Jamarquan 201 Report post Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) Decided to dust off the old NXG (which I took every available opportunity to dump on when I used it because of the PM9 curve), on a whim. I love it. Shots were flying off the blade, no matter if I shot off from heel to toe, or did the 'pull in, push out' kind of shot I'd expect to have to use with my P46. Snapshots off the heel were good too. Too bad the NXG is a junior, the shaft dimensions and height were too small for me. Might need to look for it in an intermediate closeout...

I'm eagerly awaiting that...my first production estimate got pushed back in the latest delay to Jul-Sept, which probably puts it far enough back that I'll be tempted to wait to see if dual motor configs open up for me early enough for the full credit. Fingers crossed they somehow don't hit 200k US deliveries until July 1st or later! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EJB 488 Report post Posted March 5, 2018 Winter season ended tonight for the D3 team, tough two and out. Still D4 going. But why “Sweet Spot”, Summer season coming and shorts and flip flops in the locker room ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MThockeydad 469 Report post Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) Finally met EJB in person. This past weekend in Idaho Falls, his daughter's team played the 14U select team I help coach. His kid has a WICKED shot for a 12 year-old! I can see why she was the high scorer for the league. 2 games; his daughter's team won the first 7-2 and she frequently dangled our D. I think she had 3 goals and 2 assists. 2nd game, the MT girls won 4-2. I think they shut EJBjr down to 1 goal--they had to close the gap, put a body on her, force her outside, and shut down her dangles. Sorry EJB, it had to be done!

badger_14 601 Report post Posted March 24, 2018 I spent the past two weeks utterly frantic that I would go to ride time (part of paramedic school - riding 3rd as a student medic on an ambulance) and completely fall apart and end up with nothing to show for it. Well, Wednesday was my first day, and our very first call was to meet up with a FD ambulance for a heart attack patient. We had to do everything on the move (literally: moving ambulance), including starting an IV, giving meds, and getting an EKG. Hell of a way to start off, but I did well according to my preceptor, and I feel a whole lot better about things now. Even having to get up at 4:30 in the morning seems worth it. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IPv6Freely 2093 Report post Posted April 2, 2018 Made every goalies dream save last night. Guy coming down the right side, fires a pass over to my left. He blasts a one-timer at the net. My right to left is a bit weak so I really had to stretch... full extension... snagged the puck just inside the post pretty much right on the goal line. Pretty much felt just like this: 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bwhockey17 12 Report post Posted May 3, 2018 (edited) Went to Game 5 of the Leafs vs. Bruins the other week fully expecting to watch the game at Maple Leafs Square (the outdoor tailgate party hosted by the Leafs/Canadian Tire). Ended up getting there REALLY early (it was after my FINAL ever undergrad exam) and decided to spin the wheel on a whim because I didn't have any blue on (and there was a blue t-shirt prize). Was hoping for either the shirt or the hat, ended up landing on the golden tickets... Got to see my first ever live playoff game and we won to force Game 6! I wasn't even gonna go because most of my friends who were supposed to come had flopped! Only thing that could've made that day better was being able to go to the game with either of my parents or my sister (who wouldn't have gotten there on time) or my other Leafs-obsessed buddy.

badger_14 601 Report post Posted May 13, 2018 I take horseback riding lessons, and on Friday my horse and I finally achieved this particularly tricky move (called a sidepass - imagine a horse doing crossovers on a line without going forward - its origins are in cavalry exercises) together, and we did it well, and even if it was just a few steps we really did it. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My long term goal is 180 or so after exchanging fat for muscle once I’m off my current diet and can work out again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamarquan 201 Report post Posted May 20, 2018 Forget what I said in the Venting Spot, my other boat came in third against much better competition (we had to race 4 novices in our third varsity 8 against the largest crew in the country,) and our boathouse won the overall trophy! We're sending a lot of boats to Nationals and things are looking better for next season. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
