some families don't have 200$. I also never had gear that cost that little, even when i was not in nets. Full goalie gear will cost above 2k. You can't even get a decent pair of skates for less than 200, and it is important not to wear skates, because breaking your legs,foot, ankle is very easy and not too fun.
Add to this that ice time will cost in the very least a few hundred a year, not counting tournament expenses.
Makes soccer a much easier choice no?
I hate graphite sticks. |
I totally agree, hockey is by far the most expensive sport out there. I didnt play goalie but I remember the pads, even 10 years ago, would be like $1500 just for the leg pads. Goalies are the exception to what I said before. :p
But yea, skates are murder, the Graf's I want are $450, which is crazy, but its worth it, they will last forever. |

graphite sticks break a lot easier than wood;)
unless a team is buying them for you, not worth it. |

They obviously do, but the engineering is sick, and youre paying that money for something that weighs almost nothing. |

he is a good player, and he does lead the league in scoring right now if i am not mistaken...but i have a feeling he will defect to russia and no one will care. The KHL will lure many russians into making less than they are worth. I just find it silly that a player who has not had a full season to his credit (aka: a fragile with talent) would make comments about a small guy that puts up a fight like crosby does. |
LOL
crosby is a , a whiner, a diver, and not small. if it wasn't for captain jew turning the nhl into the national crosby league, he'd be just another above average player. what semin means (at least what i think) is that there are a bunch of other players in the league that have actually won something that don't get half the coverage he does. a great example was last year when ovechkin basically did everything for the caps in the last half of the season and they make the playoffs on the last days. now if that had been crosby, we would still be hearing about it, but we don't. we don't even hear about his boyfriend's fluke season last year because it wasn't crosby. |

Until you can write somewhat of a coherent sentence, i don't think anyone really cares what you think here. :)
Much love,
Frenchie (who can actually speak English)

You forgot about Whitney also.
You seriously think its that easy to replace Gonchar? |
one fluke season doesn't make you irreplaceable |
|

| Vlad |
lol... I love people who think they know it all, talk about people and try to bring people down.
Crosby is amazing, lets end it at that.
And I never said Whitney is irreplaceable, but he is a big part of that defense.
Now, onto the big boy conversation that Jay, LEN, vern and myself are having...
Whos gonna be the surprise team this year? |

25 might not be enough, because Backstrom is a good goalie, unless of course the D just sits back and lets SJ just skate right around them.

Getting shots off hasnt been a problem. SJ is averaging over 30 shots a game (as high as 50)....its just up to how many see the net. |

Oh I know that... SJ is an offensive beast, even their defense is aggressive, but Backstrom is definitely no slouch. |

Uh...sharks. If they can get past the 2nd round...Im surprised:toothless
Im not sure who will finish strong and make a surprise showing. Im trying to watch as much hockey from other teams as I can. I havent really found a team that I have a "secret crush" on. I need to watch a few more weeks to see if a team really starts to appeal to me. |

Yea, after I asked the question, I had a feeling it might be too soon to be picking a sleeper. Although I will say that I have a crush on Chicago, I just wish they would give Huet a chance to take over, Khabibulin is so 1999. |
