FTFY :)

I've seen cars with lights on, or doors left slightly ajar. I'm always afraid that if I touch it, I'm going to set off an alarm, or be seen opening/closingthe door and get accused of something...so i just leave it, and hope (for their sake) everyone else does the same.

Impulse gear shopping. A true sign of gear whoring at it's best!

I was going to vent that we lost in my first ever League hockey game last night. 6-0. Our average age is probably 42...the other team...more like 24...and probably playing 2 levels under their ability. Then...I see something like that, and realize how trivial the stuff that bugs me can be.

I sprained my knee 2 years ago playing ball. I had some accupuncture/massage therapy on it...it kept me off the ice for a couple weeks. Hasn't bugged me since. Until tonight. Felt it tweak. My ball season and hockey season start on Tuesday. Ball practice at 6:00...hockey at 11:00 Boo-urns!

I've been playing pickup with a visor for almost 10 years. Playing in a league for the first time this summer. I'll be wearing a cage, cause I hear the leagues around here can get a little chippy. I've been wearing the cage the last few weeks to get used to it. TWO pucks in the face tonight....a visor would not have offered any protection where these pucks made contact.

Best player I ever saw with bad "flow" *L* was a guy I played with in a Wednesday after group. Grant Sanders. He had played some pro in Europe in the late 80's early-mid 90's. Was actually a teammate of Kirk Muller's in Jr. Pants and skates older than dirt...but he wore the team socks from his Euro team. Bright orange with logos all over them Jofa bucket Can't recall the gloves...but they were pretty beat up No shoulders...in fact one week, he wore like a coaches warm up jacket, with shitty elbow pads over the jacket. Kinda taped on. Stick? I dunno...some non desript mid level ops. And, he is probably 20-30 over weight. But, holy hell....skate like the wind....stick handle in a phone booth. Pass hard, and accurate and had an elusive shot you didn't see coming. Ripping wristers top corner from the blue line. Goalies never moved.

My GF and her sister went to Panama for a week...and I was supposed to go get them at the airport...but their flight in is Monday night...the same night as registration and the first game of the new league I am playing in for the first time... I told her I really couldn't miss it...and she understood...so they made arranged to have a friend pick them up. I got an e-mail from the guy who runs the team on Thursday...for some unknown reason...it looks like our first game has been moved to Tuesday night. He's confirming if it is an error...or indeed on Tuesday...in which case, they step off a plane and guess who is there to greet them. :) Sweet!

Differing reports...I saw one that said he's resting comfortably, alert and in stable conditon....another said still critical.

Remember when Toronto HAD the hot Finnish Goaltending Prospect....Tuuka Rask? Maybe trying to relive the past and get it right this time: http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=318903

So are most of the people in this thread.

Anniversary of Waco was yesterday as well.

I guess that includes me for not saying something.

Driving home from work just now...3 kids (12-14 maybe?) standing on the corner...as I roll through one of the little bastards throws something at my truck. There was traffic behind me so I couldn't stop dead and get out...but I continue the half block to my house. Get out, inspect the side...no real damage...It was plastic, I guess...but I can tell something hit it...(by the smudges in the dirt). I look back around the corner...the kids are still standing there. I think about yelling "Hey, which one of you little f**kers threw something at me...?" But, I had visions of some father thinking his little snowflake can do no wrong trying to pick a fight, or me being dragged away by the Cops for assault...so I just walked back. Where do punks get off with having no respect for anyone/anything around them.

I thought we did pretty good the year they gave us $50 gift certificates to a butcher to go pick up steaks...but given the Retail on those bikes...your bonus was substanitally better than that. Good job!

Boo-urns!

The only scenario left where Montreal loses the playoff spot is if the Rangers games goes into overtime (regardless of outcome)...and the Leafs win in regulation. Beating the Leafs is still the best way to go, IMO

I just hope the Phlyers beat the Rags tonight to get thsi playoff spot over with. The thought of Leafs/Habs in a potential 'must win' scares me. Toronto gets up for Montreal like no other team I've EVER seen in any sport :(

I thought you were a Farrell guy. Nice to get answers from the source rather than pure speculation. Congrats on your season. Things appear to be headed in the right direction in STL, with the young guns leading the way.

Totally unrelated...but who is that quote in yoru sig attributed to? That's pretty funny.

...what he said!

I think he meant a record for number of quoted photos in 1 post.

As a guy who has always liked Price and thinks he has been blamed for way too much and can't catch a break at all...even I've gotta say, these last 2 games have to cement Halak as the #1. Barring injury or blowout, Carey is a spectator for the rest of the year.

Kaberle has had enough...or has he? http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=316308

The City of Hamilton and the Dogs just extended the lease for 3 more years a Copps. So, it's at least that long before they move. But yeah...that would suck. [EDIT]: Apparently, but unconfirmed, there is an out in the contract that allows for the Dogs to move or for the City to bring an NHL team in. We've all seen that the NHL team is unlikely...but moving seems more and more likely. The City only has themselves to blame if that arena sits empty for 40+ additional nights a year.
