⚡🦅 THE #HALIFAX #THUNDERBIRDS ARE OFF TO THE #NLL CHAMPIONSHIP FINAL! ⚡🦅

Now would be a perfect time to resurrect the idea of renovating the old #Halifax Forum and use it as a #PWHL arena. Increasing the seating to 15,000. There is more space over there, than there is downtown.

Mitch Marner with a hat trick last night lol. He has been cured of his #LeafsForever disease.

The Victoire lost, but so did the Fleet (YAY), so they cross each other out. Also, the Habs won, so not a bad night overall.

This Anglo-Saxon pendent was found in Kent. It’s a gold disc with delicate & minute filigree. Three cloisonné birds’ heads radiate from the centre, filled with garnet. The most remarkable thing is that this is just over 3cm across. It makes the craftsmanship even more impressive. 🕰️ Early C7th 🏛️📷BM

This is pretty funny. It’s an often raised complaint that the NHL doesn’t put the #StanleyCup #Playoffs logo on the ice anymore, so the #PWHL is like, I got you.
