Thunderdome UK Edition!

We got an e-mail from our leauge director last night that, from now on, 3 roughing/ cross-checking/ unsportsman-like etc. penalties would result in a 1 game suspension. She also added something about how no one, not even beer league refs, deserve to be talked to that way. So something must have happened at one of the other games!  Also in mouthguard chat, I use Under Armour ArmourShields. I got one for like  at a Marshall's or something one time. I like them because they're slanted I think, so they lock onto your upper teeth/roof of your mouth. I tried using a regular mouthguard one time when I couldn't find the UA one, it sucked. Like a big block of rubber in your mouth. I probably wouldn't pay the full $30 retail, but if I saw another on sale I'd buy it as a backup.

Just got my SISU guard. Fits really nicely and came in time to try it out tomorrow during pick up before game time on Sunday. The Amazon reviews were pretty great, it's wasn't that hard to fit and form but apparently it is to most Amazon reviewers.

Took me three tries, first time the sides ended up not covering my teeth near the back, second time I overcompensated and ran the gaurd up into my gums, third time I got it close enough to be okay with it.

We're starting to fix it. In the name of anti-counterfeiting a lot of our bills now have colors on them. Wrong reasons, good result. I guess. As a born and bred American I've never had issue with it. But in the interests of making life easier for everyone else in the world I see no reason to cling to tradition, but a lot of us yanks get really loving crabby about it.

I had a 930 game down in Kent Valley last night. I was so happy to play in a rink that actually felt cold compared to comcast up in everett. In the first shift, one of their skaters came up through the neutral zone and shot the puck towards the goalie from between the blue and red lines ... and it went in. I think the goalie was standing up and not prepared for anything yet. Thats when I knew it would probably be a lovely game ... and it was. We couldn't connect our passes and played horribly compared to normal. The other team wasn't particularly good and didn't have any standout players but they were decent at cycling the puck which really broke down our defense. We got shut out 6-0 and nobody felt good about losing to a team that we could beat any day of the week, just not last night. We play at Showare center next game which is something like 2 weeks away

Well, on the plus side, your boxscore says you guys only lost 0-5  I'm fully expecting to get wrecked this weekend as the team we're playing has good passing AND our best defenseman/skater/overall player is gonna be out of town. Yeeeeeeeeesh. ed: and also against the best goalie in our division ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff edit edit: Looks like we're playing an upper division team in two weeks after that... In the same div as you, Tank44 - I wonder if we'll end up playing you sometime this season? That'd be pretty rad (you guys will wreck us hah) Duke Chin fucked around with this message at 02:50 on Nov 20, 2015 |

Some kind soul decided to rent out the sports arena the ENTIRE WEEK OF CHRISTMAS for scrimmage games. We're also kicking off our informal winter league Saturday morning at 8:30AM. I guess that's one benefit of having an ECHL team local to me...

Sharks Ice finally deigned to post a few more weeks of schedule and it turns out I only have TWO GAMES in the entire month of December. And the second one is 2 days before Christmas so I'll surely be on the wrong coast to play it.  I'd just like to play roughly once a week without having to play in the hellhole of Vallco or the filthy swamp of Belmont, is that so wrong?

It's because there's two huge tournaments between now and year end and lots of Jr. Sharks teams need ice.

There are a couple of good pickups around. My real dream situation would be if Redwood City operated their Saturday night league on a punch card system like a CrossFit gym instead of having to sign up for a whole season and then missing half the games/risking divorce. Policing the level of play would be harder but it would probably help with inadequate turn out.

Don't ignore those squats and deadlifts boys and girls. I'd been neglecting the gym this year because I make poor life decisions but wife and I made a commitment to fix things last month and it started showing benefits today. Crank up my new afterburners on a backcheck, lift a dude's stick, steal his puck and send it back to one of my boys. Feels good man.

First shift in a game where we were super short benched and had just 3 players for the D line(s) tonight and I took a slew foot from one of their players. Can confirm: those do not feel good.

Anyone know if the cage for a Bauer 4500 will fit a 2100? I slammed my head pretty hard on the ice today, I'm thinking it's time to replace my 2 year old helmet, especially with Black Friday deals coming up. I know it's a "downgrade", but in that university study the 2100 did best for Bauer at concussion prevention.

Cages **should** be universal. Especially Bauer to Bauer, sometimes you'll have to get different hangars to screw into a different helmet.

Sorry you're right it was my Easton helmet trying to use the Bauer cage that was a pain in the rear end. I didn't try the other way around.

^^^^ - "The perfect gift for those friends of yours that have no friends." :v Hey cool Duke's First Jerseys finally came in I guess I made the team   Also, yeah, you folks weren't kidding about the Athletic Knit stuff running a little small. After looking at their sizing chart and comparing it with others that I already had it seemed like a medium should have fit just fine, and it does. It just doesn't want to pull down over my breezers / the lumbar pad very well.  ahh well it's still fun and cool getting new junk.
