After the post about most frequent posters, I thought it would be fun to share your strategy for staying on top of the comments here at the Rink.

I have browser tabs open for the 2 or 3 main posts going on at the time, as well as the Fanpost Page (which I just started using)--which I refresh now and then to keep up with the comments. Occasionally I'll pop open the Fanshot page to see if there's anything new worth looking at.

All while I should be doing work. What about you guys?

I broke my favorite stick last week after a year of using it (amazingly long lifespan), and then last night some donkey slashed my good backup in half. I'm down to one stick that I'm not crazy about and it's time to re-stock!

So where do you guys that play get your equipment? I've used hockeygiant.com and hockeymonkey.com in the past with some success, but maybe you know another or a better place to buy from?

It dawned on me that wagering on hockey was an option when I was watching Elitserien games online. One of their main sponsors is a government-run (I believe) sports book. I also saw a dude using his iPhone to bet while sitting in front of me at Verizon center. Thought I'd give it a try, and I've been betting on the NHL since after the trading deadline last season.

I use an online sports book and have had a modicum of success, though my winning percentage has dwindled since my book has (I guess) discontinued NHL prop betting. I made a killing betting that Viktor Kozlov would NOT score in a playoff game last year, for example.

So who else partakes? Share your fun times or dramatic losses or horror stories or rants against gambling!
