And here you go, from the same TSN link:

4:00pm et - Phil Kessel struggled with the aerobic testing on the bike. Like Toews, he required a bucket after the VO2 Max test. It was noted by some observers that the college players generally fared worse in the aerobic tests because most have not played since early April. Some junior prospects were still playing in late May or even into June. Kessel was happier with his strength testing.

I take it you've never done an anaerobic workout if you are surprised that Toews threw up on the stationary bike.

Just to be clear, there is a big difference between riding a stationary bike and a VO2 max test. That test is absolute murder, and vomiting is not that unusual. The vomiting afterward is not nearly as important as the score.

If I'm not mistaken (and I often am) Lance Armstrong recently set the world record in this test.

One time, at summer camp, I puked after only two beers. But, they were Old Mills. And, I "shot" them both one right after the other. And I was only 16. And I was trying to keep pace with a 310lb alcoholic softball player. The chicks didn't see me though, so it was all good to go after eating some toothpaste.

taz also puked while watching "Brokeback Mtn"

From what I understand you ride the bike for a certian amount of time with someone screaming in your ear to keep pedaling as fast as you can. and then for the last minitue or so they suddenly raise the resistance by quite a bit and you are expected to keep pedaling as fast as you were or at least close to it. Has anyone else heard the same thing? I cant' remember where I read it. Somewhere online this morning

and don't get me wrong I enjoy watching Kessel play. But isn't he one ugly SOB

I'm sure not! I'm not here to talk smack about your squad or try to brag up my squad. I'm a Hockey fan first and then a gopher fan. living in EGF for the past 3 years i figure its about time to make my presence felt on this board. so lets hear the GFY FNG's and lets talk puck!
