Stronger Than Hate

EthanFlatten November 28, 2018 0 Comments

It All Comes Down To Hope We’re going a little off-topic today because I feel like it.  I want to talk about this fantastic “Stronger Than Hate” patch I just received from the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation.   Now, everyone that knows me, knows that I am a Montreal Canadiens fan through and through.  I bleed blue,…
