Those are...interesting.

I could only imagine. I feel like I'm losing it and I'm 5 years removed from playing ACHA club hockey and immediately transitioned into adult hockey haha.

Factory of Sadness.

Hmm. Good point. Didn't think of that.

Totally agree. Playing with Crosby will make you a more effective player. That is what he does better than anyone else in the league.

That's a nice guitar my friend. I'm rooting for you. I'm praying that this summer I can get a full-size Martin. Would like to keep it under $1,000 and with so many options, I'll take the time to hear them all. Big fan of the GPCPA5. Intrigued by the DRSGT and DRS1/2. Yea, that is a trip that is long overdue for me. Only an hour or so drive from where I'm located.

Adding to the collection: Martin LXME. I'm a Martin fanboy haha.

For that long of a hiatus, you didn't look out of place.

Miss playing competitive hockey. ACHA gave me a chance to play it for 4 more years. Hope you son has as much fun as I did: it goes by pretty fast!

That's a good point. He should be able to thrive with PIT as they push towards clinching a playoff spot. I have to imagine that Mac Attack reached out to multiple teams and PIT jumped on the opportunity.

I would imagine DP would play with Sid. We all know he is missing Duper and his offensive ability. DP should be able to bring that to Sid's line.

From one generation to another: nice.

I like the uniform: simple and clean.

Hmmm. Yea, that sounds Match-worthy but I don't know if they wanted to deal with the paperwork haha.

Good ol' men's league rules haha. I do wonder what the person must have done for you to think it was match penalty-worthy ha.

Be ready to now sympathize with officials who work your men's league games now that you will be able to relate haha.

Being able to go to NHL.com and watching highlights from the previous night. It's an annual occurrence, but it never gets old. I'll be doing the same within the next couple of months. Between officiating and school, it's practically a 'must' for me to given in ha.

Hang in there. Just had my seminar this past Saturday. Still have to do the open book test and those elective thingermajigs. And now that I'm back in school, I'll SO much time on my hands haha. I guess the bonus is that, after my closed book test, I was outta there by 1 p.m. If the electives continue to shorten the brick 'n mortar seminars, I'm all for that.

What elective online classes?

I would have to have been there to see what really happened. I can't imagine that they didn't let you team get away with obvious penalties based on what you are saying. Do refs make mistakes? Absolutely. Do they sometimes let stuff go that should be called? You betcha. Is at as bad as the team(s) that got 'hosed' say it was? Eh.

That is a step in the right direction. I agree with you. That falls on the assignor(s) though. But as you know, politics always bares its ugly head in these situations. All I know is that people who aren't educated just blame the officials. How about teaching the players/coaches what they did wrong? Crazy ain't it? It's rare to see coaches and/or players focus on that. It ruins the learning experience that the youth level SHOULD have.

As of right now: Bass: Peavy Foundation 5-string (it was a 'hand-me-down' so not certain on all the specs)...Dean EAB (cheap price = cheap quality) Guitar: Breedlove Studio 12-string A/E I also play the piano also and hope to upgrade/add on/take on more instruments in the near future.

Everyone blames the officials for everything. Doesn't matter the area code. Problem with that is that the people who assessing that blame probably haven't worn the stripes before. When you finally do, you understand why officials always 'suck.'

I wish I could say the same haha.

That's pretty cool. I just happened to hear about it a couple of mins ago. Those guys are good at what they do.
