I hear ya bro, but a kidney stone is something on a totally different level imo. . Can't explain it other than it's like getting filleted from the inside out. And if it gets stuck in your eurethra, it feels like someone pulls your balls onto a table and Phil Collins does the drum solo to " In The Air tonight" for an hour with a hammer.
Can relate to you both. Had fractured vertebrae in a massive car accident back in 1986 where I broke 27 bones... (head on collision with a lumber truck that by accident ventured onto my side of the road). 6 times I have had kidney stones and they are really really painful. Open heart double bypass surgery in 2016 compounded with complicated lung surgery right after that. But nothing hurt me as much as the heartbreak as when I found out my (ex)wife was banging two of my better friends. And that Beauty Queen babe that suddenly dumped me and chose my other bad boy buddy cuz I was "too nice". It all led somewhere else - for better or worse. We live. We learn. We hurt. We love. We suffer. We heal... and we stubbornly move forward until one day we drop.
I'm glad I'm not the only dork who thinks this EVERYTIME I see his name
Imagine my excitement. 2 whole pages of new prospect updates! But it’s just conversation about how old we’re getting and our ailments. I absolutely love it. But guys what if the prospects are reading this stuff? I can’t wait for one of you to meet Brennan Othman and have him ask you how your kidney stones are doing. But honestly I’m here for all of it. I appreciate the honesty. I mean that wholeheartedly. Also to the 70+ers, sorry about your balls.
I'm not too worried about Edstrom. He looked great in camp. Is there the possibility he's another Richard Nezelcheb (remember him?), absolutely.
Life takes us places and it's not always nice....that's for sure. Resilience is a big deal. There's always forward though sometimes forward is in a completely other direction to the path we were on or thought we were on. I look at my kids and I don't want to be a bad example for them......someone who gives up as soon as adversity hits. So those are things too. Some of your story reminds me of my dad who was shot twice in WWII--later on had a couple angioplasties, triple heart bypass surgery in his late 60's and went on 20 more years through three bouts with cancer....had both knees and both retinas replaced. He never wavered on anything.....the bypass surgery they gave him 10% chance and he just told the surgeon to 'do your best'. He was a rock.
He’s gone
When you involved with college hockey…
I can join the kidney stone convo here.
Yeah, I don't really understand the assessment. It also ignores the fact that Lafreniere and Kakko are already in the NHL, when guys their age would normally be in the AHL. Miller skipped Hartford. Lundkvist pussed out. Kravtsov probably should be there but we all know how that went. Jones and Schneider just graduated. We'd have Hunt as another depth forward to call upon if he wasn't claimed. Gauthier was there and he's a decent depth forward.
Yes. We can.
For whatever reason the rangers ahl team usually sucks but we’ve also seen a million guys come up and contribute. I would like the Rangers to focus on making their ahl affiliate a winner but for whatever reason they don’t care and still get players that way. I’d water there are five guys down there - a quarter of their roster - who end up with NHL careers. That is not bad.
