So what the hell do I do with the jersey? It cost over $200 new, and though it’s barely worn, I doubt I could get $30 for it now.

I might look into having the nameplate and number changed to a player I like better, but I might not even bother, as the color scheme is different now (we changed from navy to royal blue) and very few current Sabres ever wore the navy blue jersey.
I imagine my Eichel jersey will eventually wind up being worn by some kid in a third world African country, like what happened to millions of prematurely-printed early 90s Buffalo Bills Super Bowl Champion shirts. If I ever buy another jersey, it will probably be of a classic Sabre, like Mogilny or Hawerchuk or something.

Man, that guy was one of the twitchiest athletes I ever saw. His body was never at rest. Even in interviews, he was very staccato and, like, vibrating. No surprise when it turned out he had a coke problem. But Christ he was a fantastic goalie.Kimmelweck wrote: ↑04 Feb 2023, 8:52am(I was gonna try to make a Grant Fuhr joke, but I’m glad I held off.

He never had the best GAA or Save%, but he was great at being better than the other team’s goalie on any given night. Just a winner. Fuhr only played a couple seasons in Buffalo, but he’s one of my all-time favorite Sabres for sure.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑04 Feb 2023, 9:04amMan, that guy was one of the twitchiest athletes I ever saw.

In the late 90s, I bought a used car. I got a great deal on it and quickly found out why. It had this stench that, for the life of me, I could not get out. And I couldn't figure out what it was.

The case could be made for each - plus both in the same bag leads to double the issue. With football/soccer goalkeepers, it's the gloves. Goalkeeper gloves can be and should be (for effectiveness) washed - hockey gloves can't be.

I wear weightlifting gloves when I row and am amazed at the kind of stench that can build up. Why I should think hand sweat is less offensive than coming from anywhere else, I have no idea—well, yes, I do; I'm kinda dumb about lots of things—but it always seems strange that the gloves should amass such toxicity after awhile.gkbill wrote: ↑06 Feb 2023, 11:07amHello,JennyB wrote: ↑06 Feb 2023, 10:59amIt's the gloves!gkbill wrote: ↑06 Feb 2023, 10:58amHello,JennyB wrote: ↑06 Feb 2023, 10:50amIn the late 90s, I bought a used car.

Re: NHL 2022-2042: So what’s the deal with Hockey?
I remember playing floor hockey in gym class in high school, and the worst smelling pieces of gym equipment were always the goalie helmets. They were the old face-fitted mask kind that covered all but the very back of your head - basically a grey plastic bucket with eye holes and 3 or 4 thin strips of foam for padding. They had the smell of a 3-day-old road-killed skunk in the sun. I liked playing goalie, but there was nothing worse than putting one of those helmets on your head after hundreds of kids had sweated in them for 20+ years. After use, they were never cleaned or even allowed to dry a little, but just went straight into a grey canvas bag which got nice and musty. I think my face is breaking out into a rash just thinking about those things.
