Mauro is god damned wonderful.

I liked him too, but he always struck me as a good third-pairing guy rather than one who could play on the top two pairs.

Memories of Brass Bonanza triggered, also the best goal song in the history of human civilization . Thank you!

To this day, my dad still says he’s “going to The Aces” when heading out to a bar.

These feel like those first Senators/ Blue Jackets unis - a first draft with a kernel of a good identity that will have to be fine tuned:

I was ok with it until the white gloves. Ugh.

White gloves are the ultimate GLORY BOY move.

That’s on the other shoulder.

“Look at the coward trying to jump through the window!!”

This would be a 5 star comment if it was written in the Toyko Dome.

That loud thumping sound you hear as you read this is not the drums of hell, but Jim Cornette’s heart trying to leave its chest out of pure fury and rage.

2005, at Best Buy, just 11. I bought my first two.

Social Distortion - “Mass Hysteria”. I love the drums on this song.

• John Fogerty – lead guitar, lead vocals, harp

That was a good choice. It was Blondie for me. At my neighbor’s garage sale for a dime.

What is the first music you bought with your own money?

I hear there’s a perfectly good arena in Anaheim called the Honda Center but it never gets considered.

Obviously they won’t go. No one in the NBA supports a travel ban.
