Hey at least this is your first time ever in a hosp.... oh, no wait. In all seriousness, holy shit. That's crazy. I always think of things like losing a tooth as being "horrible" results of a puck to the face. This is horrible! Hope it goes well and that the tylenol gets upgraded sooner than later! Time for a cage?

Agreed, this is going to be the best indicator for people to judge online. OP should be wary of people suggesting X sizes down from shoe size, as I believe many (if not most) people wear shoes that are technically too big for them, especially if they have wide feet. I can almost guarantee that anyone wearing a skate 3+ sizes smaller than their shoe size, has a lot of room between the tip of their toes and the end of their shoe.

Often injuries makes your pronation worse but it can also be a standalone problem. Unless it was debilitating, typically we don't rehab an ankle injury, once we are mobile again the ankle recovers on it's own. Yet the injury has stretched tendons and ligaments and these don't return to their original range of motion. So your lateral range of ankle movement is now greater and you don't have proper muscular control over this increased range of motion. In general life this isn't a problem but put your feet into ice skates and now it causes an issue. Do the exercise, it will help to fix this.

Anyone get any weird/dumb/awesome curves from them lately? Picked up a Malkin-2 and a Backstrom just after US Thanksgiving. I really like the Malkin. It’s like a taller p88 with a bit of a toe curve. The toe is nice for stickhandling, but I can still shoot out of the mid-pocket with my wonky old man mechanics. All these modern super open toe curves kill me. Backstrom looks and plays like a pm9 with a shaved pointy toe. It was billed as a “more lofty p88,” which…I dunno….it doesn’t feel like that to me.

Well it finally happened. I took a shot to the face tonight. All my teeth on my right side are in the middle of my mouth. I’m currently waiting for a CT scan to see if it’s a facial fracture or dental surgery. Thankfully it’s not as painful as I thought it was going to be. But I’m sure that won’t last after it gets fixed. They’re going to give me Tylenol. I’m sure that will help.
