To tell you the truth, we never had dial up at home. But I had to download pirated games off people with 56k modems and it was painful.

Internet started to be more interesting when those came.

Short answer: Barry Sherman.

Nope, not kidding.

Here's a fun little fact for you, courtesy of Frankie's Wikipedia page:

Bankruptcy
In November 2007, D'Angelo sold his majority stake in both Steelback and D'Angelo Brands to minority partner Barry Sherman, though D'Angelo remained as chairman of both, holding a minority interest. Later that month, citing poor revenue, high marketing costs and the weak Canadian dollar, D'Angelo announced that both Steelback and D'Angelo Brands had filed for bankruptcy protection.

In early 2008, it was revealed that Steelback and D'Angelo Brands owed Sherman's Wasanda Enterprises Inc. $101.2 million at the time of D'Angelo's "choosing" to sell his stake. D'Angelo was cut out of both companies, with Sherman citing the flamboyant former owner's extravagant spending on advertising (which alone exceeded revenues), as well as the poor quality of the beer that D'Angelo had been producing at Steelback.

Anyone remember what happened to Barry Sherman?

And from Sherman's page:

For fifteen years, Sherman partnered with Frank D'Angelo, a fruit-juice maker who was trying to branch out into other businesses. The two produced the Cheetah Power Surge energy drink and started Steelback Brewery; when D'Angelo Brands went bankrupt in 2007, Sherman lost C$100 million. Sherman continued backing D'Angelo's filmmaking venture even after D'Angelo was arrested on sexual assault and obstruction of justice charges, later dropped, in 2009. Sherman's money financed all eight films D'Angelo made through 2013.

I'd take him at the right price. Feisty guy that doesn't back down and pots a few. Exactly the type of guy you need come playoff time.

Everybody likes Holl except for the fans. It’s always been my opinion that the fans know nothing about the game.

Opposing teams, too. Since they target him every time he touches the ice.

What does D'Angelo actually make money from, since his commercial ventures don't seem to last. I don't want to stereotype Italians here. Actually I'm lying, I love stereotyping Italians.

How does McDavid get 2 breakaways in 15 seconds.

McDavid has never seen what his own end looks like I guess.
