Seriously?????

[T.Low 1,011]

If I had to guess, I'd say that's not Orchard Lake. :-)

[AtlantaHotWings 1,124]

Well the old way was just getting him hurt so why not try a different training trick?

Or we can see it as he is healthy and that's a good thing(trying to be positive)

[kipwinger 8,754]

Booooooring. Tomas Tatar could do that drunk.

[LeftWinger 5,129]

...is that Tootoo's wife or twin sister? Anyhow, don't get me started on the fragility of Helm, but if something does happen, oh my God, is this going to fuel the flames. At least he didn't get injured doing this (ala Uwe Krupp dog sledding.) Maybe this is a good sign that his back is healed? But he damn sure better stay healthy this season.

At first I thought Herlmer was the reporter who wrote the article...

Herlmer? Don't remember him being on our team lol. Must be related to hertl.

This must be why bans didn't like tootoo. Always making helm carry the load.

[Z Winged Dangler 2,082]

Doesn't everyone love articles that make a big deal about nothing? Girl weighs 120 pounds, Helm squats with what...600?

Bans didn't like tootoo?

I'm a bit more worried that the Tootoos are honeymooning in Hawaii and Herlmer is with them. Now that's carrying the load above and beyond the call o' duty.

Or maybe this is a different occasion.

Or maybe Herlmer and his lady split and Tootoo is teaching him how to pick up chicks.

Commence the motorboat jokes. I'm done for the day.

EDIT: was misspelling Herlmer as Hermler. Can't have that.

I was thinking this was weird too. And what's Tootoo's wife doing on Herlmer's shoulders?

[PavelValerievichDatsyuk 1,935]

Do you guys really think that this is more strenuous on the back than what these guys do in the gym?

After the last few seasons I'm not really sure what these guys are doing in the gym. Clearly not stretching their groins.

Yes

[PavelValerievichDatsyuk 1,935]

Yes

about 120 pounds on your shoulders? I hope he can handle that. Keeping balance is the difficult part and does ad a little strain, but not that much. Me and my friends used to have pool wars where put our girlfriends on our shoulders and attack each other. I'm kind of a wuss, but it was not difficult. Look if you go to festivals. There's always many skinny white dudes with a girls on their shoulders.

I was being sarcastic. Couldn't you tell???

I don't think anyone seriously here believes that. The writer is just trying to drum up news in the off-season when there isn't any... and this is the best he could do.

Actually I could believe it. I do a fair bit of waterskiing and wake boarding, and even just getting pulled around the lake destroys your back. I'm in pretty good shape, still young, and can only go around our lake a few times before I'm spent. Doing it with someone on my back is a whole different level.

Haha, okay. Often people's opinions on this board seem over the top so maybe my filter has been messed up. Or maybe it's just been a very long off season and I just want to debate something remotely to do with hockey........ anything..... oh, please come back, hockey! Otherwise, I'll have to start talking about politics or world events and that's a good way to get depressed.

[Drake_Marcus 890]

If anyone knows the limits of Helm's body it's Helm.

And she doesn't exactly look like much of a load for someone who lifts as much as a hockey player

[The Secret 304]

Fakking Hermler... Who doe he think he is having fun on his own time? What an idiot eh!

[13dangledangle 968]

Booooooring. Tomas Tatar could do that drunk.

This made me laugh so hard! Well done

[Jesusberg 1,256]

NOOO! I checked out this topic just to make one of those. Bless your soul

The whole first part of this thread owes me a new keyboard. 10/10 would recommend for the lulz.

my apologies to the typo but the upside is that this thread has become fun to read

plus, maybe the accidental nickname will stick :-)

[KATIEBARTHEDOOR24 426]

If I had to guess, I'd say that's not Orchard Lake. :-)

Not Clark lake either... Article says no-handed skiing... That's impressive. Did Helm train at Bush Gardens?
