My hands are always super dry and currently have 5 cracks between them. All of them are on the creases and they split open and bleed with use (especially in sweaty hockey gloves). have you ever tried "o'keeffe's working hands" cream?

We do too, everyone calls him hippy jim. Wears a tie-dye jersey, has headphones in his helmet so he's rocking out the entire game, looks like willie nelson. Is hilarious to hang out with. He's also a blackhawks season ticket holder, he shows up all the time in the intermission reports because they have the table set up in one of the halls at the UC. Next day everyone is all "hey I saw hippy jim on TV last night!"

We played a late game last night and actually dominated which was very odd. We ended up winning 7-1 and had 46 shots vs their 24. I played like poo poo, felt tired and all that. Doesn't help that it was 1030 and I've been running on little sleep the last few days.

A Thing happened tonight. Broke a 23 game losing streak. Excuse my handwriting, I was half occupied with popping bottles in the locker room. Edit: This also apparently enabled time travel since I hosed the date up so bad. It's November... Vargatron fucked around with this message at 07:04 on Nov 11, 2016 |

We have a WWF belt we hand out to team MVP. Holy crap, the league I'm in is such horseshit. We just played a game with a guy who played in the junior Flyers. And here he was skating circles around everyone. At least I had a slapper that made a beautiful tinging sound as it went in.

Beer is never dumb! I skated to the wrong side of the rink, had the beer slid over to me, then failed to take my gloves off to pick it up, almost falling over in the process. Was pretty funny to be honest.

Got a gwg in ot last night week a second left on the clock, pretty cool. First time I got a goal in consecutive games too. Sounds like I'm almost ready to be a contributor to the worst team in the worst division in the league.

Everyone who watches hockey should play a few games themselves before ragging on professional athletes. If one were to dig up all my N/V thread posts over the years there should be a pretty sharp decline in me making GBS threads on NHLers for loving up after I started playing the game. Now I watch the games and am either jealous or in awe of the things they do. (then try some of it in my next game and look like a clown)

Got the game tying goal and game winning goal last night, but the score ended up like 6-1. First goal I tripped over our own blue line, slid past the center line, got back up and skated hard to be there just in time to bury a one-timer. Almost had a hat trick but their D had the presence of mind to stick check me at the last second and I wasn't bearing any weight down on my stick.

This guy dropped in on a pick-up game I was playing once, and just completely dominated everybody, including a couple of college players that were there. http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=76422 There is nobody in this thread who is anywhere near the skill level of any ECHLer.

I've skated against a few AAA washouts and am pretty sure I never want to share ice with an ECHL or better player. They're even less fun to have on your team because you might as well not show up for all the impact you have on the game. Though I suppose a proper NHLer would be fun because it would probably be a pretty low key skate and it hanging out with them in sandbag mode would be worth the stories.

The top 5 or so best players in our league are all guys that tried to "make it" skating minor league hockey from ages 21 to 25 but never even sniffed something like the ECHL and they are head and shoulders above most of the guys in our league. It all basically comes down to, are you skilled? Yes. Are you over 6' tall and 220lbs? No? OK, are you really, really, really skilled? No. Ok have fun in beer league bro. It's gotta be frustrating to be that much better than all the guys you grew up with but are too small/not quite that good to make it on any kind of radar for a legit minor league.

That's my point. All the high skill players I've played with/against have been puck hogging shitlords showing off for the scouts living in their head.

It sucks to play with guys that think they know how good they are and it is usually cool to play with guys that know how good they are. We've had a few guys on our league team, that we ask to play with us if we are desperate for people, that think they are getting the call up every time they play and that just sucks. We have also had the opportunity to play with guys who have actually gotten the call up (to some degree) and will actually play to the skill level of our league and that is really awesome.

I attended a goaltending camp that featured AAA Junior and ECHL shooters. Those guys were so obviously shooting easy for us and could thread the needle at will if you left any gaps open.

I thought you guys were losing. You've matched your career high in points after just 4 games! In other news, I'm leading my division in points. Look at us doing good things.
