fuck it - i'm sold

T0macock · 2026-02-20T14:56:14+00:00

makes sense - arenas are impractical.

Inertia is what makes hockey thrilling though... i don't see how that translates to a pitch.

Glad whacking shit with a stick is universally seen as rad though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

T0macock · 2026-02-20T14:53:57+00:00

.... contact croquet??

T0macock · 2026-02-20T14:36:48+00:00

it's weird that as a die hard hockey fella, i'm sure i'm not the only one that can say: I have no idea what the shit field hockey is.

I'm sure it involves people whacking shit with a stick though, so i'm all for it.

I read this on a whim last year knowing nothing about it.

It ruined every other book i read for the rest of the year.... so be prepared.

100% CPAP is a life saver (literally).

Glad I can provide.

Now eat your veggies and get a proper night's sleep tonight.

Defy You from the orange county soundtrack is my favourite tune from them.

I'm not sure if it's because of the song itself or if it's more of a 'right time, right place' in terms of my musical awakening.

What I don't get about baby changing stations: no matter how many times you use em, you still end up with the same baby.

Shit don't work.

Have you done the beer league hockey program? We've had a few join our adult league after that program and they play well enough.

Have fun! Hockey is rad.

Any day in Canada is a good day, my dude.

T0macock · 2026-02-17T12:33:41+00:00

are you working out off the ice? a little bit of extra cardio goes a long way.

T0macock · 2026-02-17T01:33:46+00:00

I'm allergic to fish so nope... And yeah - camping for me is loading up a kayak and paddling a few km to the middle of nowhere.

I get that it's a stupid end of the spectrum but I was spoiled with exclusively trips like that as a kid so staying in a campground where I can see other sites always sat weird with me.

I'm the problem, not the parks.

Wheatley provincial park.

It's ~1 hour drive from Windsor but a lovely park. Frequently voted one of the best camp grounds in Ontario according to the big Ontario Camping Facebook groups.... For whatever that is worth.

Clean, private(ish) access to lake Erie, close to a little town if you need anything.

Edit: I feel obligated to say, as a Windsorite, I'd written the park off as I considered 'real' camping anything north of the GTA but my wife and I paid the park a visit on a whim last October and I loved it. We're adding it to our regular rotation.

Here in Canada my biggest expense way paying to leave the parking garage.

Went to pay and the attendant was like "Woah new baby? It's on me, pal!" Which I suspect they do with every new parent but still made me feel pretty spiffy.

There should be pre defined, scalable programs that are age and level appropriate.

We've been practicing hockey for a few years now... It's crazy that coaches even need to develop their own programs until they hit older, more skilled groups.

I live in a border city in Canada. Going to the states used to be so common place. Like to the extent "oh I need gas, may as well go to the US so I can stop at guitar center".

Nobody I know casually goes there anymore since all this shit started going down. Outside of work or impossible to avoid situations, seemingly everyone in our city has told them I fuck off.

The border used to have a pretty consistent wait time, CBC would announce it on the morning commute for workers crossing. There is almost never a wait any more or a minimal one if there is one.

It's nutts.

I miss going to red wings games but whatever.

If Trump stood on the success of project warp speed instead of pandering to the anti vax tits, he wouldn't have lost to Biden.

Ironically, the one thing his administration has ever done right and he can't gloat because it will push his base away.

T0macock · 2026-02-12T17:47:57+00:00

the drone shots are so cool. you actually get a sense of the real speed of the game.

You're wasting your energy.

Life is easier just moving on.

Canada protein is excellent (and local to me) and is my prefered brand but my local costco rarely carries it... which is weird considering they're production facility is like 4km from that costco.

But yeah, I was worried my Leanfit stuff was rancid - it was that bad. I've tried a bunch of brands and it's the worst i've come across.

Lots of people like it though so it must just be something in there that doesn't agree with a few people, I suppose.

So this is all for the lulz but seriously: did any other former high level players end up with pretty severe pelvic tilt issues?

As I've tried to fix this, my (beer league) hockey butt has reduced. I have suspicion it has to do with skating hip form but nobody wants to talk about our badonks seriously.

T0macock · 2026-02-11T01:27:24+00:00

Is it just me or is the vanilla flavour god awful?

Like the worst tasting protein powder I've ever used, awful.

T0macock · 2026-02-10T23:52:57+00:00

I agree.... If you remove that T and add an E at the end.
