http://www.ctnewsfeed.com/hartford/connecticut-lottery-unveils-hartford-whalers-scratch-off-tickets-puck-treasures-2/ 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? |

Weird, I wonder how that happened. There's been a hope that the NHL will once again return to Hartford, but those dreams remain very, very slim. becomes There’s been a wish that a NHL will once again lapse to Hartford, though those dreams sojourn very, very slim. ... the tickets will be available beginning next Tuesday and cost $3, which is also the minimum prize you can win. becomes: a tickets will be accessible commencement subsequent Tuesday and cost $3, that is also a smallest esteem we can win. What language is "CT News Feed" translating from?! |

I know Connecticut accents are annoying as all hell, but I didn't think they were THAT deficient in English there. It'd be funny if Max Pacioretty and Chris Drury actually talked like that. |
