Hol' up. Christmas *lasagna*? Is that a WNY thing?

Big honor for Kulich to be named captain. Hope he crushes it in the tourney, and gets back to doing what he's already been doing in Rochester.

My ex-mother-in-law tells this story about going to her then boyfriend (my now ex-father-in-law's) parents very Italian family Christmas and being served an enormous piece of lasagna. So she eats it.

It was the first course. There was an entire turkey dinner that came out afterward.

 

[Beerz]

We have lasagna every Christmas Eve.
Ham on Christmas Day.

 

[Dingo44]

The last couple of Christmases I've been home I made standing rib roasts and once something called Beef Roll-Ups (which is insane and is so good) but now I'm on the road every Christmas so I'm at the mercy of where we go.

 

[Chainshot]

My sister was doing a killer beef Wellington for a while on Christmas but she's shifted to hosting Christmas Eve dinner instead. I miss that Wellington.

We do Lasagna on Christmas Eve and Prime Rib Christmas Day

Love lasagna, of course. Just never thought of it as Christmas fare.

We had steak au poivre today, to change it up from the usual prime rib. The latter will be served on New Year's Day.

Sorry, Jiri. This is now a festive season cooking thread.

We can smell what Kulich is cooking.

Shifting back to Kulich - I don't usually have expectations on guys going into a tournament, just curious to see how they play. Kulich in this tournament, I'm expecting him to show how he's been ripping it up against men in one of the better pro men's leagues in the world when playing against his peers.

 

[Old Navy Goat]

I would just worry he might try to much to put on a show, especially against Slovakia the first game

I am gonna say anything less than averaging a goal a game would be a disappointment. Not that there is expectations from anyone thats my own target. Its a reachable target.

 

[Old Navy Goat]

He barely missed in the 1st when he had the goalie beat but put it over the net

OMG He'll fit right into the Sabres' roster !!!

 

[smitty10]

You guys have a gem with Kulich. He reminds me so much of Nylander. Such an offensively talented player.

 

[Matt Ress]

Enjoy dinner! I miss Christmas lasagna (Scime's sausage, uncased for a couple layers, sliced hard-boiled egg for a layer) even if I had to make the thing.

Mom's cousins sausage shop. She still makes lasagna for every holiday and I miss it. We all fought over leftovers.

There stuff is always amazing, I make time to go. If Kulich was as consistent as their mild Italian sausage, we'd be partying after every game.

Excellent tie in. As much success as he's had in the AHL, he does seem to struggle when he's not being fed with space, like me at mom's house lol. Sometimes a creator but more often a sniper and seemingly easy to shut down against some awareness. In fairness, he hasn't had to be a whole lot more as it's worked out pretty well for up to this point. Just my two bites.

[Nikolajs Sillers]

For a moment I thought Lasagna was playing for Rochester.

 

[Chainshot]

Third goal and fourth point today.

 

[Chainshot]

Translation - Kulich now the highest scoring Czech at this tournament. With the goals, I think he's now both the top goal scorer AND the top point getter in his national team career at the U20's.

Redlinsksi holiday sausage, cheesy potato casserole, ham, and pierogi for christmas eve

we used to always do a standing rib roast every year until i did a welly once, now we make the decision usually the week before

there used to always be a tray of ziti because it was cheap and easy to make and would fill everyone up if the roast and sides weren't enough (or the years my grandma would mistake sugar and salt and we needed a backup, the ziti tray started the year my aunt burnt the turkey, literal turkey sawdust came off the bird when you sliced it), id assume lasagna would be the same thing but would allow them proud italians to family flex on who has the best

 

[Zach716]

This kid is gonna be a beaut for us

 

[HOOats]

I only had one eye on the Czech game and started just watching the PPs after a while, but to that point - how is Kulich playing 5v5? I didn't really notice him much today honestly.

 

[deVolt]

yeah because Donny is terrible with young player

terrible? yes

 

[Matt Ress]

terrible? yes

Young players he's been good with. Once they hit 23/24 he loses interest. The Leonardo DiCaprio of head coaches.
