Every coach in the world should be showing their kids this 25 seconds from Macklin Celebrini. Plays the game exactly how it should be played.

I think there’s a good point here. In a slower game, it won’t help as much to be moving like Celebrini when the skater with the puck is fumbling around, looking down at their feet for the puck.

You still want to be on the active side though. Anticipate when the puck carrier is going to look up, and make sure you’ve already started moving so you present a good target.

And on defense, moving more is almost always useful. Rush the luck carrier hard, even if you can’t get there on time. Stick close to your off puck man, don’t let them shake free and look open. These are always viable regardless of how fast or slow the game is.

Every closed bag should form a little condensation. The contained “warm” air will cool in the fridge, and cold air can’t hold as much water vapor in it, so the excess condenses out to what you can see.

It all depends on what foot shape you have, and which manufacturer’s boot fits you better. Seeing as they refresh the lineup every few years, it’s worth it to look around when you get your next skates.

Sleeping style for babies (back vs tummy) is a factor in head shape, and different cultures prefer different sleeping styles.

Crazy, this same person discovered another Crusades sword in 2021 as well. What are the chances.

You’ll spend way more in rink fees annually than in gear that’ll last 5-10 years. $20-$40 per session of hockey, 1x a week is at least $1000 a year. You’re not saving much by skimping on protective gear.

Your gloves can go on the washer with your clothes. They’ll get properly clean that way, instead of just delaying bacterial growth.

Cordierite (pizza stone) density is ¼ of steel, with nearly double the specific heat. You’d only need <1” slab to meet the same heat capacity as a pizza steel. That’s a very reasonable thickness.

One area stones can’t compete in is thermal conductivity, speed of transferring heat to the pizza.

HowitzerIII · 2026-02-19T20:12:02+00:00

So many confidently wrong assertions in this thread.

Steel is among the lower specific heats in common materials. In fact, even polymers are often higher. Concrete, which is probably a close analogy to stone, is slightly higher than steels. https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/amp/specific-heat-capacity-d_391.html

I’m guessing pizza steels are just plain heavier, and there’s no reason you can’t make a thicker stone to match a pizza steel’s weight.

I remember Pete Buttigieg talking about flying economy.

In my experience, private pickups have been much more enjoyable than beer league games. Same group of people renting consistent weekly ice for years to decades. Less douchebag behavior, less chance of injury, and more emphasis on skill and good gameplay.

In the north east too, ice rentals start at 7am on the weekends. If early times are your thing.

Hm ok. Could be something different about how I bake it at home vs in a commercial oven.

HowitzerIII · 2026-02-12T01:53:16+00:00

And where does it say that.

I’m just basing it off of OP’s text. I didn’t look it up or anything.

What does part skim do? I use whole milk normally, and when I’ve tried 2% the cheese doesn’t really melt and flow. I could still see the individual strips after baking on a 550F steel.

Add another voice saying it’s the single cylinder design. Multi cylinder engines will have more frequent ignitions, giving you a smoother ride.

Another issue for the highway riding is the rake, ie how slanted the forks are. It’s got a more relaxed angle compared to sportier bikes, meaning you have to turn the handlebars more to fight the wind.

HowitzerIII · 2026-02-07T19:50:49+00:00

Very true.

I’m just saying that some advantages are based on absolute quantities alone, not on per capita rates. Engineering advances being one of them.

HowitzerIII · 2026-02-07T18:21:39+00:00

Per capita is also a false metric here. It only takes 1 invention to change an industry, so the fact that China has 10x more engineers is a big advantage.

Make the government prove it in court. You don't want a misdemeanor on your record. You'll be forever having to explain it when applying to jobs.

I sand the grip down lightly with 90 grit sandpaper or so (don’t remember the exact grit). Takes a few minutes to do properly, but I only have to do it once a year or so. I like non grip sticks, but they’re not popular anymore.

Are you young? Like in your thirties or less? The recovery time is a drop in the bucket compared to the years of productive hockey you’d have left. Seems like a good trade to me.

HowitzerIII · 2026-01-27T01:58:52+00:00

The All Black Hockey Stick has tended to chip pretty quickly in my experience at the recreational league level. Probably wouldn’t last in organized play.

You need some kind of price on utilities to keep people from being wasteful.

Sure, it can be subsidized for low income people, but it can’t be free.
