The Capitals Equipment sale was quite the opposite of the Ducks sale. Used equipment was almost half the price of new equipment with exception for a game used Ovechkin stick that was prices twice as much as new at $150. I was able to pick up Nicklas Backstrom's APX gloves (for myself), Mikhail Grabovski's 11K gloves (for a friend), some practice jerseys, compression undershirts, four brand new sticks which were OV, John Carlson, Eric Fehr (for a friend), and David Kolomatis. I've had pretty good luck at these sales. Past two I've gotten Brook Laich's X:60 gloves, Troy Brouwer Nexus Stick, Mike Green RBZ and Easton Stealth Stick, and an Alex Semin Total One Stick. All put to good use for my rec league hockey.

I have decided to publicly forgive some former band mates.

Ive got a converted pair, coming from a pair of mission t.6's i definitely notice an improvement to my game. Turning and top speed are the two areas i notice it most in. Truly i think id like a bit of stiffer boot but they are the best skates I've had to date.

Just finished my second interview for a new job and it looks promising. the new dilemma is the fact I have a potential deal at another job at a local shop. Probably the best problem I've had in the past ten years

Just got contacted to schedule an interview... first since the debacle I posted about this past Winter.

Came up huge at the Ducks sale. Really wanted a pair of Ducks pants and they ended up having a ton of pairs in my size. Literally had my pick of Bauer, Easton, Reebok, or Warrior. The Bauers fit the best so i snagged em. $50 Bucks for Brand new gear! I didn't mess with the game worn gear..it was more expensive and really beat up. Also got the Reebok/Jofa 7K Shoulders for $50, and a pair of Bauer Shells for $20. They had a TON of autographed/game used sticks for anywhere from 100-500 bucks. Again, I stuck to the new stuff, it was cheaper and literally brand new. But if you are a lefty, you literally had your choice of some of the best sticks made for 50-100 bucks. Rightys had a MUCH smaller selection, but I ended up with the Reebok Ai9 90 Flex, Smith-Pelly Curve (mostly cuz i fanned out on having one of his sticks) and then a great CCM RBZ 85 Flex with a Staubitz curve. They gave everyone a free Laundry bag to carry their stuff around in and I ended up with Kyle Caulders. They had a ton of official game jerseys but none in my size. I wish I would've slowed down and really looked everything over, but i really wanted sticks and pants so I rushed to those when they let everyone. As i was walking out I noticed a large table of skates, but I had spent all the loot i wanted to spend at that point. Oh well, next year.
