I think the sponsors should only get it for 82 games and then after that they can piss off. 

Clearly you don't work in marketing.

[Off brand sticks]

I've never looked at prostockhockeysticks. Shift offered a decent deal so I figured it was worth a shot.

[Long strange trip]

When things get tough I go to a TNT lyric that they pulled from Robert Frost, "The only way out is through."

[Off brand sticks]

I never thought I'd move to an "order form" brand but after pulling a Total One NXG PM9 out of the basement  went searching for the pattern. I landed on and pulled the trigger on a couple Shift 23 sticks in the SM9 pattern. After a few skates, the sticks are surprisingly decent. I wasn't expecting much getting 2 for $309 but they perform well enough. The feel in the hands reminds me of a lighter Vapor XX.

[Bauer Concept 3 vs CCM FV1]

If you flip the top clips opposite from the Bauer instructions then that will buy you a little more room. For the period of time that I had the Bauer bubble on my small CCM helmet I did that and it made the fit over the chin better.

The only thing that impacts bad leagues is when lots of teams start leaving. No amount of captains complaining about this, that, and the other has any impact on how leagues are run as long as the league is still getting their money.

Glad you can write off someone you've never met based upon a travel club requiring kids to look uniform.

Pretty cool.

It is mite hockey. If the choice is be a Hawk or be a Duck, I choose be a Duck. I'm guessing this coach chooses the other.

[Do players still rock yellow laces?]

If recent news has reminded us of anything, it is that successful coaches can also be dicks.

[Do players still rock yellow laces?]

I'll still toss them in from time to time but it is so hard to find good yellow laces these days.

Rumor is, Gooner is testing out a new prototype holder made from 100% concrete. 🤣

So his skates and gloves will finally match?

[The "people you may have heard about but probably didn't" death thread.]

Crazy, my boss lives in that neighborhood.

[Proper Faceoff Procedure]

It is beer league. Nobody thinks about Home/Visitor. As long as both guys are pretty square with sticks down, have at it.

[Ovechkin, 5 year/$9.5 million contract]

It will be interesting to see where he finishes with goals. He has been remarkably lucky in the injury department throughout his career.

[Best visor]

While the optics were comparable between the Oakley and Bauer, I preferred the coverage and shapes of the Oakley, specifically the aviator variants.

[Best visor]

Since Oakley dropped out of the visor game, Bauer is the better choice of what is out there.

[Need input from MSH- Iconic stick suggestions needed]

Looks like a Kariya Pro on that thing.

[The "people you may have heard about but probably didn't" death thread.]

She looked 60 when she was 40. Tawny didn't age well but for that one moment in the 80's she was something else.

[CCM Ribcore Skates question]

Weird you don't feel the Ribcore wraps when all folks I know in them rave about the moldability of that line. 

[CCM Ribcore Skates question]

I've been in 70k's for 3 years now and they've held up just fine. 

[Why you shouldn't lace up tight.]

Some people should reread before they hit Submit.

[Could this serious head injury have been prevented with the proper gear?]

Deker, please accept that this discussion has run its course. You asked if a different helmet could have prevented the tragedy. Many responded with "possibly, but with the extremely low probability, it doesn't appear to be a concern for manufacturers or the general hockey public" or something along those lines. That should be the end of it. Your constant repost of the same comments is the internet equivalent of a 4 year old constantly saying, "Why?" Please stop.

 

Signed,

[Could this serious head injury have been prevented with the proper gear?]

I feel like I've suffered a head injury every time I click into this thread.

The chances of getting hit on the side of the head with a puck is far greater than getting your throat slit with a skate.  Even though some people are referring to this as a "freak" accident, i think it was an accident waiting to happen.  I posted a link above of this happening to an NHL player Bryan Little and it effectively ended his career.  I think the issue is helmet design.  They could easily put more padding in the ear area and perhaps even extend it and still have hole(s) to provide for good hearing.  Concussions are an issue yes, but people recover from concussions.  Getting hit in that ear/temple area (and we can see it wasn't that hard of a shot) can be deadly. 

There have been 2 careers ended by fluke pucks near the ear. There have been a stunning number of careers ended due to concussions, and many more that should have been. Ask Marc Savard and Paul Kariya how they recovered from concussions.

[Helmet Ads likely to stay past this season]

This shouldn't surprise anyone.

[Could this serious head injury have been prevented with the proper gear?]

I utterly despise guys who go the high route with dumps, especially in beer league.
