Fun (ish) story about that sweater.

I was like 19, had probably 4 dollars in my checking, working at Target, only worried about women. I went to a hockey store here and they had that bitch on sale. It was like 60 bucks, which may have been 6,000 dollars. But I had to have it. Saved up, bought that bastard and wore it all over. Playing hockey, Jets game, Force games, whatever. Loved it. It’s like a thicker old timey sweater, too. Just awesome.

Buddy of mine has a California Golden Seals jersey that is pure. He’s got a Nordiques too. His collection is definitely 3 out of 5 minimum for quality.

I have an extremely dumb confession.

Last night, I mowed my lawn for the first time in a long time and, as I was mowing, I thought “be nice for the Refugees to come see my nice green grass.” I do not care about my lawn, do not know why any of you would be at my actual house, definitely do not care how you would feel about my lawn, yet here we were.

Is it 9/11 yet?

Not dumb at all, I have a couple of rounds at some very well known/ranked course lined up in MSP on the backend of this trip and I honestly haven’t given them any thought recently, just been getting amped for the meetup.

Also, I got excited this morning because we are officially inside the long range forecast window on weather.com (yes, I am old and check the weather multiple times daily). So far so good :crossed_fingers:

I’ll be sure to drive past your house, Fargo/Moorhead can’t be that big, figure it shouldn’t be too tough to find.

Oh my god. I am going to apologize for this early because it is so dumb. Please no one take offense to this.

MONTHS ago a Refugee chat was talking about the Blade Meetup and how we picked a SORT OF SIGNIFICANT DATE for it. Me, being the idiot I am, made this. Totally forgot about it until I was scrolling through my pics.

A dumb logo for a fun meetup based on a bad pun which is probably at least mildly offensive

I am sorry.

Please tell me that is the Fargo skyline.

The Fargo skyline is wheat and cows.

Are you mentally prepared for a 3.5 hr lecture on how the neutral zone trap sucks ass and made hockey unwatchable for a not-insignificant period of time in my youth? Bc if not, you might want to start looking for a new ride north.
