I barely pull my Makos tight until the 3rd last eyelet. The entire top of my foot is only just barely snug.

Just got a text: "I got a goalie that just canceled do you want to play?" Seriously.

Heh yea. I once told him I'd be there and he said "okay, thanks". I don't know, maybe it's just my weird logic, but to me that means "yes, I understand that you will be coming". I guess not. I show up and theres another goalie there. I email him back asking him WTF happened and he's like "I never confirmed you were playing." WTF else does "okay, thanks" in response to "I'll be there" mean then, exactly? Luckily in that situation the other goalie didn't actually want to play that night anyway, he had some other commitment he was bailing out of to play, so I got to play anyway. Either way like I said, he needs me more than I need him. With how many rinks are now in the area I'm not too worried about it.

Yup, I know. He could have just said that instead of being a dick. Oh well, it's not like there's nowhere else that needs goalies.

Who knows. I was mostly confused how showing up consistently for an entire year (and giving at least a week notice when I wasn't going to be there) doesn't make me a regular. Keep in mind this pickup is super organized... they supply jerseys and socks and post lineups when you arrive so you know what team you're on and what line and position. So it's quite a bit different than most pickups. Either way, I sent the conversation to a friend of mine who also plays in the same pickups, and my dad pipes up: Sometimes my dad can be pretty funny/awesome.

Well, no more pickup hockey for me I guess. Now that rookie league is over on Thursdays, I guess I'll be going from playing goal three nights a week down to just one. Oh well.

If your Grafs feel better then your fit is definitely off. Your VH should be like wearing tennis shoes.

Just snug should be plenty in both VH and Mako. You're not trying to bend a ski boot around your foot anymore.

Well, another season, another championship loss. 5-2 this time. At least I can say it wasn't a bunch of "bad" goals like last time. They earned all of them, and were the far better team. Oh well. Moving up to D5 next season!

Good lord those are sexy. New insoles?

I definitely could not get the makos on my feet before baking them. No chance.

Including me.

How do the girls have such nice hair after playing?? Lol

That's why I used quotes. It's nothing that hasn't been happening since the beginning of time, but now they're all so sensitive and get their feelings hurt so easily the result is very different than it used to be.

I had my edges tour shirt on, and they also gave out an updated version. They also now have a special edition remaster of the album with a second disc of rarities.

Maybe it was just me but when I was a kid the idea of wearing something extra made me feel cool. Like "yea I need these because I block so many shots". But that was also like 20 years ago. Kids these days have to fit in or they get "bullied".

This was probably my 10th time. This was one of their Edges of Twilight 20th anniversary tour; they played the entire album all the way through and then played a short second set of other stuff. Amazing show as always.

Just saw The Tea Party live, again. Flew all the way from San Diego to Barrie, ON just for that. Well worth it! Amazing show! VIP laminates help ;)

Get him a set of shot blockers.

I didn't even want to bother editing this one. Keep in mind these videos show ALL the goals AND saves from that night. There aren't many saves in this one. Just wasn't my night. Embarrassing.

I assume you're the guy in red, yes? Deeper knee bend, get those feet back under you. Search on YouTube for "howtohockey" they have some really good skating mechanics videos.

Lectric Shave and Magic Eraser work really well on jenpro. Gear ready for next season :)

Cool, I'm curious how the silver actually looks. I considered it but went with white instead.

Ah, makes sense with kids :) We have a Volvo XC90 that I think would be great for kids with the 3 rows, we don't have any kids though. Great for driving the goalie bag to and from the rink though ;)
