Around the League 47: Vancouver Collects All The Petterssons

Ovie with 2

Caps all over Oil 5-1 end 2

ETA make that an empty net hattie for Ovie

 

[HisIceness]

Ovi is absolutely scoring #894 and/or #895 against us.

I hate the thought of this.

 

[Svechhammer]

Sounds like Matthew Tkachuk could b out for the year.

If so, it would all but kill any hope of NHL players being in international tournaments going forward after the Olympics

Gibson with an UBI.

For all the talk about how Rantanen has looked for Carolina, the Avs have struggled scoring now too. 2 goals in 2 games against Nashville and St. Louis

First weekend after the break is fake.

First weekend after the break is fake.

Don't tell me that, I'm enjoying Edmonton being winless.

How Kraken equipment staff deals with ‘the worst smell in the world’

Those who know, know. When the locker room door swings open at a well-loved ice rink, it’s an eye-watering assault on the senses. It conjures a thousand stinky feet, with notes of a full dumpster on an early August evening.

That’s bacteria feeding off sweat, made worse when gear sits in its juices in a warm, unventilated bag. Hockey stink is a scent unlike any other.

“It’s the worst smell in the world,” Seattle Kraken head equipment manager Jeff Camelio said, though he acknowledged he doesn’t notice it much after 18 NHL seasons and 2,003 games.

When a visiting high schooler doesn’t air out his equipment, Camelio said, it can stink up the whole rink. It doesn’t take too long for the stench to set in, especially at a practice facility. Most visitors don’t have high-tech solutions at best, and at worst, lazily toss their zipped bag into a garage or basement to ferment.

The latter method invites serious infections, plus another top contender for the worst smell in the world. If your cat relieved itself into your hockey bag, a Google search confirms you’re far from alone.

I’ll be honest, having grown up playing hockey starting at four years old and practicing at four in the morning to get ice time at the only rink in town, that smell is like nostalgia for me. I don’t find it repulsive at all.

Now, I also lived pretty close to some dairy farms and found manure smells also not a problem, so I may not be the best judge of aromas.

How efficient are you in determining whether milk has gone bad?

Have you experienced downtown Milwaukee?

Between Red Star Yeast, multiple breweries, a tannery, and a fertilizer plant, that city is something on the right day.

Maybe. Or maybe I have always lived in households where milk has no time to go bad.

Truthfully, I have only once or twice smelled bad milk because we've go through it so quickly, both growing up and with my own kids.

See, I'm the opposite. According to everyone I've ever lived with, I'm able to tell when milk is going bad a little earlier than others. It'll smell rancid to me, but it takes another day or two before others notice it.

Counterpoint - New York City subway stations, and the trains themselves.

I think perhaps the most interesting thing about Milwaukee is that it’s the only major American city to have ever elected three socialist mayors

Had an uncle that had a dairy farm and you can count me as one who doesn't think cow (or horse) manure smells bad. Although it's going to vary by individual, I'd guess that cow manure isn't overly objectionable to a lot of people?
