This is an old thread, but they are available on some models still, like the A5.2 / 6.0 SBP. However, they probably won't be on newer sticks.

I can't remember where I saw it, but Bauer removed a layer of carbon fiber from the blade to reduce weight. Presumably, each layer that remains is strengthened in some way.

I think it's from a dumb, loud minority on twitter who shouldn't be blaming him; because he's a good player on a good team. However, a lot of Isles fans predicted that Leafs fans were gonna get pissed when JT goes into his usual slump, so we're enjoying it right now.

Leafs fans are already turning on JT. EDIT:

My grandmother was hospitalized last night. Probably nothing but she's fairly old and has had heart issues recently so I'm worried. Not sure how she even got there considering she lives alone and is really stubborn when it comes to going to the doctor.

Glad to see them coming back, this is one of my favorite jersey designs.

If I had to guess about my Islanders, Lee, Bailey, and Boychuk would be very worthy guys to get an "A", considering that Lee is a great leadership type guy, Bailey loves the Island and has been here through thick and thin, and Boychuk has a Cup to his name and is a real 'grit guy'. Barzal feels like a long shot for this season, and any of the fourth liners (Martin, Clutterbuck, and Cizikas) would make sense too.

I've never seen David Wright play in person before, but luckily I got a ticket to his final game at third base.

Ottawa isn't even guaranteed a first round pick in the deal, nor did they get a 'top' prospect. San Jose has one of the best top pairs in the league now and the Sens seem to keep falling.

His demeanor and play on the ice at times makes a little more sense, though that's obviously not the most important thing. Even more reason to pull for him to succeed this season. EDIT: The Athletic has made this article free for everyone.

I saw some speculative tweets from Brian Compton and Joe Smith, both of which have worked closely with NHL franchises (Smith covers the Lightning for the Athletic now) that the move was because he wanted to spend time with family more, as his wife was back in Michigan and his daughters were all in college; which required a lot of travel on his end.

Being able to buy nice things with my own money that I earned.

McDavid's got a p45 iirc.

I saw the same thing earlier and had the same question.

I've been loving my subscription. The writing staff is very impressive for almost every team and they're expanding to soccer and CFB as well. Not having ads is awesome and the mobile app is good too. They run a lot of sales (like Scott said, I got mine for $36 at the start of the MLB season), and existing users have a 25% referral code [can PM it to you if interested].

I just worked a 4 week temp job in our town's conservation program and got exposed during the third week. I'm over the worst of it but I'm using Calamine, Hydrocortisone, and Zertec to get rid of it. Mostly on my left forearm and wrist, right calf (where it's probably the worst, there's been a huge plaque of the stuff for about 10 days), and left ankle. Still pretty itchy though.

Poison Ivy. God damn this stuff takes forever to go away.

I still don't get the speculation that he's gonna get a C. Too quiet, disappears for long stretches on the ice, not a particularly public or outgoing person. I could see an A for his skill on the ice and maybe his ability to bring the younger guys along but the C would be a stretch to me.

We aren't, for the most part (have to qualify that because there are some shitheads calling him evil and hoping he dies and burning his jersey, none of which are okay). He exercised his right to listen to what other franchises had to offer and eventually join one of them. What's really upsetting to us is the way he did it. For years we were told that he only wants to stay here, finish the Drive for Five that started in 1983. The new, willing - to - spend ownership did what they could to appease him. There was finally stability in the arena situation and we were leaving Barclays Center behind. Garth Snow and Doug Weight, both of whom Tavares reportedly felt close to, were kept in the organization but replaced by more competent counterparts to keep their star happy. Ledecky and Malkin let him focus on his game instead of his contract like he asked, and Garth complied with Tavares' request not to be moved at the deadline. If he decided to stay the team could have flipped their draft capital for another piece or used it to supplement free agent signings. He gave management no direction. Then he stopped talking after holding court in LA. Our offseason plans were dependent on if JT was going to re-sign and he told us nothing. If he was even conflicted, Lou should have been told so that he could make plans. Nobody was told anything. Then he kneecapped us and left at the eleventh hour so that we were behind on free agency. His 'goodbye' was two stock, nonspecific tweets. Then he posted the picture of him as a kid, like he knew all along. He forgot Mat Barzal's name when mentioning his tenure in New York. I'm not mad he left, that's fine and completely understandable. How he left was unforgivable. This reddit post does a much better job of explaining it.

Tavares leaving killed me as an Islanders fan. He really seemed to have turned heel and set back the franchise again. At least we have Barzal, Beauvillier, Bellows, Wahlstrom, Dobson, and Ho - Sang [who seems like he'd benefit under Lou and Barry].

-Trotz confirmed as the new coach with a four year contract. -The Islanders are now playing 20 games at the Coliseum next season, not twelve. Apparently players wanted more games there. -JT is close to signing, and will at some point sit down and talk with Trotz and Lou. Today has been very good for this team.

Not yet, and apparently Trotz was spotted at an airport in NJ yesterday. Lou, in all likelihood, is going to have his coach sorted before the draft, and the fact Trotz just won a cup is probably appealing to Tavares. Ownership has the money to pay what Barry is looking for, something that old Isles ownership couldn't say. Sheldon Keefe also, IIRC, hasn't spoken to any other teams and isn't likely to.

Yup - https://www.icewarehouse.com/CCM_Super_Tacks_AS1_Grip_Sticks_Intermediate/descpage-CTA1I.html

Apparently there was an extension on the table. Wonder where he goes now...

But no way he'd only take one year.
