z0331 posted:I think I basically played it the way you're supposed to, so eh. Only reason I was thinking that is because at this level it was probably less likely he'd get a solid pass off and that the other guy could get an accurate shot off versus him just getting the clear shot. Sucks about the injury... definitely agree with you, the ice was real bad. I didn't stick around after my game to see yours and the play, but playing the pass was the right thing to do. Obviously it's the generally correct way, but also I played on the Bees a couple of seasons and they all play really well together. They're one team I would expect to be successful on that pass most times. They certainly exploited it against us the last time we played. I'm not sure when you play the Silverbacks next, but if you want, introduce yourself. I'll be the D man in the bright blue helmet.

In a 2-on-1 scenario at my level I almost always play the shooter as well. The odds of someone making a good pass, the other guy receiving the pass, and the guy receiving the pass also getting a good shot off are very low. The odds of the puck carrier just coughing up the puck under pressure are way higher. That being said I scored off a beauty pass in a 2 on 1 last night so it's not perfect. 9 out of 10 times I'm flubbing that play though.

Playing the top team in the D Division tonight (my former team) who has a player coming back from a 7 game suspension from fighting. It could get ugly out there tonight.

I play low level and for 2 on 1's I start off about midway between them trying to cut off the pass but as they get closer I crowd towards the puck carrier.

why in the gently caress would you pay a bunch of money to play low rent adult rec hockey and then get in a fight and get suspended from playing hockey that you paid for

He was drafted in my (garbage level) round. He paid around $350-400 for not even two games and a jersey.

I thought so too but in the video if you watch the slow replay the puck rolls up on him so it was much "safer" to try and dunk it which gave me time. *content edit* Before that skate all those guys were talking about how great the ARP Wave system is, I think a number of them had purchased their own (they're not cheap). Has anyone here actually used one before? titanium fucked around with this message at 22:32 on Jun 23, 2017 |

What can I do to help remedy this and work on it? Practice stepping over your foot while next to the bench to get used to the feeling. Do this on both directions until you are comfortable then try and do the motion while skating.

You know your team had a good game when the opposing goalie breaks his own stick over the net. Twice.

Met an ECHL player at a party over the weekend. He's been playing pro for 5 years and had a bunch of injuries this past season, so he's leaning towards retiring from the game and coaching. I didn't even bother telling him about the men's league because I'm sure it would be a joke compared to the level he plays, but I immediately kicked myself for not at least getting his number in case he ever wanted to skate.

I'm also very good at being frustrated that I'm not progressing as fast as I'd like. We're only 2 weeks into Summer Schedule and the fact that my ice time has been cut in half is already taking its toll.

The only ice time I can find here right now is with a bunch of very bad players and I'm unsure what to do about this. Yesterday I went with "pass a lot". On the plus side I skated yesterday for the first time in 4 months or so, that was good.

I took a trip back to the "beginner" level clinic, haven't been in a few months (it usually only has a few beginners and a bunch of dudes who just wanna hang out on the ice that have been going for years). Holy poo poo, I can take the puck off of everyone there now. I still can't shoot for poo poo but whatever, i'm a D-man. I also took two shots on net in my last game, which is rare. First time I skated up, my winger gave it to me because i'm faster than him and wasn't marked, he dropped back and I took a shot from just outside the slot into the goalies chest. Ok whatever, I can't aim and it rebounded away. Second shot was from the point, I slapped it and it hit the dudes pad. We didn't score off it because the rebound shot hit the goddamn post, but goddamn it felt good.

Maybe it's the windows and the glass on the one end. A/o the lovely Zamboni & driver. Last year we had a game where our goalie went to play the puck, the puck didnt move off the ice and the opposing team player was forechecking and picked up the stuck puck and put it in the empty net with ease. If I recall correctly, We lost 1-0. Also, here's an ankle update. It's been 8 weeks since I broke my ankle. Was in a splint for 2 weeks before surgery, 2 weeks again after surgery. Then another 2 weeks of 0% weight bearing, the last 2 weeks started PT and am about 75% weight bearing and should be 100% within the next week. Use a walking boot when out & about but not at home which is ok. Hope to get back on the ice in early August at open ice, then September to some pickup hockey and then league play for when winter season starts in October.

And yes, it'll feel weird and awkward as hell at first. I feel like the ice around here is really inconsistent. Olympic view tends to be my favorite ice quality and the rink is kept cold. The WHL main sheets are usually very nice but they are warm to skate in. Xfinity community ice - this rink is usually the hottest of all, they pump in hot air through the ceiling vets which blows directly onto the ice. Soft ice results, cut is usually good. Xfinity Main Ice - usually really well cut, can be really warm in the rink though, ice is usually pretty good. Olympic View - almost always good ice, cool inside the rink, pretty consistently well cut. Probably the most consistently best ice in the Seattle area. Lynnwood - really inconsistent, rink is warm at times, soft ice, bad cuts, zamboni can be good, or absolutely terrible depending on who is driving. Kent Valley - usually decent, can get warm during the day thanks to the windows. Generally its one of the cooler rinks inside. Generally good cut but depends on the driver. Showare - almost always good ice, rink can get warm but ice usually stays pretty nice. Cut is always top notch.

I scored a goal from my knees (deking from my knees actually) as I was being tripped against this girl goalie who used to play for BU in our Summer league and felt good about it then immediately felt bad about it because I'm actually a goalie and probably the worst forward on our A team and man that's gotta be embarrassing for her  It was pretty sweet though. Much like my one knee top shelfer from last summer from the hash it will never happen again though.
