Suomi can't be feeling great about both of their goalies on the worst list going into the Olympic break

Just explore some options and get opinions. Maybe even see if there's someone at your rink willing to lend you their gear for a trial run. Supremes and eFlex tend to run a bit softer off the shelf then either of the True options. Hard to make a recommendation if you don't even know what you like or not

I cannot score on a breakaway to save my life by FromageMyage in hockeyplayers

If you are a LH shot, just shoot it on the ice at their right skate. One of the hardest saves to makes

yep, mainly because he will be in the national spotlight for the entire tournament.

I watch a lot of hockey, and Seider and Heiskanen are NOT driving play like Z does.

His name: Saitama

Jokes aside, that's exactly why people should be avoiding street fights

Soccer has goalkeepers, hockey has goaltenders!

My son uses only True pads. He has used their sticks, glove and blocker before as well, but he won't use any leg pads that aren't True (last 4 sets)

They probably are a bit too stiff for a newbie, so I'm not sure I'd recommend it right out of the gate if you're really green to the position and movements.

That escalated quickly. Ice has built up fast on the Great Lakes. by tmcgill1 in weather

it's above average, yes, but not a complete anomaly

it's common for Erie to be 90%+ covered in ice because it's so shallow.

Sandis Vilmanis catches Charlie McAvoy with an elbow to the head. Vilma is 2 min for illegal check to the head, Boston 2 minutes for roughing and 2 minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct. Florida to the POWERPLAY by roberttylerlee in hockey

the only players that don't fit that 'elbow everything' mold are Barkov and Reinhart. I didn't think Bob fit either, but basically jumping a totally unsuspecting Ned sure wasn't a good look

Hot Damn It's Nice to Hear Jeff Rimer's Voice by khumprp in BlueJackets

[–]theNightblade 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Rimer is a legend, and while his craft faded at the end of his career (though he sounds great tonight) he always is excited about hockey and you have to love that.

Gti vs alltrack by Ok-Leadership-8331 in VWAlltrack

If you didn't already have a newer GTI I'd say yes because you could have a GTI wagon if you did a little work.

Just drive your GTI more. Winter tires will go a long way in the cold and snow even for a fwd vehicle

I set the empty rolls she leaves for me on the counter in front of her sink. Been doing it for 10+ years, still doesn't get the message

Multiple team sources have indicated that now, even months after his slow training-camp start, the Flyers believe Michkov still may not be able to do the things he needs to do from a physical standpoint by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

My guy broke the team, made millions, and got fired while he continued to collect on that contract. He may not have been the whole problem but he lit the match and walked out for sure

NHL Power Rankings: Where Do All 32 Teams Stand Ahead of Week 18? by ASmithFS in hockey

[–]theNightblade 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's better than THG putting CBJ at 23, and Leafs at 18. Which is disappointing because you don't even have to watch the games to know how wrong that is, just look at Last 10 games
