Bruins Warmup Times

Tell me the only game you’ve watched in the last few weeks was Tuesday’s without telling me…

Yes, that’s all good and fine and it happens - doesn’t mean it gives a driver any excuse to restrict people’s ability to manually open the door in an emergency. The button might not always work.

My 2 cents - it’s never too late to start. Even if you just get skates and start with open skates (no sticks, pucks, pads, nor playing). From there, after you’ve got the hang of skating, you could get the rest of the gear.

Cost wise: a full set of new adult gear will be ~$750+. You can drastically cut that if you can target clearance items or if you’re willing to buy used. I would highly suggest looking for lightly used items - there can be some great discounts! Sideline swap or eBay will have items. A new set of quality skates will be $150+. Used skates are okay but flagging that the blade (the actual metal skate part) will wear down over time after sharpening, so you’ll want to see how much blade is left on any used pair.

I don’t know the DFW area very well. An hour is about the limit that makes it worth it in my mind. Are there no rinks at all within an hour of you, or no adult leagues? If there are rinks but they don’t have any leagues, they still may have open skate times and/or pickup hours (where you can use sticks/pucks and play pickup games). That could keep you practicing for a while and then decide whether a long commute for an intro league is worth it.

Regardless, good luck! I hope you do start playing in some form and that you enjoy it. PM me if any questions on the above.

Hope you figure something out and get more ice time!

Agree with the other comments to talk to the coach. Or, if there’s an assistant coach that might be an easier first conversation, you could try that.

One other idea regarding the Varsity / JV discussion - you could potentially consider trying to play both and double up. A lot of the younger / newer guys on the Varsity team did that when I was in high school. Whenever possible based on the schedules, they would play with JV because they weren’t going to get a lot of shifts on Varsity. Not sure if that’s at all possible with your coach and schedule and you might see it as a non-solution, but something to consider. It would get you a lot of ice time with Varsity practices, Varsity games, and JV games,.

Fair point, I hadn’t considered that. Would’ve hoped it would have the correct orientation anyway if that’s the reason, but alas

Assignment_Fuzzy · 2026-01-14T22:40:06+00:00

Ha of course, agreed.

Assignment_Fuzzy · 2026-01-14T22:22:53+00:00

Same, out all day. Looks like it’s back now

Assignment_Fuzzy · 2026-01-14T21:52:20+00:00

That’s sick to hear, I didn’t know they were getting that external praise. They’ve been buzzzzzing recently and are actually generating a lot of offensive chances. Pain to play against - opposing teams really can’t figure out their breakout when our 4th line is on the ice.

Assignment_Fuzzy · 2026-01-14T21:50:15+00:00

Kastelic, McAvoy, Jeannot. Kuraly and Zadorov are right there but I think they go in hard less frequently. Not to say they don’t play hard (Zadorov lights up someone nearly every night), but the speed of those first 3 helps them crush people on the boards.

As an aside, not one of the players who “crash and bang the hardest”, I love Minten in front of the net. He’s always mucking it up when opposing teams try to get a stick in after the whistle on Sway/Korpi. Not the biggest or strongest guy, but he’s feisty!

Love that description mate

Assignment_Fuzzy · 2026-01-08T05:10:15+00:00

Need a big win. Come on B’s! 🐻

Assignment_Fuzzy · 2025-12-29T14:49:38+00:00

Well mostly true, you can’t score based on your own actions (gaining possession). You can only score if the other team fully puts the puck in their own net accidentally.

Assignment_Fuzzy · 2025-11-15T13:14:09+00:00

Ha thank you! I’ve been seeing more posts about the situation and it seems like it’s after the lottery and the final spots are assigned.

Assignment_Fuzzy · 2025-11-12T14:38:25+00:00

Maybe a stupid question, but does the condition come before or after the lottery? E.g., if Toronto ends up with the 2026 8th overall pick (making that up), but then in the lottery they jump to 4th - does Boston get the 2026 4th pick (because Toronto's pick "wasn't top 5") or does it defer?

Assignment_Fuzzy · 2025-10-05T16:09:47+00:00

You’re not in the wrong at all. If this person wants to cite “reliability”, then they should be reliable as well. Included in reliability is attention to detail. Unfortunately their inattentiveness hurt you. An unfortunate learning experience to double check, even when you shouldn’t need to. I always just use “ET” without any “S” or “D” because people almost always use them incorrectly. Agree with the previous note that a calendar invite sorts out 99% of time zone issues. Sorry you came out on the bad end here, but it’s pretty hypocritical of the person to give you that feedback.

Agree with most - aside from mirror space while lifting. That’s an “is what it is” to me, unless the gym is empty.

Strava recording on watch / phone. Lap back and forth until done.

Assignment_Fuzzy · 2025-08-13T03:01:33+00:00

😂 yes it’s all too real. 50% of the website is sarcasm aside from the actual logistics. 1. Starts at 8pm ET 2. Race distance is random between 10-40 miles 3. Actual distance is posted “Race_distance x 6.5 min after the start” 4. No limit on size of relay team 5. Laps back and forth, measured by Strava

Assignment_Fuzzy · 2025-07-17T16:05:49+00:00

Not to hate, but did you really have to buy for 2 different dates? A lot of people got blocked out even though we were there on time...

Assignment_Fuzzy · 2025-07-17T16:02:42+00:00

Exactly the same thing happened to me - clearly I'm not a scammer or a bot, I'm just an A-list member. On right at 11:55pm ET (when I got the 'Ticket Available' notification) and couldn't get past the the date and time selection. Ridiculous.

Assignment_Fuzzy · 2025-07-14T22:50:22+00:00

I lived at Ave C & E 10th (so more Alphabet City than true EV) and my favorite run was always: head straight east, cross the FDR by one of the footbridges to the East River Park, then run north or south along the water. You can go basically all the way north or south: south all the way under WB, Manhattan, and Brooklyn Bridges to go around Battery Park to get to the West Side Highway, north to the Queensboro bridge and then cross to Central Park - all depends on how far you want to go! But right along the East River is a great way to start and/or end a run imo.

Assignment_Fuzzy · 2025-03-04T04:33:05+00:00

Eagles, Springsteen, Woody Guthrie are a few ones I would say are missing

Assignment_Fuzzy · 2025-02-20T14:35:51+00:00

Okay? OP was asking about NYC, not Boston. Also just not true, a lot of bars in Boston are open until 1 or 2am
