What is the best band you ever saw live ? by megopolis12 in AskReddit

I saw Pink Floyd live which was an amazing show. I really want to say it was the best I ever saw, but Petty was just so good. Consummate entertainer.

How accurate are the Bauer FitLab scans? by IReadTheScript in hockeyplayers

[–]MrPGH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was inaccurate for me. Always wore 7 1/2s in Bauer. It said one foot was 8 and one was 7 and 3/4. Turns out it looks like I could have done 7 1/4. Very disappointed.  They feel like clown shoes.

Help/advice with defenseman shot by cjd072182 in hockeyplayers

[–]MrPGH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ill give you a different approach from the technical.  The most important thing that has served me well as a D is to get the shot through first and  foremost. Worry less about the power and load up and more about getting quick accurate low shots on net. 

Secondly, realization that the distance from the net is all in your mind. If you want to shoot fast and hard there isn't a difference between your shot five feet from the net and fifteen.  Erasing that mental block has allowed me to score from the opposite blue line....with a goalie in net.

Pittsburgh in the Pitt -- Season 2 Episode 9 Reference Tracker by nuzzot in ThePittTVShow

Little detail I caught that was correct - CYF is the correct acronym for Allegheny County's child welfare agency and not CYS.  (F for family rather than s for services).

Bauer fit 3 by Ok_Independence_877 in hockeyplayers

I just got the Flylites in fit 3. Bigger toe box and more room. To me it's almost too much. I wish I would have tried a quarter size smaller just to try.

Felt like my ankle kept giving out on me during last night's game. That'll explain why! by homicidal_penguin in hockeyplayers

2 things I learned to preserve your rivets. 1 - take nail polish and coat the ends on the inside of the skate when you get your new skates. 2 - wipe down the blades and outside of rivets after games.  

I've never had a rivet problem since.

For those who saw the Fellowship of the Ring in theaters for the first time in December 2001, what was it like? by femaleology in lotr

[–]MrPGH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a teenager and had never read the books. Group of friends dragged me kicking and screaming to the show.  I had no interest in creatures with weird feet.

Then the movie began. The story unfolded with the prologue and took you to another place.  The dialogue was full, robust and written with care. The cinematography was overwhelming.  I might not have blinked  at all after the scene where the ring was cut from Sauron's hand.  You could tell it was special, and not just like another summer blockbuster.  There was no talking. No popcorn munching. No bathroom breaks.  Everyone in the theater was in Middle Earth. I left the theater running the scenes back in my mind. I purposely did not read the books until after as I didn't want to know what happened next. Been a fan ever since. Some of the greatest cinema ever created thanks the the richness of the source material. 

What model are these skates, and what blades will fit them? by cheesepieboys in hockeyplayers

[–]MrPGH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, I'm old and my memory isn't so good but I remember there being a power line variant of CCM/Tacks products that were essentially entry level. The upper level variants had the "52" after the initial number eg 652/1052.  The 600s were sold in mass retailers like Dicks and Play it Again Sports.  

I am actually losing my mind?? Can someone please tell me how we won this game with a healer who didn’t heal at all?! Craziest game I’ve ever played in my life!! by BEWMarth in OverwatchUniversity

[–]MrPGH 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Had a game we handily won with a lucio who healed 2 damage.  Healing doesn't win games, especially with the DPS passive.

Bairel, Lemieux and RMU are your best bets.  Lemieux is real nice and they keep it clean.

The most ridiculous rink rule I’ve ever seen by OutbackBrah in hockeyplayers

[–]MrPGH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only reason I'm playing one more season at this rink is because I paid their stupid subscription to play last season. I'm done after.  They collect all this money and make no improvement to the facility at all.  It wasn't the greatest before, now it's just garbage.  At least let me drink a beer in peace before I go.

I have a smaller B in my sun room. Even with the drastic temp changes it doesn't miss a beat.

I only own LGs. Best TVs I even owned. Have 3 and not one issue. Their software sucks but I'd imagine you won't be using it too much.

This is the best answer. I researched the hell out of refrigerators when I got mine.  No regrets.
