New Skates

I payed a visit to Perani's in Livonia, MI while I was in Detroit working at Motorcity Casino this week. I ended up getting last years model of NikeBauers One90. They really fit differently which I hope is going to be something positive for once with skates.

The sales guy said they fit more like the traditional supremes did. That's what I need; something with traditional feel. Bauer 3 & 4000's were the best skates I've ever worn. Going back to something similar to that should be great. Now I just need some roller blades too.

Penguins Fans???

I pull up to Motorcity Casino to check into the hotel and I see a bunch of people wearing Pittsburg Penguins jerseys out and about around the place. It's hard to believe that these people don't realize that the Illitch family owns Motorcity.

Yeah, you guys, you're helping the Red Wings' players get a raise. Do your homework next time you're coming to town for the game and need a place to stay. Sheesh.

Holy ShNikes...

So has everyone seen the price of a set of Bauer One95's. All I can say is holy shit.

I remember the first time I ever payed $200 for a pair of skates. I believe it was 1993 and even then there was a feeling of guilt that was overwhelming. $650 is the craziest shit I have ever heard. Looks like I'm going to have a tough decision of which skate company to overpay for a set of skates this summer. Damn!

Nice Fight!

Pretty self explanatory I think...

Back to skating

I have my first assignments of the year coming up this weekend. It is Peewee Travel hockey weekend in Decatur, AL. I have 5 games to work especially the 630am game on Sunday. I really love the early game let me tell you.

I missed out on the seminar a few weekends back. They changed the date I thought it was going to be and I ended up having to work that day. I went thru the open book test the other night giving all of the answers that I am confident in and it didn't seem as bad as years in the past. I guess we'll know once I go back over it and submit it for a score.
