Join Forces To Fight Boneitis

PrintWhen Colby Armstrong (literally) broke into the NHL in 2005-2006 with the Pittsburgh Penguins, he did so in the face of mortal peril. Sadly, not he, nor anyone else in the hockey world yet knew of the dangers of boneitis. Only very recent studies completed by Dr. Birky of the Hollywood Upstairs Medical College have brought to light the full extent this debilitating disease's horrible effects.
"I was just playing with kittens, when suddenly, it came off," Armstrong recalls of his left leg. It was then that he and fellow teammate Tim Connolly, who also lost his right arm from the shoulder down in a tragic kleenex accident, consulted Dr. Birky.
"They probably shouldn't even stand in front of fans set to anything above 'medium setting,'" points out Birky, who has also suspended former Leaf Carlo Coliacovo in a sensory deprivation tank until more research has been done on treatment methods.
"Colby really is the face of boneitis," says Birky, who was quick to point out that no one should ever, under any circumstances, actually touch Armstrong's face. "I mean, that's the bread and butter of the campaign to support individuals suffering from this disease. Well, mostly, it's just the butter."
Birky was also vehement in his support for the Canadian Boneitis Association when he said that he "can't think of a more pressing cause right now, than the health and well-being of a small number of highly-paid professional athletes". Who knows how many other people might be affected?
Please, don't delay. Show your support today, by adding a Fight Boneitis Twibbon to your Twitter account. Travis Hair of the blog Five For Howling was good enough to design this beauty, so don't let it go to waste. Act now.

I went to both Guelph and Western.
Western is “classier” (read: more expensive drinks, people dress up way more to go out) and the parties are bigger. Lots of party-girls.
Guelph is a lot more laid back. The parties aren’t as crazy but there are still more than a few good bars that have a good party every night of the week. There are nights like a Wednesday where you go out and there are like 20 girls for every guy which is always awesome.
Western is such a big school that you can find any “niche” you want. There is the dominant one, but a lot of variety around the campus.

Well, because there is a premium to pay for going private, I’d expect there’s more. But, depending on the area one lives in, the public schools can be pretty snooty too.
When you go to a public school where the student parking lot is filled with nicer cars than the teachers, you know it’s a wealthy neighborhood.

Ah, yes, thank you for this incredible footage
This clip shows that Boneitis can reoccur in sufferers of the disease. When you consider the stresses a hockey player must go through, I believe that Boneitis is possibly a virus triggered by high stress levels. My hypothesis is that the Boneitis virus lays dormant within the patient’s genome as a provirus until stress levels reach a point that triggers the expression of the viral genes. The most likely cells infected by this virus are osteocytes and myocytes.
While this hypothesis may explain the vast recurrences of Boneitis in hockey players like Tim Connolly and Andrei Markov, more research is necessary on this debilitating disease. It is great to see such wonderful folks here donate to such causes, and I thank all of you!

I’m pretty happy with that. Fratting Grabbo Kulemin has been a good, hardnosed, forechecking line. Mac-Connoly-Kadri should provide some secondary scoring for once.

Il ike that too. Kadri with Connolly and MacA seems to be a good chance for him to at least spark something offensively.

In the NHL (in a 3SA) Kadri has 3 goals and 10 asissts in 33 GP. He also has only 53 shots (1.61 shots/GP).

maybe at the AHL level, and maybe he has changed over the past ~1/3 season in the AHL, but I remember him passing more at the NHL level, maybe because he felt he needed to work on his shot release vs. NHL goalies.

On the other hand players often need to adjust their game to the NHL level. Getting by the more agile NHL defenders can be tough and he may not be able to get to the same shooting locations as he can in the A.
If he can turn into an Alex Tanguay or Tim Connolly I’ll be quite happy.

First off
Welcome and thanks for joining. Newbies are always welcome!
I am curious what you base his “laziness” on. From what I seem he skates really hard, he hits a lot, goes to the tough areas of the ice and digs in the corners. Both Jonas Siegel (TSN) and Mirtle (Globe and Mail) have commented on how hard he trains and how ridiculously frustrated he was when he wasn’t able to do to injury.
Finally he tried to cover up a concussion and play through it (which was ridiculously stupid), which suggests to me that he is determined, not lazy.

He had 15 in 48 games last year – not a 40 point pace
Nobody is debating Armstrong’s cap hit. They are debating the “laziness” comment. Armstrong is sorry about his constant string of injuries. He will work harder not to get injured next time and therefore keep his spot on the roster.

Or doesn’t like the person training him, or is just a laid-back guy with a sense of humour who likes to have fun while he’s doing things. It could mean any of a million things, but I think it’s hard to get to the NHL when you’re “lazy” unless you have super natural talent (i.e. Daigle, Wellwood). Army isn’t a super talent kind of guy.

My old goalie coach used to have us do conditioning at the end of the whole practice. Start on the post, go out to the opposite corner of the crease, butterfly, into a poke check, roll to the opposite corner of the crease, from the stomach up into the butterfly, back up into ready stance, back to the post. Repeat, and you better hope that butterfly looked good. Great for fitness, maintaining the butterfly under fatigue, and all that crap.

Relevant quote from the article
Creatine and athletic performance
There is scientific evidence that short term creatine use can increase maximum power and performance in high-intensity anaerobic repetitive work (periods of work and rest) by 5 to 15%. This is mainly bouts of running/cycling sprints and multiple sets of low RM weightlifting. Single effort work shows an increase of 1 to 5%. This refers mainly to single sprints and single lifting of 1-2RM weights. However, some studies show no ergogenic effect at all.8 Studies in endurance athletes have been less than promising, most likely because these activities are sustained at a given intensity and thus do not allow for significant intra-exercise synthesis of additional creatine phosphate molecules. Ingesting creatine can increase the level of phosphocreatine in the muscles up to 20%. It must be noted creatine has no significant effect on aerobic endurance, though it will increase power during short sessions of high-intensity aerobic exercise.910
Since body mass gains of about 1 kg can occur in a week’s time, many studies suggest that the gain is simply due to greater water retention inside the muscle cells.11 Other studies, however, have shown that creatine increases the activity of satellite cells, which make muscle hypertrophy possible. Creatine supplementation appears to increase the number of myonuclei that satellite cells will ‘donate’ to damaged muscle fibers, which increases the potential for growth of those fibers. This increase in myonuclei probably stems from creatine’s ability to increase levels of the myogenic transcription factor MRF4.1213
In another study, researchers concluded that changes in substrate oxidation may influence the inhibition of fat mass loss associated with creatine after weight training when they discovered that fat mass did not change significantly with creatine but decreased after the placebo trial in a 12-week study on ten active men. The study also showed that 1-RM bench press and total body mass increased after creatine, but not after placebo.14 The underlying effect of creatine on body composition has yet to be determined, as another study with a similar timeframe suggests no effect on body composition, but had less overall emphasis on metabolic effects.15
Creatine use is not considered doping and is not banned by the majority of sport-governing bodies. However, in the United States, the NCAA recently ruled that colleges could not provide creatine supplements to their players, though the players are still allowed to obtain and use creatine independently.

Ehh I wouldn’t particularly trust that. The role of satellite cells in muscle growth isn’t even that proven. Frankly no one is 100% sure of the mechanism of muscle growth as we understand it on a macro level.

i just read that and would like to see those studies. however where did it say that storage doesnt occur with supplements?
It may occur but my understanding (I don’t have any references for it, sorry) was that it doesn’t. I can say that it is a common fallacy in the vitamin, nutrition, and supplement world that when something is proven to have an intracellular role (or even in vitro role) that it will perform as such when given as a supplement.
Even if it can be later found in the blood stream or tissues (thus it was absorbed and brought to the appropriate site of action), there is often no evidence that it actually is able to access the intracellular compartment and perform the same actions as were shown in vitro.

He really wouldn’t. Last year he spent half his time with Bozak and Kessel and scored at 0.31 PPG (well below a 0.5, 40 point pace). Frattin for example is only on pace for 20 points.

Crabb has never shown the inclination to score at that rate. Last year at even strength Army had a 2.08 pts/60 to Crabb’s 1.55. Crabb was only ahead of Sjostrom and Orr on the right wing.
Further he has scored at 0.33 PPG through his career (highest is this year at 0.41 with an unsustainably high 22.7% shooting percentage). To be a 40 points scorer you need to score at 0.5 PPG.
Frankly 40 points is a lot higher than most people realize and Crabb will never get there.

BC does not have private health care. They have a couple clinics that have gotten more publicized than ones in the rest of hte country, but all the other provinces have ’em to.
Check out shouldice for an example in Ontario
They (like the rest of the country) have a publicly funded, one player private system. It is in BC, and the rest of the country, illegal to have a “private” system as most understand it due to legislation passed decades ago.

The whole country does, but any service that is covered in a public hospital, will be paid for by the public dime. You can only pay for things not covered by your provincial health care plan.
(Many private health clinics get around this by charging exorbiant “convenience” fees).
Also to be fair most family doctor’s offices are “private clinics”.

things don’t grow in mountains. They’re oxygen deprived, cold and rocky. And also I don’t really want to prolong the argument as I’ve seen you just embarrass yourself this whole thread but southern Ontario sucks, why? Because we provide 60% of your tax dollars for your precious BC utopia? Because if it wasn’t for Toronto you’d be riding a dogsled to your precious mountain paradise? Or does BC rule because you have more serial killers per capita than anywhere else in Canada? Or is it because your RCMP detachments abuse people more than any other police force in Canada? Or is it because you have the largest drug abuse problem in the country? Or is it because you have the most expensive housing in Canada?

Maybe a better 2nd or an equivalent prospect (i.e. poni for caputi)? That’s not crazy good value but it might be better than getting nothing in July.

Kaberle is really the best comparable but after seeing that straight up robbery, teams probably are wary.
Plus Liles never had the same “pedigree” i want to call it that kaberle did, even though he was pretty much as good over the last 5 years.
Kaberle had some good times with McCabe a while back, but hasn’t put up those kind of points in a while.

Everyone talks about Franson being trade bait. I think he stays with the Leafs. He’s only 24. I don’t think he’ll get a gigantic raise in the offseason. That’s a young cheap asset, while Liles will probably cost 4-5M on the open market.

Jesse Blacker shoots right and plays on the right side. He’s currently block by four NHL caliber defensemen.
Pension Plan Puppets
I hope YouTube comes down to film this.
Was thinking about this. There are two ways he could end up on our third pairing this season, both of which require that Komisarek remain injured:
1: Franson is traded (Gunnarsson, Liles, Gardiner, Phaneuf, Schenn, Blacker).
2: Liles is traded, no D-man comes back, and Franson returns to the left side (Gunnarsson, Gardiner, Frason, Phaneuf, Schenn, Blacker).
The only way I think we see either of those is if the Leafs fall out of a playoff spot, because that blueline is really young, would be really accident prone, and would be a quick ticket out of the playoffs (but hey – everyone has a price).

Everything else at the deli is meh. Except pickles, but I’m not going in just to order pickles.
