Watched the Leafs win in Anaheim tonight! What a great time my wife and I had! MASSIVE contingent of Leaf fans drowning out the building with the GO LEAFS GO chant, too!

Thanks man, but quite a different setup for me. I only have HDMI on my Xbox E. No big deal, I got this adapter Turtle Beach sells: http://www.turtlebeach.com/support/entry/830517528 But have to exchange the headphones themselves because the transmitter is damaged. New rant: Going to have to find a new team... Again. This is the 3rd team in 3 years that has decided to move up a division. Getting kind of tired of it, to be honest. I guess Ill be sending my new team-colored pants back...

What brand did you buy? If it wasn't Turtle Beach you made a mistake. It was. I know nothing and it was on a whim because I was bored, so I just grabbed the cheapest ones that were wireless with the big ear cups. X42 or something. About $150. While trying to figure out how to connect them (my xbox360 doesn't have SPDIF so I had to order an HDMI splitter online) I realized the transmitter wasn't powering on via the USB port on the xbox. Dunno why. But since the adapter arrived in the mail yesterday I guess I'll be trying to exchange these.

Sher-Wood Rekker EK15 Sr. Hockey Gloves Size 13 Black/White/Red Length of use: Approx two months Player profile 5'9" 240lbs, 1 beer league game per week Hand type: small hands and fingers Previous gloves used: Sher-Wood Nexon, Warrior Koncept, Bauer Supreme Fit 9/10 The best way to describe the fit of the EK15 is that they have the palm tightness of a Supreme glove, and the cuff of a Vapor glove. In that way, they are quite similar to the Warrior Koncept gloves I had been wearing. The fit itself is also nearly identical to the Nexon gloves. I found that they were quite stiff when they were brand new, to the point where I had a bit of difficulty gripping my stick well. After sweating in them a bit, it was no issue. And then after a couple games they softened right up and now they are SUPER comfortable. Like the Nexon gloves, the inner edge of index finger and pinky finger are solid pieces of palm material, unlike most gloves that have gusset material on the edges. At first it felt a bit weird to not have the stretch there that I'm used to, but once the gloves broke in a bit it felt perfect. Protection 10/10 These are easily the most protective gloves I've ever worn, period. I actually took a puck in the hand last weekend and barely felt it (wrist shot, I'm sure I would have felt a slap shot!) The plastic inserts are a great addition. Weight 9/10 These are about exactly what you'd expect from a top tier glove. A little heavier than some of the mid-range gloves I've worn in the past, but nowhere near enough to really think about it at all while playing. Durability 10/10 No issues to complain about so far. Very little palm wear at all, and no loose stitching etc. The reinforced palm is fantastic. Intangibles 10/10 I really have no complaints with this glove, which is strange for me. Usually there's always SOMETHING I'm nitpicking about, that makes me continuously looking for a new model. With Warrior discontinuing the Koncept, I'm extremely happy I have the Nexon and EK15 a try. Also, the cool-tech liner is fantastic! Conclusion I will absolutely be buying a pair of these in black/white once they are released. I had been extemely happy with the Nexon gloves I had previously, and these are very similar in fit and feel, but with a few minor tweaks. OVERALL SCORE: 9.5/10

Definitely a few steps up in quality/protection. That's not necessarily a good thing for me as I actually like how flexible the one60s are, but I'm sure for many it's a positive. The tailbone protection is infinitely better than in the one60. The leg zippers are the larger plastic ones, which I prefer (so they don't catch when zipping them up). And then for me I find the belt to be much better. It's in a better place (a bit higher up than on the one60, which is good for somebody with a gut). I haven't worn them in a game yet, but I'm pretty excited to do so now.

Bought my first gaming headset for my xbox. Got it home, and it doesn't work. That's what I get for even trying.

Our team wears the old 2010 Penguins winter classic jerseys (which are supposed to be worn with navy pants/helmet/gloves), but everyone on my team wears all black. So while I'd personally prefer to wear my navy gear, it makes more sense to match everyone else. That said, it's VERY hard to find stuff that is BLACK and light blue. Navy/light blue is easy. So when I saw these, I jumped on them. Reebok 16K "custom" pants from TotalHockey: I bought them without ever trying them on, but I'm honestly shocked at how well they fit. I haven't bought new pants in years because I couldn't find anything I liked more than the One60 pants I had. These are FAR more comfortable (especially in the waist where my gut is). I almost think I wouldn't need suspenders with these (but will wear them anyway).

What is this wet stuff coming down from the sky?

We had to turn on the A/C this past weekend :P

I think I heard May? I'm not sure. I would guess somebody mentioned it elsewhere on the forum, but not sure where.

If it felt good without baking, just wait until you bake them! It's like a hiking boot. Nice and snug all the way around your foot! I'd definitely wait for the mako 2 at this point though. Both because of the looks and because you won't risk the mako bumps ;)

I took one right off the toe. Dear lord that hurt. Skate fenders wouldn't have helped me there, though.

Saddest day in a long time. I’ll be enjoying a Nestle Crunch bar in memory of Harold Ramis today. RIP Egon Spengler! Seriously considering going out in full GB uniform today...

Well at least they won their silver medals without the pain of mako bumps! ;)

Decals on a helmet does not void warranty. I'm curious where you heard they do? Yes the big white warning label can come off. The certification labels should stay on.

Glenn Healy is up there. His man-crush on Carey Price is almost gag-inducing.

Not a chance in hell I would ever do that. How about this, if the US wins I'll tape my stick with the same color as the stars on your flag.

Ugh, account managers. Making my life difficult.

Just for the Olympics :)

A brand new (now my 3rd) Sher-Wood T90 Undercover slim-fit. Taped, waxed, and ready for action this weekend!

Wife and I have decided we will be moving to Canada in two years, shortly after I gain my US citizenship.

I highly doubt any are. Hell, the only ice skates that are similar are the VH.

I scrolled through the catalog hoping to see them bring back the white projekt elbows, knowing full well that they wouldn't be there. Did it anyway.

You can hire pet-sitters, if you weren't aware of that option.

Just had my initial email conversation with Scott regarding an order :)
