They check helmet stickers in adult leagues?

It’s fine as long as a) it’s equally loose for both teams and b) nobody bitches when they neglect to call something.

Just please don't end on a goalie interference call...

I agree. The Blues looked at least equal or better until the 3-0 goal. The 1-0 was "whatever. keep doing what we're doing" going into intermission, the 2-0 was deflating just because it was a fluke bounce but they were still playing well. The 3-0 ended the game though. They were completely done at that point, and it showed. Even when the Blues kept the puck in the Boston end for extended periods of time, they never really had anything. The Bruins wingers were all over the defencemen. I actually recall mentioning to my wife about the massive difference in defensive zone play by both teams. When Boston was in the Blues end they had all kinds of time and space, but when the Blues were in the Bruins end they had none. So at that point how long the Blues spent in the offensive zone was kind of irrelevant if they didn't get anything quality out of it. And you know that's how it ALWAYS goes. A team presses, and presses, and PRESSES, and boom... they get scored on. Like clockwork. I don't think the Blues have it in them to win game 7. This was a wasted opportunity and I think they're deflated. I think any time you lose a potential series-clinching game in game 6, the chances of you winning a game 7 seem slim. I'd love to see the numbers on that, actually. Though, analysts have been pretty adamant this year in particular that momentum game to game seems to not exist. So who knows. I hope they can do it, but I'm not expecting it to happen.

This is the first time I've seen what all the wacky names are actually referring to. I almost feel like it would be easier to say "DOUBLE-10-20" instead of "DETROIT I" but I guess Prosharp marketing disagrees 🤪 Thank you for posting!

Horrible game. Hopefully they can bounce back but this has got to just be so deflating.

There's no question it was a bit of a flop, but there's also no question that there was absolutely a trip. Whether the officials either a) missed it b) chose to not call it is anybody's guess. In all reality, it really doesn't matter. It's pretty low down the list of missed or blown calls in this years playoffs.

It's pretty amazing (and not in a good way) what that kind of recovery and the drugs that come with it can do to your head.

Calm down folks.

Use Etsy.

Great game. Hopefully they can wrap it up at home!

FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- WTF? Who even does that? I mean I get if you're in there with somebody who is struggling with nausea and/or keeping food down and will take any chance they can get to get something in them... but I doubt somebody eating cereal is doing it for that reason. I'm sorry you're stuck with a roommate 😞 I was very lucky to have had my own room for the week (I honestly have no idea how all that works - they just put me in one) but it ended up being a very good thing after the panic attacks. Morphine + nurses hurting you every time they see you = absolute panic the moment they'd knock on the door. They started mixing valium into the cocktail and things settled down... a little bit, at least. I imagine that would have sucked for a roommate to have to put up with...

I liked most things about the HP45, except that I had issues with them slipping down even with suspenders and the belly pad kept flopping out. I tried having the belt and laces tight, both loose, and no matter what I did I still had a problem. Note of course I have a belly so that pushes things down. I'm going to hang onto these as I lose weight but I'll probably keep using my old pants for now.

Probably.

Reebok had it. Now CCM. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jofa

I think it's about time to close this one up. There's no need to promote this kind of junk here.

Many goalies have practice gloves that have a lot of extra padding in them that would make them difficult to use in a game. Just think about how many pucks a goalie would see in a practice compared to a game. With that in mind, goalies usually have two game gloves that they either swap out every game, every period, or whenever they feel like (just using the second glove as a backup). It's possible Halak uses one every period, or one of them is his practice glove. All different scenarios why a goalie would have two (or three) gloves and it just depends on the goalie.

FFS another thread about Chinese junk sticks?

Just the ones who have been eliminated from the playoffs.

We're single elimination. There was no accident in scheduling. It's just an exhibition game. So we get 19 games (16+playoffs) regardless of whether we're eliminated in the first playoff game, or win the championship. Our league has a schedule too.

Hahaha well sorta. Definitely something I'm not surprised is painful after not doing it for so long! 8.5D My shoe size went from an 11 in sneakers and 10.5 in dress shoes and hiking boots, down to a 10.5 for sneakers and 10 in dress shoes/boots. Though to be fair I think the 11 was always on the bigger side, I just found them more comfortable.

Yeah, can’t hurt. Maybe they just need a minor adjustment.

I'm flying from San Diego 🙂

You definitely described it better than I did 🙂

Man, I don't know if its being spoiled by my VH, my foot size shrinking after my weight loss (I'm routinely wearing shoes half a size smaller now), or just that the padding has broken down - but I skated on player skates for the first time in 6+ months on Tuesday night and my feet were killing me for the first half. Maybe that's more me than the skates (because of how long it had been since I used those muscles) but I have to decide if I'm going to start skating out (in pickups) routinely. If so, it may be time to get some new wheels. I wonder if I'd fit in size 8 Makos (assuming I could find some).
