@RepPeteStauber You sir are a disgrace. I hope your kickback dollars are all counterfeit. Furthermore, I wish for nothing but you running your shins into trailer hitches every single day for the remainder of your existence on this planet.
@RussoHockey 5’7”.. in this regime?? Clearly, Rossi’s size isn’t the issue as Guerin would have to sign off on this pick, no?
Is Rossi’s personality compatible with Guerin’s idea of Western Conf. big boy F-U hockey? Speaking of Rossi, when is the 3x6.25-6.5 announced?
The Senate’s voting today.
This is the moment. No time to ease up. No time to assume someone else will make the call.
Dial (202) 224-3121 and tell your senators: public lands belong in public hands.

“There’s a Difference.”
They’ll all tell you their trophy’s the hardest to win.
They’ll point to stat sheets and salary caps, to playoff seeds and clutch shots in bright arenas under brighter lights.
And sure, there’s pressure. There’s talent. There’s glory.
But there’s a difference.
The Stanley Cup is not won. It is survived.
You do not hoist it unless you’ve bled for it.
Sixteen wins. Four rounds. Two months of collisions at 30 km/h.
You tape your ribs. Freeze your shoulder. Stitch your face.
You lose sleep, you lose weight, and if you’re lucky—you lose feeling. Because the pain? It’s always there.
The path to Lord Stanley is not built for comfort.
It’s built on blocked shots, double overtimes, shattered sticks, and legs that stopped working three games ago.
You don’t get there with highlight reels. You get there in silence. In cold rinks, on long flights, with trainers whispering: One more game, kid. One more.
And when it’s over?
No dancing. No parades of champagne.
Just a man, sometimes two, holding a silver grail with fingers that can barely grip it.
Not because it’s heavy. But because they are done.
The Stanley Cup isn’t a trophy.
It’s a reckoning.
And not every champion is built to earn it.
@RussoHockey@AnthonyLaPanta@TalkNorthPod Given Wild payroll tied to D-Men and the team wanting an actual 1C- What would a realistic return be for a Rossi & Brodin package? I’d also be open to trading Spurge but Jimmy’s age & contract would seemingly attract more suitors.
What would Larkin cost, assuming do-able?
@RussoHockey Maybe dumb Q since he’s had one already, does Buium get a rookie lap in front of the home fans? Could act as a confidence boost to hear the love from the home crowd.
