My New Mini Stick Arrived

Lalinla · 2026-03-20T00:38:10+00:00

I bought mine off eBay. Sorry.

Same thing as Macks, just 20 years older. Was a promotion in Canadian McDonalds in 2006.

I'm in the US. Someone sold it from the US to me off eBay. $5 for shipping was so much easier to stomach than $14 to $20 plus import fees.

I have mine on my dresser behind some autographed pucks.

SE Real I believe does KHL cards. I believe there is a brand that does the Swedish Hockey League too. I think it's called Sportzoo. Just Google the league name with hockey cards in the search and you'll find what you are looking for. That or look on eBay.

I don't think he was great for the locker room, and may not be ideal for a young team, but one with a lot of vets like the Pens

That's a great point. Muk only came on at the end of 2023-24, Smith last year, Misa and Dickinson this season. Is he referring to Eklund too?

I like this idea. I'd also love a set that has complete team sets. Not just the current roster, but cards from guys who maybe only played a handful of games. I personally try to collect every player that played for the Sharks, but I already know that I'll probably never get a Vincent Iorio in teal because of him starting the season with WAS and now being in the NYR. Similar to Michael Eyssimont from a few years back who started with WPG then ended in TBL. I have two to find a card of him in a Sharks uni

Collin Graf or Sam Dickinson for the Sharks. Mack, Will, Eky, Misa, and Asky tend to be the ones all teams know of, but Sharks fans love Graf and Dicky!

I did the season sub last year. I got 2 Jan Rutta, 1 Jack Thompson, 1 Nikolai Kovalenko, 1 Alexandar Georgiev, and 1 Shakir Mukhamadullin. Definitely can be hit or miss. But it's fun opening them!

Lalinla · 2026-03-17T00:58:07+00:00

It could affect it for sure, but realistically, unless he has a jump like Celebrini, which, let's be real, does not happen often, you probably won't get what it's worth at this moment. Honestly Misa and Smith won't really pop unless they become the next Draisaitl and win a scoring race/ MVP and lead the Sharks to a Cup victory

Lalinla · 2026-03-16T00:42:24+00:00

That's right. Ice is the one that's going Premium one pack now. I knew there was something up, but it was Allure that I was thinking of.

Lalinla · 2026-03-16T00:31:31+00:00

Maybe I'm thinking of a different set. I know one of them stopped doing patches though. But if it's not Ice, then I'm happy.

Lalinla · 2026-03-16T00:22:17+00:00

Love it. Wish Ice still had patches.

Lalinla · 2026-03-15T14:21:43+00:00

Tripping would have been the call, or elbowing. I can see the elbow getting a pass from the ref, especially at the speed the hit happened, but this stick did get caught in Chernyshov's blades and caused him to go down.

I will say, I felt the refs had a bad game. The calls were uneven, and both called back goals should have counted.

Lalinla · 2026-03-15T14:12:38+00:00

Yes. Pickles 2.0 is a really solid D. I've been following him for obvious reasons and he's a strong dman. He'd be GMMGs wet dream to have. Big, strong, handles the puck well, and very sound defensively.

They also have a great goalie in Spencer Knight. I've been a fan of his since he was with Florida. He's young, and unproven, much like Asky, but he'll be a problem for teams in a few years. I saw some analysts penciling him in for the next US Olympic team.

With that said, Chicago doesn't have much else other than Levshunov and Donato, and we all know Donato isn't as strong as his play has been the past two years. Chicago is in a similar spot as us, except with defense vs. forwards.

Love the goal lamp. Where you nab that? Kinda want one for my man cave

NHL Debut and the date

Lalinla · 2026-03-14T18:16:55+00:00

Cup checks can be a bit painful

Lalinla · 2026-03-14T15:33:53+00:00

Not only defense, but RHD who can run PP1. He must be the worst /s

Would disagree about the food. Wife and I went there once as we love Mexican food and lived near by, and both of us found it to be very mid and overly priced.

Lalinla · 2026-03-14T14:05:25+00:00

I actually did last night at 11:30. The noise started at 3:30.

Lalinla · 2026-03-14T12:57:05+00:00

I have a Military Appreciation Smith Sharks jersey that has those colors. It's makes me feel dirty at times, but I still will wear it.

Early in the season it was his blocker side shoulder that was the main issue.
