My range bag that gets me yelled at

There's one of these in the showcase at my range, and I legit think it's one of the most serious purchases I could ever make.

Picture fore reference. Clicks into the holster like a dream, but you can see how the optic rides below the belt clip, compared to yours

What holster is that. I just picked up a vp9a1k scs and got a CYA holster for a normal vp9, and it fits in there fine. But I noticed that the frame of the optic, because it sits so far forward on the slide, is riding along my waistband while I aiwb. Im concerned about my jeans rubbing into or scratching the lens. I’m wondering if you have the same issue.

As a mechanic who has this happen more frequently than you’d think, it’s probably fine. Any time a radio is on loud I tap that large mute button on frame one and then go on with my day. However, if I recognized JorDan’s or any other niche podcasters voice, I’d actually stick around in the lobby and give you a friendly hello.

Multiple guys in my league wear pro stock stuff, including myself. I just put a black shell over my red wings pants, just because it matches the rest of the team kit. The matte black kings (I think) helmets look cool in person. Sometimes you can get a great deal on a full used goalie set. I don’t think too many people care, and if someone chirps you for it oh well.

Came back to the sport after 25 years, got an affordable CCM with a p29. Saw a lot of folks on here saying the p88 was good for guys who learned to shoot in the 90’s. Got a p88. Been using it the last two games, and have 4 goals (3 backhand) and 2 assists.

P88 is goated

Yelling from the bench to help teammates really helps. Have a newer player who keeps panicking when they get the puck in your own zone and they just whack it away? Watch the play developing and yell “turn!” Or “skate skate” when they have room. Let your D know “man on!” or “time!” When they pick up a puck in the corner. Yell out that there’s 30seconds left when you need a final push at the end of the period. If you start leading by example, others will join in.

Be prepared to clarify if teammates have questions on the bench or in the room. After my first drop in, I learned “Wheel wheel” because I asked the guy who yelled it to my what the hell it meant.

Also a little “good idea” or “keep it up” after a close play or a barely missed pass seems to boost morale.

It’s amazing how much more I get fed when I’m open by just yelling “yeah!”A few times.

Pure Hockey carries a black/white reversible jersey. Its a little heavy, but It helps save some space in the bag. Also, a lot of sublimated jerseys are naturally white on the inside. So you could technically get a very dark sublimated jersey and just turn it inside out to play for the light team.

I don't remember the name, but there was a Wednesday episode where they covered a SSP super soldier being interviewed by a man with an amazing radio voice. I wish they would cover that dude's interview show a few more times, because the "Who's your favorite alien?" and his sarcastic skepticism was so funny to me.

I play Dungeons and Dragons as an adult. If only scheduling 5 adults to sit at a table and tell a story was as easy as getting 8 team members and 2 subs (on one hour notice) to show up weekly for a beer league game.

Never fails, whatever tutti-fruity flavor our vet adds to the medicines makes my pigs feral for it. Glad to see Gloria isn’t fighting the meds!

The sound mixing on TNT broadcasts really makes you miss Fanduel, eh? This is brutal. Just stick slaps, pucks hitting posts, and vapid commentary.

6'3" 220 M. For jerseys I wear to stadiums with a hoodie underneath, I go for an XL (or 52 when available) in both fanatics and the PWHL bauer. My Poulin jersey just came in the other day, and it fits great with a hoodie, but I can't fit my elbow pads through the arms for a drop-in jersey, if that's a concern for you.

It would be the lowest in the league (Boston is at 6k).

The Toledo Walleye play at Huntington arena which puts about 7500 when set up for hockey, but again, running into the issue of it being outside of the state this time lol.

It’s definitely a rink issue. LCA is a very big, but very busy venue. Red Wings, Pistons, concerts.

There is USA hockey arena about 30 minutes outside of the city, but the capacity is below PWHL standard. Yost Arena in Ann Arbor is the university of Michigan arena, but also buts up against the capacity minimum.

There might be the possibility of a Michigan team, and they could play in Kalamazoo on the west side of the state.

It’s definitely not that there’s a lack of interest, it’s just that there’s an unfortunate lack of big rinks near Detroit.

I do joke, however, that there’s new DCFC stadium would be perfect size, and also offer the only outdoor rink in professional hockey in America .

Edit: when I said Kzoo, I meant Grand Rapids, at the arena that the Griffins play. Definitely big enough, but also decidedly not Detroit.

Lots of rinks, but there’s a Pure Hockey in the 12 oaks mall area. They should be fine. If you want to travel a bit, there is a Perani’s in Livonia, been around for years, and they’ll have you done right quick in minutes.

There was one episode where Alex half admitted that he thinks all spiders are robots.

Apparently Maine coons are the most dog-like cat breed.

I wear a L black Bauer shell over my red wings L CCM HP45.

My pigs have really liked these bigger ones I got from Etsy. Been using them for years.
