I've got Supreme EE's and Nexus Ds coming today for comparison. Surely one of them will work. The customs are waaaaaay out of my budget. If we weren't getting new siding/new HVAC/new roof all at once I probably would. Thanks for reminding me about all the ridiculous checks I'm writing this week. poo poo. Edit: it's the Supremes. Kind of wish the Nexus fit, they look sick. a mysterious cloak fucked around with this message at 00:51 on Jun 14, 2018 |

Lost a heartbreaker in OT 2-1 for the vaunted beer league title. It's 3 on 3, there's three seconds left (goes to a shootout after 5 mins). Their guy catches an airborne puck top of the circle. We have a guy covering him, but the guy fails to push him or poke the puck away. Guy spins and shoots low corner. Game over. It's beer league hockey though so who really cares but what a way to lose. Now I get to enjoy summer league where there's a few ex pros playing  . Nobody AHL/NHL level thankfully. Just ex D1 or low pro guys and a smattering of good d3 players. Everyone else is pretty much your run of the mill B/A quality player you'd see in any local beer league. Still a challenge to keep up though, but fun.

First pro skate this year in the books. The other goalie was the gold medal USA womens goalie and it was really fun to play against her. I'm used to switching after 5 goals but we didn't at this skate which I was fine with since I faced more of the NHL players for the entire time. I wish I kept my gopro after we went an extra 10 mins, I made 3 breakaway saves on Stafford and caused him to bust his stick in 3. There were definitely a couple goals I'd like to have back (around 2:00) but overall I felt pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kKyIlnq4V8

I had the prettiest goal of my life today. My teammate unleashed a slapper from the left side of the blue line and I just perfectly deflected it to the opposite side of the net from the goalie through traffic. I could've tried it a hundred times and not ever gotten it so textbook. It felt really good.

Most intentional beer league deflections end up as blocks so consider it a success. Nothing like sending a hard shot into an open corner of the net only to have your buddy attempt to redirect it, instead stopping the puck dead in its tracks and knocking it down out of mid air.

Since I play defense I've scored a few on my own goalie and on the other goalie  .The worst was one in a midget tournament where I reached out to catch a floater from the blueline with my glove and instead of properly catching it I deflected it with my glove past our goalie into the net. So I try not to do that any more.

Most of the time at my lovely mid tier level, guys try to redirect/deflect pucks and it negatively affects the outcome of the initial shot meaning it blocks the shot or makes it go wide. If it goes in, gently caress yeah, celebrate like that was what you were trying to do all along.

I have deflected 3 pucks in 3 years of playing. 2 were stopped, one was an amazing positional save. The third went in and it was perfect going from top corner one side, to bottom corner in the other. I will never do it again.

So at a lovely level you try and fail, cool but if it goes in you weren’t trying. Weird differentiation.

If people are complaining about attempted deflections being straight up stopped, it probably means the shot wasn't moving fast enough to be deflected in the first place. He might also be saying don't even bother trying to deflect/redirect shots but if you are in the way and puck deflects off your stick and goes in then act like you meant to do it? I don't know. I like trying for tips though. It is fun when you make eye contact with the point while you're standing out front and you both sync up and he gives you a perfect height shot for deflecting and it goes right in off your stick and into the net.

Yes, but that isn’t what he was saying at all. He acknowledged that people try deflections (poorly) but then said if it actually goes in pretend like that’s what you were trying to do. Like there’s any other point to trying. If you try a deflection at any level and it goes in, congrats, that’s what you were trying to do. Who is actively trying to deflect a puck anywhere else?

If people are complaining about attempted deflections being straight up stopped, it probably means the shot wasn't moving fast enough to be deflected in the first place. This sums up what I was trying to say. And yes, those are incredible. At higher levels, guys are shooting the puck hard and accurate enough that tips are more likely to continue past a players stick after contact. At lower levels with less power and accuracy ... when a player attempts to tip a puck, they often end up just blocking the shot altogether essentially robbing your own team of a quality shot. A lot of lower level skaters are pretty much just trying to get a piece of the puck and end up clubbing it to a stop. I get it though. If I'm playing in front of the goalie, in addition to screening him I'm going to try to make the puck as unpredictable as possible and get a tip on it. The primary goal of my post was to say "its fun to tip pucks, but at my level most guys end up blocking the shot instead" On an unrelated note, a few buddies and myself started bringing sticks to our local hockey bar. Someone bought a small street hockey net and a shooter tutor and leave it in the back room. It started during the playoffs and we just kept the sticks there for communal use. At one point we had 15 people and a small crowd in the alley. Its hard to describe the amount of fun you can have when you're playing drunk street hockey. poo poo was a blast.

My very first goal on ice in anything ever was an on-purpose (lucky as hell) deflection over the goalie's leg pads. Flash forward however many years and my most recent "goal" is a shot from the half boards that was sailing WAY way wide that, as I was turning around, bounced off my chest and just over my goalie.

Duke Chin posted:lol wait what there's street hockey happening at the angry beaver now???? I'm not sure if you know who Leif is (highlanders 5a) but he brought the net. Unfortunately now that its summer, the beaver gets kind of dead so it just depends on who is there. Had a really "fun" game last night. It was a physical game from the start. They had one guy who was rather small and unskilled but mostly can't skate very well and got knocked over all night long by getting in peoples lanes, we'll call him Bambi. He started getting pissed that he was getting knocked over and started slashing people that ran into him. At one point Bambi and one of our better players were going for the same puck, side by side, shoulder to shoulder into the boards. Both players lean into one another but Bambi is much smaller and a bad skater, so he loses his balance and falls head first into the boards. Our guy asks if he's okay, gets a yes, then skates back into the play. Ref tells the other team that it wasn't a penalty, Bambi tried to push into our player but lost his balance and isn't a strong skater. Cue the drama. One of their guys blows up on the bench about the no call. They warn the guy. Thats followed by a "GO gently caress YOURSELF". They give the guy a bench minor, he steps onto the ice and proceeds to chest bump the ref trying to get him to fight. He gets a 10 minute (which is also his third penalty and results in an ejection. As he's leaving the ice he keeps telling the ref to gently caress himself earning another game misconduct, then another. His team is screaming at him to get off the ice and stop talking. During the stoppage, their goalie skates out to center ice challenging ours to a fight. It was beautiful. He's going to miss a quarter of the short summer season from a penalty that started on the bench. Thats brilliant. The game continues. One of our players got a jump on a puck and went into the offensive zone. He beat their last defenseman, pushed the puck up the boards and went into the corner. Their crazy goalie charges the corner, checks our player who was going for the puck. Our player turned around and pushed him off and earns a roughing call. Things started to erupt again. The score was 2-4 with 30 seconds left after all that mess, we just told the refs to run the clock out. We were down 2 goals with 30 seconds left, the game was out of hand and we were done with it. Their goalie howled when the final horn sounded. Like a wolf. Here's the penalty sheet: Icemen: 13 Infractions for 66 Minutes Renegades: 5 Infractions for 10 Minutes 1st Period Penalties: Icemen 4B, Eriksen (Holding - 2 Min) 13:10 Icemen 4B, Brooks (Tripping - 2 Min) 8:08 Renegades, Bridwell (Elbowing - 2 Min) 4:21 Renegades, Armstrong (Slashing - 2 Min) 2:44 2nd Period Penalties: Icemen 4B, Brooks (Tripping - 2 Min) 9:58 Icemen 4B, Hughes (Roughing - 2 Min) 6:50 Icemen 4B, Eriksen (Holding - 2 Min) 4:21 3rd Period Penalties: Renegades, Steedle (Slashing - 2 Min) 8:46 Icemen 4B, Jones (Slashing - 2 Min) 8:46 Icemen 4B, Hughes (Unsportsmanlike Conduct - 2 Min) 6:36 Icemen 4B, Hughes (10 Min Misconduct - 2 Min) 6:36 Icemen 4B, Hughes (Game Misconduct - 2 Min) 6:36 Icemen 4B, Hughes (Game Misconduct - 2 Min) 6:36 Renegades, Corso (Interference - 2 Min) 3:36 Renegades, Steedle (Roughing the goalie - 2 Min) 0:25 Icemen 4B, Bajwa (Slashing - 2 Min) 0:11 Icemen 4B, Bajwa (10 Min Misconduct - 2 Min) 0:11 Icemen 4B, Bench Minor (Unsportsmanlike Conduct - 2 Min) 0:11

The one above and one like 3-4 years ago. I took a slapper from the point, it went top corner, hit the bottle. It flew straight up like 15 feet, the lid popped off and his water went everywhere. It was great. Red Powerade would have made it better though, for sure.

The NHL sucks for making goalies use those foam sleeves for their bottles. I don't care if the reason is to help see the puck on video reviews, exploding bottles own.

Here's my personal Hall of Fame candidate for a shitshow beer league game: https://stats.rv.timetoscore.com/oss-scoresheet.php?game_id=17501 And this is probably the best scoresheet I've ever seen in my life. Unfortunately not my game: https://stats.rv.timetoscore.com/oss-scoresheet.php?game_id=13950 Every single one of those is a legit penalty. The winning team dumped the puck at the end of the game and a guy on the losing end boarded that dude. Both benches cleared. I think like half of both teams were suspended for 5 games next season or something. It was great. And it was the beginner league.

Man I can't think of any time I've ever destroyed an opponent's water bottle. I have accidentally destroyed my own goalies water bottle though. It was during warmups. He brought just a store bought Poland Springs sport bottle and he was off to the side stretching but he already threw his water in the top of the net and I busted the top right off that thing. He wasn't too happy, and I wasn't thrilled to piss my own goalie off before a game, but come on man. If your aren't going to bring a legit water bottle keep it on the dasher away from the net until the game starts like just about every other goalie does.
