Azzurri!
- Canada Cup

I married into an Italian family so it feels weird cheering them on after a lifetime's worth of hating on the Azzurri.

It was a fun day during Euro 2012 when England played Italia in the quarters and I was at my future in-laws (I had only started dating my future wife in 2011). I wore my England jersey and the rest of them were in a sea of blue.

England lost on penalties. Maybe the best result for me?

Mike Augello: Avs' dilemmas similar to Leafs after disappointing playoff exit
- mikeinbuffalo


Not sure I'd compare the leafs to the Avs. Leafs faced the lowest possible opponent and lost in 7. Av's finished first, rattled off 6 wins in a row outscoring their opponents 21-10 in that span, and lost to the 2nd overall club.... It's a big difference, and Col has plenty of cap space so their offseason decisions are different. If I am Col, I am not changing a single thing about this team. Byram and Makar will continue to improve, and Vegas is about to see their window start to close. One glaring similarity is that they attribute their playoff exit to Kadri being suspended again tho...

Most years that’s true but they really are the best this year. They should sail through the Scotia North Division no problem.

When is Wedgie hosting the awards shows?

Add to calendar

Under Brind’Amour’s leadership, the 2020-21 Hurricanes were the only NHL team to rank top-three on the power play (second, 25.6 per cent) and penalty kill (third, 85.2 per cent).

Not any I've been super impressed by. I'm watching my figure so I've been on a white wine kick recently. I had a watermelon sea salt sour they have at the LCBO and it was interesting but not sure I'd buy a case of em.

The broad head blueberry blonde is still one of my faves.

The mango one from mill street is disappointing if you're looking for a replacement for the key lime one.

Brindy is also the only NHL head coach who can bench press more weight than any of his players.

Fire Keefe and co., and throw all the money and free passes for Planet Fitness to Brind’amour and his staff.


Also send Marner to the moon, and use his cap space on actual good players.

Bergevin can probably do the same as GM.

I'm starting to think I'm part of the Leaf curse. Every (frank)ing team I've cheered for this playoffs have lost. Habs make me wanna puke, despise the Isles, hate Vegas and not a big fan of Tampa. So if this poop stays the course and it ends up a Habs and Isles final..... Pure . Why even bother drafting any talent at all when you would have better odds just dressing a local men's league team...

Hey guys! Let’s move on from Hyman and move out Reilly and Nylander so we can sign Hamilton.

Yeah and keep Marner cause he is the leader of the 24th ranked penalty kill and only cost 11 million.
