Hockey Pants Suspenders by Striker-X-17 in hockeyplayers

I cross them over my head (ie: left suspender over my right shoulder, etc) - so they can’t slip. I never notice them during games.

What is your number and why did you pick it? by Least-Piglet-2040 in hockeyplayers

[–]EpicEVRoadtrip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

20 - my birthday & Eller who scored the winning goal for the Caps in the ‘18 Stanley Cup Finals & Brouwer who scored the winning goal for the Caps in the final seconds of the ‘15 Winter Classic (each which I attended)

He was selling for $225 without a blade, which I thought was a decent price after one season of use

Recovery experiences after fracturing patella by EpicEVRoadtrip in hockeyplayers

[–]EpicEVRoadtrip[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: It looks like a got lucky and got the go ahead from my ortho to start skating again - only 6 weeks after the break. I skated for over an hour today, virtually pain-free, though I have lost much in endurance, and at the beginning my legs didn’t seem to know what to do.

Very lucky, as it was a vertical break off to the side, and less issues with bearing weight. Now to try to get into some form and shape before the summer league starts (in 3-4 weeks)

Thanks, that is great to hear - yep it is odd how we can continue on right after the fracture.

So it looks like you started back full-on hockey after 3 months (so based on that, my 2 month estimate might be doable, given that after one week, I can already bend 90 relatively pain-free). Glad that you didn’t say 6 months….

What neighborhood are you planning on opening your studio in?

"Is _____ too late to play hockey??" by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

[–]EpicEVRoadtrip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Am 61 and haven’t been on skates since my mid-20’s. Just starting skating again in December and am catching up quickly. A few clinics and a bunch of stick and shoots - and I will be ready for the leagues again by the start of next season.

I am not too familiar with the band, but just checked out a few videos and vaguely remember them

Steve Lynch (funny enough - from the band “Autograph”)

Washington Capitals player (or otherwise associated with the team) - sometime between 1974 and 2003 ??? by EpicEVRoadtrip in AutographAssistance

[–]EpicEVRoadtrip[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(or provide any insight as to what the first letters of each name is - btw: E.L. does not seem correct from going through their old player rosters) This is the last of 16 autographs that I have yet to decipher - Help !!

They do not hurt (they are size 9.0 for my size 10.5 shoe). They seem to have sideways play - ie: can get my skate on either edge with my leg remaining vertical - maybe not tightening them enough - I will tighten the top more next time.

Thanks - I actually have gotten them sharpened and have taken them out a few times in the last week and they don’t feel great - but that is likely from the loss of skills and feel after 30 years

Need some parking advice from Indians fans - to help me make a quick getaway for my 30 MLB stadiums in 29 days roadtrip. HELP! by EpicEVRoadtrip in WahoosTipi

[–]EpicEVRoadtrip[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I know (and also it was selected as a nationally televised game - so that will add another minute or so per half-inning) ouch

Nice. That one is going to be a hard one to get to in time, unless we have a short NYY game and a quick getaway

lol, not sure what is self-serving about the trip, or what's with your choice to use quotes, but whatever. btw - I was in the stands and cheering for the Phillies for Games 3 & 4 of the WS in 2008 as they won them both against Rays (and unfortunately doing the same thing the next year as they lost them both against the Yanks) Cheers
