Dominant Game | Life in The Minors of Pro Hockey EP 7

[@Taylod1]

Hey Trav, got my new TRAV2 Pro Laces, from what I can tell is they are overall better quality and by that I mean by that is bungee cord seems to be of better material, the tabs are softer and thinner making it easier to thread through my Graf smaller openings. I went for the skate lace option which is much easier after my 1st game I tried them with the knot facing out and taped the loose ends back to the cords, it looks neat and will be less of a distraction for this OCD goalie!

[@trav4oilers]

So happy that you love them brother! They’ll last you a Long time! Thank you for your love

Q and A - @Trav - Your commutes to and from the arena are long. What do you commonly do to occupy yourself? Read? Watch movies? Sleep? Do personal business? And, do the rail services in Sweden have onboard WiFi? BTW: The work with Pasco, Brad, Guy and Keeks is paying off. Your movement is more crisp and controlled. Keep up the good work! -Robert, in Phoenix AZ
