When played with skill and pride, I agree. Unfortunately, that's not always the case.

Do you mean the grass-diving version preferred around the world or the version where it's a penalty if most of the players actually put their foot on the ball that is played over here?

It has little to do with their weight and more with their edge control and skating ability.

Ability to feel and control edges has absolutely nothing to do with weight.

I ran out to the store after the second period and missed the goal. The assist was beautiful

I also keep mine on a pegboard that is marked with the measurements. I have found that cleaning the area marked with the hollow with steel wool or wire brush from time to time keeps it legible longer.

I tried that in my game the other night and hit my forward in the throat. #i'mnoDavidPerron

I see used D16 variants on craigslist for well under your price on a pretty regular basis. Believe me, I've been tempted to jump on them a couple times.

Agreed

Agreed, but David has never been in a position where he has had the same quantity and quality of scoring opportunities before. He's playing first line minutes with Sid, on the PP with guys like Letang, Malkin, etc... While he may not continue at a goal per game rate, he should easily put up career numbers in this situation.

Nice, I'm still banging away on an old Alvarez but I would love to get a D18 when I get a couple bills paid off. Somehow I still haven't made the drive up to Nazareth PA to visit the factory.

Datsyuk is the same way and people never say a bad word about him

I'm sure there are guys on the team a lot better qualified than I am to give that tour. I will try and make it out this season to catch a game now, as much as I dislike the city and team. There are very few players in the league that are able to play at their full potential every night, but I think Sid is one of the few guys in the league that have that kind of drive and will set a great example. I also think David was able to put forth a high level of effort more often than most of the guys in Edmonton, but I didn't get to see them every night and I could very well be wrong.

The Pens announcers where talking about him all night. He made a couple really good defensive plays and was physical. He seemed to get lost in the mix a bit when the Pens put Sid and Malkin on the same line and the team really didn't perform as well overall. He was also on the point of the second PP unit, you don't see that very often.

At least the blocking instincts are there, you just have to remember to put the legs out to the side and not behind you.

That is pretty much what I see as well. The Oilers made it known that he was available and the Pens got the ball rolling on this one.

Sid has proven to have a hard time finding wingers to play with him. He actually seems to prefer playing with guys that have an aggressive "crash line" mentality more than pure skill guys. David has the ability to finish or be a setup guy, it will be interesting to see how it all works out. I would expect him to get an opportunity to play with both Malkin and SId over the next few weeks. On a completely selfish note, I'm happy that I will finally get to see him on a regular basis.

I'm pretty much done tilting at windmills here

Norris Trophy winner, huh? BS

And I can't see how anyone would think that it wasn't a vast improvement over a stylus.

They are supposed to fit tight to your foot, I have to unlace mine halfway and loosen the rest to get my foot in or out.

Since my name was thrown out there: 95/75 will feel more like 1/2" ROH than 90/75. I used to use 5/8 or 3/4 and I feel more comfortable on 90/75.

Congrats man, I hope it works out for you

I believe the Robertson heads are #2. I know they are the same as the Mission Pitch and I probably have a few spares if you need some.

Finally recovering from what I am guessing was the flu. I was completely out of it for almost three days and I'm still lethargic and a bit dehydrated.
