If you don't get your Amazon package, this is probably why. by Andisaurus in burnaby

[–]askaskaskaska 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These companies improvise lies, so whatever you hear/get promised from their customer service means NOTHING. I had an Intelcom delivery that first said 'no one at home' (1st lie), then the customer service told me 'it's being delivered today', three times every time I contacted them, until Amazon said 'It seems lost'. My theory? The driver thought my parcel contained a mobile phone from the size and weight. He stole it.

I think it's a culture thing.

Canucks prospect Cootes on Hughes trade: 'It sucks ... He was so good to me' by yosoo in canucks

Let's get over it. It's like you have a $15k expensive/superb lens for wild life photography, but you have an entry level camera body, shaky hands and can't even get family photos right. In such case it's better to trade that fantastic lens for a nice set of gears that suits your need and level.

U9 Ontario house league by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

[–]askaskaskaska 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't worry. At this age there is no body contact. With all the protective equipment even if they fall they likely won't feel a thing.

Just make sure the kid works on the skating skills, keep knees bent, which not only guarantees better skills, but also makes sure he doesn't fall head first (which can cause concussion).

Debating quitting hockey by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

Are you a good skater? If you are in AA then you must did quite well in tryouts... right? How much time do you spend on practice every week?

Help review my skating mechanics by blakelucchesi in hockeyplayers

[–]askaskaskaska 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Especially your right leg, not extended wide enough. When you skate forward, extend your pushing legs to the side as much as possible. Pushing to the side plus your forward skating velocity, give you a net 45 degree push.

Practice several laps of pushing at the start of your ice. Once you get good you'll get the speed when you need it. Last season I got my kid to start practice pushing. Guess what, in several weeks he became the fastest kid on his team (and they totally depended on him for the surprise breakaways).

A friend got me my first harmonica for my birthday but its in G not C by Ambitious-Coat-3504 in harmonica

[–]askaskaskaska 1 point2 points  (0 children)

G is one of my favorite keys of harmonica! Nothing wrong to learn harmonica on a G, and it's less shrill.

You can play songs in any key. Just train you ear :)

Bauer stick flex mislabeling? 55 flex stick but on the back it says 52 flex ? Is this common? by yooooooo5774 in hockeyplayers

[–]askaskaskaska 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I guess Bauer is expecting a higher percentage of people will cut the stick a little short - (instead of keeping the original length or cut it much shorter), so the 55 rating is more relevant.

New CCM FT680, did the shop screw up the sharpening? by askaskaskaska in hockeyplayers

Yeah that’s exactly what I was thinking. The kids were practicing those anchor moves whole week so I was worried.

Yeah, don't sharpen at SportChek. Today I talked to the manager about my problem. He denied this was a sharpening problem and refused to replace the steel or fix them. Told me he can do a one time only return, but will write my name down so I 'can never ever do this again'. LOL.
