Shalabajzeri
You know what, Shalabajzeri, we do appreciate the confidence. Playing a starter with zero points (Trey Burton), while still earning the win... talk about arrogant.
Iz Čikaga moji...
Tis the season, Iz Čikaga moji...! We hope the GM of Shalabajzeri will write a thank-you card for the generous 78-point gift this past week.
