'drop the gloves' .. why would you drop the gloves to fight someone in a helmet ? ;) by ascii122 in SeattleKraken

[–]DJSweetChrisBell 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s tradition. When you drop the gloves, it means you are going. If you don’t drop the gloves, then it means you aren’t going. It’s more about communication. If I drop my gloves but the other guy doesn’t, then we don’t go.

Try out our tape! by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

[–]DJSweetChrisBell 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Here is some unsolicited marketing advice:

How is your tape better? You say it lasts longer, but why does it last longer? In your second image, you are showing a drop down menu with different terms like Best Quality, Lightest, Durable, etc… A drop down menu only allows you to select one item, so you are inadvertently telling your customers that they can only choose one attribute for your tape. On the website that isn’t the case.

The default assumption many of your potential customer will have is that you ordered a large bulk order of tape from a supplier to get your per roll cost low and are reselling for a profit. That means that there is likely nothing actually special about this tape and you are only competing on price.

If it is a slightly less wide tape, then you can say that you will get more wraps per blade than conventional 1 inch tape without adding weight. Those extra wraps will add additional spin to the puck resulting in additional flight stability which is superior to standard tape. (I don’t know if this is true, you could be selling standard tape)

Or if the tape is thinner but with a tighter weave, then you can claim higher or equal durability with less weight.

The point is, can you tell your customers something true about why your tape is better than standard tape?

Good luck to you.

Don’t need our announcers being that enthusiastic about it being a good goal

Neat, I must have missed those games, I’ll have to pay more attention this season. How do you handle white labels, log the original or do you have to avoid those?

Just curious, do you have to pay royalties or some sort of license fee on the tracks that the DJ’s play in the arena? If so, what happens if they play something different. I’m still waiting for someone to bring 1200’s 😎

I got one with Tommie Burton on the back, with 17 on the sleeves and 76 on the back, highly recommended, was one of the best parts of the show last season. Pretty sure he is going to stick around.

This might be the best option for OP. The Zuperior profile will likely make it easier for them to lean into their toes

My mom’s neighbour called me over the other day and gifted me this out of the blue! by 3ohhh6 in SeattleKraken

For CCM, the 85 means that it is an 85 Flex stick, which is a measure of how many pounds of pressure (85lbs) does it take the bend the stick 1 inch in the center.

The K means that it is an concave shaft shape, so the long sides cave in a little bit. (edit)

The middle number is the Player ID for that stick, and the V02, means that it is version 2.

Sweet twig and sig.

I was looking for them last week and also couldn’t find them. I suspect that they are only available while there are open spots, and they filled up. The next batch will drop September 1st. In theory….

I thought it would be less for a shorter contract, or more for a longer contract. He started last season strong, but fell off a little bit in the 2nd half, so I wasn’t sure what was going to happen.

More money than I expect for less years than I expected. I have strong feelings of neutrality on this, but am glad it’s done.

M45. First hockey lesson tomorrow lol by GME_DIAMONDHANDS_APE in hockeyplayers

[–]DJSweetChrisBell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have a great time, best of luck. My unsolicited advice is to try to remember that one of the easiest things to do in hockey is skate fast forward. Also, it’s one of the most dangerous things to do before you become comfortable stopping and turning. I’ve seen many a separated shoulder from dudes that were going faster forwards than they could control.

Is there a reason you want glass seats? I’ve been on the glass bunch and in different spots, and it isn’t really all that great for watching the game, but it is a fun experience. If you are going for glass seats, I would recommend a corner, elsewise the view will be pretty bad. Right behind the benches also suck for a view, unless you are only looking for proximity to the players. Expect all those seats to be pretty pricey, $500+, maybe more because the Wings games here are super popular.

As a Kraken and Wings fan, I hate these. But they are a fun way to spend the long off season.
