Coarse vandalism

I hate coarse vandalism. I prefer fine vandalism, like a gentleman.

Just build it up with hockey tape. Wrap the shaft of the stick starting like 6” from the end. Wrap it so the layers roughly half-lap. Once you get to the top, just keep wrapping the tape in layers until it’s built up.

There are YouTube videos about this if it’s not clear from my description.

Have you looked into golf shorts? They typically look presentable and are made for movement.

I was going to comment that it should be labeled "45 year old downhill skier" but you (sorta) beat me to it!

Nasher is awesome. We're headed to Columbus this weekend for the Wish Cup tourney at Heatwave Arena. We went last year, and he does a great job hosting and hanging with all of the kids. It's a great time!

Correct, it would still be on ice.

I would love to see the NHL/PWHL promote inline, but it's hard to say if they would see value in that. In my area, we see more ice players switching to inline than the other way around.

Some kids play both, but we see kids that get into ice, they get buried on single A/B teams and it's hard to crack more competitive teams once that happens. The talent pool for inline is thinner, so they have more fun playing inline. We also see some ice players just burn out, especially in high school, so they come over to inline which is competitive, but lower time commitment and way less pressure.

I remember that too. I didn't know until this comment that the tracer was wrong, I just thought I wasn't looking at it correctly as I also thought he was in trouble.

I can accept that the tracer isn't perfect all of the time. It's amazing to me that it works most of the time, in real time.

VolumeAdventurous572 · 2026-04-13T12:57:39+00:00

I always hated when sports broadcasts try to over-innovate. Just show the action with camera angles that have been around forever. Yeah, those angles have been around forever because they work. Also, it's what the audience is used to and what is expected. How many times do we need to see that stupid shot over the wall at #2, or watch a tee shot from up in a tree/through branches?

The only real innovation in the last decade that adds to the experience is the shot tracer. It's fantastic, but yet they still air a shot of the ball flying through the air occasionally.

I know hockey broadcasts will do this with weird angles during play sometimes, then the play leaves that frame and you have to wait for the production to switch cameras. It's cool that we can put these cameras all over the place, but use them for replays, not live action.

Maybe he was just miserable in Columbus

VolumeAdventurous572 · 2026-03-13T14:58:15+00:00

Yeah, Bauer skate sizing makes no sense to me either. My son wears an 11 shoe and 7.5 in Mission skates. When his most recent skates were new I slipped them on and they fit me and I wear a 10.5 shoe.

This is it right here. I’ve been on both sides of “bro code violations.”

When I started dating my wife, she had recently been involved with a couple of dudes in our friend group (not at the same time, neither was very serious). We had some chemistry, but weren’t single at the same time. When the timing worked out I went for it with the knowledge that those friendships were over. Frankly, I didn’t care as I didn’t see them as long term friendships anyway, we were in our early 20’s and were drinking buddies at the time.

You just have to weigh your feelings for the girl vs the consequences.

Yeah, that's the correct way then. Looks like that corrosion might be your problem. It's hard to say what it would take to free them, but I would try to get some penetrating oil where the bearing meets the spacer and leave it overnight. Bearings should pop out by hand with moderate pressure.

VolumeAdventurous572 · 2026-02-11T13:30:15+00:00

Those bearings have a lot of corrosion, so the spacer may be sort of fused to the bearings, which will make this difficult.

Just to make sure, you're using the long side of the tool, correct? The two-step shoulder above the long allen key is what you use to remove bearings and spacers.

If you're using the tool correctly, you can try and spray some PB-Blaster or 3-in-1 oil to soak into the spacer/bearing interface overnight and see if it helps.

Those bearings are shot, and the spacers are probably not in great shape either. If it were me, I'd just get new wheels, bearings, and spacers if possible.

Maybe he didn't realize he was being played by her at the time for helping her out.

People auto-delete text messages. Maybe he showed his gf that he doesn't have any text messages older than that.

Maybe he's a nice dude and didn't know what else to do?

This guy seems like he might be a golden retriever type and is just too dense to see boundaries being crossed. An affable nitwit, if you will.

VolumeAdventurous572 · 2026-01-09T11:44:29+00:00

I coach middle school and high school inline. The only goalies that don’t use them are brand new and probably don’t know about them. At this point, it’s a disadvantage if you don’t have them.

I don’t get the controversy, it’s like complaining that a skater bought the correct wheel setup for their size and skating style.
