  1. Doctor Who!! Goodbye Matt Smith :( But hello Peter Capaldi!!
  2. Is football more exciting in person? I imagine it would be, but I've never been to a game just because of how slow it is on TV
  3. Jeebus! That just looks flat out unsafe!
  4. Won the club championship in my first season curling :) Obviously it was all my teammates, but it was nice to at least not be a liability :) Edit: Received this bad boy. My first trophy since I was 17! haha
  5. WTF housekeeping apparently took the minibar key when they cleaned my hotel room today, for some reason? GFY!
  6. I have Noicing put "the sauce" on my blades. I honestly have no idea what it actually is (so not 100% sure it's relevant to this thread), but either it works or I have one hell of a placebo effect going on. I'm not a fast guy by ANY stretch of the imagination, but the first game after putting fresh runners on I feel like I'm flying. Maybe a case of post hoc ergo propter hoc going on here for me, but for the dollar or whatever it is, I'll keep doing it.
  7. When are the new gloves expected to hit the shelves?
  8. I'll give them a chance, but I'll still keep a lookout for the old version as well :)
  9. Adding to the stockpile. This is the first pair of the grey/blue model I've had. I don't like it nearly as much as the white model (these are much more bulky, and I don't care for the elbow cap) but still infinitely better than anything else I've managed to find.
  10. Having lived in Norcal, OC and SD, I actually find the weather to be slightly nicer in Orange County, than in San Marcos. But we're just splitting hairs now... I'd agree, too hot in San Marcos. Ideally we'd be in Carlsbad.
  11. Well that didn't take long... I'm out. But at least the new NEW company is pretty awesome and worth posting about in the sweet spot thread :D First day is Dec 2.
  12. I tried them once with superfeet (since they made night and day improvement in previous skates) and it just didn't feel very good. But hey, feel free to try. But maybe it would be a good idea to get them baked with them since the position of your heel is going to change slightly? I figure it can't ever hurt to try. Well, it COULD hurt physically, I suppose... lol.
  13. You win this thread. And that gives me an idea for a new thread...
  14. I agree, I was a Large in all my other elbow pads and a Medium in the 2010 projekts. I've never tried the 2012 model. Actually, crap.. I just realized I bought mediums in those easton pros. I guess we'll see when they arrive tomorrow...
  15. I do :) althoma1 is exactly right. I'm on my second pair of Projekts (due to the stitching coming apart in my first pair after I tried to pull them off without undoing the straps) and have two brand new pairs waiting to be used. All the white 2010 model. I just bought a pair of those Easton Pro elbows to give them a try, since the Projekts are discontinued and I've found nothing even remotely close to being as comfortable. But I'm definitely good for a while. That was my thought when I tried them. I found them to be bulky, or to be more precise they simply felt like I was actually wearing elbow pads. The projekts you can't even tell you're wearing them. Based on the photos on IW I was expecting them to feel very similar (they sure LOOKED similar), but not. even. close.
  16. Thanks, Krev. I'll have a look around for those. The new Warrior AX elbows looked similar in construction but were not even remotely the same feeling when actually on. Edit: Are these the ones youre talking about? http://www.icewarehouse.com/descpage.html?pcode=EPROEP
  17. I tried the elbows and they weren't for me. I'm still trying to find something to replace the Projekts (discontinued) I wear now. Luckily I bought as many clearance pairs as I could find, so I should be good for a while.
  18. very nice. Good call going with the Eastons. I was a bit shocked with them. Went into the store fully expecting to buy CCM CL and ended up not liking them. These were ridiculously comfortable. Like WOW comfortable. And the fact that the knee cap actually bends away from the shin was fantastic for mobility. I was previously in Nexus1000 which were a nice shape, but man I hated the scratchy liner.
  19. New shins: Easton Mako New gloves: Sher-Wood Nexon N6
  20. Nice! Thank you for the reply. I was in HockeyMonkey a couple weeks ago and was randomly trying on gloves (knowing that my beloved Warrior Koncept was discontinued) and put my hands in a pair of N8s. Needless to say, they came home with me. The only issue I have with them is a bit of finger discomfort (the index and pinky fingers), likely due to the lack of stretch from the palm material wrapping around the finger the way they do on those gloves. If the EK is an improvement off the Nexon gloves, then I will be picking up a pair ASAP!
  21. Flew up to Chicago for a 4-day network install. Finished it in 8 hours. Going home first thing tomorrow morning :)
  22. Heh, three years is right around where I'm at. I went home to the Toronto area (Barrie, actually) last month. Normally I go during summer or Christmas, but I haven't seen an Ontario autumn since 2005. Sadly, it rained that entire week. But visiting the HHoF and watching NIN in Toronto made it all worth it :)
  23. NICE! Nothing like playing on NHL ice. We played at Staples a few weeks ago. Had a hard time paying attention to the game, just because I was too busy looking around in awe! The ice was like GLASS! Wow, that's actually a FANTASTIC idea. All AHL and ECHL teams, or just a select few?
