Yeah i love to skate too, i'm happy to just get out on the ice and skate for hours. For the summer it's roller blades/inline skates, we have a 4-5k no-vehicle-loop at the end of the street so i do that three times. There use to be an unused, empty parking lot nearby that you could work on turning and backwards skating, has a slope so you go down forwards and up it skating backwards... hockey season rolls around and you're ready!

Man that sounds awesome! Last summer I grabbed a pair of Alkali inline skates and was heading to the park almost daily. But now we are on a dirt road with no place to skate within walking distance. Hoping to get into town at least once a week to skate a little bit. Probably the same night as open jam. A bit of hockey and a bit of jamming out sounds like a great night. Lol

Hockey is a blast to play and playing ball hockey on the road, in a gym, wherever is as much fun, maybe more, don't have to worry about that minor detail of moving around on skates. Great fun!

Yeah man! I do enjoy the skating aspect though. I used to roller blade when I was a kid so the switch to ice wasn't that bad. I mean by no means am I an excellent skater but I noticed I didn't fall down as much as last winter. 😎

Rangers are going to Round Two!!!

So either the Capitals or the Islanders. Looking like the Caps at the moment. But who knows it is the playoffs.

Damn Rej! That is a rough one to take. Sorry Man!

5th game tonight against the Sens... in MTL. Should be interesting as the Sens have gained a lot in confidence in the last game....

All 4 games have been closed.  Could have gone either way.  I'm a Sens fan (grew up in Ottawa).  If the Sens don't win, I want Montreal to win the Stanley Cup and bring the cup back to Canada, where it belongs.  Great hockey.

But 4 of the original 6 are from U.S. cities!
Rangers are going to finish off the Pens tonight! (Hopefully) 😉

Regardless of who wins the Cup...
... Cough...Rangers...Cough
There is a lot of amazing hockey being played.

I guess the question would be with the NHL original six, how many non-Canadians were even playing anywhere in the league?

Wow I knew that the majority were Canadian but that graph is is an amazing representation!
It makes me wish hockey was bigger here. I remember I was a kid in South Carolina when the Whalers moved from Hartford and became the Hurricanes. I also remember laughing and thinking "what's a hockey team doing in the south there's no ice here." Lol
Fast forward to now living in central New York and having actual winters and ponds to play on I don't know how I lived my life before hockey. It is the ultimate team sport.

Man this isles- caps game is getting embarrassing for the islanders. 5-1 caps. So much for my hopes of a Rangers-Islanders second round.

Yeah I thought the habs were going to sweep the Ottawa series.

We just won so 3-1 in the series. Hopefully we can finish them off Friday at MSG.

See you in the eastern conference finals again Rej. 😉
That is a pretty killer habs jersey (sweater) Btw.

I'm hoping for a Rangers-Islanders series! Gotta finish off these "Dirty Birds" first though.

Herbs when you pronounce the "H" which isn't pronounced WITH the "H"

Growing up we used to call people "herbs" pronouncing the h. Meaning uncool or being a dick.
Now we smoke herbs and it's all good. 😄😜✌️lol

I'm not sure I see the harm here.

They are selling fake band shirts to fake fans. No harm done, eh?

Well when you put it like that!

Richard

Phaser or vibe would be the obvious one. I've often thought about putting a delay in a wah shell and using the treadle for the time pot as a sort of warp/detune, not sure how that would work.

I think I would wire the feedback pot so you could go from a repeat or two to dub style oscillation with the pedal.

Richard

Yeah I saw them with clutch. Loud is an understatement.

It is definitely sad to see a large corporate entity try to exploit the metal scene like this. Most of the bands in the scene are just scraping by.
Richard

Man you guys get all the good expo shows on the west coast. Well I guess NYC gets them as well but that's like a 3 hour drive with traffic. Middle of nowhere problems.
If you go have a good time.

Awesome! I really like those.

It reminds me that I could use some kind of wall art myself.

No problem.
