I posted some of the footage taken onto our teams FB page and they all couldn't believe how bad they looked, I walked int oteh room last night and they were all rarked up and ready to go. They were talking amongst themselves about how they're slow to pucks, not moving their feet and not looking where they're passing etc. They also said they noticed that most goals I let in were because they've let guys in the slot with a free shot. I got them to do 1 minute of warmup with long shots on me then 1 minutes of 1v1's It definitley helped to get my eye dialed in on seeing the puck into me. The game started and it was like a new team, I saved the my first shot and had a litlte flurry of shots that I stopped and my confidence was very high and the guys seemed to feed off that. In the room after everyone was stoked about their effort. We even killed a 5 on 3! I'm soooo gutted that my gopro managed to get about 2 seconds of footage before shutting down due to no battery as it would have been nice to watch. Onwards and upwards. I did it. 1st win and a SO to boot! Thanks for the little pointers, they all add up. I've got a little stockpile of Westvleteren 12's from my trip to Belgium this year that I'm gonna have to dip into tonight to celly. [/URL]

I wonder how it would do in the VT testing? It's funny. I played some junior hockey over in Sweden in the late 70's. Everyone wore these helmets. Never any head injuries. Maybe today we should respect each others heads more, and not just try to build bigger helmets.

Realizing the money my grandma left me when she passed away in 97 is unavailable to me when I asked for access to a small portion of it because of the way my father managed the account due my grandma's boyfriend being an incompetent ?!#&. Hurray...

Didn't know that was a thing.

My senior going to UW Madison should have went to UMD which is the the Harvard of the upper Midwest. Not sure I can forgive her.

That Chesty looks like a bit of a beast, at least you get to try stuff on for size before you buy it. I'm sure it'll add a few % on the old stats.

Did not play well today. :( My brain is still lagging from the Germany trip (aside from the time shift, got used to a routine of food/tourism/rehearsal/food/perform/tourism/sleep) and I couldn't track for beans. There was a little lack of defence but a lot of the goals were just plainly me being slow or out of sorts. However, I bit the bullet and went out and got a new chest protector. It took some discussion and perusal, because I have a senior-size torso and intermediate-size arms. Tried a warrior ritual classic and liked the fit, but the arms were too long. Tried a Bauer, same problem. Another CCM and a warrior, both felt too bulky. Vaughn, not quite sufficient in the torso and arms too long. Finally, finally we arrived at a Brian's SubZero 3. Pretty mobile even off the rack, confident it'll loosen up nicely, and stunningly, the arms fit. As an added bonus, within my price range, although on the high side. The very top of the arm is soft, it velcros into the body, if I really wanted I could have it tailored up permanently, but it works well as-is. Looking forward to giving it a go soon, although the first skate I might need some help struggling into it.

Buying a full set of tires unexpectedly. One of the few times AWD vehicles suck.
