I work at a University and I am their "Mac guy". We just support our computers like an enterprise. As far as corporate junk we obviously don't have any of that. I like to just put the bare bones stuff on my images. No need to over load it with crap. If someone needs some additional they let me know. Thank god I don't support phones. Only computers some people have phones the school gave them that I help them out with, but they are just basic iPhones we don't have any profiles or security limitations we push to them. One of the benefits of working for a school and not a corporate environment. With all that said if anyone has suggestions for a Mac netboot server I am all ears. I am trying to stay away for Lunix.

As an IT professional and an Apple fan boy Apple is making it harder and harder to support their computers in an enterprise environment. As of Spring of 2018 Apple will be removing some of the features I use in their Server App. This is very frustrating.

Practice how you play. Go to open skate and maybe just wear your lower half and elbows this way if you fall you're protected. You are going to look odd, but who cares.

The hockey tutorial guy went to the CCM Pro Factory and saw how their pro skates are made. It looks like CCM is starting to do 3D foot scans

I totally agree. Apple made a huge improvement with the 4th gen apple tv. Like I stated earlier i use my dads cable login for most of the stuff (HGTV is one of them the wife and I are pretty sad fixer upper is going away). I also use my brothers netflix account. It's not that the wife and I can't afford the $10 a month it's more why should we if someone is offering it to us for free. Realistically the only thing I pay for besides the internet is NHL. We have prime and our tv supports prime but i'm waiting for the prime app. We don't have much interest in hulu. If everything went away I would just subscribe to sling. Its cheaper than a cable plan anyway.

As a former Apple employee, I can tell you about 85% of the people on the floor don't know anything. Yes Apple TV does have the TV app and it will remember shows you watch on primetime and Netflix etc and pull them up. I was like you where I would pop on the guide check what was on and scroll until I found something. Once I cut the cord I had to find a different way of doing this. Now, for the most part, I know when I come home from work what is going to be on each app at that time. On the weekends is usually when I am searching for something. As of late though I have been working on my house so no time to watch tv on the weekends. Its an adjustment for sure, but it's nice not having that $200 a month bill. I would try looking into SlingTV its almost like baby steps into cutting the cord. We were going to do that until we realized I could just use my dad's login for everything. I also like the options of getting the East and West time zones on the different apps.

I think as more and more people are cutting the cord the price of internet services will go up since the cable companies need to get theirs, and people need internet in this day. One thing I would like to see is something similar to sling tv except I get to choose which channels I want. I can see it being a flat fee of say $20 a month for 5 networks add an extra few bucks for premium cable. Realistically people with cable watch the same 5-10 channels and the rest is all just there and unneeded. Or the other thing that might happen is as internet service prices go up they may include an option for logging into the network streams like they offer now. I cut the cord a few years ago, but I cheated since my Dad can't live without 1,000 channels I have a login to his Verizon FiOS account and still can watch live tv through various Apple TV apps. With that being said I could use MSG GO to watch the Islanders, Devils and Rangers. I also log into NBCSN. I still choose to pay for the NHL package for the sear convenience of having the NHL TV app on my Apple TV. Maybe if MSG GO comes out with an app for the Apple TV I won't renew my NHL package. I do like being able to watch random games though. I also agree blackouts in 2017 are dumb. I'd gladly pay an extra few dollars for the NHL package if it excluded all blackouts including things on NBCSN and NHL Network.

That's a good point. However, this sort of thing does happen on a lot of plays when the puck is loose. As I stated earlier Goalie B said he didn't have an issue with the play and no other players saw an issue with the play. People have done a lot worse than what I tried last night and haven't been scolded. Perhaps since the guy who runs it is a friend felt like he could make an example out of me and I wouldn't take it personal with him as other players might and may not return. I have been playing with them for 4 years but admittedly I may miss a skate here or there so maybe the first time something like this happened I missed it and never got the memo. Again sorry to the goalies I offended I won't let it happen again.

Funny thing is I was a lacrosse goalie for most of my life never got into hockey goalie and I have sympathy for hockey goalies. I had a protective circle around me that no one could enter. Hockey goalies have some blue paint that doesn't mean anything unless you make contact with the goalie. I still wore less padding though

That's very true. I was looking for an outsider perspective I guess. I swear I'm not a bad guy. I don't run goalies. I haven't been in a fight since way back when it "mattered" (high school hockey). I was trying to make an honest play on a loose puck that if we had refs the play would not have been blown dead... Please don't break my thumbs and leave the horse heads out of my bed thank you.

No, if the goalie has it I see no need to wack at it. If its loose puck in the crease area sure I will try to poke it free for another shot or poke it in during a game or a pickup where its warranted and other players are making similar plays. I didn't take a wack at the puck it was a simple poke. Like I said earlier I was the dick I will slow it down for my Monday night skate. Sorry to all the goalies I offended with my post.

I just try to emulate the pace of the pickup. Like I said this is a private skate with the same people for the last 4 years. Everyone in this skate is a Johnny Try Hard if I was to slack off it wouldn't be as fun for me or the other players (this goalie excluded). Now if I go to a public pick up I don't play nearly as hard as I do on Monday nights.

Fair enough I'm the dick

You don't sound like a dick. It was a try-hard move because this is a game paced private pick up. It is full of 20 or so try-hards. I can go to a "normal" pick up and I would never rush the net like I did last night. And to be honest a sorry goalie from this goalie would not get a "no worries response" id get a laundry list of reasons why that was the worst thing I could possibly do to them. This goalie tends to be a bit of a crier. Some rushing down the wing and made a move to more of a scoring position beamed them in the head last week with a wrister and apologized and the goalie went off on them as to why they should shoot lower. I should also say there have been similar situations where the puck was loose in the crease and Goalie B has been scrambling trying to cover it and people have taken wacks at it as well with no one saying anything. I think I was just the one to get caught. Oh well.

That's fair thanks for the perspective. Not trying to add fuel to the fire the other goalie thought the play was fine I will give Goalie A benefit of the doubt since it was them and Goalie B was at the other end of the ice. Other players on the ice didn't see an issue with it except for the guy who runs the pickup. Just frustrating.

I can see where you are coming from but the goalie wasn't that close to covering it. They were going to cover it. I would see they were in a butterfly but their catcher was still chest to stomach hight defiantly above the leg pad. I saw the puck as a loose puck in the crease. I could have been a little more descriptive. Like I said these pickups are usually game paced.

I got scolded last night in my weekly private pick up game for going after a puck in the crease. The scenario was I took a shot from the hash marks the goalie blocked it. I rushed the net going for the loose puck as the goalie was dropping down to cover it. I still made contact with the puck before the goalie could cover it. The goalie yelled at me and the guy who runs the skate (a friend of mine) skated towards me yelling "We don't do that. That's a dead puck." Seriously wondering was I wrong in this situation? Loose puck we are playing a game. I know we don't keep score and me scoring wouldn't matter, but we try to emulate game scenarios and not half ass the skate.

I finally did it. I left my helmet at home. I was called last minute to sub for this team. I hade about 15 minutes to get to the rink which is 10 minutes from my house and get ready. I quickly pack up all my stuff and forgot the helmet. I had to borrow one from the rink a Bauer 5000 with a scratched up Bauer half shield. I had to tilt the visor the whole game because I just couldn't see through it. I normally wear a cage so I was very uncomfortable out there. I scored a goal the team still lost. I just felt bad because I just couldn't give 100% without a cage.

Awhile back I gave my parents a old hockey bag full of Hockey and Lacrosse equipment to store while I was in a tiny apartment. Well my dad was cleaning the garage, and calls me to ask what he wants him to do with the bag especially now that I own a house. Most of it was mid level gear that I didn't care about any more and held no value. I told him to grab my TPS gloves out of the bag. He told me some mold had grown on them. I said don't worry I will figure out something. Well my mom took it upon herself to put them in the washing machine (front load), and I received this picture. pour one out for my gloves. I told them to hold on to them still. I may get a fabric marker and paint them or just use them as is. I was only planning on using them for pond hockey anyway.

I work at a small hockey shop, and I know I could benefit from having a Sparx with me as well as the blademaster. During the season there are just so many times being there by myself I get backed up to a 45 minute wait. I could see me doing the locals skates on the blademaster since they come to our shop specifically for the sharpening, and any out of towners that only come through once or twice a year on the Sparx. I could also through figure skates in there, because I just plain hate sharpening those. However my boss is very cheap, and he will not purchase one. Wishful thinking.

I don't really think there is a place to put this so this seems like a good spot. I work at a small LHS one day a week, and yesterday my boss informed me that he had hired a new employee and I had to train him. We got to talking, and I had said how I was a late adopter to composite sticks. I told him I was still using wood while playing in college even though composite sticks had been out. He followed up with a "Dude how old are you?" I'm 29. We had a good laugh about it.

Back when I was in high school my Junior year (2003-2004) we had 3 bomb threats in 3 days. The whole school went out to the football field for about 2 hours or so, and then went back to business as usual.
