What's the status of neckguards in Swedish hockey at the moment Per? Are they/have they been grandfathered in yet? Anyway, I'm glad that kid was okay. Neckguards are mandatory, and if the refs see you don't wear one they can call a minor penalty for faulty equipment. Many players dislike them ...

Arvid Costmar got his throat slit this Sunday. Or neck. Freak accident; Björklöven player Matt Maione was attempting an open ice hit, Costmar tried to swirl out of it and as they both lost balance and fell to the ground, Maione's right skate made contact with the side of Costmar's neck. He bled p ...

Just as a point of note. This legislation isn't going after hand guns already owned. Just a proposed freeze on new ones. Not quite accurate.

If anyone is interested in a dystopian novel, Kallocain was written in 1939/40 by Karin Boye. It is inspired by what she saw happening in the authoritarian societies of the day, mainly the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany. Some have said it's a ripoff of Orwell's 1984, but then it should be pointed out ...

Screw that - I've got mine loaded with slugs. Someone breaks into my house, they are dead. :shock: As I said before, at my age, life in prison isn't much of a deterrent. It would be worth it to take some scum bag meth head out permanently. :mrgreen: We need green text for impertinent comments like ...

1 - Gestapo eh, might be some Jews who take offense especially considering that state of affairs currently. Not sure much mass murdering is taking place. Gestapo didn’t do mass murdering. They were a branch of the police who rounded up people (originally mostly union organizers, communists and s ...

I hope the American Gestapo is disbanded asap and all its goons prosecuted for their crimes against the American constitution and against humanity.
