100% agree. the era of Garth Snow equipment needs to end. I'm all for protecting the goalies but they need to be required to wear the proper size equipment. Ryan Miller is a perfect example. have you ever seem him in street clothes? he's a medium at best yet I'm willing to bet all his equipment is a...

many years ago we did comparison tastings of cheesesteaks at Pat's and Geno's in Philly. now, I am not a fan of Cheez Whiz but for some reason I thought the sandwich wit whiz was the superior one.

we were actually thinking of doing comparison tastings at Matt's Bar and Five Eight Club......

headed to USA Hockey Nationals in Minneapolis in a few weeks. suggestions that don't involve the Mall of America? I believe we will be based in Blaine for the weekend.....

I intentionally choose flights routed through Charlotte, rather than Atlanta. The latter is a horror show.

maybe I'm just used to it or maybe I just fly at non-busy times but this hasn't been my experience at all.......

Source of the post tip next time you fly through ATL

Better tip: don't fly through ATL.

good luck with that.....

living in ATL I go back and forth typically between Delta and Southwest. we were ready to ditch Delta entirely but then SW cut back on the amount of non-stops out of ATL so sometimes the schedule for Delta just works out better. tip next time you fly through ATL: check in on Facebook while in the ai...

American Airlines had an insane sale fare on Tuesday from ATL to YVR - $209 ROUNDTRIP! oh yeah, we're going!

http://realestate.usnews.com/places/rankings-best-places-to-live No. 1: Denver (but No. 3! No. 3!! No. 3!!! :fist: ) oh god, my Colorado friends will become even more impossible to deal with! I've had 3 friends move to Denver in the last 10 years and I had to block 2 of them on Facebook for going o...

A big issue I've had with Directv is losing signal during heavy rain. It doesn't happen too often, but it happened during the Pens game against Florida recently. I lost the HD signal for a few minutes but not very long. during that time I just switched to the SD signal. when I had cable (admittedly...

I'd use TripAdvisor, FWIW. Yelp is full of dolts.

I actually did turn to TripAdvisor, found some fun options like the Tropicana Casino aaaannnnndddddd then our tourney got moved back to Nashville.

soooooo.......our hockey tourney next weekend got moved from Nashville to Evansville, Indiana. the Nashville rink was supposed to remain open until April but decided to just go ahead and close last week. not cool.
anyhow, anyone have any tips of stuff to eat and do in Evansville? anybody? Bueller?

Cam Newton got what he deserved. dude has been an arrogant ass all year and last night was a major choke job. hopefully he learned that football is a team sport. Didn't play well, but had no help. And arrogant ass isn't really accurate, unless that's just because of celebrations. actually yes, it i...

PNC Field would be awesome. I haven't been to Heinz yet, but PNC has great sightlines and is obviously smaller and thus closer to the playing surface. baseball stadiums are HORRIBLE for outdoor games. in general they're not as steep as football stadiums so if you're in the lower level you pay a lot...

headed to South Florida in early March for hockey tourney. flying into West Palm Beach but base for the weekend will be Coral Springs. rented mini-van at our disposal. any must-visit food places in Fort Lauderdale/Miami areas?

Any cool places to visit in Georgia? Going to the Masters in April and looking to explore Georgia the weekend before. Only thing on my list is Creature Comforts Brewery in Athens. Looking to raise hell, so any fun places? Athens in general is a great town. in the Summer it's pretty dead because mos...

very cool of them to do this. the rinks in my town could never do this since as soon as the local teenagers found out they'd be drinking in the locker rooms and vandalizing stuff just because they can and their rich parents will pay for whatever damage they do.

He's German. It's written into all their contracts that they have to wear Grafs. the T blades are German not the skates. Graf is a Canadian company. as you can see from the picture Seidenberg is wearing Bauer skates. T Blades can be put on any skate. most Graf skates come with the Cobra holder thou...

Somehow I feel like my college playing days are behind me. Way behind me. ;) If Bauer's midrange skate can't hold up to my basic needs then I'm switching brands anyway. Will probably look at Graf's for the arch support that was mentioned. yes, but your beer league career is ahead of you for decades...

Has anyone been to Colombia....specifically Cartagena? If so, any thoughts?

so glad you spelled it correctly......

I'll take my chances. I have Bauer Vapor x40R inline skates which were $120 and they've exceeded expectations. I'm hoping a few more years of development and going up the ladder a few rungs in the X500 will be adequate. If I actually join a league again and play multiple times a week I'd look at th...

Sid would have declined anyway. Probably. Maybe. You can't decline. You get "barred" from playing the next game otherwise. Crosby and Datsyuk were "barred" 1 game for citing injury that one year. http://triblive.com/sports/penguins/7634798-74/game-star-crosby#axzz3wTMJ0aHx this lends credence to my...

actually since I love a good conspiracy theory, how about the possibility that Sid was sucking on purpose so that he wouldn't be selected for the all star game? uh-huh. all makes sense now, doesn't it?

anything less than $300 on skates (unless you're buying an older new pair off of Ebay) is not going to be a "good" skate. in the end it depends on how often you play and how hard you are on your skates. I have friends who go through a pair every couple of years but I can get 5+ years out of a pair s...
