    And diagnoses and awareness increase.

    They responded twice?

    There is no such thing as a free lunch.

    He wasn't pointing out inconsistencies so much as he was indicating deficiencies.

    Anyone else see the irony of a user named "Ulf" with Samuelsson's picture clamoring for safety in hockey?

    A helmet that doesn't fit is not a better alternative, regardless of how well it is supposedly rated. The problem I have is that these "results" are public without being validated and now people are going to make potentially bad decisions based on them.

    Here is the other thing. The research has yet to go through peer review but the gist is still making headlines. Regardless of how the research fares after scrutiny the "damage" has been done.

    Until they find a way to get foam between the brain and the skull, the manufacturers have their work cut out for themselves.

    For research academics, it is about getting published. That is what brings money and notoriety to universities. There have been plenty of stories through the ages of published and peer reviewed papers turning out to be false or doctored. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/03/27/fabricated-peer-reviews-prompt-scientific-journal-to-retract-43-papers-systematic-scheme-may-affect-other-journals/

    I've said it before and I'll say it again; helmets prevent fractures, not concussions.

    Don't feed the troll.

    Or maybe teams are requesting for gloves better match as far as coloring designs work.

    They are updating one of the stick lines so that is probably why you are seeing the current offerings getting marked down.

    Judging by the stick release, I expect we'll see a CX lineup of new skate and gear as a holiday release.

    Not having money shouldn't be a reason for being isolated. It doesn't cost anything to have a buddy over to watch a game or movie or to just hang out and kill a night. Maybe catch some live music at a local coffee shop. You can have a night out for the price of a cup of joe and a scone. You could join a study group at school and/or find a support group to help deal with the depression or OCD. There are plenty of ways to be among people that won't cost anything.

    I always have a radius done on a new set of steel. Definitely not something I'd want to do myself.

    "These go to 11....."

    Oh, I agree that he definitely overreacted by going head high all night. I could see one or maybe two to get your attention but then it should have been over and done with.

    Not necessarily. They may feel that increasing the price in Canada would adversely impact demand. Essentially, they are taking a hit on Canadian sales while riding out the exchange variances.
  22. chippa13
    I guess you decided not to read the line of the VH post that stated all of their materials costs are in USD. Just because a company is based and has its operations in one country, that does not guarantee that all of their costs would be in that country's currency.
  23. chippa13
    You realize that you are complaining about how every company that does business on both sides of the border prices. You have to think of this as if they had 2 store fronts, one in the US and one in Canada. None of the other hockey companies fluctuate their prices to account for exchange rates. There is a reason that the major players put restrictions on sellers on either side of the border from making sales on the other.

    He probably viewed it as a reckless and perhaps even out of control action. These kind of things occur more often in the lower divisions of leagues.
  25. chippa13
    By charging Canadian buyers a fixed price in CAD, yes, that is what is happening. But it would be a tough business decison for them to increase their CAD prices because the incomes of Canadian buyers don't fluctuate with the exchange rate. If the CAD exchange drops then Canadian businesses don't increase what they pay employees to make up for it.
