Kruppstahl Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Sweet goal. Definitely a defensive break down. Reminded me a bit of "May Day". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cereal Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 NYI manage only 11 shots in Game 7. What's with the skates?  They seem to shed blades easily these days. Yeah I feel like I've never seen that before this year, and seen it two or three times now...?  Tampa gets a 5th goal.  This baby goes to Game 7. So... can the NHL give us a start date for Round 2 games now??? Was the uncertainty of TB-DET really holding them back from deciding when to start the West? Well, maybe.

I think these new skates have pop-out blades for quick changes rather than filing an edge in the heat of battle.  Something isn't ironed out there and they seem to fall out easily.  Kind of like these sticks.  I've said for a long time that defenders on the PK should use wooden sticks, if they can find someone who still makes them!  Not sure about Round 2 start time.  No updates as of yet.

Plus on the Bauers they're using "Fusion Steel" which is aluminum bonded to steel to make the blade lighter. I don't know what that does to the durability but I can't imagine it's better than just a solid piece of stainless. The new Tuuk's Bauer is putting on all their skates is a brilliant system. There can be defects, like anything, but overall it works very well. That trigger is super convenient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Crotch Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Should be in the 18-21 range with the loss tonight.  Realistically, I think it'll be 20th or 21st. We also have pick #31. I think we also have the Isles' second round pick too. Time for our scouts to earn their pay.

Kruppstahl Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Gotcha. Thanks :beer: No problem.  We have to see what happens with Calgary, Detroit, and Minnesota and who advances to conference finals.  The pick would go from 21 (now) to 18-20 depending on how things play out.  Not a bad draft slot, but not certain to net anyone special either.  Still a lot better than a kick in the teeth though!  :beer: The problem is that blades are a lot harder now in order to hold an edge, but that also makes them more brittle.

LTS Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Hey SabreSpace,someone set me straight. Is it Zidlicky? Or Shed-lit-ski? Â My understanding is that it should be Zhid-litch-key. Â But I'm definitely not an expert on these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Hey SabreSpace,someone set me straight. Is it Zidlicky? Or Shed-lit-ski?  Zid lits kee.  In the Slavic languages, the C is pronounced like "TS" which is why you see czar spelled as tsar once in a while - the C is transliterated as a TS. My surname (Polish) is like that - ends in -cki and usually the last syllable is pronounced KEE, but in Polish it is pronounced TSKEE.
