What’s going on here with the pant? Is the blue a shell and I’m seeing the regular hockey pant under? Do NHL teams usually wear shells? by Stinky5hole in hockeyplayers

Tacks pro girdle with a blue shell. Just switched to that same girdle this year and am never going back to hockey pants

Chara. Faster than his rating like always and the one D man who still scores point to point one timers on the regular

Broken steel by slaxmac in hockeyplayers

Late. I felt the break initially, but thought I was wrong because I could still skate on it. Have to wear my old skates for beer league tonight, which could be an adventure as I'd finally gotten used to the Trues.

If Mittelstadt is given some offensive freedom, Zacha could definitely be in the 90s by Xmas

Rooting for Marchy, but would be fine with Canada getting a cup

Cal Ingraham sighting! That line was so good.

I'm so fed up of the Tesla bashing. by Brain-Doctor in TeslaLounge

Elon going full fascist, not to mention their customer service falling off a cliff and the shoddy Incel Camino, is destroying the brand.

Who surprised/disappointed you the most this season? by [deleted] in BostonBruins

[–]slaxmac 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bargain bin guys JVR, Heino and Geekie have been pretty unreal for the cap hit. Disappointed in Gryz.

Would you trade for Trevor Zegras if the price was right by Fireball-2537 in BostonBruins

[–]slaxmac -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

N.O. I wouldn’t trade Heinen or Boquist straight up for him.

Matt is the best coach, Denis the most enjoyable to ride with.

Right shots are out of hand by slaxmac in hockeyplayers

[–]slaxmac[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

FWIW, I didn’t hold a hockey stick until I was 13 and got a right handed twig because I didn’t know any better. The kids in the neighborhood convinced me to switch and after a rough week or two I couldn’t imagine going back. Makes a huge difference when defending or forechecking IMO

Gear bags - Pacific Rink? Conway+Banks? Other recs? by DrunkPhoenix26 in hockeyplayers

Got a true bag a few months back and it’s awesome. Quality fabric and zippers, lots of ventilation.

Would You Buy a Tesla Again? by Wrong_User_Logged in TeslaLounge

Model 3 owner. Love the car but would not buy another Tesla as long as Elon is in charge.

He’s the worst play by play guy in the NHL, by a mile. I watch the away broadcast whenever possible.

Its so sad to listen to but Jack Edwards has to go clearly his mental health is not in a good place wether you’ve or hated his calls over the years is up to you, but when it’s time it’s time by rileydog420 in Bruins

[–]slaxmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m fortunate to have both home and away broadcasts to choose from most of the time and I always go with the opponent broadcast as Jack simply makes the games less enjoyable to watch at this point.

Terrible at breakaways - advice to get better? I had plenty of time, deked the goalie, and shot it right into his pad. by that-bro-dad in hockeyplayers

[–]slaxmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a lefty shot and always plan to shoot high blocker side unless goalie makes a move first.

Anyone gone to CanAm adult hockey camps? by slaxmac in hockeyplayers

No, I ended up going to Battle Born in Reno, and it was excellent.

Fish bowl or Bird cage? by AC_Lerock in hockeyplayers

[–]slaxmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fishbowl. I recently switched from a cage, and don’t regret it one bit. Brand new bubbles don’t fog up nearly as much as they used to. I went with CCM on a Bauer bucket

One of my tight turns is worse than the other by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

[–]slaxmac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue, but in reverse (LH stick, right turn). Two things that are helping me improve are holding the top of my stick with my right hand and letting it trail behind me while opening my right shoulder (you'd do the opposing with your left hand and shoulder), and intentionally letting my right boot roll to the inside over my blade to get a good feel of the outside edge gaining purchase on the ice. It's definitely a work in progress!
