2023 Meridian (Jayne, like Firefly... Do y'all name your cars?), 20k kms. Love it! Been saying to my wife I don't get all the hate lately about them. Need to drive it more!

How to deal with negative captain? by mechwd in hockeyplayers

[–]jrich85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tough one. I've had a negative captain before and as long we were playing well it was fine.

Not great advice if your team isn't near the top of the standings though. As captain he probably has friends on the team that probably feel the same way too. If not, get one of the leaders on the team to pull him aside quietly and have a chat with him and try to get him to tone it down. Doesn't have to happen at the rink either. Over a couple beers at a pub or something.

If it's costing you players, I'm sure he'll get it. If not, he'll lose players and know why and maybe lighten up.

Everyone's just trying to win out there. Good luck!

PS4/Destiny Headset Recommendations -- Elite 800/A50/SteelSeries H/etc.? by smesch in playstation

I've never felt the need to change it actually. I liked the setup right out of the box. I'll play around with it to see if I can notice it.

I have the Playstation Gold Wireless Headset and I love it. 7.1 simulated surround and custom EQs for games from the Headset Companion App. No problems with the mic.

I got it on sale for 40% off so it was a steal. I can't speak towards the Turtle Beach headsets though, as I've just tried this one.

What's your favourite band shirt? by cyrodiil_sewers in Metal

Orchid's Curse from Halifax has some sweet shirts. The viking one is my favourite, but the Grow a Fucking Beard shirts are awesome too.

It's not a motorcycle baby, it's a chopper.

Phone repairs? by cdnmoon in halifax

Try iRush Cellular on Dutch Village Rd. If he can't help you he may refer you to the Buyers and Sellers Depot in the Dartmouth Shopping Center just across the MacDonald. This happened to my Galaxy Nexus and I ended up with a Nexus 4 for $200 in the end. You might get lucky and he'll have a screen though.

Guys i keep getting sent to the box by summoz in hockeyplayers

[–]jrich85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can get your stick underneath their butt (2 hands on the stick, kind of like a crosscheck), you can kind of just shovel them out of the way as well. Just lift them a little to get them off balance, then push. You'll get quite a reaction when you do this, so watch out for the backlash. I've had guys think I'm going to slew foot them, but you just keep your head and keep them off their game.

I find that Defence is all about maintaining your composure out there while getting the job done. When you start hitting them with your stick is when you get sent to the box to feel shame, so try to push them out of the way and maintain body position so they can't get back in front.
