Quick story. A buddy of mine bought some skis from shop A. He brought them to shop B to have the bindings adjusted and the edges done (shop B close to home and trusted we their techs). The owner of shop B wouldn't do it and told him to bring the stuff back to shop A. Neither me or my buddy purchased anything from shop B again. Shop B lost thousands of dollars in business over $50 in tech work. So it's not that I don't understand it, it's I don't think it makes very much business sense. I didn't buy the skates there, so what. I'm in your shop now looking to do business. If you're gonna turn me away or charge me triple, I'll probably never shop there again. So not only did you lose out on the skate purchase, you're gonna lose out on the stick purchase, the glove purchase, monthly sharpens, ect.. ect.. Imagine if auto dealers did this with repairs and service, you'd be looking at a $100 oil change. Hey if you bought the car from them it would have been free. When it comes to baking I understand the charge. It's time consuming and it's part of the fitting process. So the shop should donate services to you, somebody who bought elsewhere due to marginally lower prices already even if they knew any service they got would be crappy, just in the hope that you MIGHT return and spend money at their shop in the future. Which you wouldn't. You demonstrated that when you bought elsewhere for a buck or two less on a thousand dollar piece of equipment. Why in hell would they cater to you? I dont see it as them wanting the shop to cater for them. Its more the fact that the shop owner wouldnt even do the work. It could have been a brand that shop didnt carry and couldnt get, it could be a variety of reasons why he went to another shop to get his product. In the end I cant blame the guy for not going back and spending money at shop B for the simple fact they refused to do the work, even though it seems this guy had no problem paying for it. To me thats the equivalent of me going into my LHS and them refusing to sharpen my skates because I didnt buy them there.

Reports are now she had flu like symptoms for several days, was taking prescription meds and had been vomiting.

Thats Murray for you. Blues fans thought that some of us Kings fans were bitter about losing a "great" coach in Murray and now some of them realize what we were talking about. Hes a good coach for tournaments but when it comes to young guys in the NHL, not so much. He expects guys to conform to his style of play and play a grinding style of game. I dont think its a coincidence that after a few years of his style teams start to have major injury issues.

That and if youre drinking mixed drinks they tend to be a little more stronger

Ever listen to Blood Stands Still?

Honestly not many. During most of his time here the drafting sucked. Had more luck with older euros than they did drafting young kids. Alot of the young talent started coming into the pipeline his last few years here by whihc time he was already on his way out.

Dark I have to disagree with him developing those 2 into 30 goal scorers. He developed their defensive side of the game but their scoring talent was there the whole time. Cammalleris first couple of years he was up and down because of Murray. Both guys had breakout years when giving the oppurtunity to be creative offensively. Murray stifled that in all the young guys here. Not sure if hes the same way in STL but here in LA his coaching style wore thin with the players. Essays and pushup and high school rules. He did alot of good the first few years here but then players started getting injured, which had alot to do with the grinding style of play he was using. Leading the league in man games lost and setting the record 2 years in a row wasnt a coincidence. A style that works in high school might not be the best style for a long 82+ game NHL season.

Chadd he did the same thing in LA. He loves his grinders and expects all his players to play like one. Its going to eventually drive STL fans nuts.

Dont jump back into it. I broke mine a little higher up than yours. Took me out of the cast after 3 weeks wasnt fully healed. Cleared me to play hockey a month later. 6 months later go to a different doctor still hadnt fully healed. Couldnt do anything physical such as running ,riding a bike for 3 months after that. Almost had to have bone graft surgery done because of bad doctors advice.
