Swimming across the ice on your stomach makes me think "guy scores all the time" for sure.

I compliment whoever set up my goal or if the goal is bullshit I call it bullshit and laugh about it then skate back to center. I can't imagine caring more than that. It is heartwarming to see the dudes who celebrate a lot do their thing. If it matters that much to them then they deserve it

I play floorball but yeah, I'm that guy who always celebrate a goal with a fistpump(or two if it was a particularly nice goal) while the others pretty much shrug and return to their side. I've also done the Selänne duck-hunting thing when I scored the dumbest goal ever. But then, I've also spent the next 30 seconds on the floor once when I got tripped when scoring and hit my head in the goal frame.

I usually do a fist-pump and thank whoever set me up, if possible, and then skate back to center. Only time I've done anything vastly different was in the playoffs last season when we were down by 2 or 3 and I got a goal off the goalies back leg. That was probably the first real celebration plus a loud "gently caress yeah!"

A guy I play roller hockey with celebrates absolutely every goal he scores by sheathing the sword. It is a reflex action at this point, totally out of his control. He's also pretty bad. In related news we play posts if we only have one goalie and without fail his plan of attack is to cross the red line and fire a high floating wrister in the general direction of the frame. He'll hit one out of ten of these just based on dumb luck. Without fail, the sword gets sheathed when these goals are scored. Also today we play for the title of "best hockey team in Oklahoma that isn't an AHL team or a CHL team or a college team". I think, anyway. I assume we'd beat the beer league champs in Tulsa and the bantam kids. I'm getting myself pumped for the game by planting my fall garden.

After I get confident with skating again I really gotta work on my blue line cannon so that I can maybe get some goals.\ In other news the hockey class starts in 3 weeks and I'm super excited. Kinda wish I had a way to practice shooting and other hockey specific skills before that, though. Don't really have a wall to slam pucks against nearby.

I always want to celebrate a goal in a show boating way but every time I do score a goal I always forget to. I usually just lift up my arms and then get embarrassed at the cheers and compliments from my teammates as I go back to the bench or face-off circle.

I keep meaning to do the NHL12 one knee circular ice sweep/ fist pump thing but I always forget. I usually do the double fist pump and yell if its a big goal.

Won championship. Other team had an off-duty ref playing on it and he was literally calling the game for the actual refs. It was pretty bad. We came back to win after being down 3-1, all three of their goals happened when they were up two men. Also had three semi-fights, one including the goalie, one that I was in after time expired. A guy who I know pretty well actually did the "I'm not going to shake your hand" thing to me when we were shaking hands. Apparently people actually do that. GWG was scored by our grinder kid who skates so hard he throws up sometimes but has no hands or shot so he never scores. He got a 1 on 2 shorthanded, went wide, shut his eyes and the goalie missed it somehow. He was so happy. I actually jumped up in the air and yelled from back at my own blue line. bewbies fucked around with this message at 02:44 on Aug 13, 2012 |

Look Around You posted:My team had to forfeit our game last night because our goalie decided to flip the gently caress out and try to fight basically everyone on the other team at the end of the 2nd period. It was only 6-4 them and we were keeping up pretty well for having like 5 less people than they did. I also scored a goal and slid on both knees as a celebration Of course this was at the one game I wasnt able to make it to. I wish our captain would of switched for my friend who got stuck on the team we played in the first game of the season. Nice job on the goal

Bumping the blocker is pretty lame. I want a handshake, not to punch a piece of your equipment! There's this goalie at our rink who hugs everyone in the line after every game. He's awesome

EvilTwig posted:I'd been hanging my gear up to dry as soon as I got home with a combination of a liberal dose of Febreeze Sport to fight gear stank. It looks like the febreeze is being discontinued, is there a product like it thats cheap and will keep my basement and equipment from smelling like rear end? It's probably too late for you but with my latest pair of gloves, I keep a dryer sheet in each one and 6 months into it, they still don't stink. If the liner in your shinpads comes out, definitely take them out and wash them every once in a while too. The rest of it (shoulder pads, pants) don't smell so terrible, at least in my experience. Haven't found a good solution for skates yet myself.

If I could ever find that spare dehumidifier I have, I would have made a pcb equipment drying tree and enclosed it in plastic with the exhaust going directly to a dehumidifier. Enclosing the equipment in plastic with dehumidifier only works kinda ok. It dries it out but doesn't air out the stank. edit: you can also try buying bulk silicone beads. They also make 'rechargeable' ones that you can reuse over and over.

I love that I'm still at a low enough level that people apologize to me when I skate into them full speed into the boards in an attempt to get the puck. Why you apologizing to me?

I prefer to keep my gloves on and bump knuckles in the handshake line as my hands are absolutely loving gnarly after playing and I don't think other people deserve to have to deal with that after playing a hockey game. Plus, other people's hands are nasty too.

Gotta post another story from last night. Guy on our team has a very, very pregnant wife. We'd not heard from him yesterday, so we assumed he was going to miss the game due to childbirth. While we were getting dressed, someone said "he's going to come in and say 'it's ok guys, the contractions were 12 minutes apart, got time to play'". So, about a minute after that, the guy comes in and says "her contractions were 12 minutes apart, she told me to come play and we'll go to the hospital afterwards". When he said this we lost our poo poo. We played, he went straight to the hospital taking our broken guy along with him. Kid was born last night about 2 hours after he got there. Owns.

My goal celebration = Raise my hands above my head and try not to slam into the boards since I score mostly on rushes. Then fist bump my linemates. I think anything beyond that is a little excessive, except if it's a playoff game or tournament or something meaningful.

I'm mostly surprised when I make a goal - usually squinting to make sure it actually went in. I typically go for fist bumps, congratulate my line for putting together a good play, and smile a lot. Two games ago when I made the GWG on a breakaway? Fist-pump, dove and did a barrel-roll on the ice, then back up to say hi to the team. Not as obnoxious as possible but man was I happy with that goal. Playoffs start this week. Only the top four teams make playoffs and we are the fourth seed. I'm already a nervous wreck and am hoping for the very best.

I do the blocker punch as well. We're doing you guys a favor, trust us!  In my game last week I had to take my goal mask and gloves off to find a puck wedged into my pads. I stood up, started putting the mask on, and heard the ref drop the puck behind me. That's the first time I've had a ref apologize as I was screaming not so nice things in his face. Yeah, my center should have noticed and stayed out of the circle, but the ref was standing in my face when I took the mask off. At least my team won the draw.

One time in a friendly game with pals I was the sixth guy on the ice to replace our goalie. I grabbed the puck the other team had cleared and went to circle low in our zone to build up speed and start a rush. I blew a tire and went into our net with the puck. Welp.
