Absolutely, all the time.

We would eventually lose all our pucks on the bras dor lake in the snow banks when a puck would go awry and we had to improvise...................the frozen cod fish heads got pushed into service on a regular basis.

Can never beat those days, they were gold.
Probably the last thing that cod expected to become when he started his day.

I still have Gretzky pattern Titan sticks in my garage rafters... leftovers from my junior hockey...

Banged all the hell up... no end in sight...

Composite is a corporate boondoggle...

Hockey Canada should outlaw them until bantam and only allowed for bantam elite...

What’s funny is that the cheaper the composite stick, the more durable it is. The more expensive it is, the easier it breaks. The trade off it that while your stick is better, it’s going to snap like a twig after a small period of use.

Never used composite so I wouldn't know...

But never saw the carnage at all levels as sticks break all over the place constantly...

Criminal really...

Weren't they Finnish? Probably made of fish. I loved my Titans too....still can't believe Brett Hull called them crap

Didn't Brett use Christian Bros. during his pro career... ?

And Gretzky was a rival with a ridiculous lie in tight on those Titans... had to be able to keep your head up at all times... steep...

Hull was just being Hull...

Yeah, I learned to play hockey with flat bladed wooden sticks, which were great. Composite makes everything but your crosscheck better but oftentimes doesn’t feel right. I now use the cheaper composite sticks because they are usually heavier and feel more like what I grew up with.

Kyrou has to be a shooter in this tournament...

Over thinking over handling over playing each chance...

Keep it simple and score Kyrou...

Agreed.....that first pass was attempted when the Czech defender was already sprawling. That has to be a shot even if the angle is terrible
