So true. Different league now though. How many guys were over 30 in 1991 versus how many guys today? I'd bet that there was a significant drop since 1991. Most teams almost completely turn over in 5 seasons today. New teams just starting with draft picks are only a few seasons behind now. Sprinkle in some guys with a few years of pro experience and you can catch up almost instantly now (Knights). Not true in 1991. Sharks were a decade behind. Took them over a decade to win their division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took them over a decade to win their division. I felt downright sorry for the san jose fans and wondered if the team was gonna survive. Crappy teams dont bring in dollars and you need dollars to run a pro team. I got high hopes as long as they dont steal jake allen from my blues lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scythe Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Seagoal I'm happy for you and jealous too. So cool to be getting a team and everything else that goes with it.. i was down here for every Thrasher season except for the 1st. Use to love watching on tv WUPA 69 just as much as attending in person. Maybe a little more.. more intimate. And going to free practices was really cool. Milan Hnilicka , Damion Rhodes and Norm Maracle were the first goalies i watched then came so many others Kari Lehtonen and Johan Hedberg were the longest staying duo. Its heartbreaking when a team moves away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its heartbreaking when a team moves away. Thanks man, it's wonderful. I feel for you losing a team, for sure. I'm from the South originally so I got to see a lot of Atlanta games and I was a huge fan of Kari Lehtonen. I think he was the one who turned me on to Finnish goalies and to this day many of my favorite goalies are Finns. Although I didn't own any, the V3 graphic was pretty controversial BUT I think Lehtonen had a beautiful V3 setup. I loved this set, too And, I posted this on here recently on a thread about unusual pics but this is one of my all-time favorite goalie pics I was a big fan of Pavelec, too. More sick V3s I'll never forget watching this live, too. Terrifying Anyway, I have fond memories of Atlanta goaltending. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTH Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 My kids' rink just won the 'Golden Trowel Award'. It's the "The most sought-after award in horizontal concrete". As a civil engineer, videos of concrete laying are appreciated. Thanks for the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny story: they live here in town. There's a wildly famous acoustic instrument shop here in the city called Dusty Strings. Eddie Vedder bought his mandolin there that he used for Into the Wild. I was in there playing this insanely expensive (either $6k or $8k, can't remember) mandolin one weekend and fell in love with it. 2 weekends later I went in and it was gone. I asked the mandolin guy what happened to it and he told me "Eddie Vedder bought it, he has a new gig where he needed one." Anyway, that's the closest I've come to him: I played his mandolin. Not me here....but this is the mandolin 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How cool would it have been if he walked in while you were playing it and told you to hand it over so he can buy it lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike24 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 (edited) Stories I’ve heard he woulda been cool as hell about it But I can’t think of a Better Man to take the mandolin. Edited April 25, 2021 by Mike24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How cool would it have been if he walked in while you were playing it and told you to hand it over so he can buy it lol. Word is he's the nicest, sweetest guy ever and he does a lot for local art and music. Maybe had your story happened he woulda asked me if I'm buying it and then when I choked and said " ugh, no Eddie, I can't afford this mandolin" he woulda bought it for me . Or maybe he woulda said "well I can kid, hand it over." Who knows. Also funny....I ended up buying a much less expensive mandolin, played in a bluegrass band and kept it for a few years. But, after taking stock of my possessions and realizing I needed new goalie gear, I sold and so I could buy my V6 set. It all came full circle, see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
