I haven't liked any metal for ages now. I was never big on Metallica but what they've put out recently is an embarrassment. As for rock, Loverboy and Journey were rock bands. I guess I should have clarified that I considered the hair bands to be more along the lines of hard rock, around the same place that you'd put a Van Halen.

That is where I think a lot of the 80's bands were misclassified. Bands like Quiet Riot, Dokken, Ratt, and the like were not metal bands but rock bands. Putting them in the same class as Maiden or Priest just doesn't fit.

They may not be the next Beatles but I'd sure prefer Nickelback to a lot of the other supposed talented artists out there today. There is a reason most of my purchases are rebuys of old cds that have either gone wayward from my collection or been destroyed over the years.

The Mrs. used my birthday as a convenient excuse to get a Wii. Strange how when it was a present for me that I am here at work and she is at home setting it up and playing with it.

I realize it was subtle but folks should have got the joke.

I'm guessing around the holidays, but that is only a guess.

Just did a google search on the sponsor, SSAB, and they are based in Stockholm, Sweden so I would guess the Swedish Elite League.

The only one I know of in the area is No Icing which is just over the border in Hudson, NH.

Tesla hit their peak with their second cd.

Dysfunctional was the start a short stream of bad albums. The latest, Lightning Strikes Again, finally gets back to a real Dokken sound. Erase the Slate is decent and Hell to Pay is pretty good, as well.

Nice. Latest cd is the best since the split.

I can't be the only guy that listens to the hair bands, can I?

So, I wonder how many missile attacks are on his bucket list? Pun intended?

How does that work? I didn't think they were being released for another couple of months anyways? Sample provided to LHS. Someone will be in trouble with their Bauer rep.

Got the results of my latest echocardiogram and the athlete's heart issue that showed up when I was in the hospital in December has calmed down quite a bit.

I've heard they are moving decently at one of the stores around my way. Could be a regional thing.

Post larger pictures next time there, smoke.

The One90's in the ebay link have curves that big. The angle that the pic was taken makes it look milder.

Got to hold the X:60 stick last night. Very light. The shaft shape was thin and seemed rather rounded. My first thought was something similar to the Flyweight metamorphic but not as thin. It does look sharp.

That's bush no matter when you do it. I played against a guy in a tourny a couple of weeks ago who kept trying to call for passes from our team.

So you missed his two trips to the box? Both kinda weak calls. Not sure if it was the first or second call but I thought the trip in the slot was a good call.

PM9 = Hamrlik in Reebok, at least based on the updated website.

Caught sight of the stick last night, can't say where or who because I don't think they were supposed to have it out for public viewing. The color scheme appears to be following the XXXX, white top half and dark bottom. The new Bauer logo was prominent on both the top and bottom half on forehand and backhand sides of the shaft. That is about all I know. I didn't get a chance to hold it so I can't answer anything on feel, weight, or balance.

That's awful. One of the biggest rules is to give the weaker player his trip up ice now and again.
