They could get welts/concussions with such little gear. I wear: Helmet, neck protector, double-layers of camos, chest armor (with pockets for extra ammo), gloves. Also rock a battery operated ammo loader (hopper).

Concussions? Are you serious?
While wearing the helmet, its nearly impossible to get a concussion. The worst I can think of are some hematomas while playing without any protectors but the helmet and a jockstrap, like most guys who play this game such for fun every few years.
Anterior Cruciate Ligament- and Meniscus tears and some other injuries, while doing a sport where you have to quickly change your directions, arent out of the question either. But this is a risk you have all the time, when you are doing some conditioning training as a hockey player.

So calm down, there are offseason activities that are much more dangerous. Playing golf for example

I was completely joking.

The concussion mention is due to our concussion bug joke. Wearing a helmet, I'm surprised I barely feel the paintball. It's weirdly amazing at dulling the blow.

Well, then youve got me there

Guys, for my fantasy league I have B. Schenn up and Coots on my bench. Do you think I should swap these 2 out?

B. Schenn plays on the top PP unit and is starting to find chemistry with Bellemare and Simmonds. Couts has had a grand total of 2 offensive zone starts in the last 2 games. Stick with Schenn.

The 2015 preseason dates will be added occasionally. One, in Allentown, is expected to be announced tomorrow. Any discussion can be continued here or in the prospects sticky thread.

The first post here will be modified as situations dictate over the off-season.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Flyers vs. NYI at Allentown, PA, Monday September 21.

The 2015 preseason schedule will be released Wednesday.

 

[GKJ]

Please still have the London game, and take one away from the WFC

The Capitals won't be a preseason opponent, home, away or neutral, this season. That was one of the games in Philly last preseason.

 

[GKJ]

They've been playing the Caps forever in pre-season. Don't recall much NYI recently though.

 

[CodyTheHuman]

Are they going to do more split squad games?

 

[OzFlyers]

I hope we draft a player from Kelowna/Kamloops or Portland as I will be travelling through there late September early October.

[LegionOfDoom91]

Interesting, no Toronto or Washington. I hope this means they'll scrap the rookie game with Washington & start participating in one of those prospect tournaments (Buffalo's apparently creating one of their own).

 

[GKJ]

No game in London? Damn.

3 games against the Islanders? Were they worried that they wouldn't be seen in Philly in pre-season

 

[Curufinwe]

That's a great travel schedule for preseason. No planes required.

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

This will be removed from the sticky section and locked. We have the early stages of a similar thread for this off-season.
