Oh, jeez, yes, absolute legend.  I don't remember his Red Wings days, before my time.  But I was a die-hard Hartford Whalers fan, and the WHA's New England Whalers before that.  

When Howe joined, he legitimized the team, even though he was in his late 40's or maybe even early 50s.  His sons, Mark and Marty also played for the Whalers, Mark was actually pretty good.

Another of my childhood heroes gone.  Rest in peace Gordie.

Mr. Hockey in the Detroit area.   Rough, tough and very personable.   Hockeytown (Detroit) and all of the world's hockey community will miss him.  

From the land of perpetual cloudiness.   I'm Denny

My favorite team's big rival in the old days. 

Would love to have a time machine and go back to see the Production Line take on Maurice Richard and the Habs.

Truly one of the all time greats.  Was too young to appreciate the old guy as a kid during the twilight of his career, but his numbers and his reputation will never be forgotten.

      Golf Workouts

      By Pablo Quintero · Posted

      Hey, thanks for the feedback. I do lift weights but I’m also adding yoga or Pilates for mobility and flexibility to my routine.

      Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.

      Maintaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By Mystique · Posted

      It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.

      Golf Workouts

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
