  1. I disagree with the price factor. There are plenty of kids in top level Bauer and CCM skates. It took CCM a long time to get back to being considered a player again in the skate category and I think Easton is still trying to recover from some stumbles.
  2. I'm wondering if they're just going to blow the whole thing up in Pittsburgh and start all over. I've always thought of Sullivan as a "young player" coach.
  3. Fit and mobility are completely the forefront of the skate. The pitch scares off a lot of potential converts. If they offered a more traditional pitch then you'd see older beer leaguers buying into them in droves.
  4. I think if Easton offered the Mako with the RB2 holder then there might be more folks in them. A lot of players don't want to switch to such an aggressive pitch.
  5. Didn't care for a couple of outright flops he took against Boston last night. I thought he knocked that stuff off.
  6. Score some muscle relaxants and inti-inflammatories from your PCP. Trust me, those do wonders and greatly shorten the episode.
  7. Refs with attitudes give the rest a bad name.
  8. I would do the same with guys who started stuff. They'd always have the first minor and whatever followed would be extra penalties. I found the best way to calm scrums was with a "next shot gets the extra". It works like a charm, especially after the first time some guy tests you on it.
  9. Have you tried playing with the pitch of your steel? That may solve your issues.
  10. The 87A is a much flatter curve than the P92.
  11. As one lucky enough to come out on the other side alive, all I can say is pay attention to your bodies, fellas. Don't minimize potential symptoms of real trouble.
  12. Or their parents actually parent them and then looking cool isn't the be-all-end-all of their existence.
  13. They still looked better that Brett Hull's "M1".
  14. That was my thinking as I recall she used to be prominently displayed on the Bauer site. And again, I think this was a very special case with a niche, micro manufacturer.
  15. My guess is it is more an example of one brand that isn't paying the license fee is specifically allowing their piece of gear to be modified to appear as a licensed brand. With VH being such a small niche product, they are probably a whole lot more amenable to the idea (probably thanks to a nice check from Bauer) than a bigger player who is paying to have their brand visible. Trust me, there is no way that you would see a Graf skate mocked up with Reebok (now CCM) logos while Graf is paying a license fee.
  16. The Mrs got the first family hole in one on a completely legit shot.
  17. Speaking as someone who may need those specific services in the future, just be confident in your process and trust your training.
  18. It never hurts to bring a supplemental 12 pack once in a while, even if some other guy is always bringing it.
  19. Hockey players and referees should not have skin this thin. In the worlds of hockey lockerrooms and old friends hacking on each other is a way of life. If you can't laugh at yourself then you're missing half the fun.
  20. There is no ceiling. Sure, you will look like Bambi on ice at the outset but as long as you keep with it and put in some time and effort then who knows how much you can improve.
  21. Ha, even my '13 Mazda 3 can do that. I guess the old adage is false, you don't get what you pay for.
  22. Sure, but usually not because the glue was letting go on components of the boot.
