It was a cold, but relaxing offseason morning at Torino Golf, Jimmy Wagner and his wife Kate had just attended the wedding of their friends Jean-Uthred and Gunnar the night before and were enjoying a breakfast at one of the affiliated cafes with Ruggs McOoooh and Elizabeth Doyle. The three SHL players were sharing tea about their SHL comrades, much to Kate's delight. She loved the gossip and had picked up a tabloid in her home language somewhere in the trip and was flipping through it as the hockey players gossiped. Obviously the attendees of last night's festivities were at the top of the list, but they were interrupted by Kate laughing about something she read. "Oh, we're apparently getting a divorce" she mused.

Jimmy laughed and reached for the tabloid as Doyle plotted a theory. "Is she shacking up with the Izzy kid?" the goalie asked as Jimmy scanned the pages.

"No, apparently he was here last night and I did." he laughed as Kate slammed a fist on the table. "God damn it, let me have my my affair in peace!"

The few other patrons of the cafe who turned to the commotion and laughter were blessed with a beautiful moment of Ruggs laughing so hard he blew juice out of his nose onto Doyle's pancakes, sending the table into another laughing fit. Jimmy continued to read through the tears of laughter, "Yeah, apparently Vinny Fox and Granny PanPan are more than just a defensive pair (@Benpachi, @Jimmysmo27, @GrannyPanPan), Karl Krashwagen and Nathan Thomas are getting married this offseason (@SewingWithNancy, @KaleSalad, @CementHands)."

"I'm so confused," said Ruggs, finally recovered enough to talk again "I thought I read this past week that Vinny had the hots for that Jammin kid?" (@Mazatt, @James Truong)

Doyle laughed and gave him a wink.

"Maybe he does, you never know what might be true in those pages"
