  1. I like them, they play pretty gritty and have pretty good players. Pollack is a bit slow for this level of play but did give some hard hits and defended the crease.
  2. by far, I think the most skilled player on the USA team I believe is Patrick Kane. His speed, puck handling and shot is just top notch.
  3. I wish I had this line up on my team. Parayko is big and has a booming shot. Gostisbehere is speedy and moves the puck up quick. Matthews has tremendous puck handling and control, McDavid is so fast and skilled. I hate to say but Eichel is the weak link..........sigh. I wish I had these problems.
  4. Hey JR, its been a while. I hope your thinking something good about me ? I can't really say everything is good with me, but I will say one thing that absolutely made my year. The Leafs winning the Auston Matthews sweepstakes. Its funny, they did a story about last years and this years lottery sweepstakes. When it came down to the last ball being pulled in both years, Toronto had the best odds of winning the Conner McDavid sweepstakes. I think given the combinations, Toronto had a 4 out 11 chance, while Edmonton had 1 out 11 chance. This year it was the opposite with the Oilers with the best chance of winning the Conner McDavid sweepstakes based on only 1 last ball left. Toronto had the worst odds. I was very fearful the Leafs were going to get the short straw again. http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/toronto-maple-leafs-were-one-number-away-from-getting-connor-mcdavid-at-nhl-draft-lottery/ http://www.tsn.ca/how-the-maple-leafs-won-the-draft-lottery-1.481476
  5. who should I play with as line mates ? Too many highly skilled options............sigh. I wish I had this problem.
  6. who are you referring to ? if its Hamilton, then thats another draft year
  7. isn't Weber bigger and stronger than PK in terms of size ( clearing out the opposition in front of the crease) ? 6'4" and 236 lbs vs 6' and 210 lbs
  8. kind of sounds like it. Bernier had pretty good numbers with LA Kings before getting trading. We shall see, but from my experience, these types of trades seldom pan out the way you hope. Ie. Cory Schneider from Vancover to New Jersey.
  9. Thinking more about the contract status of both of these players I think its about even, can't really squeeze much more in terms of drafts/assets. Both players have issues and conditions. Both players have huge contracts so its hard to find another trading partner to take on that salary/term. For Montreal, I really think they are only going to keep Weber for 4-5 years max. His contract runs for another 10 years which at that time he is almost 40 years old. However, the last 4 years, salary is super cheap, $1 million each of the last 3 years. The cap hit is still high at almost $8 million each year so this may be of high desire for budget teams trying to reach the minimum cap floor like Arizona and Columbus. https://www.capfriendly.com/players/shea-weber
  10. I am not sure if this is the final straw that broke the camel's back but with 3 minutes to go and the score tied 2-2, you better make sure the puck doesn't end up at the back of your own net. Rarely, do you hear a coach call out a player and say he is "selfish". It cost them minimum one point in the standings and possible chance of a win in overtime. The worst part is I believe is your own team mates lose their focus and confidence. Same thing with goalies, once the goalie lets a couple soft ones in, the team loses their confidence. http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/canadiens-coach-michel-therrien-not-backing-down-from-subban-comments/

  13. you need some confidence and a fresh/another perspective.Your position isn't that bad, imagine all those kids who are living on their own with no help/money. I remember the girl who sat beside me in university and she was on her own. She rented her own room and paid for university on her own. When she wasn't in class she would always be working at the local coffee shop to pay her bills. There was no money/time for discretionary spending such as going out to eat or fun activities like watching a movie. Be careful what you ask for you, you might just get it. But don't worry about it, I gone through the same thing. I was studying in university and stayed up to midnight most nights at the library for four years straight. I gave up a lot of social activities and fun during those years, but I don't regret it and it really opened the doors for me. Things can really be worse off in life, just this past week I was reading/watching the news and apparently parents were climbing up the walls of a building in India to help their kids cheat. I understand the cheating part, but if someone slips and falls from the building its probably game over. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-31998343

  15. Do you remember how much they were and if its still possible to get a pair ? thx.
  16. what the heck are those pants for ? Practice ? They look like Cooperalls, how much ?
  17. I saw this free skate sharpening ad for Sportchek, up to 3 pairs of skates - August 4 - 30th. I don't know about the quality but it is free. http://img5.imageshack.us/i/dsc03922r.jpg/
  18. Haha, we now know who you are. You are the guy standing outside the store wearing the Maple Leafs gloves with stick in hand. The only thing you were missing was a hockey puck for practice. We were standing and thinking this guy is hardcore and ready for action. :lol: Anyhow, good pick up. Some of the kids waiting in line wanted your sticks because they were the ideal height and flex. Too many people bought sticks that they can't properly use, too stiff and wrong lie.
  19. I think its a bit hard to compare when you have a single replacement blade matched up with the OPS. When you fipped the blades over and took a picture of the bottom, did you grab and hold by the hosel ? I find it tends to sandwich together because the hosels taper in. I personally like to put the blade in a shaft and line up the shafts together then compare the curves. From the first set of picture you took (both blades with white tape) it looks like original Samsonov has a little bit more curve and opens up a bit more too. Just my personal view, I could be wrong.
  20. wow, those are Easton grahite T-flex blades, where did you find those ? what would you say the lie is ?
  21. I would say the chance of that happening is close to zero. I am a Leafs fan and to be honest if I were the opposition I would have very little interest in trading for their 3rd line players. I rather dip into the unrestricted FA pool. There are still some decent players unsigned.
  22. Is it glue or resin ? If its resin, then its going to be a bitch and a half to heat it hot enough to get to budge. Also, for gymonster. Since he hacked off the blade he might as well measure the inside length and width of the shaft. I think the necessary measurements is 14 x 26 mm for a tapered blade. If its something like 13 mm then he is going to have to start cutting up higher in order to fit his new tapered blade in. The Warrior resin is soft enough that you can heat it with a heat gun and not do damage to the shaft. so Inno/Warrior sticks are in the same class as TPS and Mission sticks where you can heat and pull the blades out ?

  24. I went through the same difficulty myself. One member told me that he needed to heat it for at least 10 minutes before trying to pull. Unfortunately I already cut the blade off by then.
