  1. Broccoli Salad

At 3 p.m., the Pens and Flyers meet up for the first time since their epic playoff series last Spring on NBC. CBC will be showing Jets v. Sens at the same time.

Enough talking about it, time to enjoy the NHL’s return in all of its glory.

Broccoli Salad

Ingredients

  • 2 heads of fresh broccoli – florets only
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 1/2 green onions (optional)
  • 1 1/2 cups seedless red grapes, halved
  • 3/4 cup toasted blanched slivered almonds (can use other nuts – pine nuts, although they are very pricey or sunflower seeds, even toasted soya beans do the trick)
  • 8 – 12 slices of bacon (optional)

Dressing:

  • 3/4 to 1 cup light mayonnaise
  • 2 Tbsp sugar (prefer sugar substitute like Splenda since it dissolves better)
  • 3 Tbps white vinegar (although apple cider vinegar adds a nice flavor)

Directions

  • Cook bacon until crispy – crumble bacon
  • Place prepared broccoli, celery, onions, grapes and bacon (optional) in a large mixing bowl
  • In a small bowl, combine dressing ingredients
  • Pour dressing over broccoli mixture until well coated
  • Cover and refrigerate for several hours (can leave overnight)
  • Toast the almonds
  • Add nuts just before serving so they don’t get soggy.

    I remember that series like it was yesterday.
    Montreal won the first game 6-2 and game 2 was in Montreal as well.
    Bower played incredible in game 2 and shut out the Habs 3-0, right in the Forum!

    This is turning into a continuation of last years playoff. Pitt-Philly has been a good game. And I love the way NBC mics the crowd. Almost drowns out the play by play.

    Philly commentator just said they pushed the Winter Classics back a year so it’s Toronto @ Detroit on Jan 1 2014.  Is he assuming or is this official?  I don’t remember the announcement.

    I don’t think one guy on our current roster could have made that team… but we’ve got to stop living in the past!  ;-)

    Went into Dunn’s in Montreal for a smoked meat sandwich and a beer this afternoon. The waiter asked me for ID. Thought I was 15. #Leafs#NHL

    I’d take Siri over Hughson. But ya he’s great. Only true challenger to Bowen.
