EQ30 Zetterberg 75 flex broke in one game (lol) by cracking at the heel. Send in warranty claim and don't get anything back. So I wait over a week and check in -- they ship from Utah so even with Christmas it should be here by now. "Well it was approved for replacement, however we won't have an EQ30s in 75 flex until April. Do you want an 85 flex?" "Well, the point of me getting this stick was to try the 75 flex, I'd like to keep that flex" "Ok we'll send you an EQ50 grip 75 flex instead." 209 dollar stick in exchange for a 59.99 EQ30 stick + ground shipping for the replacement. No managers to call, guy on the phone couldn't have been more helpful and was empowered to dispatch the correct stick. That's how you handle customer service. Thanks Easton!

Counterpoint: Is a $209 stick that will be marked down 50% in a little over a year really worth it?

Wow that is incredible customer service. I haven't tried my EQ30 yet but I should in a couple of weeks. For science!

WouldDesk posted:Also "tucks in jersey" The back of my jersey tucks into my pants. It's the same as how Malkin has his jersey. I don't mind it, but I've had refs ask me what my number was because they couldn't read it properly. Oh, and last night I scored probably my best beer league goal yet. I blocked a clearing attempt, passed it to the D, who returned the puck and skated right in front of me, I waited a half second, fired and beat the goalie top shelf blocker side. I'm actually starting to feel a bit more confident in my game these days. Just feeling good out there on the skates, not exhausted and spent by the third period. trilljester fucked around with this message at 20:29 on Dec 12, 2011 |

I got a mirrored visor, yellow laces, a purple helmet and bright pink gloves. And I tuck in my jersey on one side (but this is because my arm gets caught in it if I don't). Sup?

One of the guys brought his 4 year old kid to the pick-up game this weekend and we skated 5.5-on-5. The kid had as many shots on goal as I did....

Well, it turns out I got a bench minor for explaining what interference was to the ref this weekend. Seriously, you look at the game differently once you're a coach.

Henrik Zetterberg posted:Up 1-0 almost the whole game. I take a shot from one of the circles, the puck gets stuck IN the goalie's leg pad, she falls backward, her leg goes into the net completely over the line. About 5 seconds later, the whistle is blown, the ref indicates a goal, but then changes it to no goal, even though the puck falls out of her leg pad as she stands up. The one that was just in the goddamn net. Oh hey, I may as well just empty quote this because it happened again this week. Puck in goalie pads, goalie in net, then whistle. No goal. Same ref too. I swear this guy has a raging boner for, well... boning us.

I honestly loved my blue visor, more clarity. I'm using a smoked visor now, but its a very light tint, we play in a really bright arena. I also own a mirrored visor but I havent used it it years (bought it for outdoor roller hockey)

Dangerllama posted:Tinted visors are just silly, steezy outfit or not. Though the fairer sex get a pass on things like pink hockey accoutrements. At a drop in game, I was sitting next to a guy on the bench with pink stick and blade tape. I had skated with this guy before and I knew he was pretty good. The random guy next to him opened his mouth and started to chirp him about the pink saying only fags and girls should be allowed to use pink tape. "My mom died of breast cancer and it was for a BC benefit game"  Words couldn't describe the degree of that verbal bitch slapping. The bench got really quiet with the occasional chuckle and under the breath "douchebag"s EDIT Im not certain the story was true or not but the delivery was pretty sincere. Also not the kind of guy who would rock pink for no reason. Either way, hopefully it taught the dude a lesson. Verman fucked around with this message at 22:58 on Dec 12, 2011 |

Haha, what a douche. Wonder if that was the truth or if he made it up on the fly. Either way the guy chirping is a douche. Also, that blue visor...it's gotta go.

Visors in general are silly because of the protection issue. Without a "money is no object" level of insurance that pro players get, wearing anything other than a full cage is begging for trouble.

Saw a guy's nose literally spurt blood on Friday from taking a puck to to the face (he was wearing a visor). Amazingly it didn't appear to be broken, but he was going to need at least a dozen stitches. There was blood all over the neutral zone. Alas, I figure everyone over 18 can make their own decisions about risk-tolerance. But I'm ugly enough without facial injuries so I rock a cage.

That's an immediate 0.5 point/game boost as well as +5 to skating speed. I only get +3 to skating speed for matching jersey, gloves and stick tape:   Although I guess you could make the argument that broken TotalOne also matches, giving me the quadfecta as well.

There were too many cases of calls that could be made that maybe shouldn't be. Too many situations where I either set the precedence to call everything or little. So much goes on in a game. Plus, breaking up fights isn't much fun. I didn't ref for too long.
