Maybe try 90/75 or 90/50? Less bite might help your stopping a bit.

And no one can see what's wrong with the school system?

Good luck with that. I remember reading Oedipus and Merchant of Venice but I'm pretty sure they were in different grades.

Not to mention he's a bit of a go to guy for shootouts.

Truer words are hard to come by. AP English 12 was the last English class I took because of a teacher with a chip on her shoulder. Real shame.

After feeling the totalone's this past weekend I can say they are definitely stiffer than the X:60's. The one80 replaces the one75, the one60 replaces the one55, and the one70 is a new addition (someone please correct me if that's wrong).

Yup. I guess with Combat offering a more customized approach to selling their sticks they just wanted to offer as much as they could.

Nice build overall. A little more space would be nice but that's a great idea to get a tow strap and wrap it all the way around. Is there much tension in the cord? I mean, will the puck come back every time or do you need to pass it pretty firmly?

That's a great point considering my only memory of Lemieux is at the 02 olympics and of Gretzky it was listening to his last game on the radio.

[/sarcasm] lol. Having the game be all about those two actually makes the game a little less enjoyable for me because I find myself only wanting to watch when one of them are on the ice. And considering Ovechkin doesn't come back behind his blue line I didn't see much of him in the first and with Crosby being watched closely he didn't really get a chance to do much. They are great teams and (i didn't watch the whole game) while it was probably a great game, it's a shame to go into it with only those two players in mind.

Ahh good call. Forgot that their codes are a little different; the G3 was what really should have given it away. The 102 just threw me, figured he would have been a 70-80 flex.

Is that kane a prostock or the smu's?

Looks photoshopped in. If not, why is it there?

I only saw the highlights but the goal definitely looked in to me, although I could see how it could be considered inconclusive. As for Gagne, to say he knew volchenkov was coming is a bit of a stretch. He may have had an idea but at no point would it have been a shoulder to shoulder hit unless he turned all the way around the other way. Seeing him jump him after the goal though was pretty reminiscent of stuff I've seen in Juvenile games.

Holy. Is that from hail or from the wind kicking up debris?

Brooks Laich was flexing those 110 flex sticks pretty easily...

Those Staal XXXX's are sweet

Rask is good in the sense that he is so utterly determined, but I would say his biggest fault is his inability to keep his cool. His reaction was priceless but he put the entire blame on Lucic when that was nothing more then a lucky deflection for the rangers. I understand the puck went in off Lucic, but mentally that can take a guy off his game enough, you don't need the goalie looking at you like that.

Wow, when it rains it pours. With the Flyers in 6th, it's starting to look like they'll be clinging to that 8th position unless they can start holding their ground.

Yup. Sorry that's what I was trying to say.

It is, but for something like having a photo with no background if you save the eps in photoshop it adds a background. So any image is plastered on a white square. Save the image in AI and it removes that background.

I figured it out, but I used AI and Photoshop every day. Question though, if it's saved as a tiff or eps in photoshop and then opened and resaved in AI as one of those files is it fine then?

Well, like you said in the Boston thread: when the entire NHL is breathing down your neck as you play you're going to be very careful about over stepping any boundaries. Not to mention who was officiating the game.

Fair enough, as the captain last night definitely should not have been his first. I think that when you see it and look at how it led to a penalty kill without him on the ice you wonder how much effect it had on a team compared to if he had been on the ice to fight off the kill. Either way the game is done with, and while I agree it is the captains job to drop the mitts ever now and then, I don't think it benefited the team at all last night.

I guess when you're that size it makes it tough to find combatants. And if that's the price of leadership, how much is it really helping the team? I just think in their current situation I'm not sure if that is the best way to get his team fired up. Maybe if they had a much more solid defensive core, they yes, lead with that emotion. But when your team needs you on the ice, find a different way to fire your team up. You may only be able to fight the big guys, but you can hit anyone.
