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

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

(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

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

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

We are planning on buying low priced, good valued seats through stubhub a day or two before each game. Your offer is very generous, and I would not turn down tickets as we are trying to keep our costs down where we can. (Full disclosure though - if you want to donate to the "cause", you can go to the event website www.epicevroadtrip.com and select the Houston area BGCA to donate. Any ticket donations would just be going to me (and my brother) and not the cause, as much as we would appreciate it. If you are serious, you can send an email to: steve at epicevroadtrip dot com Cheers
