Making the helmets larger, to incorporate more padding for impact dispersion, could very well result in more whiplash type concussions due to the extra mass. I'm in favor of doing as much as possible to reduce concussions, and I think having a scale for that is a good thing overall. I wish that HECC had been rating helmets on something other than pass-fail for years, as well as publishing the data. There's nothing wrong with trying to prevent both, if you can. However, I am not a fan of the fear-mongering style of the ESPN report.

That's odd, Flight aware only shows one diversion and no cancellations.

I disagree. I think trying the skates out of the box and adapting them from there is a much better idea. The boot is different, using the same specs on the holder is not going to feel the same.

It was her choice, she is already ignoring another therapist for her own issues. Oh hell no, I'm not that stupid.

Went to counseling with my wife, doctor told my wife almost all of the same things that I have said over the last year. Why is this in the venting spot? We probably won't be going back to see the same doctor ever again, my wife hates it when I'm right.

And people wonder why I want to move somewhere with 12 months of summer.

I should have left a while ago but I wanted to try and make it work. Unfortunately, even Brodeur couldn't save that one.

I've sold a couple over the last few months, but that was because I had too many guitars. There are a few more that I would like to sell to fund a nice 335 style guitar.

Sold a guitar today that I've owned for 20 years, left the band that I had been playing with for the last 7-8 months and then the day went downhill from there.

exactly, I have a couple and I've only worn them to paint or work on the car.

I hate having playoffs in a lower level beer league, it just encourages teams to sandbag so they can win the title.

The best move when playing a team like that is to not show up. It's tough getting a team full of guys to do that though.

This comes to mind: NSFW

Nobody is trying to convince you that you shouldn't like Hockey Tron, they are simply stating the reasons they do not like the company, its products or practices. If you like the product and it works for you, fantastic. The products that I have tried, did not work for me and I have serious ethical issues with the way they do business. Your account was registered more than 7 years ago. In that time you should have seen a number of criticisms of the way products are marketed, including some by Bauer.

There is a difference between marketing and flat out lying to people. That said, I have had issues with the marketing of various products over the years. I'm not a great player, and have never claimed to be. However, I can feel the difference in sticks and find it fairly easy to tell the difference between sticks that I have used before. I have also used sticks from the same factories that Tron uses, with the same specs and they felt nothing like the major brand sticks that I have used.

Any stick can fail. Tron has told people things in the past that could be easily refuted by anyone with industry knowledge. Claiming their sticks were top of the line Bauers that were leftover (and just repainted with Tron logos) when Bauer "abandoned" a factory was repeated by a lot of people that contacted them. Now, they just paint the sticks like the other companies and say that they "compare". You can compare anything, that doesn't mean they are equal, or even similar. The funny thing is, a lot of people can't tell the difference anyway. That says more about the players than the products.

Don't believe anything they say about their sticks. They have lied to so many people about their sticks that I have a hard time believing anything they say.

The worst part of having an inappropriate dream involving someone that you know? Not being able to pick up where you left off when you woke up.

Like so many SNL episodes over the years, it was hit or miss.

I cried when Webster's Dictionary changed the definition of literally, simply because so many people misused it.

I haven't tried their acoustics but the T186 that I played was a nice guitar.

Photos have to be hosted on a site like photobucket.

All you have to do is view the area where guys are trying to sell gear. We do allow those that are registered sellers to post ads looking for something in particular, but those ads are limited to just the other members that can sell.

Game winner on a slapper from the point.
