shotty

man, those ccm 4 rolls are hot.

mostly just don't call for the puck. 70% of the time if you deserve it and are in position to do something with it you'll probably get it. Good point. The exception is the point. There are a lot of forwards out there (even ones who aren't total jerkoffs) who end up with the puck down in the corner and it's like their eyes get locked on the net, even though they're below the goal line with a D and the center blocking their passing lanes and their own D is hopping up and down at the top of the faceoff circle, wide open and screaming his lungs out for a pass. ...Not that that's ever happened to me. All the time. Or anything. ;) yeah i f'in hate that. i've stopped calling for passes at the point, now. by the time they look up, see me, and decide that they'd rather get an assist instead of a shot at a goal, the pass gets picked off anyways. and if you are going to pass it my way, make sure it's hard and crisp. i dont have time to settle down your fluttering grandma pass. EDIT: i LOVE how there's twenty three pages of unwritten rules. gotta love this game!

three games in three days. pumped. 8:30pm friday 11:00am saturday 5:30pm sunday

sexy. im glad you chose not to put a number on the thumb. i think it looks ridiculous.

i wrote: THIS BOTTLE WILL GIVE YOU HERPES on my bottle, and everyone stayed away from it.

dont slash my stick after i bust up your lame and repetitive dangle move that hasn't worked once all session.

good choice. i skate on 1/2" ROH and the tech suggested 90/75, i didnt like it, ended up with 100/50. hope you like it as much as i do.

i found that post slightly hard to follow. i wish i didnt though because it sounds like a decent story. i've only ever adopted rescue dogs. my mom was a huge breeder believer and i've seen what messes those purebreds become. even with proper training et al.

What a game by DP and the Blues. I enjoyed it throughly :) I didn't :( <-- Canucks fan once it was 4-0 and perron had two, i was rooting for him to get his third.

and thats the most up to date, AFAYK?

two shops in PA. http://www.blackstonesport.com/fbv_where.cfm#Pennsylvania SouthPaw, the feel is different, so i suppose if you're just figuring out the game, you might as well give it a try now before you get used to ROH. its not necessarily meant for "experts" but, just like anything else, the better you are at the activity, the more likely you are to notice an impact. and use it to improve your game.

they probably didn't respond because you didn't place the order yet. imagine how many emails they get from window shoppers??? stevem above placed his order with additional custom options in the comments box and they came the way he wanted.

that went through my mind as i left... considering my team is falling apart this year.

played some of the best pick up hockey in my life on the weekend. 16 guys in total and one goalie for about half the session. that would normally be a complaint, but the calibre of players, the intensity and the speed made it so much fun that we didn't even need goalies, it was more fun hitting posts and crossbars. with about 35 minutes left in the session, a bunch of guys left, leaving 9 guys total. one spare and barely any breaks, yet the speed stayed high. TONS of moves, fucking amazing passes, tons of banter, it was like this group had been playing together for years. no attitude, everyone was smiling, and everyone was making great plays. after the game, all nine guys brought their bags into the same room, which again, never happens, and we all sat there for almost an hour laughing our asses off, chatting and recapping. no one knew each other. it was amazing. better dynamic here than on some of the best teams i ever played on.

dudes who are "open to offers" or "willing to negotiate" but balk at $7-10 off. clearly you're not.

they're awesome. there's a 1.5mm heel lift and they're profiled to 9' +0.5 took a game to get used to, now I'm in tuuks for life. I can definitely feel the height increase over the cobras and I feel the c+ is more responsive. no I never tried the LS2. I was thinking seriously about it, but it's either one or the other, as the mount pattern isn't the same and I didn't want to muck up the outsole too badly. I ended up choosing the c+ because it was available through trade, and a complete set up in LS2 would have run me $150+. also, even though I'm not a jagr fan, the black holders would look cool. thanks stuie7. glad we could make it happen.

bam:

those are fuckin sexy. good job.

i think it would have been hilarious if he said "hell" instead of "world"

haha. I had a buddy who was a goalie. he asked for shots only, didn't matter where. but the punks on his team came in during warm ups doing f'in 3-4 move dekes repeatedly, so he'd just stand at the top of the crease in his set position and let them deke around him without even flinching, and they'd all get mad at him for not trying to stop them. talk about missing the point of the warm up.

in all fairness, you should have known this beforehand. the carbon white is listed as 'pearl' in the customizer. post the pics here... that's what this thread is all about!

how do you know, at the goal line, that you're going for an end to ender? i usually make that decision in between the blue line and centre line. p.s, i thought curling ice is different?

thats a cool gift. mine reeled me in with a trip to ny to see the rangers (which was fucking unbelievable), and ever since then its been bunk. last year she forgot, and as compensation, her mom, who was visiting us at the time, gave me a slice of black forrest cake and a scrabble dictionary.

so our team is on a losing streak (first time in years). our manager/assistant captain is a loser in every sense of the word and puts himself on the top line with our two best players (his definition of staying with them on the offense, is hanging out in between the blue line and centre line waiting for a breakaway pass, even though if they DID decide to pass to him, he's find a way to fuck up and when they dont, he skates ahead of them, stops at the blue line then watches as they break in). this guy can barely stick handle, we're pretty sure he can't do cross overs both ways, and does big sweeping turns instead of stopping and starting. he's abusive to officials and opponets, takes dumb penalties and makes the most ignorant errors on ice. his linemates say playing with him is like playing shorthanded all the time. anyways, our REAL captain comes to a game (started the team 10 years ago but has such a busy sked, he plays maybe 10-12 games a year), finally... and he shakes up the lines... puts dude on the third line with guys who are more suitable to his skill, and puts this theo fleury type guy we have (small size, tons of energy, not a very strong skater but good hands) with the two top guys (they are INCREDIBLE together). anyways, EVERYONE has a great game. everyone. dude on the third line gets a bunch of passes, is able to keep up with his linemates and the top line produces three of our four goals. we ended up losing 5-4, but it was an amazingly fun game. even the refs were excited watching it. so we're in the room after, everyone is pumped even though we lost... and one guy pipes up and says "hey *name*, you played great with your new line mates", instead of saying thank you, because he never gets compliments on his play, he says "yeah, but i miss playing with *name* and *name*" another guy pipes up and and says "who wouldnt?" and he says "well, we have so much chemistry... we've been playing together forever" (one season, and one of the guys missed over half the games last year). the guy is so fuckin blind to his lack of skill and lack of respect from teammates in the room and on the ice... what's more is that he's SUPER critical of our guys on the ice when we fuck up, however, we're a bunch of nice guys so we refrain from calling each other out during the game so here's the worst player on the ice, by far, being the most critical of everyone around him but himself. and the worst thing is, if we were to "intervene" on his behavior, not only would it bring a ton of drama, he'd fuckin lose it on us and go into full denial mode. there's a buzz around the room of forming a break-away/spinoff team because this fucker is so poison.... and we're only 5 games into the season.

Did that this past April during a tourney in Charleston. It sucks, but I guess it's the price you pay for getting that drunk. i dont miss those days. my worst ever was $1200. what put me way over the top was that i made the mistake of hiring a cab driver to wait for us outside an after hours bar, and he did.... waited for 5 hours with the meter running and charged my visa.
