Puck Daddy:  Q & A with Jim Slater.  We love the shout out that IC received from the guy who puts the S in GST.  Surprised that his favorite drink is Grolsch and not the one that a Winnipeg fan invented based on his lines name.  No word if the GST drink of Gin, Scotch and Tequila is available at your local watering hole.
