What you said. How ya doin' fellow 57 alum? I'm sure you realize this is our 61st anniversary of graduation. OK, different schools but still. Nice to hear from you again. ☠🏈🍻
Just means we are old but grew up when people had respect for each other.

We certainly did grow up in an era when people had respect for each other! Guess that's the good ole days we hear about from time to time. Not everything was good but, damn, certain aspects of that age may never be replicated.
Good chatting with you. Go Johnnies. ☠🏈
I'm old! I get mixed up and I forget things! Go Everybody! 🏈 ☠

Congratulations to the Caps and retagent!!!

I was just telling my sister a funny story I remember hearing about Matt Niskanen. When he came into the league he played for the Dallas Stars. At that time they were known for having a bunch of Swedish players. During an interview, a reporter complemented Matt on his English. Matt was like, "I'm from Minnesota"! ;D

Likely he said, "I'm from Minnesoooooda!"  So you can understand the southern reporter's confusion.  ;)

Actually, Niskanen is one of the better interviews. He steers clear of cliches, is thoughtful, introspective and speaks like a well educated person. It is curious to me that hockey players are some of the more well spoken athletes - as a group. Many, especially those from Canada and Europe went from high school to Juniors to pro, without a higher education.

For this not really a hockey guy that was a hell of a game.  Congrats Caps

I'm sure most of you have seen this by now, but if not...pretty classy.  Better head on his shoulders than I had on mine when I was 18.

That made the news down here. I didn't pay close enough attention to realise it was Minnesota.
