Thank god Azevedo don't go to TPS!

Thank god Azevedo don't go to TPS!

Willsie-Azevedo duo would have dominated the rest of the league.
Well, it's good to know it at this point, hopefully Ari Vuori manages to secure a better 1st line centre than Locke for us this time...

Try-out:
Derek Famulare

Interesting try-out for TPS...big Canadian forward from Mestis: TuTo and Famulare has also Finnish passport...is his mother Finnish?
