Straubing (AFP) - The Hannover Scorpions (Hannover Scorpions? Why? The team name is Straubing Tigers!) of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL) have committed the Canadian goalkeeper Barry chest - LOL. As the club announced on Sunday, the 27-year-old receives a one-year contract.
Breast - LOL - played in the AHL last season champion Binghamton Senators.

In this video the word Brust is NOT about Barry .. just means chest - 

now the line about the blues eyes... well! :-)!

So now Jean Michel Daoust will have another Canadian buddy - albeit from the West - (total of 8 Canadians players with BB, and 1 coach) to play alongside in Straubing, which is a town on the Danube river between Regensburg and Passau (Austrian/Bavarian Border).


 Roman Treasures at Straubing Museum



Straubing, has been settled continously since neolithic times, under the Romans it was a military fort of some importance since the Danube (and other rivers) were "highways of commerce". Although Roman roads provided an opportunity for trade, travel and communication of a scope unknown to the rest of the world, they were primarily built for the rapid deployment of Roman legions. But for the first time one could  receive a letter in Rome, from as far away as northern Gaul, in a few days

(what speed eh?  - A Latin Pony Express :-)! 

Of course military couriers were a considerably more common for letters between commanders, the Senate, the Emperor or various installations, yet a civilian mail service was also booming.

Even today Straubing is an important port, plus a hub for German biotechnologies.

And there you have it..
as usual PROPER NAMES and grammar in google translations leaves us (me for sure) chuckling!
