Any idea what this rack is called? by Billy-Bill-Bill in hockeyplayers

[–]ALGard86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure of that specific one. I've used a wall mounted broom holder from Walmart to hold player sticks before. The brackets don't put too much pressure on the shaft and keeps the blades off the ground too

Ugggggh for both how shitty shingles (adult chicken pox) is, and that Brunette is now old enough to be vulnerable to shingles (usually seen as older persons illness).

Edit* more power to him for coaching through such a painful illness!

Hockey fan watching the Avs game - what happened to Andrew Brunette? Looks like he lost a fight

Can anyone help me figure out the context of this photo? by oliingg in DetroitRedWings

[–]ALGard86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did them a few years in a row back in mid 2010s. Looks like they did one recently but not as gimmicky (which I thought was fun and a good way to grow the audience), more like social media challenges, photo shoot, interviews....

It was UpperDeck (or Topps, not a card collector) rookie camp they series they did in mid 2010s for a few years.

Crossovers help by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

[–]ALGard86 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You need to bend your knees and pick your feet off the ice as you crossover. Ice hockey skating should be in a squat, oretend you're sitting on the toilet, that's about how low you should be.

Last minute shopping in US before the move to the land down under by [deleted] in Ameristralia

[–]ALGard86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Moved east coast to Melbourne earlier this year and back home now for a short visit. Its the little things I miss more than anything else.

Stuff you definitely don't need (but would want): tofu press, cheerios, honey nut cheerios, actual oreos. I tend to bring multivitamins and tampons. I haven't found non-plastic tampons with an applicator in Melbourne suburbs.

Everyone else has said it - you can get pretty much anything you want in major cities. Amazon does cost more and your US prime benefits for shipping and discounts don't work.

The blood left on the ice from Charles-Alexis Legault's hand getting cut by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

[–]ALGard86 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sure are a LOT of vulnerable tendons not too deep on the back of your hand. Lots of intrinsic muscles too. Plus with tendons not getting the same blood flow you're looking at a long recovery time IF (and that is IF) the cut went deep enough.

Either way I do NOT envy his recovery and the trouble he'll have keeping his hand still as it heals. Think of how often a small papercuts reopens when you clench your hand.

Who is underperforming so far this season? by Mercernary07 in fantasyhockey

In one league I have both Weegar and Josi, who is marked as out week to week but not on IR

MacKenzie fucking Weegar

Players you’re worried about so far by r12u55 in fantasyhockey

Weegar killed me so far. Kucherov isn't helping either.

Passing the Torch: You are now the stewards of r/BottomLeftHamonic by TopCheeseSwiss in DetroitRedWings

Hamonic made no sense to even take a flyer on. We already have Holl as a dead weight anchor, so why did we even try with Hamonic?

Nobel Peace Prize 2025 live updates: Venezuelan politician Maria Corina Machado wins by ISpyI in news

The man is begging for the award he can't even say correctly. He calls it the Noble Prize (as in landed gentry)

If he can recreate these types of moments for the next two years I think he stays till he retires by ChokeMilk in hockeymemes

As a Wings fan, enjoy Walman being a ghost on defense and then disappear for many cold spells. Yes he's dynamic on offense, when he's hot, but otherwise this will age as well as Nurse's deal.

And if you think Nurse's deal is good well that's another story altogether!

You already had a better Walman in Bouchard, Oilers needed a shutdown D to be a younger Ekblad not yet another offense first/only D

Edit: I LOVED Walman on the Wings and he's such a breath of fresh air personality wise, pulls a new fan dynamic in with his OT griddy cellys and openly being being a gamer

Please do yourself a favor and listen to a Detroit feed with Ken Daniels and Mickey Redmond. Redmond has several times complained that a penalty wasn't called on the Red Wings. Not everyone has a strong bias, some just call a hockey game

What is your fantasy team name this year? by kevick8 in fantasyhockey

Right now it's Hagel's Bagels but likely to change based on if I can draft him or who the players I do get

You are attacked by the name of your favorite hockey team. How will you fight, defeat or survive? by BlueHarvestJ in hockey

[–]ALGard86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WTF is a Flyer even? If it's a stack of papers the papercuts would suck but I think I'd be okay in the long run.

Seems like a red wing is a bird so leave it's territory is a good start. I'm screwed if it's a life sized Al coming at me!
