  1. I would think it is. So many people think more is better but as with many things in life - less is more. When I'm done I get around 12-15 sets total. I would also think anything more than that is dumb unless you're a body builder, or something. I banged out several sets on incline dumbbells with 115 last night so I'd say I kind of know what I'm talking about. That is more than what you'll see from most people at your casual gym. Which reminds me to ask, how is everyone else feeling combining heavy sets and lighter sets together? If I did 115 incline press for 6,7,6 and then 80 for 10 x 3, is that too big of a drop in weight just to get 10 reps? I don't know if I suck at doing higher reps or if its all in my head.
  2. I use them for just about everything now
  3. Anyway, the Wild suck. They'll probably get swept. Any team that allows as many goals as they score doesn't have a hope in hell.
  4. You could be literally the worst coach in the world, the system isn't the reason for 20+ game goalless droughts. That's on the player. It at least has to be on the player at some point otherwise when are they ever held accountable for blowing chunks?
  5. He does deserve one more season at least. The fact so many players had epic goal droughts can't be blamed on his style after a while. And of course this is ultimately why we missed the playoffs.
  6. That TSN hockey night intro is so unrealistic. It shows Henrik shooting. C'mon guys..

  7. So stupid. Two large assignments due last week. Finals 3 days straight at the beginning of this week. Time to actually study: none. Whoever schedules this needs to pull their head out of their ass.

      By far the worst day imaginable? I'd say getting set on fire would be far worse, but that's just me.

      No kidding. I dealt with this crap too. Fri, Sat, Sunday, Tuesday. Only did well because I averaged two hours of sleep a night. The slumber I'm about to go into will satisfy all my deepest darkest pleasures.

      @ HYD

      Don't they have options for situations like that where they make you take a different final the next day?

  8. There's quite a few teams just as old as us or older.. The twins are "old". That's about it..
  9. Dat Frankie Corrado. Is he Luongo's son or just a much younger brother?

      I know right, twins!

  10. Man what the hell is wrong with Edler. -6 over past 3 games, almost -40 on the season. We're better off not even dressing him - total liability.
  11. ONE TIMER FROM THE POINT ISN'T GOING TO WORK UNLESS YOU'RE SHEA WEBER, CHARA OR SOMEONE PARKS THEIR ASS IN FRONT OF THE NET
  12. Doesn't mean not shooting was the better option, lol
  13. lol Booth too busy watching the puck so Petry gets away no problem and scores. And Henrik has got to be the only person in the NHL who would be at the inner left portion of the face off circle and passes it instead.
  14. Bruins fans every other season: omg president trophy sucks who cares"

      I wished players would celebrate it more. It's a helluva accomplishment. A recognition of dominance and consistency. Take the time to enjoy it..

    3. Brad Marchand

      Theoretically, yes.

      But for many, it's a useless trophy that holds no meaning because it isn't the Stanley Cup.

  15. Can we stop talking about Iggy and Calamari playing here like that's a distinct possibility.
  16. lol watch him go off the board with our top ten pick.
  17. Why Feaster? He wouldn't even acknowledge the Flames weren't contenders for about 3 seasons. That right there is a long term, serious error in judgment that will break a team for many more seasons to come.
  18. Boom! k, so who replaces him? Firing Gillis is only half the job.
  19. Hopefully this will deter this stupid friggin notion that because someone is from the province that they will play well for this team. That is often the rationale behind trading or drafting "BC boys". That is poor reasoning. Garrison hasn't sucked but he hasn't been very good either and he's certainly not that 15 goal, 50 point monster like people were making him out to be just because he's from White Rock.
