Very cool story, love the pic with the "FOSHO" car.

2g and counting!

Picked up a pair of Vapor Apollo gloves at HG for $40 to use while sending my Vector Pro's out for a repalm. Surprisingly nice quality, feels more broken in than the rest of the Vapor series, light weight, a decent amount of protection, although it's not going to be confused for a top end glove. First impression is this is a great glove for the money.

Saw it too, was pretty sweet! 2nd goal and he's already being shown on a highlight reel with Kovalev.

Perron is out there wreaking havoc for my team...wish the Wild would have picked him instead of Colton Gillies.

Well after going through a half dozen shaft/blade/stick combos in the last month, I picked up a Mission L-2 75 flex Hull over at Hockey Giant for $60...last non-junior in any hand/pattern too as luck would have it. Good and whippy, decent balance, perfect height, in a pattern I like. Hopefully I'll be happy with something for once!

And secondly, you have to remember that the Bible was interperted, same with the Torah and the Quar'an. Don't sound so self rightous with stating "your God doesn't want you to get tattooed". Yeah but really Ti, how can you argue with a Rhodes Scholar candidate who has such stinging, poignant insight such as "the front part [of the Bible] has all that crazy rambling crap about not wearing cloths of differing fibers?" Really, striking logic. If only we could spread the word. Oh, and my favorite are the people that get a dozen different random styles of tattoos all over their body, then they try and get a sleeve to "tie them together", and they just look like a mess. Good luck with that crap in 10 years!

Yeah that Mazdaspeed6 looks sweet...I have to swing down and see what the ACTUAL retail is. And my boss' husband is a Mazda salesman so I might be able to swing a deal. BUT, I need to pay off the loan for another year first.

330xi which rocks in the snow and rain with regular all-season tires. Except I'm getting killed on repair costs, so I'm hopefully getting something else next spring/summer. Looking at the new 128i, maybe a used G35 or Mazda6. Something with low/no miles, fast, and small(er).

On the plus side, picked up a Christian composite blade for $20 new. On the down side, my TPS shaft snapped a week after I bought it and I can't find the receipt :( And a $200 medical bill and I won't be getting a new stick for a couple months.

I found it at a LHS clearance. Hockey Giant had them for $40 a couple days ago. I pick up most of my sticks/blades/shafts from the bargain bin.

How do you like those shafts? I have the TPS Rubber shafts and need an upgrade badly. The R2 is great, best shaft I've used yet. Quite a bit of pop for a whip flex. It's a bit heavier than the ultra high end shafts but balances well with a wood blade. Good deal for $40. The Bauer I cut from a OPS. Really durable, great for slappers, not bad for wristers. Also a good deal as I paid $60 for the stick and used it probably 20-30 times before cutting the blade off (which was still in great shape, just got bored with the pattern).

And an update: Helmet: Mission Intake Cage: Bauer 8500 Shoulders: Sherwood 5030 Elbows: Easton Stealth S9 Gloves: CCM Vector Pro Pants: Easton Stealth S5 Shins: Bauer One90 Skates: Bauer Vapor XIX Sticks: TPS R2 Control Armor whip flex shaft / Easton Synergy Forsberg wood blade Bauer Endure 77 flex tapered shaft / Easton Synergy Forsberg wood blade Bauer Endure 77 flex P88 OPS LOVE the One90 shins. Love em. Much tighter fitting than my old Bauer 4000's and the calf protection is ridiculous. Feels like you can take a two-hander to the calf and come out clean.

I couldn't stop yawning watching Dragonforce. Great, the asian dude rips it up on guitar and your singer has a huge fan blowing his hair back.

57's a pretty good number, very unique. Except for the ketchup thing. I wore 9 for a while, then switched to 67 because you don't ever see it. Congrats (again!) and good luck (again!) David, I'll be watching on Center Ice this year.

Yep...watching my Minnesota Wild and wishing David luck, though not enough luck to beat the Wild :D

And all the HF boards guys were ripping on him because he'd never be able to do anything against NHL'ers... Give 'em hell David!

Good Lord, that's amazing. A little over a year ago, he's a late round pickup in the juniors his first NHL draft eligible year, and now he's impressing the Blues so much that he could get a crack in the show at 19. That's got to be a lot of hard work on his part.

Are the XII and XVI the same as V and VIII with new paint jobs? I saw these at a LHS last weekend and while the XII was way too heavy and clunky, the XVI didn't feel that bad.

Maylene is awesome...I picked up both of their discs a couple months ago and couldn't get them out of my car. Great for driving to the rink. The new one is more a rock album than the first one, almost more AC/DC but with that southern metal flair. Listening to a band called Swift lately, part Killswitch Engage, part 36 Crazyfists, part Chevelle. Kind of gloomy but it's pretty good.

Congratulations and good luck in the NHL!

Here's a comparison between some (somewhat) similar curves: From left to right: Montreal Euro 5 Easton Heatley Bauer P88 CCM Recchi That particular P88 is closer to a 5.25 to 5.5 lie than 6. Heatley is a little more open and less curve. P88 and Recchi are almost the same but the P88 has a round toe and rockered heel with a bit more curve.

As a semi-casual US hockey fan (I'll watch every game of my NHL team and most of the NHL playoffs), I would have had no idea these playoffs were even going on.

Wow, congrats again! Maybe he'll sneak into the top 10 if he keeps this up! Good luck with the Memorial Cup!

Wow, congrats! I'd say the Wild would be in the running but I think we're more in need of defensemen and centers. That's a lot of hard work paying off, jumping up that high in the draft.
