I dunno, still sounds pretty Thunderdomey considering you were expecting a slash on the back of the leg and got cup checked instead.

I would vacate goal if I ever had to face that kind of bullshit. Then again I could use the "hey bro, when are you getting your call up?" chirp with sincerity.

I don't know if they do anything other brands than their own anymore though. I know they cut off supplying their palms to repair shops ... now you have to send them in direct for repair so I'm not sure that they service competitor gloves ... You might want to check

Same. Always fun to get a good chirp in. Have you guys seen the Mammoth hockey bag? Interesting but I don't think I'd pay that much money for one. calandryll fucked around with this message at 19:01 on Feb 12, 2016 |

xzzy posted:I'll say gently caress you in a handshake line, but only to my friends. last night in the handshake line, I told each one that they have pretty feet. 7-1 loss. our goalie continues to play more like a b-movie robot in pads than an actual goalie. at one point, I deflected a shot that ended up hitting him in the cage and dropping in the crease next to him. I couldn't get around to get it out before they poked it in, but the best part was our goalie blaming the forwards for not back checking, cuz yeah... that's why they lit you up blocker side like a traffic light.

Saw my first fight on the ice last game, weird being that close to it as opposed to seeing it on TV. Definitely not something I desire to get involved in into the future.

Vargatron posted:No you see what the forwards have to do is stand right in front of the oncoming shot and screen his goaltender. This is necessary because the defense stopped giving a poo poo midway through the first and are trying to catch their breath in the corners, meaning someone has to cover the slot. The center? Yeah that nicely describes where on the ice he's standing around waiting for a pass.

Those mammoth bags review really highly, but I think you could do just as good hunting down an old school canvas bag. Like these guys: http://www.americanhockeycenter.net/cat-custom-hockey-equipment-bags.cfm

Are the Mammoth bags the ones with the bottle opener on the strap that did a Kickstarter a couple of years ago?

During a game last night, I was defending in my own end, keeping the puck carrier to the outside and giving him a few token whacks against the shins as I tried for the sweep check. Eventually dispossessed him and the puck left the zone. I was skating on to it to start the breakout when the dude skated right into my path. With few options, I just lowered my shoulder into his chest and blew him up. Probably the closest thing to an actual body check I've ever done. There was a lot of grumbling from the guy and his bench, and I guess it was probably pretty borderline contact, but drat if it didn't feel neat to put him on his butt.

re: Bag chat I really like the Warrior bag I picked up a few years ago. Fits all my gear nicely, has some nice compartments, but also has the mesh top to it, which lets jerseys and socks air out nicely that I keep in there (I hang all my equipment on a stand). I'll use it until it rips or the straps come undone. http://www.hockeymonkey.com/warrior-hockey-equipment-bag-pro-player.html

How do you separate the man from the puck or just impede progress/potentially steal the puck in the neutral without hitting the guy? I see guys who manage to come away with the puck more often than not when they're pressuring forecheckers and I can't figure it out what it is they're doing, or what I'm doing wrong.

Stick lift is one obvious trick. I see a lot of players do what I call "Skating through their stick." Not much explanation to it but I will offer it anyway. You have to be able to get a step in front of them, then slide through the area between the body and the puck. They can defeat that by flipping, pulling etc. the puck to whatever side you are coming from and switching sides so they are basically now behind you. You see this play in lots of highlight videos.

We always did a lot of "get big" practice. You get arms out, try to get parallel to the guy with the puck, get your stick parallel to the body, and just try and take up as much physical space as you can. The bigger you are the more likely he is to hit you with the puck, or make a bad pass because he can't see where he's sending it.
