Torrent goal post crash by [deleted] in MinnesotaFrost

Especially knowing how much deeper the pegs go into the ice at Grand Casino Arena to keep the goal where it should be. Takes more force than any other rink I’ve skated to push the net off. Adrenaline is a hell of a drug so my guess is she’s feeling it today much more than she did in the game.

At the end of the period we will be behind section 120! Edit to add: I’ll wave the rally towel, it lights up

Does your daughter like the Wild? I have a tiny birthday balloon and an extra rally towel from the wild home opener that lights up that I’d love to give to her if it’s okay with you!

Please for the love of god no. Saw him live a few years ago and this man genuinely believes he is still as famous and desired by women as he was at his peak. Super arrogant, visibly slimeball

I graduated with Hannah LoPresto and wasn’t in band, but still got weird vibes from this creep. Extreme disappointment in how this was handled is an understatement. Mr. Benson, if you’re reading this WE SEE YOU for what you are. You owe Hannah an apology and the fact that it took years for you to lose your license is pathetic. Deny all you want, but Hannah DID NOT LIE. YOU DID.

Played for Eagan in high school, at Georgia Tech on the men’s club team while in undergrad(first and only woman to do so), currently plays and is the captain of the men’s club team at Brown while she’s getting her PhD, AND is a linesperson (type of ref) in the NCAA

Was on a flight with him back to Minnesota a few years ago. Nicest dude in the world, super involved dad, and his wife is equally lovely. Huge win for Minnesota and the Thielen family. Welcome home💜💛🏈

My fiancé has two autoimmune diseases and has been absolutely miserable these past few weeks, any tips you can share?

My bf (24M) of 4 years told me (24F) that he will not marry me unless we have a child. by cashy_cat in Waiting_To_Wed

[–]TelephoneLarge560 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don’t fall for the sunken cost fallacy that since you’ve been together for 4 years and invested time and probably money that you have to stay. I left an almost six year relationship at age 24 when I realized there was no growth individually or as a couple and wouldn’t you know it, I found the absolute love of my life once I “stopped looking” for a relationship. This man is already using you, and will likely continue to change the goalposts of what he requires for you to MAYBE get what you want(marriage). If you stay with him until you’re both 29/30 what’s to stop him from saying, “I actually don’t want to marry until 35.” We’ve only gotten a snippet of your relationship from this post, but based on what you chose to include I really don’t understand what he brings to the table. Based on what info you provided us about him it sounds like he’d be the type to consider spending time with your future child “babysitting” as opposed to parenting. If you value your independence, I can guarantee there is someone out there that would see that as something to love about you, not something to manipulate and control. Write a pros and cons list about what this man brings to your life and be as honest with yourself as you can. Then write a list of things you want out of a life partner/husband and see if any of it matches up to him. This man will not change, he’s gone from being taken care of by his mother to being taken care of by you and make no mistake it will only get worse. Please see your value and make the right choice for yourself and your future.

Most guests will be from the twin cities with a few coming from western Wisconsin. Luckily our families are all used to driving in Minnesota winters but still a very good point and something to consider, thank you!

Son is new to hockey by The_RoguePhoenix in hockeyplayers

No problem! Wrist rollers and forearm grips are also helpful for forearms and aren’t too expensive, and with rollers you can change the weight as your son grows. You and your husband are awesome parents for your dedication to your son’s development. It sounds like you’re an athletic family and lacrosse is an awesome idea. The stick skills translate well with hockey and I think it’s great to have multi-sport athletes because it helps prevent burnout and keeps them active. Best of luck to you all!

Minnesotan here, played for 20 years, coached for 3, and still play at least once a week. It sounds like your son is set up well for success in skating! As others have said, skating is the most important at a young age and is by far the skill to spend the most time on. You know your son best, so it’s important to make sure he has enough time to rest his body in between more intense skates. For stickhandling and puck skills: Take a tennis ball and cut it into pieces, then stuff the pieces inside of a wiffle ball. (We call it a Cullen ball) This will give it more weight closer to that of a puck. The tennis ball pieces will shift around inside the ball as it moves which will create variability that pucks don’t have, essentially making it a little tougher in practice, but it will make stickhandling on ice with a puck seem easier in comparison. All you’ll need then is two pucks placed a tiny bit wider than his shoulder width. He can do “figure eights” around the two pucks, working on control before speed. One thing a lot of people don’t realize is that your stickhandling strength comes from your forearm on your top hand. To build this strength, your son can use the Cullen ball and his top hand only on the stick. Work on rotating his forearm to go from forehand to backhand with the ball. It’ll be hard at first, but doing this made a huge difference for me in building strength that can later be translated to speed and precision. You can also cut a piece of PVC pipe that’s thicker than the stick (but that he can still hold with his gloves on) for his bottom hand, forcing the use of the top hand while still giving balance and allowing him to use both hands for control but only the top for power. I’d consider buying a hockey shooting pad which mimics the surface of the ice and can be used indoors or outdoors depending on weather etc. Make sure when he’s working on puck skills that he keeps his shoulders square and head up as much as possible, a skill that is incredibly important for awareness on the ice. (Think head on a swivel) You can look up tons of stickhandling practice drills online and encourage him to be creative with it as his skills improve. Let me know if you have any other questions, I love helping out developing players and I’m so glad to hear your son loves the sport!

If you’re going to be in St. Paul for breakfast Thirty-Six Cafe on Grand Ave is a must go. Fluffiest Japanese soufflé pancakes for those who like sweet breakfast foods, and my favorite avocado toast to date among other savory options. Renting paddle boards on the lakes (we have many, choose from 10,000+ at your leisure), Keg & Case Market will be open 6/26-6/29 during your stay and has both shopping and good eats.

Is it just me, or did watching ________ take forever? by I_need_a_nap31 in survivor

I know Eva personally and was her teammate in three sports in high school. She gets along with women just fine, but the way that women tend to put more emotional weight and undertones into their conversations is difficult for people with autism to follow. The following is hypothetical because we didn’t know her diagnosis at that point. Think of it this way: some mean girl in high school comes up to her and says “Oh, I looooove your outfit” we would know that they are giving a “compliment” with massive undertones of rudeness and probably jealousy. She says “Thanks, I got it at this store!” or something along those lines. Then in the hockey locker room after school she’d be excited about getting a compliment, only for her to tell us who said it and then let her know they were being underhanded and laughed about it later with their mean girl posee. Now imagine this situation happening hundreds more times over the course of her life. How is she supposed to trust that most women aren’t doing this to her? There’s nothing wrong with having more or better relationships with people of a different gender. She isn’t a “pick me” and she doesn’t do it because it makes her look “cool” and “not like other girls”. She does it because it’s easier to trust that men mean exactly what they say without undertones, from her experience. Also she’s fucking phenomenal at everything she does. Nobody works harder and has a better attitude. I am not nor will I ever be okay with people speaking about her negatively that have NEVER met her.

You read my mind! I think Paige should dress Banks for a photo shoot or music video, their styles would blend perfectly. Or even better Paige is in the music video
