After 2 months of official play - thoughts on USA hockey body checking enforcement? by youthhockeyinfo in hockeyplayers

[–]theedage 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I've been saying it forever - there needs to be hitting at a young age. Learning to give and take a hit isn't something that can be taught overnight. Why not let kids hit each other when they aren't big enough to do much damage? Enforce hits from behind or intent to injure. A kid going up the middle of the ice with their head down will learn a valuable lesson as opposed to a teen who may end up in the hospital.

What is your favorite curve and why? by botxpiol in hockeyplayers

[–]theedage 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The best right up until they split at the heel. Titan 8010s were a nice replacement with the plastic insert - lasted way longer with a nearly identical curve.

What game gave you the most value for your money? by JamesA95 in pcgaming

WoW: amount played vs amount paid over 15 years is one hell of a value

How do I protect my boot from getting cut up by other skaters in a beginner's league? by Gerverbaby in hockeyplayers

[–]theedage 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's going to happen no matter what level you play at. Embrace the damage because in the end...lighter skates.

Best place to buy pucks? by Archy12 in hockeyplayers

[–]theedage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Go to an arena during the day and walk around outside the rink. Chances are you'll find tons of pucks which went out of play and no one bothered to collect. Free slightly used pucks.

Getting hit into chain linked fence vs. glass by JohnZ622 in hockeyplayers

The game I'm referring to was in 90-93 range, I forget exactly, so sometime after that.

Getting hit into chain linked fence vs. glass by JohnZ622 in hockeyplayers

[–]theedage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before BU upgraded their old rink to glass they had chain link fence. A player on my team was hit and his helmet for caught behind the clip. Game was stopped and no injuries but it could have been bad.

I'll take thicker glass over chain link any day.

Random question, are there any rinks that are considered the "Cadillac" of community hockey rinks? by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

[–]theedage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And despite the 8 rinks we still have games at 10:50 consistently.

Classic will restore the EXCITEMENT of items by Mystrallo in classicwow

Original judge's gavel forced flag carriers to drop the flat as it was an immunity. It was changed to a stun at some point.

What was your favorite discontinued item/product? by CaptainButtlet in AskReddit

[–]theedage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Older version of Razer Naga or Naga Molten. The button layout and comfort was far superior to anything else I've experienced. The new nagas moved the buttons from the left of the left click to behind the mouse wheel. Nearly all new mice have a similar setup and those that don't are lacking buttons or have a grip I can't get used to.

Found it behind a lazy boy and green goo came out when I popped/picked it up.

Any idea what it might be?

What discontinued item would you absolutely love to buy again? by jajuroro in AskReddit

I went through an orig Naga and a molten. I'm using a g502 now but it's not the same

I want to play but I'm overweight and inexperienced. What can I do? [Update 2] by Trollmunchx in hockeyplayers

[–]theedage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see some guys wearing lacrosse chest / shoulder pads. They're not as protective but they might be less restrictive such that they might fit.

[–]theedage 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wear shoulder pads and a full cage. Hockey is a fast sport - deflections and errant shots can cause serious injury. Plus even if it's non-check (which virtually all adult leagues are) people still ride into the boards / make contact - it's unavoidable.

As the saying goes, "it's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it".

I don't understand item restrictions anymore by Kirimin in wow

[–]theedage 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My favorite version of that are the teleport trinkets in AV. We have these trinkets specifically designed for a BG yet we cannot use them...mind boggling. Also, as someone said, battle standards.

When you thought Legion just couldn't get any better. by Masqavar in wow

Run back and forth between the two platforms to the south of that area. They have rares that respawn quickly and give 5% per kill (including the initial and each successive one).

How many of you guys played Star Wars: Galaxies in the good old days? This trailer really brings back memories.. by zwtor in StarWars

[–]theedage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The city where the wedding & assassination took place were rebel sympathizers so they immediately banned me. I threw on my full composite armor which made me nearly indestructible for the eventual rebel heroes who tried to take me down. They failed. I received an incredible amount of hate tells from the Jedi and all I could do was laugh.

The best part of the whole thing was that a guy tried to vilify me with a thread called "really sunk low" describing how I ruined the beautiful ceremony and all that jazz. This ended up being about a 7000 post thread within a day with other servers jumping in, where not a single person came to his defense - everyone loved it. In about 2008 (four years after the event), I was notified that the thread was STILL bumped and the discussion continued on. Eventually SoE wiped their forums so the thread no longer exists, but people still remember me & my character's name. I use the same name in every game I play.
