Sometimes, It gets to a point where I stop watching the Lions after week 3. :wall:

You always have to watch on Thanksgiving though. It’s American tradition for us to lose when everyone’s watching.

That’s the other time I watch them. It’s a sin to not watch football on Thanksgiving.

I always root for them to win & I keep up on scores, but it is hard to watch them every week.

Yeah, they don’t provide a lot of joy. I will say that it’s nice to never have to worry about the postseason though :p

great news from the NHL world...

 

let's begin with this season's restart...

 

finally, Edmonton and Toronto have been officially named the 2 hub cities where all the remaining games are going to be played (in particular, Edmonton will host the Conference Finals and the Stanley Cup Finals)...

 

https://www.nhl.com/news/edmonton-toronto-chosen-as-hub-cities-for-return-to-play-plan/c-317371532

 

play will resume on August, 1st...and this is the schedule of the first stage of the "new" NHL season (the Stanley Cup qualifiers)...

p.s. the 2020 NHL Draft will be held on October 9th & 10th...

then, a lot of things have also been decided on longer terms...

 

first, the CBA extension between the NHL and the NHLPA has been ratified, therefore the new CBA will expire not earlier than September 15th, 2026...

this means that we won't have any strike for quite a long period and, above all, it also means that we are going to see the NHL players back to the Olympic Games in 2022 and especially in my hometown, Milan, in 2026!!! :cheer: :bounce:

32nd NHL team will be announced tomorrow.

 

 

so sad it's all happening in such depressing situation...:(

 

by the way, I'm very happy that we're finally going to have a 32nd team in the League and I'm particularly hapy that this team is based in Seattle, a long time forgotten hockey town with a lot of historical background in this sport...

    • Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Let's do this for a country that is not actually that good in winter sports as well as our Olympic Committee Declining lots of places.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
