Chadd

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.

Staal engineered the trade that sent him to Carolina to play with his brother. If you think they can trade him without upsetting his brother, the foundation of the franchise, you are crazy. Add in the best young player that Carolina has had since the elder Staal was drafted and that trade seems incredibly implausible. Scoring shouldn't have anything to do with letters on a jersey, nor does lack of a letter indicate a lack of leadership. There are a number of reasons why players get or do not get letters on their shoulder and many of those reasons have absolutely nothing to do with how they play.

The ubiquity of the holder has very little to do with the design of the holder itself, other than being relatively reliable.

In the games that I have seen, David is one of the few forwards on the roster that competes at both ends of the ice every night. Moving him will only compound their problems, not solve them.

Frustrating as hell when you give them a chance to make a bad call and they take you up on it.

Thanks for the update, I know a lot of us have been pulling for you.

Now, that is the type of thing you only get on the internet. A Finn commenting on the English skills of an American.

I usually suggest staying with the same type of FBV and only changing one variable at a time. Most of my guys say that it is pretty noticeable, they prefer the extra grip of the 95/75

Never happened to me, but that really wouldn't be a function of the pitch. It sounds like you're used to a shorter profile, I used to see that a lot with people switching to Graf.

It's an amazing feeling when a few things break your way all at the same time. I just hope I make the right decisions.

I paid less than that for a one way rental from Key West to PA.

I agree with just about everything that you. Agreed, however I believe that their marketing is equally as responsible as the quality of their skates.

All of my guys that had bite issues with the 90/75 loved the 95/75.
