Keep your stick on the ice!! :D

You really should post a pic of your helmet. It is cool! :cool:

well Joe asked for it....this is one of the most favourite things I own....long story short worked with a guy that airbrushed alot and he wanted to try a helmet...so I gave him mine and said "have at it"......I think it is very original....one of a kind....I love it....its dinged up a bit....I take a few to the mind....maybe thats why I am a goaltender :D:D:D

ok well I have dug up all my stuff....its out on the deck airing out....it needs it....lol.....hope all goes well tonight.

I love the stink of well-used hockey equipment...takes me back to the days of my youth.:cool:

btw- hope the cadaver you got that ACL from was a flexible person during their life...if they weren't, I'd be careful and probably wouldn't drop down into too many butterflies.:eek::D:D Just go standup style- ya know, old time hockey...;)

I hit the ice at 5:30 tonight, Muff.

First ice since the end of April ( we usually go into May but those darn IIHF hockey teams used up all the ice times:D).

I was at the neuro surgeon today about some neck issues and he's sending me off for an MRI...He kind'a rolled his eyes :rolleyes: when I told him I was going to play, but he didn't say I couldn't !...so I'm goin' ta !!

I am so-o-o-o looking forward to it ! Greatest stress relief of all...

Bob:)

You're lucky !!:rolleyes:

It felt like the ice was tilted against me whichever way I was headed all night too !!...and ya know what that means:confused:...I had to skate UPhill all night !!:D

I didn't mind the hill too much when we were on the offensive...but, man, it was real steep on the backcheck !!:D

"Goalie...yer on yer own !!"

Bob:D
