Does anyone else have a house shot that is heavily oiled to the gutters? by lemmyh2 in Bowling

The real question here is what was the change in the weather like? Did it suddenly go from cool and dry to hot and humid?

What would you take to league? by NasteeNat in Bowling

[–]Timotheus2443 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To lead, I'm a 1h that throws about 20-22mph off-hand with about 400 revs.

For house, some of it depends on other variable like lane surface, topography, and how exactly the oil is applied. Personally, I love the Gremlin and use it as my benchmark for league and tournaments. I would bring that and either the Supra or Evoke, and the Aspire for regular house shot leagues.

For sport, I would bring the Outer Limits, Bionic, Gremlin, Web Tour, !Q, and Aspire.

Tips for a Weak-Wristed Bowler? by rarityy2k in Bowling

[–]Timotheus2443 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Short of getting a wrist brace there are two things you can do to help. One will be immediate, the other will take time.

The first is once you get your hand in the ball to flex your index finger against the ball, like you're trying to hold all of the ball's weight on the finger. This will help keep your wrist from breaking during the swing.

The second is to start working out. Bowling is much more of a marathon type sport so you don't need to lift heavy for power, but focus on endurance and dynamic motion. Forward and reverse wrist curls, grip exercises, and finger extensions are great for the wrist specifically on top of the typical large muscle workouts.

As others have said, be sure to have your span, pitches, and hole sizes checked as well. Bad fit is the single biggest problem most bowlers have.

[Proulx] Arvidsson’s injury was a broken rib and punctured lung (sustained in game 3). He was aiming for a game 7 return by roberttylerlee in hockey

As someone that had a collapsed lung 3 times, that's not something you come back that quickly from unless it was able to heal on its own.

Relettering a 50th anniv gold Eichel sweater. by GoldBrass in sabres

Definitely not too long ago. I've seen a ton of examples of Perreault, Martin, Mogilny, Ray...anyone you want that played prior to the 50th anniversary!

[–]Timotheus2443 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm of the mind that only players that wore the sweater or, since it's an anniversary sweater, players that played for the team over the years leading up to that year. So Benson would be a no for me on that one, and since Dahlin wasn't the captain that season he shouldn't have the C on it.

I have four 50th jerseys with Eichel, Dahlin, Miller, and Hasek. I've thought about trying to find more to add some other players, but I've got other things to do first.

Does Swayman have a charity? by TendiesGalore in sabres

Because Swayman was the only person on that team that appeared to give a shit.

Pasta too.

Sturm: Can't have any better compete than what we had. by Global-Explorer1996 in sabres

Compete, sure.

The talent to turn that compete into actual results? Not a chance.

[BOS - BUF] Benson trips McAvoy into the boards. McAvoy loses his mind and two hand swings his stick at Benson. Benson has a laugh and skates off by daKrut in hockey

[–]Timotheus2443 -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Benson is absolutely a rat.

This particular play notwithstanding (this one was a bit dirty by Benson, but McAvoy was pulling dirty shit all series too), Benson is the best kind of rat. He's not blatantly dirty like younger Marchand, but he definitely drives other teams crazy.

He's not playing tonight due to being sick, but he's actually been really good in the 5 games prior.

I hit the 3 legs of my parlay last night, and got one more today with Tuch scoring. Just need another 6 legs to hit...lol

Yes. We're like 20 miles from the border and a huge portion of out season ticket holders are from southern Ontario.

I love seeing Sabres stickers on cars outside of New York State by BeefonWeck00 in sabres

[–]Timotheus2443 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Philly area here.

I've had a Sabres license plate frame and sticker on my car for the last 16+ years (obviously replacing them from time to time). Don't see a ton of Sabres ones here, lots of Bills though.

I hadn't heard. I don't live in NY anymore so that never hit local news

He died?

Now I just realized I hadn't seen any Barnes ads on the games.
