dear blackstone, i want a commission <3 puck_it

any where if you buy a portable :-p

i had a guy come in looking for a protective piece of equipment, particularly for the chest area. his son plays goalie in lacrosse and their goal pads dont cut it for him. so i was running through some options of stuff i'd try if i were him, and started to suggest some of the old missions with the hard plate over the chest area, and he starts to cut me off and lecture me about how thats bad, and you want soft to slow it down better blah blah... he was correct, dont get me wrong, but i was going to couple it with a padded shirt or farrell pads to absorb the spread impact form the hard plate. I still got a physics lecture, though. I'm an out of work physicist. doh.

drool. want.

i had some donkey come get some one75s baked. and he's all bragging about his skates and crap, how they're so awesome, and how he's doing learn to play and all this shit. I'm like, good for him that hes getting into hockey. Been there. But i dont give a shit about your skates you bought somewhere else and how good of a skate it is. moron.

yeah, just mention that the trainer said there was a team discount... asking for a discount you should get is different from asking for a discount because you want one.

then thanks for being my tax attorney. anything else you do consulting for? I hope you're licensed.

because the rink is literally a mile away. we have it worked out. i need a free hand to carry beer. and thanks for being my accountant, jimmy. i need tax advice from modsquad like i need a hole in my head.

ok. a guy on my team was considering getting one for the team to throw 5 bucks in, per sharpening and after the thing is paid off, it becomes the beer money jar, lol. So i figure maybe 15 every other week, if that... but i guess it's going to become a question of will we have 5 guys run by the house to get sharpened on the way to the rink... and at the same time might as well let whomever is sharpening charge other people they know, too.

whats the advisable threshold to make the leap, on a basis of number of skates? like 10/wk?

i'd have laughed my ass off if he came back with a team usa/canada/whatever in 110

on the converse... Me: Are you guys running regular hours today? (sunday dec 27) employee: No .... me: well, what are your hours, then?

lol at the discount seekers. if there's random stuff thats neglected and like the three model years old that nobody loves, and hasnt ever moved... I'll ask what the price is. if it's full, fine, if we can meet some pareto optimal price, sign me up... but it's stupid to expect a discount on normal stuff. I do try go out of my way to wait for items that i have them order, so they dont have to deal with stupid shipping costs, especially if im looking for like, one blade.

24 doesnt prompt you to do things, though.

i could have told you that

i heard about it in the news...but until i played that level... i had no idea... it was a bit disturbing, honestly, and i've got a strong stomach for disturbing things

well, just finished single player. lol. started at 6ish. it's now 1:15ish. whoops great fucking game and story line.

picked the shit up on ps3. holyyyyyy shiiiiit. love all the attention to details. smoke form the guns, random chaos... pretty slick game

atta boy

im taking credit for his performance tonight. i wore my msh IV jersey down on the glass during warmups.

you have no idea how composites are constructed, do you? to maximize efficiency with respect to weight, cost, and strength the material is fine tuned to function under specific stress conditions. if you use it outside of those, it will break. I can snap a composite bow to prove a point.

not only that but a 250k minimum annual expense on that card

everyone heals differently. it wont ever be the same, thats just a product of having a surgery like that. I didnt intend to be discouraging, but i thought it would be most beneficial to point out everything i could. Just do EVERYTHING that your doctors and physical therapists say to get back into it. Where are you located? before you get to the point where you're going to do physical therapy, call around to see if you can find someone who specializes in PT for sports injuries. They tend to be a bit more agressive, and can get a better feel for where you were and need to get back to. Otherwise, people who deal with grandmas instead of athletes might only bring you to a point where you function, not perform. give us updates, or ask questions, if you want. we've got a pretty good sample of people with bad breaks ;)

I'm one month shy of the 2 year mark. I fractured both maleoli, requiring screws through the tibia and a plate along my fibula. there was no soft tissue damage, but the tibia fracture went through to the joint. That said, both my physical therapist and my surgeon said that i have had the best recovery for that type of fracture they'd ever seen (oddly enough, i was my surgeons first hockey player, and now he's a surgeon for the Hurricanes). I had nearly 100% recovery on the ROM with plantar flexion (pointing toes) and a slightly tougher time (75-90%) ROM on dorsal flexion (like in a deep knee bend). The bad: may ankle is permanantly larger, and the screws on the inside ankle hurt when pressure is put on them. I had to punch my vectors to fit comfortably, but the One95's fit beautifully after baking. Additionally, there's still bad days, as well as good days. Sometimes the fucker just has a constant dull pain. It's annoying at times. It makes creaking noises.. it feels like i want to pop the joint, like cracking my knuckles, but i just cant do it, so that frustrates me. when i do pull it off on the rare occasion, holy hell does it feel good. What's this mean for hockey? Not a whole lot. There are some days when i tie my skate and am wincing from pain, but once i get moving it dulls away. There's days when i forget i broke it. Then there's days when i get off the ice feeling like garbage. It took me a good 6 months playing twice a week to get the right endurance levels back where my ankle didnt want to just quit. All in all, it might still improve from being abused (not as sensitive to big time loading as it has been in the past), but i'm at about where i'm going to get. I'm not really limited by anything, as long as I can deal with minor pain, and minor arthritis. It's a tough recovery when you fracture a joint, especially such an important one. Do everything the physical therapist says. I pushed myself quite a bit, never complained. My therapist said she had a tough time gauging how far she could push me, since i never showed any sort of pain. the biggest piece of advice is: dont be discouraged when you go in, things take time. Be realistic, and know when too much is too much. When you're back in skates, it feels toatlly foreign, but after the second skate or so, it all comes back. it's just conditioning from there.

more like everyone else should realize they shouldnt put creedence into what he says.
