Chadd

Take it all, please. Vacation is about four weeks away. Trying to decide where in the Caribbean we want to go. Right now we're looking at Cozumel, Barbados and, of course, Aruba.

Forecast is for another 4-8" on the makeup date for the game that was snowed out.

The goals don't come off of odd man rushes or indifferent forwards. They generally come from defensemen that can't stick with their man or make really bad choices at inopportune times.

If they don't think they have a number one goalie, they need to make a deal for one. They may not have a chance like this to win a cup again. Everyone is healthy and in their prime. With the cap problems only a year or two down the road, you have to go for it when you have the chance.

USA Hockey was Half inch last time I checked. Proper method of measurement is along the bottom of the face of the blade. If you don't have the proper tool for measuring a blade, put a piece of tape from the base of the heel to the bottom of the toe and try to slip a quarter under it. If a quarter (standing on end) fits under the tape, it isn't legal. I wasn't sure if they changed it or not. Thanks

Not if Neuvy just hurt himself last night. Theo can back up Varlamov and it doesn't rick anything.

The issue there is in expecting consistency from the NHL and its officials. If left up to Toronto, it probably would have been counted as a goal. The league is so focused on scoring that just about anything is ok with them.

Schools were closing early here on Monday even though the snow didn't hit until 3 or 4. The school closings around here have gotten absurd lately.

That's why it wasn't a penalty.

Ovechkin knocked the defenseman into the goalie and that prevented him from having a chance to stop the puck. Had Gill taken out the goalie on his own, it's a good goal.

They have to be careful that they don't put one of the guys in a position of power before a long term contract is signed.

Tweaked an injury?

Pittsburgh got nothing compared to here or Philly

They canceled our playoff game, makeup is Monday when there is another potential storm.

We had 6 or 7" last night, now I can't see across the street.

It would have to be a pretty major "oops". Feel free to disagree with me, it's just my opinion. I find that I need to do my skates a bit more often with FBV.

We're in the 15-20" part of the picture and that doesn't include the 16 or so still on the ground from the last one.

Don't forget how Price got the job in the first place and how well that is working out right now.

Oh it works alright, the question is if you like it.

There is nothing wrong with being a skeptic, only with those who have an agenda and claim to be a skeptic to hide their agenda. I am notoriously skeptical about the claims manufacturers make, but my experience with the product made me a believer. The same way you know with a traditional ROH sharpening. Either you trust them, or you don't, technology has nothing to do with that. More flat at the top does not equal more bite. You're taking multiple measurements and their relationship and drawing an incorrect assumption based on one factor. I have yet to see a skate where the steel thickness has been so far out of the norm that it has made a significant difference. And even if it did, you simply try another hollow to find the one that works for you. A bad sharpener will screw up any hollow. I see it happen all the time with traditional ROH sharpenings. The spinner makes it less likely to screw up dressing the wheel, but to quote Ron White; "You can't fix stupid." If someone butchers a skate so badly that you can't skate on an FBV sharpening, you would have the same problem with ROH. I don't think anyone should be charging more for it, but that's their business. Much of the technology has been used in machining and manufacturing, but what does that to do with skate sharpening or the validity of the end result? The concept that created the spinner is unrelated to the FBV. Other than the fact that the spinner allowed the FBV to come into existence. You have hit almost every negative from the Blademaster marketing materials. It sure sounds like the shop you trust has an agenda against the FBV and I tend not to trust people with an agenda.

1. Looking at the warning it says "Gratuitous profanity", no idea what you're bitching about. 2. Additional warning and suspension added for bitching about getting a warning.

Coffey was a better passer.

You ordered Thursday night: Order is processed on Friday, two business days from Friday is....Tuesday. My phone has been on the verge of death for a few days since it vibrated into the kitchen sink full of water. I ordered my replacement on Thursday night and it will be here on Tuesday as well.

Snow ended up even with the top of my bumper, not looking forward to shoveling out.
