i'll see you one colleague and raise you one boss. a boss who sits on a rush job for two day before eventually handing it off to you and saying "oh! this is a rush, it really needs to go out today" (its 5:00pm)

You may have a problem my man.

not laughing at YOU, just the name,(Donny McDangles) and imagery. mazel tov!

yes, You're doing the right thing. this is a young person with their WHOLE life in front of them. THATS the most important part to me.

Dave Mirra?!?!?! Holy S**t!!!

dave miller, i can read your phone number, not that i'm a creep like that, but protect yo self. and that LI Lighting bag/ logo in pretty hot, the floor mat MAY be going to far :D

you need to get a white shell and you can be a ghost in goal. i couldn't even SEE you in goal at the start.

jimmy Bain. heaven just got a little more bottom end http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/former-rainbowdio-bassist-jimmy-bain-dead-at-68/

i have the talon 60s, and i agree these gloves feel great! but that comes from an ol' schooler who was playing in Kohos from the 80's http://thumbs3.ebaystatic.com/d/l225/m/mLYqPk_hJAfkaevDhc0neLg.jpg

well, now that the stick is upside-down the W logo becomes an M, hence Mission

DAMN!!! that some BS right there!! don't know I would have remained that calm as a teammate or as the strikee. but i guess, if you don't go down you don't get the call... where I'm from, there would have been a parking lot party for that guy after the game

POSH HOTEL?? that place looks like a dump! and ugh! what a slob!!!

winner winner, chicken dinner! but then again, what other number would i have :D and thanks!

snope! http://www.snopes.com/muppet-animal-death-hoax/ whew! that was a close one. i was thinking heres another drummer choked on his own vomit... Well, he choked on "Vomit" we're just not sure it was his OWN ~tap

heres my new open hockey/practice jersey. anyone guess why its numbered 76? now i just need to go down to the Army/Navy shop and pick up some silver and black flag patches

and the babybel too!

This time John Wayne does not walk off into the sunset with Grace Kelly.

BOB MCKENZIE??? you mean this hoser? http://www.thingamababy.com/photos/uncategorized/bobmckenzie.jpg i have not read it, but i may have to pick it up, so i dont become that guy (like my brother is) im sure if you set something up, the MSH group would chip in to get you a new jersey. ;)

to hell with the pain! get out there and skate with your kid! (no really, take some time to get your skate right... but then get out there) im right there with you. but a year down in the notches on the belt. (me 45 my older 8, and younger 5.5) we get out for the learn to skate/play in my friend clinic (my friend was captain in HS) and i go out there with them and work one of the zones with stick handling or passing drills. the thing i LOVE about hockey is, everyone is welcome. but its still a very humbling experience at the same time. like when a 10yo rings the crossbar over your shoulder in warn ups at family hockey. i've dragged my boys out to "family hockey" (see if that available at your local rink) and the first time my boys felt like i threw them under the bus and ambushed them into a game. they've since learned (a little) how to roll with the punches and have had a great time while still sucking at the game. there was a great moment where my 5yo had the puck land on his stick, i encouraged him on to the net, and all the "really good kids" all held back and let the tots do their thing. it turned into a nice assist for him. once you get your skates right, look for some adult open hockey. i'm playing once a week (looking for a second day to play that's not too late) and playing with kids HALF my age. as long as i dont get my stick into their skate (keeping everyone safe) i'll have a few good blocks and a couple good shots off every game. one of the guys i've been seeing at family and open has been doing the full clinic thing and he thinks its really brought his game play up. the next season they do it, i plan to do it as well. even still, having played only 6 time this season, ( and the first in 20 years) my game improves every time i go out. i actually said to a co-worker (who i play with) "is it Monday yet" because that how much i love playing at this age. like you i played pond and into house leagues into HS before a bad tryout for JV and breaking my femurs later that year (blessing in disguised) side note on the open hockey: we had 3 kids show up with Hartford Wolf Pack unis (Rangers farm) they put on a clinic of their own, as humbling as it is, its also very inspiring. if you get one or two good shots or blocks its a good night. get out there, keep it up and before you know it you'll be this guy: http://ftw.usatoday.com/2016/01/video-90-year-old-canadian-is-still-so-good-at-hockey and your kid will be 46 with great memories of himself and his dad out on the ice.

MT, when i saw you were posting HERE in the venting spot, i knew it couldn't be good. Everything i've read from your posts has been super positive. My prayers go out to her, her family, you and her team mates. I hope the road ahead is not as bumpy as it sounds right now. and um, i hope you let her keep the jersey. Fellow hockey players and parents: life is short and hockey is awesome--broken bones heal and we can live without a tooth or two--but please keep your head off the ice and out of the boards. Play hard, and respect your opponents' brains, too. We only get one.

HA! thats great! i just re-watched it in slow-mo. he got a lot more then he bargained for with that dive, head first right into your pads. his chiropractor will not be happy to see him, but damn happy to cash the check.

PFFT! 39 took a dive on that play at 0:29. did he get the call from the ref?

ok, so i'm a few day late on this one, but with work being not that much fun today i thought of something that was to get me through the day. 90 minutes of family hockey on New Years Day with my 8yo in his Toews jersey & 5yo in his Jagr *Rangers* jersey. learning the game and having a ton of fun. they say "what you do on NYD you do all year" i can think of no better way to spend the coming year. and YES, they still suck. but after the game ended and there was 10 mins of free time, i gave my 8yo the choice of getting changed or staying out. he chose staying out.

love the add of the active pickups, don't know i would have ditched the pick guard though. but that's just me, i beat my Kramer like a drum.
