Go Pens! They have the potential to be the next mini-dynasty.

I use to hate the Devils. However, after a couple of Sioux players found their way on to the roster (Parise, Zajac), I found myself watching them more and enjoyed the style they play.

I love watching the Wild play. Great atmosphere at the Excel Energy center and a lot of passionate fans. Their future looks good so I am excited to see them compete for the next couple of years. Oh yeah, lets not forget my SIOUX!!!

Soon, obviously. Well, if the 2009 season is soon...

Go Habs!!! What, no other Canadiens fans out there? I think Bob Gainey and his level approach is taking them in the right direction; though it was quite disturbing to see Briere pass up more $ from Montreal to go to Philly (all the more reason for me to hate the Flyers:)

I also play in a winter league, and play every Friday night in the summer with a bunch of guys who just want to get out for a skate and a few beers afterward.

Must be kind of tough being so close to Buffalo...do you cheer even just a little for the Sabres? They had a good season last year, may do it again if they get a captain that can lead them.

don't hate the Orange & Black baby, Holgrem is a great salesman, Daniel knew if he wanted to play for a winner that that is no other then the Flyers....accept last season what other franchise has had 15 straight winning seasons.....with all of the moves we've made, playoffs are a lock......ooh and by the way, I saw where the Pens made Captain Crybaby their Captain...now the name fits to a bill....

Hell no! They're in another STATE! God, that'd be like cheering for the Bills or the Indians or the frickin' BROWNS fer crissakes!!!

I like Pittsburgh sports teams. When they're out of the playoffs, I stop watching. It's also convenient that I don't care about basketball and Pittsburgh doesn't have an NBA team.

LOL, I understand. Though in Michigan, the entire Upper Peninsula is made up of cheese heads (GB Packer fans) and in NW Ohio many are Wolverine, Tiger, Piston and Wing fans.

A new rink for the Pens to play on would be awesome. Right now they have a pond compared to Heinz Field and PNC Park(easily the nicest field w/ the worst team)

They'll be lucky to make the playoffs this year. Good thing the Sabres have strong goaltending. They mis-managed the Briere and Drury situation, paid too much for Vanek and are lacking a true leader.


I went to a fighting sioux game with my hockey team last year, and the fans are amazing, all the college kids are crazy and its just a fun time. the Arena is amazing. Where i live in Winnipeg there are no NHL teams, but i think there is a possibility of one coming here. Although it would prob leave after 5 years.

    • You are not wrong. The shaft and the head together both contribute to the performance of the club. I'd also suggest that they contribute in different amounts depending upon whether we are comparing a driver, an iron or a wedge. (We could argue all day about how much is the head and how much is the shaft... and I would enjoy the argument.) Having said that, in order for a youtuber or anyone else for that matter to completely optimize the club and then hit it in comparison to another completely optimized club is all but impossible. Just one of the many reasons why all club tests should be taken with a generous pinch of salt.  Not only that but even in robot testing there are variables that are outside the areas of control. I've personally been lucky enough to witness robot testing first had. It's fascinating how non-repeatable the results can be. Let me elaborate. With an 7 or 8 iron the robot can land balls over and over again in an area the size of a kiddie pool. However, when the testers moved away from a 7 or 8 iron, the results got less and less precise. Interestingly it didn't matter if they went up or down the bag. With the robot hitting short pitches and even chips, relatively, more variation than full short iron shots. Similarly, long drives with the robot created more variation as well. This is without the effects of wind, variations in the surface and texture of where the ball lands etc...  In addition, this doesn't take into account possible bias, either consciously or unconsciously of the tester. The testers I got to witness (these happened to by Taylormade guys, but I'm sure it doesn't matter), confessed that they could influence the results if they wanted to. They could take two clubs and make either of them "win" with robot testing if they wanted to. They made to the point to illustrate that in their job they had to constantly make sure they were fighting bias and/or putting in double checks, but never-the-less when I now read about any testing saying X club is 7 yards longer, I think back to their statement.  So, if it's that difficult to get really good results out of a robot imagine how difficult it is to get quantifiable results out of a human swinging a club.  Here's a fun test to try. Hit your driver 10 times on a launch monitor and gather the data (You can do 20 or 30 swings it doesn't matter). Now group the data into 2 sets, the odd numbered swings and the even numbered swings. Look at your two data sets. I guarantee that one data set will look "better" than the other. Even though, it's the same person swinging the same club on the same day. But if you just happened to be testing a driver against your driver on that day, Even if you gather your data by switching back and forth between the two drivers you may get misleading results. I've done this test a few times in my life and it's interesting to see how the "odd numbered me" or the "even numbered me" always produces different results, sometimes one will win by a large margin.  In summary, I too enjoy watching reviews of the new clubs that come out, especially drivers. But it is information not data.

    • Something I’ve been thinking about. I watch a lot of club tests, retired and get up way too early, and there’s something I think in my opinion might be being done wrong. They might pick several drivers, could be something different, and use the same shaft so things will be equal. In my mind a shaft might be good in one club and not in another. Learned the hard way, had my best ever driver at the time, G410, and kept hearing about how great the G425 MAX was. Since I sometimes have trouble finding senior shafts we traded heads and the 410 shaft never seemed to work out in the 425 head for me. Wasn’t as straight or as long so I have moved on. Don’t think everyone was wrong about the G425, just think that combination maybe didn’t work for me.
