The Venting Spot

[The Venting Spot]

I'll be celebrating my 19th wedding anniversary on April 20th, and the finalization of my divorce on July 23rd.

A good friend of mine, who I've been coaching both of our son's hockey teams with for years, is in a coma from contracting viral encephalitis.

I watched a high school game last night before my son's game. The final score was 18-1, and the 18th goal was a "Hertl".

Marion Barry

I bet he'll still get votes in the next election.

I wouldn't worry about them...there are always a few in every EMT class. They won't make it past the final practicals/exam. Don't let them take you down with them.

That Star Trek episode, "Amok Time", had the best fight scene music ever.

Plantar fasciitis sucks!

Thanks to a member here who sold me the pair for a great deal ($80 for 2 shipped)

Those Command Grips are a pain in the ass to install... wish I'd googled it first and saw to put WD-40 on the grip before sliding it over.

gave myself a hangnail.

Can't wait to fire a few shots off with it.

I'm looking for a 2nd blade to use. I have my Coffey curve on this, but I'd like something that would keep the puck down. Something with a little less loft.

Use hairspray, without the tape that comes with them. Apply a copious amount to the end of the stick, and the inside of the grip. Works great!

Does he get sunburnt easily? Lol, honeslty, I think him forgetting to pack sunscreen isnt something that should allow you to not let him play, lol. If I told my hockey coach that I couldnt play because my parents wouldnt let me for forgetting let's say my neckguard, he would go completlet insane, but then again im 15 and your sons like 8 or 9.

Someday, when you're a parent, you will understand.

[OEM and Hockeytron]

Wow. The uniform buyer for the high school hockey league I coach for (she's also the mom of one of my players) buys jerseys from Tron for the teams that don't want to go full custom. I'm going to show her this thread. I have a feeling that she will be going elsewhere for hockey jerseys next season.

There's nothing here like that for adults, besides the Robby Glantz clinics and some Sharks Summer Hockey clinics at Sharks Ice. The Robby Glantz clinic might surprise you.

You keep score in pick-up?

Mandela was epic, for so many reasons. There is so much that we can all learn from the example that he set.

The innocent men, women, and children he personally signed off on blowing up, might disagree with you, if they were still alive.

[Easton Mako Skates]

What about putting a lift at the front of the holder?

[Show It Off]

I picked these up at the San Jose Sharks equipment sale a few weeks ago. Bauer TotalOne Brad Winchester pro stocks. Double stitched, Plus two stiffness, double felt tongues, black liner. I swapped out the fake Fusion steel for my Step Velocity steel. Left skate is 11 1/4 EA, right skate is 11 1/2 EA. They feel as if they were made for me, they fit perfectly. I'm still getting used to the extra stiffness of these, compared to my 8090's. I've only played two games so far with these, but these are the most comfortable skates I've ever worn, by far.

My wife was mad when she found out I went to the sale, because she knew that I would buy something. She started to give me a hard time about buying these, but I knew that she had bought a brand new pair of roller derby skates on the same day, for more than twice as much as I spent on these skates. It could not have worked out more perfectly than that!

Hugo Chavez.

Good riddance.

Thanks. I feel like I'm always the last one to get the Newspeak updates.

Us old guys have to stick together.
