xzzy posted:I've seen three shattered ankles from stuff like that, turn funny and something pops and congratulations you're out for a year and you got metal in your leg. 4th data point. Probably 10-12 years ago, the guy wasn't a very strong skater, caught an edge pivoting from forward to backward and broke his tib and fib down near his ankle. He was in his early 40's I think at that point, maybe late 30's. Either way he ran his own masonry business and just gave up hockey after that because it wasn't worth it to him to be out of work like that for so long.

scuz posted:glad to be here! Welcome. This thread has a few... how do you say it so the text reads the way you mean it... spastics?!? I once had an in thread tantrum about a guy flopping to draw a penalty when we were in overtime and they were already 8 seconds into a 4 on 3 power play. Someone posted number of career goals, assists, penalties, and like a running total of money spent. All of this pay-to-play beer league hockey, mind you. Additionally there have been arguments about :
All of these arguments have been extremely one sided and a lot of good arguments for "NO" have failed to convince the posters who started them. Edit: We also periodically argue whether shoulder pads/face protection/neck guards/whatever are necessary. When it comes up we all state our opinion and no one is ever convinced.

Poop glove still gets a chuckle out of me whenever I think about it. I will say having the Sparx sharpener has been great. It's allowed me to play around with different hollows and see which one I prefer. Never would have thought that I feel the most comfortable on a 5/8 cut. Can actually turn "faster" than my previous cuts.

When I play out I just park myself in front of the crease and try and draw penalties. Not like I'm a good screen or anything, I'm only 5'8".

sellouts posted:Yeah it’s really hard and you don’t have to do super heavy weights! My legs are still dying from this two days later and I have power skating in like 3 hours. If any other out of shape idiots in this thread are thinking of starting this program start slow. I've started and stopped weightlifting lots of times so I'm used to DOMS but drat, this is next level. Also I took a brutal fall during warm up on Saturday when I found a hole in the ice and now my stick is making a rattling noise. I should definitely replace it with a more expensive one, yes?

I think I have poo poo rattling in the shaft of just about every stick I own. Then again, I'm cheap and don't like to buy sticks, even if they get chopped in half.

I'll accept that. I joke around with everyone on the ice: skaters, refs, and scorekeepers, even when I make terrible plays. Last season playoffs, we were in OT and I tipped one of their shots from the point right past my goalie to end our season. The other team asked if I wanted credit for the goal and I didn't chop anyone's stick in half. I laughed, said yes, then went and drank beer. I'm just out there to have fun and don't take it super seriously  e: My goalie is now 78th out of 189 players in league scoring with 10 "assists"

The last stick I bought was one of the more expensive sticks I've bought, I think it was like $150 on sale from like $180? I don't remember exactly I just know I try not to break much more than the $100 mark and hunt for sales pretty regularly but was feeling like treating myself. Anyway I don't think price has that much to do with rattle/not rattle because that stick almost immediately started having poo poo break off and rattle around the inside. To the point I actually took the plug out and emptied it and by the time I finished the next skate it was rattling again. I have dumped poo poo out of it like 3 times and I don't know how it hasn't shattered considering how much material has come out of it. It doesn't feel compromised and when empty it doesn't have the cracked stick sound, you know when you kind of bounce the stick on the ground a little bit and listen for vibrations? It still sounds solid. It is a mystery.

I’ve been playing with a broken stick for months. So obvious when I go to load up a snapper but it isn’t broke in half and what do I care? Being a smug rear end in a top hat isn’t being funny. Gotta know your audience and feel it out and if the dude is bummed he made a mistake it better be hilarious or it’s gonna come off wrong. An official told me once “say whatever you want to me as long as it’s funny. When it stops being or isn’t funny you’re going to the box.” Now we’re bros.

I had one of those a couple months back, was back checking and dude got a step on me so I started gliding and he ripped it past the goalie. The defense were all busy apologizing to the goalie thinking they'd messed up and on the bench I'm all "uhh nah, if I had taken one more stride I could have stick lifted and prevented the shot completely." But instead I stared and had the best seat in the house.
