Subban is a beast. I'd like to see him clean up his game, though. It's disappointing for me to see superstars play dirty. I feel like, with their talent, they should be above that stuff.

He's not dirty anymore. He makes clean hits.

Not just the hits, which I do have to give him credit for improving, but he still has penchant for embellishment: diving, holding someone's stick to fake being held, stuff like that. Some people consider it gamesmanship, but I am not one of those people. It's not like he's the only one in the league that does it. He just happens to be the guy I'm watching right now.

At the game right now. 7th row, Center Ice. 5-4 HABS, shots are 24-16 in the HABS favour. 20 minutes of regulation remaining. Atmosphere in the Bell Center is intense. Tons of hot chicks too!

Glad the Habs won.  It is not like I am a Habs fan, but Montreal is Boston's sister city and NYC is not!  Plus @Ernest Jones will be Mr Smiley :-) for another day or too, which is better than Mr. Frowny Face, :cry:

Glad Montreal won, too, but because I hate the Rags. I also like being able to tell my friends "you still have '94..."

Bye Bye HABS. Thanks for the exciting run. See you next season (well not Murrey, Vanek and Parros). I hope they keep Dale Weise and Mike Weaver. Solid additions.

Well, the LA Kings appear to be snakebit now...Since I'm a lifelong BLACKHAWKS fan, I foresee another trip to the Finals for the Indian heads. The momentum has DEFINITELY turned back in Chicago's favor. Heck, even Keith Jones of NBCSN predicts a Blackhawk victory on Sunday. Anyone think differently?

Regardless of what happens, I'm still pulling for the Kings. After working on Rob Blake's home, and meeting all of his pro hockey buddies, by the way, some of The nicest guys you'd ever want to meet, I'm a life long Kings fan. May the best team win.

I'm watching my first hockey game in twenty years (on TV). Clearly I'm not a fair weather Rangers fan or anything :-P

Wait. Where's Jeff Beukeboom? Adam Graves? Mike Gartner? Sergei Nemchinov? Did Alexi Kovalev change his number or something? I'm very confused right now.

    • Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down. 
    • Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner. 
    • Day 78 - 2026-03-10 Backswing work at the net with foam balls, a few real ball swings.
    • Day 525 - 2026-03-10 Got some work in before lessons today (was going to play after but it decided to POUR). Then like three minutes in later on.
    • Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
