I wanted the #DEMODAY one :P I hate most of what's on that channel with the exception of Fixer Upper and Flip or Flop (which is not being made anymore due to their divorce)

Get Chip and Joanna to help you out! ;)

Finally game footage! Now when I show up to the rink I take a look at who the refs will be and determine whether it's even worth taking the camera out. What's funny is that the head guy for our area is the one who chats with me about it! Anyway, here's the game. We won 6-2, and now the first place team with all the ringers on it is 9-1. We had 7 skaters, and our one D played the entire game despite being sick. In fact most of our team bailed on us because they were all sick.

Weird, I received mine that day too and it was for everyone.

You just had to reply to their email about it. They sent it to all customers January 16th. Nope, all customers.

It's also worth mentioning (it was briefly alluded to earlier but I don't think anyone elaborated on it) that Sparx went above and beyond with regards to customer service a couple months ago for all its customers. One dumbass apparently didn't bother changing his filter when the "change air filter" light came on, and ended up actually causing some smoke/burning as a result. In response, Sparx sent out a free air filter to all of its customers. Definitely was not something they had to do, but it was still very much appreciated.

The top team in our league full of ringers is now 9-1 :)

Never a bad thing.

Comparable no. It's not FBV. It's the same as BFD which is the same concept but arguably not as good. What kind of mixed reviews? I've heard nothing but good things, except from people who thought it was FBV.

Holy crap dude. That's brutal. I think I'd have a hard time sleeping for quite a while if it was one of my teammates. Very sorry to hear. Posts like this make most everything else in this thread sound so unimportant!

I agree, though usually the non-domestic dealers are a bit better. BMW, Porsche and Volvo have treated us extremely well. In fact Porsche scratched my car the last time I was there and they repaired it, no questions asked. Showed them a photo and it was "bring it in and we'll take care of it". You can actually tell what the service will be like when you buy the car initially, in my opinion. In the case of BMW and Porsche they don't even try to sell you anything. Just a different mindset altogether. I expected a lot more out of Mercedes Benz. It's just been fight after fight with incompetent service people. In this case, we had a flat tire. They didn't have a matching tire in stock so they told us all four needed replacing anyway so they could put a different brand on there. Then we saw the paperwork when we went to pick it up... the other three tires were still 7/32 on the non-flat front tire and 6/32 on both rears. Suddenly the "why are you putting a different brand on?" question we asked a couple days earlier all made sense. Then they tried to convince us that what the tech told them and what the tech wrote down were different. Not. My. Problem. Ended up settling with the manager on us keeping the new set of tires at a 50% discount. I'm sure some of you are thinking "first world problems", but when a dealer tries to scam you out of $1200 it makes you angry regardless of what manufacturer it is.

Car dealers trying to rip us off. And this isn't the first time they've tried to pull BS on us.

Just like anything else in life: issues aren't what matters to me, it's if/how those issues are handled. I have full confidence in Sparx support, especially based on some of the PMs and emails I've exchanged with them.

F Cancer.

I loved playing on a team wearing Maine colors. Looks so sharp. I would have killed for these gloves at the time!

I'd imagine that will be too big. I went down half a size from reebok to mako

Forced password changes. No more secure (in fact, they're often less secure), but annoying as hell.

Well that was a not-so-fun experiment. Playing goal while very sick. Most of my team bailed tonight, too. But I can't because I'm the only one with pads ;) Or else I definitely would have! Anyway, luckily I didn't puke, or start coughing. However I did get very warm. But the worst part was my complete inability to track the puck. Up close I was fine and made more than a few good saves. But first goal of the game was a shot from the blue line, going wide, and I tried to just poke it into the corner so it wouldn't go behind the net. Hit the heel of my stick and went in. Every single distance shot they took I would lose immediately even with no traffic. Like I'd see it leave the stick and then it was GONE. Like I was half a second behind everything the whole game. It was ugly. Ended up losing 8-5 with two empty net goals. We did well offensively, but the goaltending and D was atrocious. Considering three of us were playing sick I guess the result wasn't surprising. Just frustrating and embarrassing when the other team keeps taking slap shots from centre because they think you suck at them. Especially when they're right... Im skipping pickup this Tuesday. I need a couple nights of good sleep.

I was confused when you said smoking... thinking "WTF it's 2017..." but then you mentioned the "getting high" part. Is that what kids are by default referring to as "smoking" these days? I'm clearly getting old. Get off my lawn.

There are no "kinks" as far as I've seen, at least in this thread. If you want one, go ahead and get one.

I imagine much better compared to thin jenpro

Love it.

Yup. On our trip to Canada we were excited to do some shopping because of the exchange rate. Until we saw how jacked up the prices were in comparison, to the point where it would have actually been cheaper to just buy it in the US. Okay then, never mind...
