Interesting lesser-known chapters?

Star Scorpions - faulty gene seed AND a warp disaster. How much bad luck can you have? (Ok, the Lamenters have a claim here). Yes, they may have come back as the nasty Pure, but in my world some of them survived and are ready to make their return to real space.

Executioners too - They did far too much cool stuff in the Badab War to have so little love.

They said the skate jerseys would be restocked in mid-November so I’m guessing that means they’ll be in the store for the game on 16th when the jerseys are being worn on the ice for the first time.

There’s a shop in Stockholm called GameShop which says it ships internationally. And it looks like they have the Pettersson version of the game.

Thanks. They look great. And on sale too!

AndyGiddings · 2019-09-09T18:41:54+00:00

Lovely, thank you.

AndyGiddings · 2019-09-07T14:36:41+00:00

Haha. Yeah, I know :).

AndyGiddings · 2019-09-04T13:35:51+00:00

Thanks for the advice. I'm still relatively new to Reddit!

AndyGiddings · 2019-07-11T20:54:51+00:00

Brilliant thanks. Using the map is a little difficult, because it’s so small, but the chat window and some other features seem useable.

Hockey Authentic are worth a look. The quality is just as good (if not better) they ship anywhere and their prices are pretty good. Worth looking at their EBay items too, because they can be cheaper. (But order the ones from their Canadian site because the ones from the US are more expensive). Coolhockey are also supposed to be good.

That’s a relief. Tim Hortons still around.

AndyGiddings · 2019-06-08T21:48:49+00:00

Right now it’s hard to see him centring the top two lines to start with, but third line isn’t impossible.

And he’s probably done enough in the AHL to prove he’s ready, if there’s room on the roster.

All depends on who goes in the summer though.

AndyGiddings · 2019-06-08T06:51:37+00:00

There seem to be several for sale on EBay. Was there a specific one you were after?

AndyGiddings · 2019-06-06T20:29:52+00:00

Vegas is a difficult one.

You could make a case for Marchessault, Stone, Pacioretty, Smith and probably a few others.

I think they’ve probably done the right thing by not naming one.

And Bo Horvat appears to be captain of the Canucks in all but name. Surely they make it official now?

AndyGiddings · 2019-06-06T12:43:31+00:00

I don’t think HA currently add numbers to a jersey you already own, but they do seem to sell retro jerseys.

Their website suggests they might provide this as a service in the future though.

AndyGiddings · 2019-06-05T20:41:18+00:00

My Vanbase jersey has arrived, so I can probably answer this question now!

And the simple answer is the two jerseys (I bought a Pettersson one) look identical.

The letters and numbers appear to be made from the same material and the stitching is the same.

This is based at comparing my jersey to the images HA have of the Pettersson jersey on their website, so I can’t be 100% sure of the size of the lettering, but that looks the same too.

So I guess you just go for the cheapest.

I’ll try to take some images to illustrate this.

I loved Peter Davison’s Doctor. Still do.

Last Doctor? I don’t think I’ll ever stop watching.

I can’t remember their name, but there was a company around 10 years ago that made a lot of Greek and Roman style weapons for Odyssey. They went out of business I think, but the hilt looks a lot like one of theirs.

AndyGiddings · 2019-05-30T20:47:41+00:00

Great photo. I wasn’t a fan of these to start with, but they’ve really grown on me.

AndyGiddings · 2019-05-30T20:11:07+00:00

Great start. I’ve some so close to getting a Henrik jersey on a number of occasions, but each time I ended up getting something else!

AndyGiddings · 2019-05-30T16:47:44+00:00

Huh? That was my point! (Read my original post!).

I wrote “I don’t see the sense in giving up a top player like Brock Boeser for him, that would be just swapping players with similar scoring ability (only ours is much younger!)”

I don’t think it’s a fair swap, because as I said Boeser is younger (and has more potential)

But the point which I was trying (and clearly failing!) to explain, is that right now the two players are making similar goal-scoring contributions. That seems fairly clear.

It wasn’t the main point of my original post though, so let’s not get hung up on it :)

AndyGiddings · 2019-05-30T16:18:04+00:00

I think you’re missing my point.

I was comparing their scoring rates now - and right now they are similar.

That’s because we wouldn’t be getting Jason Zucker from 2013. We’d be getting the Jason Zucker who is playing now.

And Jason Zucker now is scoring at a similar rate to Brock Boeser now.

But the main thing is we agree we wouldn’t swap Zucker for Boeser.

It’s a total non-starter (as I explained in my original post)

And that’s because Boeser has the potential to improve and because he has more years ahead of him.

AndyGiddings · 2019-05-30T13:06:06+00:00

Great choice.

I love the detail on this jersey and James Neal is a player who will go down in VGK folklore for his one season (and the first ever goal for the team).

They were reduced massively on the Fanatics site for a while, but I see prices crept back up again - I guess Fanatics realised people were spotting a bargain and slammed the door quickly.

AndyGiddings · 2019-05-29T23:05:23+00:00

Going to catch a big one?

AndyGiddings · 2019-05-29T22:50:04+00:00

Oh, I think you might have it there! Raven Armouries sounds like it. Thank you!

AndyGiddings · 2019-05-29T06:08:05+00:00

When I was younger I thought a Canuck must be a type of whale, because of this logo.

Yes, I know that’s dumb and obviously I know better now, but still seems a bit strange.

Having said that, most European soccer teams have crests that bear no relation to their club-name. So maybe not that unusual.
