2 or 3? It was still a game at that point. That particular ref always has a raging boner for calling ticky tacky bullshit against us so I kinda chalked it up to that. In the other game that was going on next to us, one of their refs told someone to stop shooting so hard. I don't even Henrik Zetterberg fucked around with this message at 15:39 on Mar 5, 2012 |

In our final regular season game of the session, we were down 6-1 at the end of the first. Came back to lose 12-10. The first period was pretty rough, but felt good about battling back and making it competitive after a particularly rough season. Our team is really starting to come together though, and we've had a lot of guys already commit (verbally) to playing again next season.

We won a game 5-1 this season and on the 4-1 goal it was scored by our captain, who in all his time at university playing hockey in the intramurals, had never scored a goal. He skated and then slid and then got back up and rode his stick like a horse and then everyone piled on him. He's also graduating this year, so he only had 3 games left to get a goal. We had to go tell the other team afterwards it was his first goal ever in like 25+ games played. They were ok with it.

Nah, we didn't bust it open til the third when they started taking dumb penalties, including two 10-minute misconducts. The shots were fairly even for the first half of the game.

I had 15 skaters on my team last season purely for financial reasons, and that was about 2 guys too many. 13 is the sweet spot as you still have enough guys on the bench when people can't make the game.

So, dumb question. I saw an older guy today in goalie skates skating like pretty much exactly like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4B4k4dZVkM I always figured it was just because Tony O was ancient and had no more flexibility, but seeing another guy skate like this had me wondering. Is goalie technique really that different?

A couple years ago we had to corral one of our players when he went nuts before the third period. We were a lovely team doing a lovely job and he starts yelling about how we need to pull it together and beat the other team. He starts yelling and smashing his stick on the boards as hard as he can in his fervor. He was acting like a jackass and we all expected to get a penalty for it. It was a real rear end in a top hat move he pulled and just made us think he was a psychopath. We didn't get called on the noisiest stupidest macho displays I'd ever seen on the ice. After seeing that, I can't imagine anyone could get called for banging around in the player's box for a goal being scored. I'm sorry that you have a ref floating around like that.

All that matters is that you're out there trying and people will give you space to do your thing.

Nothing more frustrating than what I have to deal with on my team. The team is filled with below average to bad players. We constantly get beat 7+ to 1. I can deal with all of this but what I can't deal with is the one kid on the team that cherry picks most of the game. He can't skate worth a drat and once he picks the puck up from standing on their blue line, cant even get any speed to get past the one or two defenders to do anything. If by sheer luck he has a break away, he cant even put a good shot or move on the goalie. So after bringing the puck through the neutral zone and into their end, I manufacture this kid a goal from the corner. Two games in a row now I put this kid on the score sheet. Two minutes left in the game, sure enough, there he is cherry picking again. He gets the pass on the left boards and three guys flock to him to take the puck. I skate to the open ice an yell for a pass and nothing comes. He tries to beat three guys instead of dishing me the puck for a break away. This above all pisses me off more than a team full of low skilled players.

He probably won't change either until someone tells him to knock it off, or people stop sending him the puck. In the latter case, he'll probably start bitching that no one ever passes to him, at which point the entire locker room can make fun of him for being a selfish rear end.

I give the lower skilled players advice all the time. They eat it up and I love being able to coach them and give them the ins and outs of hockey. I never complain about people who struggle on the ice. It's the player that doesnt contribute and plays selfish that really sets me off. He is a buddy or family of the league owner so yelling at him really doesnt accomplish much.

You can have games where the goalie carries the team for a period or two before he runs out of energy and then the other team piles on goals in the last period or period in a half. Though those games are easy to spot, because the goalie is playing out of his mind and his teammaes are usually tripping over eachother while they allow 50 shots.

And yet another situation is where one team is definitely weaker than the other, but their best players are as good as or better than their opponents, and half the game is close. Then, the good players on the weaker team just start getting exhausted, coverage breaks down, and the better team can just start pumping goals in. e: that is to say, one team is balanced, their skill level is all about equal, while the other isn't, at all.

I don't care if someone is bad as long as they are making an effort to improve. If you're bad and you just don't give a poo poo then I'll kick you off the team because that isn't fair to everyone else. Haven't had that happen yet though, knock on wood.

That can definitely happen too and like you said it's just a matter that the stronger players can only cover for the weaker players for so long and once they wear down the rest of the team usually isn't good enough to step up.

The third scenario is where one team is alot worse, but are giving 150% effort in the two first periods before getting raped in the third when they are all winded.

They should call Bronze in any tournament the sandbaggers division. The dude who is cherry picking, I'd just have a very pointed conversation with him. Do you know cherry picking? Do you know what you're doing? If not, explain it to him. If he does, explain to him that you'll cause a billion turnovers rather than pass him the puck while he's doing it. You're already losing by large numbers, what's a few more? But if he's willing to play positionally you'll get him the puck and he'll have a chance to improve and pass and shoot and score. He's too lovely to get the puck himself, which makes him easy to eliminate from the play. If he starts skating offsides on purpose to stop the play there's not much you can do really other than get him the puck just enough to where he thinks there's a chance he'll get it, then remove him from the team next season. Or loving deck him.

For the first time in well...two plus seasons we had everyone show up tonight, which meant we rolled with 12 skaters. For some reason instead of going with two groups of 4 skaters per forward line, and then 4 D, thus meaning every group had one person sit each shift which would let you skate with the same line throughtout the game. We decided to go with 5 D, and then two lines of fowards with one person going in one by one for each person on both lines. It sort of worked through the first and some of the second, but we had a forward get semi-injured on a play and he had to come out before his shift was over and that was the end of that idiotic plan. It didn't matter tho, we steamrolled one of the better teams in the league which felt pretty good because it was nice knowing you could skate all out and get a decent rest on the bench if you needed it. Also because of prior tips this time when I got an assist I made sure to get to the scorer quickly and then tell the ref that I had a hand in the goal. Must've worked cause I got credited for my one tap-in goal and 2 assists on other goals.

We beat them 7-1 in goals, they beat us 20-0 in unnecessary slashes to unpadded areas and fight solicitations. CHL skill levels are...variable. I play drop-in/lunch league with the former captain of a CHL team and I've seen him absolutely undress every player on the ice. The last time I scored a goal against him (i.e. he was within 2' of the puck), he was annoyed enough to take the puck from the face-off, dangle around three guys (not scrubs), and put the puck in like he was going out to get the paper. The worst part is that he's also the nicest sum'bitch on the ice.
