St Cannoli

Just a mid 20’s Cannoli loving Italian.

@Flux_cc Would love to get Pettersson, but man I wish Rutherford and Alvin were still at the helm to get some additional assets back in a trade.

[St Cannoli @StCannoli]

@WildStrong23 @DarrenDreger @RussoHockey And the same agent that Crosby, uses this seems like a nothing burger.

@HunterHodies Lets be real they might not even have rocks.

@Flux_cc The only way I’m okay with it is if they us send Savoie+ the 2028 first and they retain half of Nurse’s salary.

⚠️ Carter Hart is the first goalie to concede 4+ goals in each of the first 5 games of a Stanley Cup Final. #ForgedInGold

@HunterHodies Watch them pivot to Berube or go crawling back to Woodcroft.

@HunterHodies To think some believed this series would be boring.

thank you @Steve_Dangle you are the only one brave enough and it matters to so many of us

i felt the need to tag because he will be hearing a lot of negativity from bros who don’t care about the safety of women and imo he deserves the thanks from people it mattered to

@MattisRedacted Man it feels like every year since 2020 has kept upping the ante for nuttiest year.

@Nikkitavia Everything has it’s time and everything must come to an end. That being said it certainly doesn’t seem like this is the last we will see of the Destiny Universe.

@Veno202 We need an actual closer so badly.

I kept this story in my pocket for a long time....

In Pittsburgh, September 15th is Roberto Clemente Day.

Every year the whole organization fans out across the city. It's like Christmas. Roberto's family is there, Vera and the boys.

My first year as manager was 2011. We celebrated. We shook hands and moved on.
We didn't win.

19 consecutive losing seasons.

2012 rolls around. Same day, same celebration. We had another losing season, our 20th consecutive.

After the ceremony, Roberto Jr. walked over.

"My mom wants to talk to you."

We went into the dugout. Me, Vera, and her three sons.

She spoke in Spanish. I played four years of winter ball so I understood enough. She wasn't angry, but she was passionate. And I kept hearing Roberto's number come up.

Roberto Jr. translated.

"My mother wants you to know that there cannot be a 21st losing season. That was Roberto's number. It would be a disgrace to his legacy."

She was staring right at me.

Before I could even think about what to say, words came out of my mouth:
"I promise you, Vera. That won't happen."

Roberto Jr. looked at me and said, "You made my mom a promise. I hope you can keep it."

I said, "I hope I can keep it too."

I didn't tell my coaches. I didn't tell the players. I told my wife. That was it.

The next year, 2013, we broke the consecutive seasons losing streak. Ended it at 20.

On Roberto Clemente Day that September, Vera came walking across that field.

And I probably got one of the most meaningful hugs I've ever received in my life.

The players did all the heavy lifting. I just got the hug.

Some promises are worth making before you know if you can keep them.

Watt was better than Myles and today Myles is better than Watt. That's ok.

When Watt had 20+ sacks you said sacks didn't matter and only win rate. Even though Watt had superior stats in every category.

Now that Garrett had 20 sacks, all of a sudden, sacks matter again.

[St Cannoli @StCannoli]

@HunterHodies I kinda feel bad for Vancouver. Has never help a first overall, and was one of the worst teams I’ve seen in a while.

@Mazursky8895 Getting Louis would be sick.

[St Cannoli @StCannoli]

@Mazursky8895 You know what I like it especially with Jones future unknown.

[St Cannoli @StCannoli]

@Mazursky8895 This has to be coming from Beck’s agents because his arm might as well be string cheese.

[St Cannoli @StCannoli]

@Veno202 The only explanation is that someone used a monkey’s paw this offseason.

[St Cannoli @StCannoli]

@Alex_Kozora That’s the most petty thing ever, and I wouldn’t expect anything less.
