What should I do for a pulled groin?

Run 25 MPH past one of the best Linebackers in the NFL for a 65 yard TD and Highstep your way into the endzone for the last 5 yards.

I expected the suggestions to be more difficult. Yet here we are, ho hum.

Definitely do not keep playing goalie until you tear it. Turns out that takes waaaay longer to heal and it is better just to take a few weeks off.

Rest is above all the most important step. Once you've done this and there isn't really anymore pain while trying to walk, then stretching is key to work it back into shape. There are a few different stretches that work, but anything that basically slowly "pulls" it to stretch it works, like lunges down to what I like to call the spider man, where you end up with your good leg bent and your previously hurt leg straight and butt pretty much touching the ground.

Booked my flight and bought tickets to the Flyers, Stars game in Dallas next month. With airfare and a ticket to the game, I spent less than $200. Looking forward to it!

Jeff Neiburg just got let go from the Flyers beat because of the Daily News-Inquirer newsroom merger.

Such a shame.

I didn't know where to put this, so it goes here. Coatsey's Corner is back.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

For some reason, I miss Coatsey on TV. I like him on radio, he was just weird for a long while.

Did Philly start the "oooooooo" cheer that every fan base does now?

I remember it with Boosh and Hugh Douglas originally

Creepy and sad,

Creepy and sad,

I thought that was going to be some comparative joke towards Luke Schenn...then I read the last word Sad stuff

I'm even more surprised to hear there is such a thing called the "Center for Catastrophic Sport Injury Research"

So I met a guy when I was in the hospital (I'm not dying, sorry to disappoint some of you ) and we ended up talking a bit about sports and how I'm a big hockey fan. He was there because apparently he has cancer and they've given a timetable of how long he can expect to live and he was getting an infusion of something. So he told me he was going to bring in some hockey cards for me if he sees me again the next time we'd both be there (today).

Turns out he brought me a box that must weight like 60 pounds (I'm guessing because it feels similar to my dog which weighs like 65).

These are just a few of the cards that have their values written on them, don't know how accurate they are but its still awesome.

The top middle one is a holographic Peter Forsberg card, the bottom left and bottom right cards are signed, the bottom middle is a sweater card, and there's also a Simon Gagne prospect card that I forgot to put in the picture. I haven't even looked at 10% of cards yet but there are some really awesome ones in here. I believe there's some Gretzky cards in here somewhere too since he said he doesn't follow hockey but he knows that name.

Pretty insane that a total stranger would do something so unbelievably nice.

lots of nice cards. That's pretty cool that dude would bring them for you.

Yeah I couldn't believe it. You wouldn't believe some of the cards in here.

 

[GapToothedWonder]

That's awesome, befriend that man for as long as you can.

Also just found two gold coins. One has Saku Koivu on it and the other Joe Sakic.

Any Eric lindros and Johnny Vermont in there? Hope everything is good with you being in the hospital dude.

 

[hatcher]

All the best with that dude. You got that flyers heart .

 

[Beef Invictus]

That's an impressive collection. He does that for other sports?

 

[cheesesteakarmor]

House burglarized Monday, cat escapes. Captured Tuesday morning, bites me. Urgent Care gives antibiotics. In the ER today, and may have surgery this afternoon due to the bite. This week is killing me, and Friday is my birthday

 

[Beef Invictus]

Happy Birthday!


Forget the rest?

No offense but **** cats dude.

Theyre not domesticated. Just miniature wild cats that are imprisoned in homes.

And happy birthday.

 

[Striiker]

Yeah I think he was a really big collector of other things and the hockey cards were just gotten as throw ins or extras when he got stuff of other sports. He apparently used to make a lot of money by collecting things and he's a big football fan. Mixed in with all the hockey cards are a bunch of other sports cards too. Some baseball, basketball, even NASCAR. And everything is in amazing condition too, even though most aren't in protective sleeves.

I still can't believe he just gave it to me. Such a nice guy, I feel awful that his health is failing him.

Wow that sounds like one hell of a week. Hopefully you at least can have a good birthday. And good luck with that bite too.
