Thanks man. The outcome isn't looking really great, she's basically going to lose the ability to eat, exercise, etc, for the foreseeable future (or indefinitely). I also don't know if I can play hockey anymore because I don't have the time. Oh, my career is in the shitter and student loans are literally going to break me. I really feel like I've let my life get away from me. If I had a time machine, I'd have fled the country the day I graduated college, fled to Spain and changed my name to something generic and Spanish sounding like Pablo Sanchez. Then I'd be a matador or an artist who paints Matadors and go the route of Hemingway with any luck. Yeah, you could say I'm a little depressed but objectively, my situation isn't much to be optimistic about. At times like this, the only thing that really consoles me is the thought that if Churchill had given up, we'd all be speaking German now.

My fantasy hockey team is kicking major ass, which is nice because I haven't been able to devote much time to it. Oh and to stay in shape, I've been doing plyos in the hospital, jumping on and over anything I think I can without getting in trouble. I own that lobby! I'm hoping to have some time to get back on the ice next week, which will feel sooo good. And for us Lightning fans, Stammer with another goal and assist tonight, still leading the NHL, not bad for a guy who'll "never be a dominating player in the NHL." Good call, Barry Melrose.

The wife is really sick again. I've been up 48 hours straight with her in the hospital. The worst feeling in the world is watching someone you love get viciously sick and not being able to do a damn thing about it.

Thanks for the idea, I might try that next time. And (apologies in advance but I have to say it) the "Tea Party"=face palm. As someone with extensive Constitutional study/experience, to see the people who claim to love it know so little of it scares the hell out of me. It really worries me that extremists have hijacked both parties. There's no moderate candidate left on either side, with a few democrats as exceptions. To see Charlie Crist lose as he did tonight disgusts me. He was one of the last objective candidates left. His primary opponent "accidentally" charged a new kitchen to an official campaign credit card (completely true story).

My hip flexors have simply been brutal lately (left one especially). I've tried pretty much everything I can think of but they're still constantly painfully tight and ruin my speed on the ice. I hope it's nothing major.

I was playing pickup, first time playing a game in a while, and knocked in a shoulder high rebound with my shaft. I was happy until the goalie said it was a high stick, lol.

STNHL is 100% a Synergy ST!

Is it antibiotics messing you up?

I lost like 10 lbs the past 2 weeks, not good. The cause of it? My allergies are really bad and believe it or not, it causes the world's worst heartburn and stomach pain, eating is more trouble than it's worth.

Got on the ice again. My skating sucks but my stick handling is still there. And despite not being able to buy any new gear for several months, truth is, I really don't want to. Hell, I didn't need 40 sticks and 15 pair of gloves. It's just stuff I didn't use, sitting there, taking up space. Just another fixation I don't need.

Thanks and congrats on playing for state. Go out there and show them what MSH'ers can do!

Congrats, bro!

After not getting on the ice but twice in two months, wife has been in and out of the hospital for a while now, I got to warm up a bit at stick n puck. A few of my slappers got oohs and aahs from a couple decent players. Oh, and it's fun to scare goalies.

I so hate ankle problems. I guess a major knee blowout would be far worse, but mine have bugged me for so long, I just think a bum ankle is the worst thing ever.

I'm really not sure what to do about my right ankle. Because of my severely screwed up right knee and hip, even walking makes it worse. I can feel the muscles on the outsides of it loosening up. I've done everything I can think of. I really can't fit into skates while wearing a brace, so that idea seems out. I don't have insurance at this point, so no help there either. And JR, sorry to hear about your job man. I'm in the same damn boat and the view sucks.

Got my leg and hip twisted up pretty good in the last playoff game we won. I'm off ice 10-14 days. I couldn't play the next game and we lost. Afterward, the asshole captain tells me, oh, good luck finding another team, we're only carrying 10 players next season. Total bullshit. I was the best defensive forward on the team and scored a half dozen goals and 7 or 8 assists in 10 games. He's an effing moron anyway, but that's not really the point.

Uh dude, they run the site. Drew and Chadd can chime in as much as they want. Oh and allow me to vent, if I may. Spiders man, the damned things won't go away. I had the bug dude come over and spray, really hasn't helped much. I'm not sure if I need to release 15,000 geckos in a perimeter near the lawn or what but I'm running out of ideas...

Got my 40's in the mail. My collection is complete, all these manage to fit my feet, though the one75's required quite a bit of molding. Wee!

Got my Vapor XXXX 7.5ee in the mail and they fit really well after I did my own custom lace job. I'm very pleased, it took 5 months of hunting to find my ideal size. Wee!

Sweet man, congratulations! I've been working my butt off to improve my shot and it's finally paying off a little bit. My left forearm is getting bigger and noticeably more developed from constant practice. My snapper in motion is getting better, my general shot accuracy is WAY better than 6 months ago, I'm able to pick corners on almost all shots now, except my fairly inconsistent slapshot (which I never use in game, so why bother?). I'm getting on ice 3 times a week now, which is the most since last fall. I'm trying to play as much for the next few weeks as my knee permits. I

Broke ANOTHER pro stock. I had just gotten it in, was supposed to be 90 flex, so I give it a little flex and snaps right in half. GDIT!

Is the one100 official MSRP $549?

TSR on the cuff? Grrr... BTW, I've been trying to get pics of my semi-comprehensive glove collection but the camera won't cooperate!

No, breaking that gear in is the best feeling in the world <_< And I'm going to post a few pics of my new mini collector of Sande gloves soon. I'm hooked.

One of my linemates tore ankle ligaments this past week
