taped up my 2 new sticks and got the new blade on.  It's sweet, man.  Can't get any straighter.  only got 19 pucks, got jipped by one.  They weigh a bit more, but it's not really that noticeable.  Probably is when shooting and puck handling.  The shooting board doesn't seem to be the greatest.. definitely not like ice, but it'll work for shooting.  vinyl tile flooring and roller pucks is where it's at.

Too bad I can't play for a few weeks. Or whenever my back is better, hopefully sooner.
