    So I get to the airport. I ask to get on an earlier flight. She says she has a spot, grabs my bag, and then hands me a new boarding pass - except its one of those "get your boarding pass from the gate" things. I go through security (which is easily the worst Ive ever seen. How the f*ck is SJC worse on a wednesday night is than IAD is on a Friday night??? And why the sh*t do they put families with kids in the first class security line?? So I'm stuck behind 3 families, plus a woman who has two carryon bags, a shopping bag, her purse, and then three bins full of her sh*t, who cant get the f*ck out of the way while shes putting her ridiculous boots back on so I have to wait for that too) I finally get to the gate, and they hand me a C3 boarding pass. So wait, I paid extra for Business Select, I have A-List Preferred status, and you hand me C3?? "We dont have any more business select on this flight"... WTF? The numbers are completely f*cking arbitrary. Just let me board with the A1-15 people, and it's no issue. But nope. So I walk away with my sh*t boarding pass. Then I notice that the flight is delayed 2 hours, and is now only 20 minutes before my original flight. So I go back and tell them I want back on my original flight. She gives me a lot of sh*t about it, and eventually I get handed an A7 boarding pass. I really don't mind flying, until they f*ck things up like this.

    I'd guess it has something to do with the current generation of young hockey players who do nothing during practice but practice "the crosby trick" and say things like "duster", "dirty hang" and "celly".

    I wear long socks. They end just below the knee. On a positive note, I didn't notice at all how rough the lining of the Nexus 1000s was once I was all suited up and playing in a game. Just me being over-critical upon initial inspection, I guess.

    Yea, I wanted to pick up a Gionta when I first saw it. Figured it'd be a waste of money and put it back on the rack.

    I'm not good enough at this sport to know the ins and outs of this stuff, but for me the toe curve just seems horribly impractical.
  6. IPv6Freely
    Iginla, yea? Fairly close. I ended up moving to RBK's Datsyuk since I could never find a Heatley and wanted to try something other than Easton.

    Sorry, I missed the "shaft" part.
  8. IPv6Freely
    They definitely offered the original Mako in a 75 flex grip shaft. I know, because I had one (that I had to warranty, which easton sent me a non-grip back... GRR) Not sure about the Mako2 (I haven't looked at the catalogue yet).
  9. IPv6Freely
    That's not surprising. It was at one point my fave pattern, but the RS and Mako were the only sticks you could get the Heatley curve in w/ a 75 flex. Wasn't available in the lower models. I really want to try the Mako skates, though!

    In the same game?

    The lighting in my home office sucks, but I've been eyeing the new Bauer Elite bag ever since it was released (also a HUGE fan of the Bauer Elite base layer stuff, mentioned above).
  12. IPv6Freely
    Yea, drove up to HockeyMonkey yesterday :)
  13. IPv6Freely
    I'm currently in the new bauer base layer stuff. The "Elite" model, specifically. EASILY the best jockshort ive ever worn. No straps around the buttcheeks but it doesnt need them because it shapes perfectly. Cup pocket on the inside, too. Maybe I'll try the long legged version (since i normally wear socks almost to my knees anyway). Also been considering the long sleeve shirt. Seems counter-intuitive, but if its moisture wicking, i almost think the long sleeve would actually be cooler.

    Drove up to HockeyMonkey today. As if I wasn't already sold on these, I realize after I put them on that they have adjustable straps. You can move them to where you want them: My only complaint - the material used on the inside is REALLY rough on the skin. Feels like a damn plastic brillo pad. I'm sure it'll soften over time, though. Oh, and also grabbed a stick bag for Winterfest.

    They don't have them in stock, apparently. Their shipping is free overnight anyway, so if they had them they would have just done that. I haven't been up to HM or HG in a while, maybe I'll just drive up tomorrow. It's only about an hour away. Since I can't guarantee how long they will take to send me my shin pads. Sometimes HM is very fast, sometimes its a week. HG is brutally slow ever since they stopped shipping out of socal. Not to mention it wont be free shipping anymore. I've been working from home for a while, and really miss driving my car. :)

    IceWarehouse screwed up. So now I have to order from HockeyMonkey and just hope my new pads get here before the weekend. I also now have to pay shipping since HM isn't free shipping. *grumble*

    Those are amazing. I wish I liked that style glove so I could get a custom set. Oh well :)
  18. IPv6Freely
    those are hilarious.

    How are they different? Different grits like sandpaper? Complete noob here, obviously.
  20. IPv6Freely
    Looking at the X-01. Can the machine stay in the carrying case while in use, or is the case only for storage/transport? Also, what is the difference between the various colored wheels (orange, ruby, pink)?
  21. IPv6Freely
    Interesting. I actually have to push the re-akt cage on the sides to get them into the J-clips. Though I'm also using a re-akt helmet too, so maybe that's why.
  22. IPv6Freely
    All the stitching is a lot less noticeable in person. I just like that its plain and simple with a nice raised logo on the front. It's fitted, but with a little bit of stretch and extremely comfortable. Fairly low crown, too. Its a Zephyr.
  23. IPv6Freely
    What, you wouldnt wear this?
