Did I tell you the adventure of my hockey stick after my injury?

Got it back on Thursday almost 2 months after.


.ps: it's actually not a very good or particularly interesting story so make sure you answer this in a way I don't have to write it out.

Yes although he got it with about a week left in the season so he didn't use it this year. I didn't want to cut it.

He went with the ribcor McDavid curve.

he'll love the ribcor. he may need time to adjust to the mcdavid curve. it's slightly a different shooting technique

so the night I got hurt, the rink took my gear bag and kept it on the side along with my stick.

a few days later mrs. dt went to the rink to get my gear and my car which had stayed in the parking lot. She was accompanied by her brother so she could drive my car back home.

It's worth mentioning here that she HATES driving my car and since her and her brother will usually find the absolutely most complicated way of getting anything done, I can only assume that it never even crossed their minds to have him drive the truck back and her his car since it would have been too simple.


anyway the phone conversation went like this when she called me from the rink in her usual state of panic


(all the bro-in-law comments are just screaming in the background)


dt: hello

mrs. dt: OMG OMG OK WHICH STICK IS IT?!?!? OMG OMG

dt: it's a black and white Easton S19 with an Aucoin curve.

mrs. dt: OMG A WHAT?!?!!? WHAT COLOUR?!?!?!

dt: black Easton S19 with an Aucoin curve.

bro-in-law: NO WORRIES I'LL FIND IT NO WORRIES!!!!!!!!

dt: you found it?

mrs. dt: OMG RELAX THERE'S LIKE A MILLION STICKS HERE OMG OMG OMG

dt: ok ok

bro-in-law: DON'T WORRY DAN NO PROBLEM WE GOT IT

...

bro-in-law: WHAT'S THE CURVE AGAIN!?!?!?!?

dt: Aucoin

mrs. dt: WHO?!?!?! WHAT?!?!?!? WHAT'S THAT?!?!?!?

dt: the curve... just tell your brother it's the curve it's written at the top

bro-in-law: NO WORRIES DAN I GOT THIS NO WORRIES.







anyway this went on for like 10 minutes until I didn't really want the stick anymore but a couple of weeks ago when I was finally able to move around again I looked in the back of the truck and pulled out a black and white S19, about a foot too short with a zetterberg curve.

last week I had to go back to that rink for my kid so I brought it back and asked if they had another one. they looked around and couldn't find it.

the lady from the rink took my name down in this old notepad and said they'd call if they found it which I interpreted as meaning dude your stick is gone get lost. I left the other one there since it was useless.


anyway to my surprise, two days later the lady calls back and says yeah we found your stick next time you;re here this is where I'll leave it.

last thursday I was there again and a guy I know who works there walks up and says hey your stick is still here and he gave it back to me.

he'll love the ribcor. he may need time to adjust to the mcdavid curve. it's slightly a different shooting technique

he did miss training camp with a bum knee last season if you remember well.


in all fairness though that Pacioretty-Vesey fight was basically Lecavalier vs. Iginla Stanley Cup Final stuff...

really inspiring.

They're basically in purgatory like the St Louis Blues and we'll probably be having this same conversation at this time of the year for the next 50 years.

At least Weber will only have a few more years left on his deal by then

The march to the Stanley Cup continues.

Carey price has a good 6 years left in them. Habs plan is to just ride him and hope he can steal you 16 games. They have no other plan. It's becoming quite apparent.

Purgatory, yes. That's the word.

Hey! Welcome to Purgatory. You're gonna love it here. We've been here for 5 years now and I couldn't be happier. Missing the playoffs, deeming first round exits a successful season, hoping your team drafts a certain player then watching him get taken 5 spots earlier. It's really great. Really really great. So great.
