You're getting free skates so throwing the guy $30 or so to size you up is still a bargain. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if the store in question has a fitting fee, but I'll pay if they do, and I'll probably need to come back and have them baked as well (which I know they charge for).

Hills 710 Report post Posted March 12, 2015 Beating the first place team in beer league twice in a row with a GAA of 0.5 in those 2 games. We handed them their only loses in the entire season to knock them out of the playoffs.I played decent, but I have never seen a beer league team say they were going to play a system and actually go out and implement it. So proud of them and they seriously made my job easy. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EJB 488 Report post Posted March 13, 2015 Getting off the snide! Been a bit since I've lit the lamp.... Tonight finally grinned one. It was ugly, behind the net, tried to throw it in front for a chance, caught a skate, off the pipe and in, popped out immediately, under the goalie. I'll take it! Funny, besides me and the refs, everyone was getting at the faceoff circle. I skated to center ice and sat, finally had to say to my team "hey, Boys, that's a goal."Truth be told, don't know if the ref didn't make a big call or what, I had to look to see if a ref was at the scorers table to confirm....(when I spoke up)Wouldn't have mattered, but won in shootout, after being down 2. Fun night and better yet, love a game with two well matched teams.Won't post in the crap spot, but last shift broke a stick... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least the squeeze is a bit less now, even though I'll be working nights and all weekend on these last two. I'd kill for a 9-5 sometimes.

badger_14 601 Report post Posted March 15, 2015 The Mozart (Requiem) went beautifully this morning, although there's still some hiccups to be ironed out before next week. The choir and the congregation had a wonderful musical "Moment" at the end of service, singing Amazing Grace acapella as the final hymn. I'm reminded why I love singing so much.Our director was so pleased with us as we ran through everything in the morning, she said, "You sound great, I could've had call 15 minutes later." (cue rumblings from the choir - call was at 8:30am for a 10am service.) 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
