sne Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 San Jose Sharks ship 10 goals for the second game in a row. There is tanking on purpose and then there is taking the p*ss. Hope they are stripped of the top pick in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quote from Baseketball, one of my favourite comedies: Quote Soon it was commonplace for entire teams to change cities in search of greater profits. The Minneapolis Lakers moved to Los Angeles where there are no lakes. The Oilers moved to Tennessee where there is no oil.

Utah’s nickname is the Beehive State but it has nothing to do with honey https://www.saltlakemagazine.com/behind-the-beehive/#:~:text=When Brigham Young and the,to make the desert bloom. “When Brigham Young and the Latter-day Saints arrived in Salt Lake Valley in July of 1847, Young chose the name “Deseret” for their new home, and the beehive as its emblem, symbolizing the kind of cooperative work that would be required to make the desert bloom” Edited May 10 by Nor-Cal Villan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
