At that speed you could skate the length of the rink in 3.7 seconds, and probably die from hitting the boards. McDavid's been clocked at 24.8 mph during a game, so check the mailbox for your nhl contract.

Oh yeah, our goalie was super drunk for that game. Shots were even and we lost 7-3. Good poo poo.

I fell down like five times in today's game, but I still had a blast and I think the reason I'm falling down more now than I used to is because I'm being more aggressive instead of shying away from contact like I did previously.

Henrik Zetterberg posted:He's also old and really fat. Then some experimentation will help. Unlike skaters, a drunk goalie can play better with the right combination of alcohols. For me, if I want to get drunk before a game and play well, I'll have a couple of shots of Wild Turkey and two pints of Dos. I do not drink this combination at any other time in my life, but if I want to get shitcanned and play well, that's my weapon of choice. I suggest working from the bottom up: Old Crow and Nattys.

Do cheese slices have any effect on the ratio? Like can I get a triple cheeseburger with one slice of cheese and stay under 2.0? Or is a single cheeseburger with 3 cheese slices considered over 2.0?

It correlates with the price of cheese. If a cheeseburger is 10 cents more expensive than a hamburger, it's negligible. If it's a dollar for cheese and you slap three slices on that bad boy, you are in big trouble.

Man we have the worst loving refs at my rink. Things escalated throughout the game due to dumb calls and lots of more non-calls. I had a breakaway with 4 mins left in a tie game. I’m about to put a move on the goalie and I get checked from behind, fall awkwardly and end up twisting my ankle pretty badly and sliding feet-first into the boards. I end up having to get dragged off the ice for the first time in my illustrious beer league career. Other dude gets ejected and has an incoming suspension which is fine and dandy, but man, I hate it when refs don’t control the game and poo poo ends up escalating into an injury. Now I’m on the couch for the next couple days. Also, it helps a lot to have firefighters and paramedics on the team, even if they only show up 25% of the time.

And on a positive note, I scored 2 shorties in one shift. For the second one, there was a big scramble in front of the net and the puck was sitting in the crease with an open net. I lean forward to poke it in, and I get hit from behind (see a theme yet?), and I end up going airborne, head-first into the net. While I’m mid air, the puck ends up popping straight up and going off my helmet and into the net with me. It probably shouldn’t have counted but it was rad as hell celebrating a soccer-style header goal in the net behind an angry goalie.

Pretty fun game last night. One of our normal D was out so I played back but got paired with our captain who is not great. One of the other D warned me before that I'd probably need to spend all my time watching for his bad pinches and turnovers and that was basically true. It was still a lot of fun though. Gave up one goal defending a guy 1v1 on the rush when he tried to make a move around me, put the puck off my skates, and it deflected 5 hole The only other goal against while I was out was because my D partner decided to wave his stick at a puck over head height and deflected it perfectly into our own net, can't do much but laugh at that. Also I forgot my shoulder pads at home so of course I caught a high shot in the shoulder.

Several years ago a team was started of completely learn to play guys. They have been pretty hacky since day one because no one on the team had ever played before they just slam sticks against you. We played them on Sunday night and I ended up taking a stick to the jaw/throat because a guy was wildly swinging his stick around. Luckily all I got is a nice bump on my jaw. Plenty of beer after the game helped I'm sure. At least we only play them 2 more times.

I scored twice today. The first I pickpocketed the opposing defenseman in the left circle and immediately went five-hole. The second was a one-timer on a perfect pass from a teammate. The coach for my Thursday classes was in net for the other team, so they were very satisfying. Apparently a fight broke out during Friday's Rat Hockey session. I only play on Tuesdays, but according to some of the guys I talked to today, there's a guy who plays Fridays that has the nickname "Chopper" for a reason. Someone finally got sick of all his slashing and went after him.

When the refs will let full on body checks and hooks go, then call some ticky tack interference or something as some weak attempt to gain control. But it only pisses people off even more because they aren't calling the obvious stuff but cracking down on poo poo that doesn't even have an impact on the play until it all spirals out of control and it ends up with injuries, ejections and suspensions. I understand the players have responsibility in this too but when rear end in a top hat players are given the green light to play like assholes it gets people pissed off. Combine with adrenaline and a contact sport poo poo is gonna escalate quickly unless you nip that poo poo in the bud.

Man, switching to goal has done wonders for my hockey popularity. I’m tending my D3 team, I’ve been in net for three of five for a D2 team, and I’ve subbed for a couple times for a different D1 teams. It’s strange and wonderful. Edit: Has anyone in the Chicago area done either Rat or Stick/Puck at MB Ice? I'm off next Wednesday and thinking about hitting up the Stick/Puck.

The core issue with that one is dressing for a game that has 6 defensive players. Walk into a locker room and see that and https://i.imgur.com/zGHQb4O.gifv

What if your entire team consists of defense? That's pretty much my team right now, all but 3 of us pretty much have only played defense.

I know a lot of people hate it, but we have a lot of pure “gently caress no I’m not playing forward, that’s too much skating” old/lazy D-men.

Played my first non-noob, play-for-trophies game in 20 years tonight (and after fighting bronchitis for 3 loving weeks). First period: felt OK. Second period: this is no longer fun and good, why am I doing this, I'm old and weak and I'll probably die. Third period: got my second wind, felt better with the puck, made some decent plays, got an assist. Won the game 3-1. I'll be dead tomorrow but I grinned the whole way home.
