Wasn't using the shim. What's the point of just the shim? The whole concept is to fill the negative space. I just don't like it. Call it a matter of personal preference.

sorry Chase... sucks...

Plenty of guys 1/2 and deeper.... that Penguins sharpening chart that circulated had a bunch.

Tried them yesterday. No go for me. I am very much a creature of habit and I just didn't like the pressure on the top of my feet. Couldn't adjust.

Good luck.

Just put in my inserts and I'll skate with them for the first time tomorrow. Seems like a lot of pressure.......

After waiting for 45 minutes we finally heard from her and she let us skate in a scrimmage that night but at 10:15 and not 9:45. Then reschedule the game for the next week.

Last week we had a game on Thursday at 10:30. We get there and they are working on the ice because the junior team that practiced before is destroyed it. At 11pm they canceled the game and we go home pissed. The league manager emails me and the other captain and says" "do you want to play Sunday at 9:45." We say yes and make plans to play. There are lots of emails between us but the league manager never responds to anything. We get to the rink that Sunday night and the game is not on the schedule! Both teams are pissed but the manager takes about 35 minutes to respond. They let us on the ice to scrimmage and she says sorry.... and then I get admonished the next day for yelling at the staff - which I did not do!! Her communication isn't bad, it is non existent!!! So pissed. We make up the game tomorrow. I hope.

@MikeBoyarchuk Went to order a set and the web site shows only Bauer SR10+. I have size 8 skates. Please advise. Question answered via email. Thanks. Great customer service on a Sunday evening.

After 6 months of injury and illness on the ice three times last week, 2 hours for Winterfest and a game Sunday night taking every other shift on D against a good team. I'M BACK BABY!!!!!

Love my dog like a family member (maybe more!) so I totally get it....

i will forever associate this team with screwing over the good people of Quebec who are the ones who actually deserved to get a franchise. Vegas is not a hockey town. They are just chasing $$$.

And today my blood sugar is back to my version of normal!!!!!! Time to take my life back!!!!!

I was doing research in the diuretic and it turns out it can increase blood glucose so now at least I think I know what's going on. I'm gonna cut back on this stuff.

Wish I could say the skate went well but I'm not going. Been having BP issiues and it feels like my heart is pounding hard. Like too much adrenaline. Could be anxiety or could be reaction to my increased BP meds. Blood sugar up the last few weeks too since the double vision and the meds (new for me) aren't helping. I'm a mess bro.

Good for you!!!! I hit the gym pretty hard last night and it went well. I am going to try and play tomorrow night!!!

Two and a half weeks ago I developed double vision that a neuro opthamalogost said was a 3rd nerve palsy. They say it is related to diabetes and high BP and that it would take about 3 months to go away. On Sunday morning I woke up and the double vision was gone!!! I am still not 100% as it seems like I get some headaches as my brain is working harder to focus and looking quickly throws things off a bit and I get disoriented but I have to think the worst is behind me and I am on the way to a super fast recovery!!! Hope so!!

Thanks for asking.. I will get to post the news in the Sweet Spot thread!!!

@Holmes_D_83 sure has me beat..... you are lucky to be alive after battling sepsis. God bless, my prayers are with you. In my case it's been a rough run.... pulled adductor led to hernia and torn groin. Had hernia surgery and rehabbing the groin and close to coming back last week when I started to get severe headaches and then woke up with double vision. Went to the ER and spent the day in the hospital getting CT scan and MRI. Thankfully the ruled out stroke, aneurysm and brain tumor. Yesterday I was diagnosed with 3rd nerve palsy. That nerve controls muscles in my left eye. They say it should resolve in about 3 months but it's very disorienting and I still have some residual headaches. My team is leaving for Montreal next week Nd I plan The whole thing and now I can't play. WF is three weeks later and there little to no chance I can skate at that. Two season on two teams playing a total of 3 games at a cost of over 1200 bucks. Driving is hard.... I'm really out of sorts and this really sucks. Oh, and I have to wear a patch or glasses with a fogged lenses to avoid seeing double. FML

The IW and Bauer bag both look like solid performers... I have owned like a zillion bags ad for me simpler is best so now I go with a pro style bag like Warrior. Both my MSH bags are pro style, I have a Warrior (thanks to MSH!!!!) and a custom JRZ we had made up for our team. Only thing I added for the JRZ was an extra valuables pocket. Works perfectly. Most important thing to remember about a bag is this... NO WHEELS!!!!

Infinite pairs!!! Just put them in the garage by the tools... she won't even know they are there!

To be married to me..... Exceptional!

Yesterday my younger son graduated high school. He was class president and as a result led the graduation ceremony. He led everyone in, introduced everyone and gave a speech representing the class. We had VIP seats in the first row. It was maybe the best day of my life. He was incredible - and I am not just saying that because he is my son. He was poised, in command of the situation and funny. I don't know how someone who is only 18 can do that. I am beyond proud and humbled.

It reminds me of the S17.....

One of my best friends was injured recently by a 20 something who came all the way down the ice and blasted him against the boards behind the net. Guy even left his feet on the hit. My buddy is out for months with a separated shoulder - and he is a surgeon!!!! The asshat who did it gets one game and the league will not even discuss it with is.
