  1. I will never take my cage off for this exact reason. I can't count how many times I've taken an elbow or a butt end of a stick off my cage. Seems like there is less recoil to the neck when there are metal bars in front of my face.

    Maybe it is just shit luck...or I (and everyone else) get more careless wearing a cage. I have never been hit in the face with a puck, elbow, stick or anything in almost 15 years wearing a visor. In the league where I have to wear a cage, probably a couple times a year I take something square in the jaw/mouth area.


  2. Just saw The Tea Party live, again. Flew all the way from San Diego to Barrie, ON just for that. Well worth it! Amazing show! VIP laminates help ;)

    Saw them YEARS ago at Lulu's in Kitchener. And...a couple years back at an outdoor festival in Ancaster. They really hadn't missed a beat. Although, I do prefer the early stuff (Spender Solis/Edges of Twilight) before they go quite so electronic on Transmission/Triptych etc...


  3. Do you have a counsellor or chaplain in your fire house? Not sure if that is common practice or not, but (having never been involved in such a situation) I'd assume talking through your experiences, especially early in your career is a good idea. PTSD is not uncommon in any line of work that deals with and faces life and death situations.


  4. Yes, those are wheel covers. It's actually the picture from the ad. Had a much better shine to it when I picked it up.

    I've been, historically, pretty easy on vehicles. Bought a '98 Neon in '99, drove that to 192,000km when I bought my truck in '06 with 102k on it...traded that for this. Truck had 234k and was starting to rust a bit. This had 251km when I drove it off the lots...so if I get it to 200,000+km It won't owe me much by then.

  5. 12+ inches....3-4 foot drifts....yay

    My truck is snowed in on the street at my GFs house. Watched the SB there last night, and ended up staying because the weather was shitty, and I had a few drinks...my own damn fault for not planning better. Now, I am likely going to have to take a cab to work in Oakville this afternoon (35km...probably $60-70) because work never closes.


  6. Groin injuries. Felt a little tweak 2 weeks ago during my Saturday game. Played Sunday anyway, didn't feel too bad, actually better than I thought I would. After a week with only 1 game, it was feeling pretty good. Must've pushed a little harder last night. Hurts again. I have a feeling this will be the cycle until hockey ends and I have a solid month before baseball starts.

    Of course, not playing at all is an option...meh, no it's not!

  7. I hate "waffle board" live, or in the game...and that stupid "Catawampus". The first time he said "Catawampus to the corner..." I thought that was a players name...haha! Never heard that word in any other context anywhere....and never heard him use it in a TV Broadcast (mind you, I don't hear him all that often). What an odd word to include in the game audio.


  8. Timing, not just in the play on the ice...but the HNIC broadcast was just talking about how Crosby/Perron didn't even meet until 2 hours before the game. As they finished their story..he scored.

    Can't find the link to the CBC call...but here is the goal;


  9. Super-stoked for the trade! Pens finally get the top-six winger they've been seeking, DP get's out of the black hole that is Edmonton. Some additional details - Pens included F Rob Klinkhammer in addition to 1st round pick. Perron will wear #39 - the number he wore in Lewiston. Arrives in the 'burgh late tonight, should play against the Habs tomorrow.

    Couldn't delay that arrival by 1 day, eh??? Damnit
