celtics/BC stuff too of course. A little TV in every booth. Flat screens on every side of the bar and in every corner. Some sort of memorabilia for every title won in Boston.

    5. Buy one pizza, get on half off. Buy 2 beers get one free (got to get everybody good and drunk by the end of the night lol.)

    6. Every playoff game for any Boston sport (besides soccer and tennis and all that crap) there's half off every meal you spend over $20 for. And if they win the game, I buy a round for everyone.
