I think the Stanley cup is hockey, but that's as far as my knowledge go.

I'm rooting for your team though!!!!!!!!!!

Lightning are okay, given that they are Stevie Y's team.

I don't like the name of the Golden Knights, but I'm also peeved that the league felt that they should be a winning team right out of the gate. Fans should have to prove their mettle by waiting at least 41 years for a Cup! (That was the number of years that the Red Wings had a drought).

I live in Seattle and it also grinds me that Las Vegas, with no hockey history, got a team, while Seattle, with a former history and a natural rival in Vancouver, is still waiting.

the Habs in 1917. A point of fact they were immediately competitive as a result of Toronto players being offered very lucrative salaries to join the squad.

I also know that Detroit would have won more Cups in the 1950s than they did because the Wings and Blackhawks had the same owners, who broke up the Wings and sent some of their stars to Chicago. So I hate Chicago, even though I wasn't born when it happened.

Okay, now conjugate that it Latin.

I guess it's the future subjunctive, or the pluperfect.

It can't be the future perfect, since it has been discovered not to be...

With regards wine, I really like All Saints Moscato from Mornington Peninsula.

Also like cider occasionally, in particular Harcourt Apple and Pear.

My favourite cocktails are Rin Quin Quin and Bramble.

It's made a few miles from me and I love going out to the vineyards in the summertime and going on the tasting tours. They even let my son taste the non alcoholic juices.

Sometimes I switch to a white zin for a little sweetness. I actually don't drink very much, but I enjoy a glass or two.

If I drink a cocktail, it's usually a vodka and tonic or rum and coke.
