sellouts posted:It's a bad habit and honestly y'all are falling all over the place anyways. Tread lightly but if you have people who can actually step into plays and move quickly off of the faceoff its interference. Not saying it'll get called but a bad habit. I'm not trying to toot my horn or anything but if I'm winning 50% of the time, probably more than 50% of that is a clean win (off my stick, whether or not my team gets to it first is another thing). Most aluminum players don't try very hard. Also Ace informs me he's not playing aluminum next season so I'm gonna try to hop onto the copper team he's going to (which will be coming from lakewood because they're removing the team pay option, making it a ridiculous cost for that rink.

You guys have any experience with Reebok Ribcor skates? I may try some on tomorrow, but I won't bother if they're just gimmicky. I'm wondering how long the pump would last.

So I won a decent number of faceoffs on Wednesday (tips were great, thanks!) but I won them almost exclusively to the wing instead of the defense and they were contested pretty quickly. I guess I need to dig further into the circle and then backwards? I also spent a LOT of time just covering people in the slot when we were being pressured, is that my job or am I forcing a defender out of position when I do that? Should I pick up a man higher up? We won 3-1 thanks to our other centre getting a hatty. Also being a father-son duo with my 58 year old dad seems to be a pretty big novelty in the league so that's fun. We're like the Howes if the Howes were trash.

That's normal, one of the center's jobs is to cover gaps in your defense. Since there's three forwards attacking you, and ideally you want everyone to be covered, that means the center needs to be able to identify the extra man and take care of it. But if standing in the slot is literally all you're doing have a chat with your defense and figure out what the hell is going on, because that's their job too. It could be your defense doesn't give a poo poo. Or they see you there and decide to go do something else. Or they're just oblivious to the game of hockey. Communicate what you want to do and hopefully they adjust.

Realize the motion is less of a left to right sweep and leaving the stick face open is going to cause it to go wide rather than back Also maybe spin your body to block him and pass from your feet ?

That is a ridiculous amount of rust on the cage. It's pretty hard to get a puck stuck in a cat-eye. In order for this to happen, the puck has to come in with out any sort of deflections to slow the puck. Duke, where is the pizza and hockey on Fridays? I need to know for...research.

No worries, I just played drop in against a team of junior level payers in their late teens with no goalies at 1130pm on a Friday night. But yeah that was no stick and puck session. Those fuckers are fast.

Late night weekend drop in hockey is awesome if you want to feel old and slow. Last time I went we were getting off the ice around 12:30-1 and the kids that just spent two hours with the jets on were drinking beers in the locker room and talking about hitting last call at a bar before finding an after party. Little shits.

We won 10-5 last night in a comedy hour of terrible D and goaltending by both teams. It was awesome. Pretty sure we scored on our first 4 shots.

You have to go out of your way to let a helmet get that rusty. He must not have ever aired out his mask after a skate and clearly hasn't replaced his cage in 1/2 a decade. The bar across his right eye is also dented it so it'll be more likely to do this on that side too. Just a lot of dumb/lazy going on in that photo

Played goalie in a game last night that ended in a brawl. I don't really know how it started exactly, some jaw jacking and chippiness obviously. Then the other team's entire bench cleared where as most of our guys stayed on our bench (one left). Their goalie came in towards the end throwing haymakers for no reason and what might've ended suddenly reignited. At one point our guy let him up and he threw a punch at him. The worst though was one idiot on their team took everything waaaay too far and decided to take our guy down and then stomp on his leg which ended up breaking his fibula and he may need surgery. Unfucking believable. The only thing to come out of it was the league director had no problem with our team's actions nor did the ref. That and we beat them 9-4.

Jesus loving Christ where was that at? That's not even "way over the line" that's beyond insane. If people want to willingly fight that's one thing but stomping a guys leg? I played 2 back to back games last night as part of the leagues captain games. It was casual but fun. Only 2 subs each so I got a lot of puck time which was nice. Wasn't planning on playing the second but they didn't have enough people to skate so I joined in. gently caress if I didn't lose 5 lbs in sweat though. And it's funny. A 9 mile hike last weekend made my it band tight, giving me some knee pain when walking but it felt fine while skating. This morning was rough though.

Discovered "the fear" like never before at a tournament recently. Theres nothing quite like being your team's only goalie and having the full force of your hang over kick in moments before stepping on the ice. Knowing you need to vomit whilst being trapped out there in the crease for 60 minutes was an exceptionally horrendous experience - somehow it was probably my best game all tournament, however the gently caress that works.

You were too hung over to worry about letting goals in. Also, what the gently caress, a guy got his leg broke during a beer league brawl? I didn't know you entered a gladiator ring as soon as you hit the ice. Got a 10:15PM game tonight against the best team in the league. My stat line is 7.00GAA and a .692 SV% over 4 games. It's going to be a fun poo poo show.

Felt a lot more comfortable playing center second time out last night. Managed to weave the puck through the neutral zone a few times and then set up good passes in the offensive zone, and I won a few faceoffs back to the right position. I played higher in the slot on defense (unless I needed to cover someone right out front) and was quicker to go help along the boards or in the corners. Playing C is awesome, so much skating.
