Man. I have an 11pm game tonight. The wife had a ladies' night out to dinner/drinks/movie and was supposed to be home ten minutes ago, but after the movie found herself still somehow too drunk to drive. (this is an issue because we have small kids) Raawwrrr.

real_scud posted:Then halfway through the 2nd our youngest skater, a kid of about 22-23 got cross-checked around the head or had some guy do a douche move. A penalty was called and a minor scrum happened between our guys and theirs but nothing major. Then as he's going to the box the young kid on our team decided to call the other guy a friend of the family (even though he's a hipster-ish white guy) and that's all she wrote for his playing time that game. Of course because he got a 5, 10 and game misconduct someone had to serve his penalty, so while it should've been a 5 on 5 we had to play a man down until the player serving the idiots penalty got out. This kid got sent an email from the league director about what he did and that he was going to be suspended for 2 games because of his actions, nothing major and honestly only 2 games was pretty decent. But this kid being a complete shitheel had some other ideas entirely, here's his response to a calm email stating he was banned for 2 games because he threw his stick, used a racial slur and was a general rear end in a top hat to the refs. Idiot on my team posted:First of all. The word "friend of the family" is not a racial slur, I live with a black man. A friend of the family, IMO, is a POS person, such as that guy that has repeatedly came after me for the past two season. But next time I'll just call him a gently caress face, and meet him in the parking lot. He also hit me in the face with his stick, but no one seems to care about that, I did not strike the guy in anyway, but he did to me, multiple times. So thank you for your biased bull poo poo suspension.

Well, I had fun at stick&puck yesterday. We were playing some 5 on 5, and we were shooting on a Shooter Tutor-type board, and this big like 6'3" guy on the other team in a Solar Bears jersey is in front of the net, actively blocking shots. With no upper body padding and not even a visor. So naturally I take a wrister from the point (and trust me, my shot sucks) and he turned away for some reason. It hit him in the hip or maybe lower back. I immediately said "Oh poo poo, sorry!" and he just stares me down, yelling "What the gently caress, dude? TOTALLY un-loving-called for!" and poo poo like that.  Like, am I wrong? I get that it probably stung to get hit, but maybe wear some pads? And/or don't block shots, especially at sick&puck? And yeah he was better than me (even if the ECHL jersey was just for fun) so I'm sure he would say "you have to control your shots", but do you really trust every rando at open hockey? And it's not like I hit him in the face or something... Anyways, I just kinda hung back and let everyone else shoot from that point out. I got to practice playing D some more, and man does that "arm tucked to disguise your reach" trick work well. I was definitely the worst player out there, as usual, but I broke up a lot of plays with sneaky quick poke checks. Brettbot fucked around with this message at 16:47 on Jul 13, 2015 |

I probably wouldn't have shot, but dude was asking for it standing in front of the net. gently caress 'em. I had the stupidest loving goal last night, race for the puck in a corner, me versus two dudes. I get there a split second faster.. one dude bumps me in the back, other dude gets his stick on my stick. I just blindly swipe at it backhand towards the slot hoping there's a teammate there to make something out of it because with two guys on me there was nothing I could have done. Puck ends up rolling on edge at maybe walking speed and arcs towards the net. I lose sight of it and a second later everyone on the team starts cheering. Somehow it made it over the goal line completely untouched. Goalie probably felt like poo poo. xzzy fucked around with this message at 14:25 on Jul 13, 2015 |

In continuing div8 news: I was a hot sack of steaming garbage last night. Out there on d for all 3 goals against with the game winner being a shorthanded goal off of a poo poo pass from me picked up in their zone for a breakaway when we were on the PP. Just had such a bad, bad game.

I skated 61 minutes out of a possible 65. We had 6 skaters total. We lost 3-2 in OT after giving up 2 goals in the final 1:24 and the ot goal with 17 seconds left. Sometimes there just isn't enough gas left in the tank. Brettbot posted:Well, I had fun at stick&puck yesterday.

No. Tell him to get the gently caress out of the way unless he is fishing pucks out of the net or fixing the tutor.

I got smacked in the head by a clapper at a pickup game earlier this year while I was covering the point. I was working on getting my defensive zone positioning down as a winger and I'll be drat if the guy didn't wind up head high while I was in front of him. The puck bent my cage and I'm pretty sure I would have been blinded if it hit me square in the face. The guy was apologetic about it, but I can't believe he wound up like that during a pickup game. Oh well, that's why we wear helmets I guess.

I mean its hockey so while yeah the guy could have tried not to hit you, he was also taking a slapshot which is part of the game and you were in the way. You don't get paid so while you see NHL players standing in front of pucks you certainly don't have to. Next time just smother him like stink on poo poo so he can't even get a shot off. While you might not take pickup games seriously, other people do to some degree. I don't expect game 7 of the stanley cup kind of intensity but I do prefer a game thats fast and challenging. I expect slap shots and chippy play as if it were a regular game. Would I take a slapshot with someone in front of me? Probably not, but would I expect someone to ease up? Not really. Thats one of those situations you just chalk up to experience, the guy sounded apologetic so just skate away and don't put yourself in positions that you would get hit with a puck if thats not what you want to happen..

Our team is now significantly different, Nitramster has abandoned us! Only about half the team came back. We beat Top Shelf last night 4-3, rough game, they have a new ringer who is significantly faster/smoother than anyone else. Had to really adjust gap and then just run into him to keep him from sweet dangles.

Haha I knew it wouldn't last. Our game last night was a complete poo poo show, topped off by an elbow being thrown in the hallway going to the locker rooms. I played on a line with my girlfriend. She had a breakaway and this guy skated her down, actually tackled her and she went head-first into the boards. If my vacation were to start this week instead of next, I would have gladly taken the suspension from telling him how overweight his mother is. It was a 7-goal game with 5 minutes left, so there was absolutely no need for it. Some people...

Honestly I'd say let her fight her own battles. It's probably tough enough to have everybody either thinking you need special treatment with having your boyfriend jumping up for you. I mean it's a lovely play by the other guy and this wouldn't come into play if she was a dude but even so. But maybe she wants to be able to stand up for herself. Although I could be wrong and she may not give a poo poo if somebody on her team sticks up for her.

A truly ridiculous amount of hockey over the next six days. Four different leagues and a hockey camp. Tuesday: Beer League #1 Game at 8:30p Wednesday: Beer League #2 Game at 9:40p Thursday: Weekend Warriors Hockey Camp Ice Session #1 6-8p, Beer League #3 Game at 11p Friday: Camp Ice Session #2 9-11a, Ice Session #3 3:30-5:30p, Beer League #4 Game at 9:50p Saturday: Camp Ice Session #4 9:30-11:30a, Ice Session #5 3:30-5:30p Sunday: Camp Ice Session #6 9:30-11:30a That's like fourteen hours of ice time. I'm probably going to die. If I do, you can all fight over my stuff.

I'm the opposite, the more I skate the better my hips feel. I typically don't skate from Sunday to Thursday and the first 10 minutes when I step on the ice on Thursdays is pretty drat miserable. The only part of my body that really suffers with lots of skating is my quads.

Scored a straight up D2 style knuckle puck goal from the point yesterday. Took a misfired one timer on a misfired pass from my partner, saw it fly four feet into the air and then down to bounce several feet out from the slot. Goalie never stood a chance. And it was mostly downhill for him from there on out.

Getting hit with the puck in that situation is basically being given a breakaway where you don't have to worry about stick-handling for the first 3 steps.

Honest to God, about 15 feet in front of him. The puck would have gone over the glass and into the netting. I don't know if it was his stick or he just had a bad release, but it came up high. Edit: This was the opposing team's defenseman and I was backchecking, not one of my own guys.
