Scythe

I heard on the radio the other day that our bodies center of gravity changes with age. What does that mean exactly? and how does it happen?

That looks painful.

it was painful while doing the slow glide to the corner hunched over on the knees  i think we all can relate. After the sting wore off it was ok.

Ice ice baby.

Ice is our friend for sure. Worked wonders with this.

Snapped the cap off a tooth once... opening my water bottle with my teeth. Skated over to the bench and handed it to one of my players to weird him out. Obviously I play up the story a lot more when I tell other people.

Other than that, just the usual twangs and pains - usually in the hip area and feeling it in the knee. Did really pull my groin when I was starting out by jumping out and taking shots before properly stretching, which was pretty brutal. Thank fully no problems with hits to the head - got one right between the eyes that dented my cage and had a player kick my cage once while falling down, but no incident from either other than having to replace an annoyingly expensive piece of gear.

funny story thanks for sharing and that dent is brutal! 

I'll tell you guys, we hear a blocker is a blocker is a blocker a lot but take a good one to the fingers and that all goes out the window. Granted it was a weird shot that seemed like it curved just a little to the right if that's possible and found a hole  maybe my luck ran out. 

Tonight, I had a one timer direct hit to the thumb of my blocker. It happened so fast. Was afraid of what I might find inside but nothing too bad. Lots of blood but after we taped it up it stopped. Sore and swollen now with thumbnail turning black. I was wearing the CCM E3.5 blocker  maybe time for an upgrade. 

I don't mean to sound off like a dick or anything it's just frustrating. I echo what Matt said, I love it when they do try to help. When defense is played well it's a thing of beauty to watch. 

Is there a reasonable way to tell your D men to stop screening and redirecting shots into the net?

I was really thinking about giving them my gloves and stick ... "here, you play goalie!" 

Does anyone not spray their stuff with anything for whatever reason? 

That Blues gear in earlier post looks too street hockey like and I had a pair of McLean goalie pants for awhile when I was about 4 waist sizes McLeaner. I remember there not being much to them.

Padding in them was pretty sparse. A pair of CCM 1.9 pants blows those out of the water as far as padding goes. 

Drew Doughty should go up, imo.  

Conner McDavid.  At least for his skating if not for his game. 

I write and bat left. Kick and throw right, catch left.

But the most important thing is I can cut steak with my left hand and eat it with my right 

Fluidly. 

The shop I go to has you make an appointment for sharpening. I bring beer too. 

A couple of Icehouse. That's what it's worth.  

The whole position of goalie has gotten very exhausting . Losing interest in it. 

I kind of agree with it being old now. Whether it's a WC or just an outdoor game like the one played in Lake Tahoe. What was that all about? 

And yes, all the made up uniforms turns it into some kind of fashion show.

mans got scammed it is a older 960

Are you saying it's a 960 but,  just an older 960? Looks like the seller lied to me. Too bad the mask maker doesn't inscribe into the shell what it is. The sticker method is stupid.

Pretty sure that's the RXS Goalie Mask - https://www.rxs-goaliemasks.ch/de/
The ear vents are distinctive.

Thanks. I've never seen one before.  

What kind of mask is this? Switzerland's Saskia Maurer wears it.

Is stuff like this cut resistant or cut proof?. Is 100% cut proof even possible? 

A few years ago I [along with a handful of other people] got pics and autographs from Henrik outside MSG before the game.

He drove something that looked like a Lamborghini or some other kind of super car. 

 I'm starting a Zamboni drivers union if some of those rink schedules are legit. 

the at home test kit my wife used here made her get online and face time with an at home test kit rep. It took a while to complete the whole thing. 

Well the story is I was using a hand saw in my right hand while holding the Christmas tree with my left. I was standing and had the teeth of the saw pointed towards my left hand. The saw jumped out of the tree into my finger . 

I just wanted the trunk of the tree for the fireplace. The pine gives off subtle cracks and pops that's kind of nice to hear. I wouldn't recommend putting the branches into the fireplace. When they ignite they really go up fast. 

Thanks. 

Hey guys thank you,  really appreciate all the replies. In my mind it seems like kind of a wussy thing to ask about but man the slightest touch to the cut is like touching a raw nerve. I don't think I I'll be playing for a bit. Thanks. 

Always think about or remember safety. Be conscious of what you're doing working with your hands. 

Well it's not that deep but it's cut pretty good.  They gave me no stitches or glue just some antibiotics and a tetanus shot. 

The thing is it's the index finger on my catch hand. Trying to decide whether I should sit out for awhile or not. 

The weirdest glove I ever had was when I bought a used Brian's Air Hook. Had a big lump on the palm and would not close. It was useless and I was mad for wasting money on it.
