Montreal is hopefully just writing a dramatic comeback story.

That happens in the shower though, right?

Your shower group plays hockey?

Absolutely it worked out well, I was wrong. Given the same situation, I'd still have made the decision to go back to Fleury, but I suppose DeBoer knows way better than I do!

I think it's a horrible decision. I very much agree with your points.

I didn't notice anything catching on the pad when I put them on, but along with the instructions there was a disclaimer that depending on what pad you're using there may be some rubbing, with which you might want to cover with some tape.

When I wanted to take my Miata to hockey all it took was 4 bolts to make it a single seater, plenty of room for a bag when you take out the passenger seat.

I too cut up some leftover parts of a Simmons beef up kit to try this out. They feel good wearing the pads with them on carpet. I'm too lazy to sew them up, so I just have the nylon glued to the foams inside.

One skate done, it's really simple to install, all you need is a flat screwdriver. Wearing it around the house it feels secure, but time will tell how it works on the ice. It did take a little adjustment to get the straps to the correct tightness. I don't want to use a thread locker on the hardware in the event I have to remove it, so I imagine I'll have to check them every couple of skates to make sure nothing falls off. The ease and swiftness with which a skate can be put on is nice, that combined with not having leather straps these days on pads will make it super easy to get ready with the time constraints we're under with covid restrictions.

So, I got these in the mail a little while ago. Very slow on the postal service's part, international shipping and whatnot, but I'm not playing right now anyways due to public health orders, so it wasn't a big deal. I'm just in the process now of installing them, it looks like everything is in order as far as the parts go and I'm ready to go dad mode on my skates.

For the Corvette, it was usually a plastic gear that wore out but you could get an aftermarket replacement in metal.

Wasn't there a group in Washington (not sure if the state or DC) that was doing "Joints for Jabs" or something? Get a vaccine, get some free weed.

That's actually not entirely correct. If crossing at a land border, as long as someone has a suitable quarantine plan (basically a residence without at risk people) you can do your 2 weeks at home. Quarantine hotel is for air arrivals and it's only the first few days.

Saskatchewan of all places has a roadmap towards reopening phases.

Yep. Got to play the night before things shut down again and cherished every minute of it, just like the first and second time we shut down here. I wouldn't get your hopes up about coming up for fishing anytime soon. I can't wait to get to go down to the States for some Chick-Fil-A!

Back to hockey being shut down as of this coming Sunday. The few weeks of getting to play was nice at least.

I don't think I removed any, it's not a hindrance to me in any way to have the added protection. No experiences that particularly stand out. Haven't recalled any stingers to the arms in recent times.

I've got the same or similar Vaughn shirt and have been using it for a couple years, love it.

Thanks everybody. First 3 on 3 game of the season tonight, I've been taking it easy all day knowing that I'm gonna need the energy.

@Mike24 is that a WS6?

FD RX7, best looking car of the 90s.

Yeah, I'm a sucker for pop-up headlights which is why I love the C5 Corvette. If I get one again in the future, it's very likely that it would be another C5.

Previously I had a 99 Corvette, with it having a hatch, it was actually easier to get the gear in than my current, more family friendly car. Vipers are definitely cooler though.

I'll be playing in a bit of a 3 on 3 league (cross ice games) this spring and summer, provided there's not a 3rd provincial shutdown affecting hockey, and I'm looking for advice basically on what adjustments others have made when playing 3 on 3. Obviously I've played some 3 on 3 in practice or just ice rentals, but never in a manner as competitive as an organized league. Any discussion about 3 on 3 is welcome!

My team for 3 on 3 spring/summer hockey is the Purple Cobras, so I added some accents to my gear.
