So yesterday was the 40th anniversary of the Miracle on Ice, Ovechkin scored his 700th goal to become the 8th person in history to reach that milestone, but the biggest story of the night was about a 42 year old zamboni driver:

The big thing is that you don't really watch the puck, you watch the skaters. Once you get used to it, you'll know exactly where the puck is because the skater will be clearly handling it or a goalie

The NHL will pause the 2019-20 regular season due to the concerns of the coronavirus, the League announced...

 

They’re probably worried that Brad Marchand will spread it around the league by licking everyone 😜

Yup!

The should just award the cup to the team with the most points now. But Marchand would probably lick the cup too!

I guarantee he wouldn't be the first to do that.

That's a terrible idea. 

Besides the idea of Marchand spreading his cooties everywhere, you got historical precedent for not naming a champion. See the 1919 spanish flu situation.

   I hope the season can be salvaged.  My team makes the playoffs only every twelve or fifteen years, so you have to grasp the opportunities when they arrive

I’m ok with it. My team isn’t playing for anything other than pride and development at this point.

They’re giving me the option to take the remaining tickets on my partial season plan and apply credit towards tickets for next season, which I elected to do rather than wait to see if I can make it out to the rescheduled games.

Eh, my hockey team is in 1st place and they happened to win the Stanley Cup last June.  I grew up in St. Louis.  And the college basketball team I follow out here on the west coast is ranked #2... so I won't get to follow either through the championships.  That's marginally okay... I still have golf.

My Rangers were not going to win the Cup this year. They really had less than a 50/50 shot at making the playoffs. But they were a really fun group to watch. I was able to see them twice in person in the last month, and I was looking forward to the rest of the season but the next one will be here soon enough.

My old but trusty bag is filled with clubs I built...Integra SoooLong 450 10.5°, Jackaroo II 13* 16* 23*  hybrids, Dynacraft irons and wedges...plus a sweet Tad Moore Peach putter.

   It was a very different feel to last nights exhibition games.   I miss the noise the most, but the empty arenas seem somewhat creepy.

 

  Anyhoo, I'm glad the Oilers beat the Flames, even if the goalies had to bail the team out after the let off the gas after the first period.

Was scanning the channels last night and saw Penguins v. Flyers (New). Wondered for a minute and then figured they had screwed up. Didn't realize till this morning that it really was a live game.

Kind of a NHL news desert around here.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By ConorHealy · Posted

      Day 20: 2026.01.22 Hit about twenty balls at the range. Quietly pleased with how the changes are bedding in, surprsingly consistent ball flight. Hoping to film over the weekend to capture new movement.

      Looking for a Possible Equipment Switch

      By WUTiger · Posted

      You might also consider a tune-up lesson. Check and see if anything in your set-up or basic swing is holding you back. I have been playing for more than five decades, but on occasion I've had to make swing tweaks due to age, loss of flexibility, etc. You don't have to reinvent your swing. A couple of static set-up changes might really help out.

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)
