They took over half the goalie side of the shop and turned it into skater gear. It could be deceptive, but it doesn't look like it led to an increase in skater inventory, just spread it out and made more room for manufacturer's displays No, this was years ago. Maybe back in 2014 or 2015. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ha, I am pretty sure my buddy played in this league when he was living out in Cali, he said it was one of the main reasons he wanted to move back east. That's just too bad, whats the point if you know that team is going to smoke you, not fun. Sorry dude. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You basically just hope in every 5th week that nobody gets injured and they don't start any fights. Unfortunately that last one is tough with some of the players they have. The league leading scorer on their team is the guy who was kicked out of the game the last time we played with them for homophobic slurs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although, in your situation the people that run the league have the option to move the dominant teams up (from the sounds of it). This is a small local rink, one adult league, no skill tiers... makes for some not-so-much-fun nights. Edited January 29, 2019 by JoeyJ0506 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
psulion22 402 Report post Posted January 30, 2019 Crappy sellers, and Sideline Swap in general. I bought a used Bauer 1X tower bag on SLS for a pretty good price. After a few days, I got a message saying that the shipping label provided by SLS didn't cover the cost when he went to drop it off. We worked with SLS to have the label reissued to based on the dimensions of the box. A few more days, and the seller says the box came back because it still wasn't enough. Since it didn't ship within 14 days or something, the sale was cancelled and I was refunded my money. That's a good thing, so at least I'm not out the money and having to file a dispute to be resolved. The seller contacted me and apologized profusely for the delay and thanked me for my patience. He offered to ship the bag on his own dime, via UPS which gave him a better price, if I just covered the shipping via Paypal when the bag arrived. I told him that was fine, and I'd even send him the agreed upon amount from SLS. That was 2 weeks ago. The bag hasn't shipped. He hasn't replied to my messages. I guess I'm not getting it. It's not a huge deal since I'm not out any money. But it's disappointing because that bag is frickin' expensive and I can't justify spending that. This was a way for me to get the bag at the price of a regular one. It sucks because the guy didn't honor the deal that he offered himself. And Sideline Swap sucks in general because they require package dimensions prior to listing. So if a seller doesn't list them accurately, the estimated shipping cost won't cover the postage. In this case, the seller nor SLS was accounting for the dimensional weight of the item. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We'd like to keep just the texting part?" Mark 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I realize what it is referring to, but it is a pet peeve, nothing major. I would just use the term excess space. I remember being "corrected" by other engineers for using the term negative pressure once, that is what brought it up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
