I had such a wonderful time to work with team Sweden in 2018 Winter Olympic.And this highlights of all I have picked up.2018 Winter Olympic Team Sweden Authentic Jersey

Now I was waiting for the pun! Not offended AT ALL. Gotta be able to take a joke in this cruel world!

Is it cool to make a "wow, what a shitty situation" joke or nah? (kidding. That's rough. I hope there are not as many stories like this in your future as you think!)

Well just an update on my progress since my first season last year... I got my new/old gear from GGSU at Xmas time and everything fits well, most importantly, the catcher actually catches pucks haha. In late Jan/ Feb I got asked to fill in for our summer league playoffs as a few goalies were out. I played for one team in the first group and went 2-1 but didn't make it through. Then in the final series one goalie went down and I got called up again and went 3-2 and won the cup! , Boy was I nervous, my team was better but their goalie was on form and it went the distance (5 games series) It really helped my confidence knowing I could hang with some better players than what I will face in Winter We're currently half way through Winter league and although my team is has a couple of better players than last season, I've also improved heaps. My current record is 7-0-1 with 1.14 GAA and .931% we're coming second to a team who have let in 11 goals in 11 games! We've played them twice and tied 2-2 and just last weekend we won 3-1 that was an awesome game form our guys. I've even lost my nerves and don't need a beer beforehand anymore, I can just enjoy the game now. But sometimes will still have a beer, because why not 😉

Cut the underside of my thumb on my table saw yesterday. Pretty bad. Lost quite a bit of tissue. There wasn’t anything left to stitch and close the wound. So it’s going to be a long healing process. Maybe a month. Most frustrating thing is I just got cortisone shot for my SI joint and was feeling good. Guess I won’t be skating for a couple weeks at the earliest.

I examined one yesterday. They are very different to the old ones. The plastic is black, and at least twice as thick, maybe more, which presumably improves durability. Also they have a thin layer of padding on top, apart from the front toe area, which should improve comfort, although mine are very comfy. My only concern is that the increased thickness will reduce the skate depth, which might make lace bite more likely, hopefully not. Other than that, I’m sure they will be good. I’m a huge fan of the originals even though my first pair only lasted 1 year.
