I fully plan on getting a few when I'm in CT.

Couldn't find the original article I'd read about this. This one looks like someone ran a German article through Google-translate. WTF?

Holy crap, yes. There's no way that wasn't insta-translated. And yet the writer credit... is Sean Leahy?

There's been a hope that the NHL will once again return to Hartford, but those dreams remain very, very slim.

the tickets will be available beginning next Tuesday and cost $3, which is also the minimum prize you can win.

Jonathan Quick is bleeped out too often to know if he speaks that way.
