  1. Just really hate this...  I understand it but these jerseys are sacred to me and that's what's next.  They also totally REPLACED the team logo on the helmet.  Thats a bad sign to me  It also brings teams closer to the commercial pressures of sponsors.  I know they already are but this gets us even closer.

  2. I think it depends on. how used the stick is.  I have bought and sold used elite level sticks that have had plenty of life in them.  I think a real pro is more likely to break down a stick than a beer leaguer.  Most adult league players don't really flex that stick the way it's intended and it probably has plenty of life left in it.  I wouldn't shy away from that value. To me the real value is in the new pro stocks tho.

    The procedure went fine. I have a little more pain then usual. Could be from removing the stents. I also had a biopsy at the same time so that didn't help. Just waiting to hear when I finally get the drains out. They told me two weeks before the procedure. Hopefully I'll hear the is week. Getting labs so that will probably be a factor when deciding to remove them. That will be the best present!

    keep us posted!!!  Thinking of you!

    Going for latest procedure tomorrow morning. If things go well, it be the beginning of the end. The plan is to remove the covered stents I got in the spring. Then I'll only have shorter drains.

    If I do well afterwards I'll get the drains out in two weeks. I'm really hoping this is finally it. I've had these stupid drains since April of last year.  

    Any news Steve?

    Not having an endcap gives me nightmares about butt ending myself in the zamboni door and impaling myself. 
     

    (I don’t think I’ve had a stick stuck in the boards in years, and taping a butt end would disperse enough of the force that it wouldn’t be any more painful than normal. Still. Nightmares.)  

    Look at it the opposite way...    next time I need to clear space in front of the net for myself.....

    I guess next up for Dave will be the fetzer valve. Better load up on the Quaker State and ball bearings.

    That said..   overall doing better.  Still need to heal but I am hopeful this is it for cardiac issues for a while.

    Good luck. I hope this is your last time in for a while.

    THANKS BUD!

     

    Had the procedure yesterday.  The stented the distal artery - something they don't usually do.  Apparently its really low down and they say people don't typically feel effects from blockages there (it was also only 70% blocked).  For any of you that know me though, I am far from typical so yea, of course it impacted me!!  The procedure went well and I actually do feel a bit different and better today.  Hopefully that's not just my brain convincing me of that and this is it!  Fingers crossed!!  I am optimistic this morning!

    Massachusetts Hockey updated their "acceptable" face covering for play policy today and states the Bauer splash guard as not meeting CDC guidelines:

    What is an approved face covering?

    • *This guidance answer was modified as of 11/13/20 at 5 p.m.*
    • While the Commonwealth appreciates the efforts made by various manufacturers to address the reduction of respiratory spray from players, further review of various products has led to clarified guidance indicating that the “plastic shield” style products do not comply with the CDC guidance for face coverings. As such, both the Bauer Concept 3 Splash Guard and the Tektor 1.0 and 2.0 shields are NOT able to be used in lieu of a face covering. The CCM “Game On” mask has been deemed acceptable and can be used to comply with the face covering requirement.

    Can't say I am surprised. Good decision IMHO.

  10. The project was incredibly educational and I think really educated many of us who had never heard about profiles before.  I know I shared what I had learned with my teammates who now also have begin to seek better profiles and improve their game.  It is a pathetic that some people took advantage.  Things like that ruin it for everyone else.  Thank you for all you did with this.  I know that personal sacrifice was involved.
