Hockey Pucker

There is a girl that I have liked for a couple of years, we are now both single so I persued her. She was really receptive. She admitted she liked me and even searched personal information about me. I think it hurt her when she found out I had a girlfriend but I never asked her out or called her prior to being single. So thing started good we first facebooked and then texted and then called. She always called me late though as she was getting into bed. We had great conversations and sometimes they went for hours. She did get super naughty with me twice over the phone and told me all she wanted to do with me. But she was always embarrassed the next day, but then she did it again. But then it stopped she called me and texted me everyday and I finally asked her out but she cancelled at the last minute, she did have a really good reason. So I asked her out again the next weekend. She didn't even respond yes or no nothing. And we didn't talk for 4 days cause it was rude of her. So I wasn't sure what the hell. She texted me today with meaningless chatter. I admitted I really liked her a couple of weeks ago but it was still good. Her friends admitted she liked me, her coworkers told her to date me but suddenly slams on the breaks....why?

. Did I somehow piss her off?

. Is she leading me on?

. is she playing hard to get?

. Is she seeing sombody else?

. Is she stringing me along because she is evil?

How do I play it from here on out. I don't want to lose this one?

I get team Canada and Russia also are excellent as well as some others. But when you actually look at the prospective goalies along with the players its a good solid team and I think they have a good shot to be on the podium. The point being some times team chemistry is overlooked and sometimes trumps star power?

Thoughts on team Canada and Russia?

Who are the spoilers, I never count out Sweden or the Czechs? Anyone else to consider?

Do u remember when the big matchup was Tyson Hollyfield and yet they waited so long to fight it no longer mattered they were both washed up.

Is Mayweather going to wait until Manny has grey hair and a cane? He is already a little past his prime.

To me Manny is the bigger star fighting all comers and Mayweather although undefeated is just trying to protect his record. His selfish monetary demands makes it seem like he simply does not want to fight. )ets go 50 50 on payout and stop dodging. Mayweather, you have lost some fans by this and the fans are what pays your meal ticket.

That being said sorry Floyd. I once randomly crossed paths with Floyd, him walking up a very steep hill me down. Being 6'3 and him walking up the hill I towered over him. He looked up and gave me an unexpected huge smile. I thought this pretty cool.

Please fight now before its too late? any thoughts?

In truth in past years I didn't even bother watching games that they were in and had no interest. Yet I like it when teams turn around and surprise. I'm no bandwagoneer.

What did they change, systems, lineups, players, coaching tactics?

Will they make the top tier?

How do they stack up against the Leafs? (To be clear my team is Boston but the leafs and the Avalanch seem to be the spoiler picks). So who is the better team Toronto or Colorado? Will Dallas make a run?

I know a guy who grew up playing against Hossa when he moved to the states and met a WHL player who made the NHL etc, nothing big though. I bet somebody has a really good story to tell? So here is your chance. Add details of how they played and acted when they were young.

Thanks.

1. My left hip was a bit tight and soar for around two weeks. I strectched but it didn't help much ice did not help. Heat helped a bit and ibuprofen made it completely go away.

2. Now my hip pain is completely gone but my outer leg muscles really hurt (like a stripe going down a tux from my hip bone to my knee). They are not soar like after you lift weights but constantly feel a dull pain. Ice does not help but specific streching does but not for long. Ibuprofen completely makes it disapear but then it comes back.

So I have trained very hard for years. My summer regimen was skating 3 days a week and 2hrs of hockey specific conditioning (pylos, lateral sprints etc) and at night an hour of puckhandling and shooting. I felt great all summer and I realize this is a pretty intense workout done 6 days a week.

I recently just am focusing more on skating and playing hockey. I am training much less now like 4 days a week. The pain suddenly came when the weather changed?

Help?

Is he any good?

Will he be playing in the NHL in 2013?

Did he have anything to do with Tyler's departure ir was that Ingela?

Does he have any star potential?

For fun how about team Canada too? How will the current team Canada stack up to the last gold medal team?

You know the gold medal game was just a fantastic game to watch in Couver. I watch it a few minutes at a time before most workouts or practice, great skating effort. Even though it was a really close game in score and shots team Canada was so smooth and had a great trapping defense, their passing reminds me dare I say of the old Soviets (I know thems fighting words)? Player wise was there ever a better 4 lines that took the ice in Olympic play.

That being said still loyal to team Usssaaa.

Was he secretly injured and tool a year off?

What team will fight to get him? Would he b a fit for Montreal? Winni? Columbus?

Will he retire?

He was so good but in the playoffs?

He tried, he hussled, made good passes and had lots of speedy breakaways, but he could not score, had a week shot, telegraphed his shots and never shot through screens. What the hell? now he's traded?

Forget patriotism for a moment, just the uniform.

Why?

For me I'm undecided.

Canada: I like the classic look plus the black pants balance out the red.

USA: I would like to see retro look or something completely new besides just the countries letters.

Germany: bad *** eagle, very cool.

Sweden: crazy bright colors but I like them.

Finland: classic colors.

Russia: one of my favorites, colors and great eagle.

For tshirts I like cccp I have no idea why but its so retro and evil.

Why do you play hockey?

Is it the best sport? Why?

What don't you like about hockey?

Do you go tot the rink rollerblade, off ice puck shooting and puck handling. Off ice excercises?

Run, bike, jump in the lake?

I thought the games were really competative this year with lots of surprises.

What do you think about the various match ups and the out comes?

The two teams even though losing surprised me were the Red wings and the Leafs?

If fans were armies who would win the war between the leafs and canadian's?

Why? Who would want an un holy treaty with Vancouver?

What American fans wouldn't get blitzkreig'd?

I avoided habenero because its hot but now that I have tried it in a ranch mix I think o really like the flavor I like it. I also recently tried a few drops of ghost pepper in a dish deluted with tomato and Mayo and it also tasted good.

Am I tasting the heat or flavor?

Sometimes I don't like the taste of jalopenos?

The horse looked great before the race, very energetic, muscular and trim. It lagged the entire race and didn't look like it gave a good effort. It slowed down and turned around and started walking and then it was agressive to the rider, then it collapsed and was completely out, it had labored breathing very deep. And after minutes of water and ice it suddenly popped up good right but it didn't want to walk at all and they continued cold water for like 10 min. The horses eyes were blood shot and when it started walking it looked very off balance and it tried to stomp the trainer and fought and then collapesed again? It was so scarry.

Help? What happened, overheating, broken ankle, heart attack or seizure.

Will the horse most likely live or die.

My wrist shot is accurate but slow... I avoid this unless I'm close any comments?

My snap shot is accurate and fast way faster than my wrist shot should I focus on this?

My short quick slap shot is powerfull...strangely when I take a big wind up it loses power? Any ideas why this is?

I guess my wrist shot is like 30mph, snap 50mph and slap 70mph.

They did awefully well in Vancouver? Was that a rare good team with a little luck and a good goalie or will Soji be competitive? Will Russia, Sweden, Czec have surprise success? Or will the good ole Red and white win the day? Does past success guarantee future success? Does the larger sheet of ice favor European teams.

Who will be Canada's, USAs goalie? Will Rask play for his home country?

And if you wish who will be the star player for each country?
