...And the celtics are my second team, Red Auerbach is an idol. Here's Gilbert Arenas' quote for the Nov 2nd opener vs Boston, in Boston.

"Oh man, everybody is jumping on this Celtics band wagon. You know what? I was going to go prediction-free for the whole year, but I guess I’m going to break that now.

Now, if anybody remembers back when I got drafted, I got a report back that the reason I dropped so far in the draft was that Jim O’Brien of the Celtics said that I was too immature and that I wasn’t ready for the NBA. What really happened was that I had an Achilles injury and I went back to L.A. to go get it healed when I was supposed to have a two-day workout in Boston with O’Brien. He didn’t like that. So word came back to me that he was trashing me and it put this knife through my chest about the Boston Celtics.

Back in the day when I would day dream I thought that if I could score 100 points against any team it would be the Boston Celtics. Now, I knew it would never happen, but if I could do one thing in the NBA it would be to score 100 against Boston. So anyway, since everybody is back on the Boston bandwagon it brought back old memories. So listen here. On November 2nd, we’re going to go into that building, we’re opening up Boston. Right now I’m telling the Boston fans: You guys are going to lose. It’s not going to be a victory for Boston. You might as well just cheer for me, because Boston isn’t winning in Boston for the season opener. I’m sorry. "

I bought longer gloves b/c I was tired of getting slashed right above where a short cuff ends, and I still have basic full ROM. Any tips on breaking them in though?


Side Note: I'm just getting back from my 2nd inline game in 2 days, and the second consecutive day I've played like pure shit. I had to buy new wheels b/c my old ones were falling apart, and for some reason, even though theyre the exact size, the wheels arent fitting well. The bearings are sliding in and out of em', making it feel like you're skating during an earthquake, and my back wheels just straight up stopped rolling and got caught up in the skate. Couple that with this new pair of gloves I'm working in, you can guess how ugly it was. We still won though.

How much did the Synergy cost you, 120 or so? Worth it? And what're you playing in, a beer league, adult league, something else?

WHo am I to talk??? The fuggin Habs are having another one of those "well play hockey for 20 out of 80 games" season. Usually, we win win win up until Dec. 23rd. After the Allstars game, the team sinks, trades happen and someone gets fired....But this year, the shit started in late November...
