I get why it’s a funny thing to read, but I don’t know how else to describe it. I was closer to the net, he was on my backhand side. All of my momentum was going the behind the net to clear the puck. He brushed shoulders with me and literally dove off his feet into the boards. It takes 100% of my concentration to skate and hit a moving puck, and even if I could mentally manage to hit someone, I couldn’t physically launch him with my bottom hand while following through on the clear attempt. I can’t process buying hundreds of dollars in gear, paying hundreds of dollars in league dues, just to come do that late on a Thursday evening when you can dive around a soccer field for way less and at more convenient times.

here’s a suggestion. You got your first penalty. It was easier than you expected

Now that you can't claim you've never taken a boarding penalty, you might as well just board someone next game. You know, so you can actually know what the rush of power feels like, the exhilaration of the check that makes the 2 minutes in the box all the more sweeter.

Skated in a drop in tonight that started with the dudes dad in the 60s. loving wild. Skill level was pretty competitive. Also some good and fast dude smoked me for 1 and a post in the first shift and from then on i went back to pee wee hockey and watched his hips for what he was going to do. After that kept him to the outside at worst. Feels good to have a good skate for once.

Won last night 11-7. Anyone wanna take a stab at when the other team decided to just put all five of their best players out and keep them out the rest of the game?

Any game whose goal total climbs into double digits, you start marking down goalie assists.

Yeah, their goalie did not have a good night. Ours was fine until they started turning it up at the end, though the rest of the team had kind of stopped trying as much until it looked like they might actually get back in the game.

xzzy posted:Another teammate had knee surgery and was back full time in two weeks. Doctor said if it felt good it was safe to play, as it helps the strengthening. But two weeks is insane. Was it a meniscus scoping? bewbies posted:also there's a couple new guys on our team and I had two new linemates. one was literally fat, but was also really loving good, and the other had a huge beard and reeked of whiskey and cigarettes so I think he's basically a hobo. Was his name Brent? Was his last name Burns?

We had two good goalies at last night's game and played to a hard-fought, chance-heavy 1-1 draw. Don't often get to do that in a beer league...was a fun experience.

Wolves vs Renegades? Rode dirt bikes with my friend all day yesterday and then had a game at 11pm which didn't start until 11:15. The other team only had 5 skaters but they were a division higher than us and their goalie was really solid. It ended in a 1-1 tie with a poo poo ton of chances both ways so it was crazy to only see a 1-1 game. Nothing like rolling home around 2am and falling asleep drat near instantaneous.

xzzy, jesus man. I know it was late last night but you gotta move your legs... and you know, not run into a team with a couple guys who shouldn't be in D at all. I'm actually considering emailing Hawk about that game to bring up how far beyond Orange Gloves was from everyone else. Dude was taking five minute shifts.

sellouts posted:drat had to call him out publicly huh I was calling him out from the stands. And he heard me, because he responded. Don't get me wrong, the poo poo talking was happening when the score was still a reasonable 1-0. And that 1 goal was on a flukey rear end misplay by the goalie. Myself, a couple teammates, and a couple guys from the team we'd just beaten were in the stands actively jeering their opposition for running up the score and hoping the shutout would get broken up. Bewbies, we're both on teams that are supposed to be the next step up from adult instructional leauge. (AIL, D3, D2, D1, C3, C2, C1)

Eh, I don't specifically know what you saw but in my head if I'm not moving it's because I'm trying to read what's going on. They had at least three guys that scored whenever they shot, and when they wanted to make it look like a real game they hit perfect passes to their charity cases. I get real gunshy when I get burned and they were doing it regularly. When one of their actual D3 scrubs had the puck I was making good plays and you can't change my mind.  Our issue isn't defense anyways. Yeah we had an epic bad game but the goose egg the offense laid is the bigger issue and is what sinks us every week, we haven't broken two goals in a game all season.

Played last night, jesus loving christ there were two guys on the other team that just poo poo all over us. They were clearly slumming it with us D leaguers and they didn't slow down the whole game, which made it not-fun really fast.

Anyone got a LiveBarn sub? I had a goal last week that I'll probably never top and would like to print it out and be buried with it. I'll throw a few bucks to someone if they can help me get a clip.

I had a really weird catastrophic shoelace failure where my lace ripped into 5 separate pieces all at once. I have no idea how this is possible unless someone ran over it with their skate, which I'm pretty sure I would've noticed.

The only time I ever "noticed" my lace getting shredded was when some dick clown at american highland in lincolnwood was foot stomping me in front of their net while cross checking me. That was the first and only time I ever felt the need for punching someones teeth clean through to their rear end in a top hat. I've probably lost a dozen laces through the years from various skate cuts that I didn't notice until my lace was dangling and it was clearly cut. It happens often enough to just keep a spare set of laces in your bag.

I've never seen a mercy rule in beer league hockey, but this is generally how it works in every softball league I've played in. You play, and if someone hits the Mercy rule, the ump calls the game. It kinda sucks since I'd still rather play it out and get my money's worth. I don't give a poo poo if I get owned in a recreational activity. I play to win but it's not my Stanley Cup or anything. I got that stuff out of my system in high school.

Getting kicked off the ice you paid for would have me bitching to the commissioner real quick. You don't get to demand thousands of dollars for a team and then shortchange them because they bad. (maybe give them more ice with a printout of drills to practice)

No mercy rules that I know of and even if you're really short they'll still let you play as long as you have at least 6 and a goalie. And the commissioner is a cool dude who will sub in and play if you really can't get a 6th. Of course he's an ex pro so he can only really do that and have it not be unfair in B league but I've seen him play goalie in C league for shits and giggles when they're missing guys.

If you get mercy ruled just mix the teams and do a scrimmage. No sense in wasting ice time.
