Don't two-hand my arm while I'm covering up in the crease 30 seconds after the whistle has blown. :mad:

When I was a kid I was "Always going for the strong two handed poke check." Any damage to the back of the knee was incidental.

When I was twelve I got banged up from a cheap mask (and some hotshot Canadian fourteen year old that was six two :argh: ). Medical bills and a loss of a job meant I was done playing hockey until I played a few pickup games when I was sixteen, and twice since then. I could have been the second Dallas resident NHL Goalie prospect!

Get a good mask, you can always afford your health, and to keep playing!

Painting the mask in the back yard, and the pole I had dug into the ground toppled over. Not to mention I had just mowed the lawn :smithicide:

My white mask is now decidedly grassy :haw:

Martytoof, rock the grass mask.

DO IT!

Every muscle that attaches my thighs to my hip feels like it's on fire. Hooray not doing any real stretching for two years, then playing pick-up ball hockey with borrowed pads. Jesus ow.

I've been going to local Deck hockey (poor people) and Floorball (we have a Nokia campus) workouts/scrimmages around here. I think I'm going to pick up a league sport again for the first time since 1998! I'd play ice, but the last league fee I was quoted was close to $1500 a season. Yikes.

I expect smoking a pack a day to be a hinderance, but if Zubov can do it I can do it.
