a good ROH will be better than a hack job with FBV, but you shouldn't have a hack sharpening your skates. If there is a warp, the sharpener should be fixing it.

On a lot of teams we've had, that would have been a good turnout. My current team, on the other hand, you can get about 3/4 of the team to show just by telling them there will be booze.

The faster wheel of the full size machine seems to produce a slightly better finished product in the hands of the same person from my experience.

My issues were primarily vision related. If I was looking at something 10 feet to my left and then tried to focus on something in front of me, my eyes would go two feet to the right before coming back to the object in front of me. The bright lights and the multitude of colors on the boxes would make me nauseous within 50 feet. I would get headaches around the house or doing small tasks, but more objects and more color really made the situation worse. The bright lights just made it worse.

Yeah, it probably is related. I couldn't go into a grocery store without getting dizzy for months.

Just check to make sure the edges are level before you adjust and sharpen. If you have a high edge, it will just sharpen with the same high edge if you don't do anything about it.

Congrats man, I'll prep my resume so I can submit it when you become GM.

After working 14 of the last 17 days, it's time for a little relaxation. I've only had five days off since the MSH game in Detroit and most of the days have been of the 12+ hour variety.

Warrior is a $50 off a $250 purchase special on their website and only a couple pair of shoes are listed as being exempt. Unfortunately, they won't honor the discount on customizer products.

Nice to miss two weeks and come back with a four point game. I'm going to have to work a lot harder to keep the scoring streak alive next week.

Mine is in the basement, next to the furnace (hot water). If my timing is off, it can get really hot in there.

one of our defensemen had a hat trick, all on deflections past our goalie

agreed, do not upgrade to wife 1.0 with that one

probably not, I will be looking into that as well given my propensity for absent mindedness.

sounds like you need to buy a second set of the pads to keep in your bag.

But you're president of the world

Darkstar50 is the resident expert on things like that as I believe he collects older gloves. You might want to send him a PM

having to work during winterfest, can't we all just get along?

One of the last things my grandfather said to me when he was in the hospital is that he wanted me to have a couple specific guns from his collection. Someone in the family found out that they also happened to be among the most valuable in the collection and they're trying to convince me that he said something different. None of them are all that valuable, less than a grand or so each, it's just the thought that someone would try and do this that pisses me off. Just one more reason I spend as little time as possible with that part of my family.

until you get married

Trolls, dear god do I hate trolls.

I've thought about going the other direction and going white with the grille, wheels and mirrors on mine. Unfortunately, I'm getting all kinds of rust on the bottom thanks to the stuff they use on the highways in the winter up here.

Nice gloves, I'd love to find a pair like that.

I can't imagine why some people might be skeptical that a top level pad and a mid level pad from the same company are the same. CCM/RBK might have made a number of mistakes over the years, but that is not one of them. There are very significant differences. Most shin pads look roughly similar, the fact they're both white is irrelevant.
