Doctor Butts posted:My first loving goal was called off by some bullshit loving call by the ref. We don't even know what the bullshit loving call was, because he mumbled the gently caress out of whatever it was. Best we can figure, he thought the net came off its lodging (IT loving DIDN'T) or the goalie was interfered with/someone was in the crease (more likely). i wonder why the ref didn't explain it to you

On my Saturday game, we were on a PK and cleared the puck.. ref blew it dead and called icing.  He handled it well though, entire bench booed him and he took a bow. His partner gave him a bunch of poo poo too.

In ironic cagenews, a teammate and I ran smack into each other last night. His helmet went right into my chin and he completely laid me out, helmet bounced off the ice. I've had a dull headache ever since and my jaw is killing me. gently caress.

Our 7-6 lead went to an 8-7 loss in the final 1:30 of our game on Wednesday. I didn't see the first call but we took a soft penalty late, then on the ensuing PP the net was knocked off about 6". Our entire bench was shouting at the ref to notice it and whistle play, he didn't, one of their players went over and tried to put the net back on during play (and failed) and after the puck went into the corner our goalie gave the post a push to show that the net was off. He got called for delay of game. 2 goals on the ensuing 5-on-3/5-on-4 and we lost.

Is there an advantage to not wearing J clips? I have them on and can't think of a reason why you wouldn't want them, unless the chin cup doesn't actually make it to your chin or something.

I bought a helmet for 20 dollars that was configured for a visor and pulled my cage from growing up on an old helmet and put it on there. For some reason I didn't take the j clips. I think the screws fell out from old helmet

The screws on one my J clips fell out back in Midgets and I didn't repair it. Took an elbow to the chin and the facemask offered no protection, since there was nothing keeping it from slamming my jaw into my skull. Got a concussion for my troubles. Keep your J clips on and in working order, 'K? (My helmet fit fine, chin cup against the chin, and I was wearing a mouthguard that was properly fitted and in good shape.) hey girl you up fucked around with this message at 01:20 on Jan 13, 2015 |

I usually use white tap and the first "loop" I keep centered very carefully. I then can use the tape as a guideline the rest of the way. Always heal to toe. Also on my beginner team I play goalie for had someone come on with skate guards on. poo poo was hilarious.

He quit after the fall session because he was tired of people on the bench yelling at him to change Turns out he didn't actually quit and his first game back he boarded some dude that then thought I did it and took a run at me and tried to fight me  He actually played ok other than that though.

Last night I made a much longer trek than normal to try out a new rink (The Rinks/Lakewood Ice) for an adult clinic on the suggestion of a friend because the group is closer to our skill level. Previously, I've only been able to do stick time by myself or pickup games against people who have played college or junior and skate circles around me to the point where I'll be lucky if I touch the puck at all. This was so much better because I was actually able to make some plays and work on things, it's just a shame that it can take up to an hour to get there depending on traffic. I feel a lot more motivated after last night because I now know that there's enough people out there for me to join a league soon, I think I'll just need to work a lot on conditioning so that I can actually play full games up to speed.

Yeah, this was tough for me at first, too. I would go to stick time and if a pick-up game broke out, I didn't touch the puck for the rest of the day. Not that I'm great now, but at least I'm in position more often and people aren't afraid to pass to me once in a while.

AceThomas and I played a "rookie" league there last season. Rookie was a loose term as there was probably only a handful of rookies spread among the four teams. I had fun, it was my first team experience with hockey, previous to that I had only played a 4 on 4 at a stick time. What city are you in? There are a lot of rinks in the Southbay, I would think you could find something closer. I had to drive about 30 minutes to Lakewood to find that rookie league, but I would say it was really between aluminum and copper anywhere else, so if you have a closer rink and you're just not too sure about it I say just go for it.

I was watching some of Pure Hockey's videos and the equipment manager of the Bruins said Chara uses a 145 flex. That's insane. I've held a 110 flex stick and I thought that was as stiff as metal.

Uh hi new so cal hockey friend. Let's go to a stick time! Where do you live? The Torrance rink (IceAngeles is the league) is 100% committed to being the first league new players join. They have an aluminum league that they have specifically for never-evers and move good players/teams up regularly to keep the league balanced. They have 4 (technically 5) divisions of bronze and lower whereas most rinks have 2. You won't feel like the only rookie in the league and I can't say enough about it for new players.

Finally scored on a breakaway for the first time tonight (while playing as a d-man). I had rotated up the wall with the opposing forward, who panicked and sent it back to his d-man. I blocked his dump-in, chipped it around him, and took off, getting a step on the forward who was scrambling back to cover for the d-man caught flat-footed at the blue line. I was alone from the opposing blue line on in. Usually, I brainfart and just shoot directly into the crest. This time I picked my spot and put it in over the goalie's blocker-side shoulder, thought he got a piece of it. Feels good man.

I also had a really clean breakaway last night. The last few games I've been hanging out just behind the D at about center ice. As soon as my d man turns the corner coming from behind the net, I cut middle and try to get the long bomb pass. Yesterday it worked flawlessly. I attempted to do this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qovCnsw1kCQ. A move that I've only tried in scrimmages for fun and never in a game. Ended up having a foot wide open net and hitting the post. Sad days. I probably would have had a super d-bag celebration as well.

Went to public skate the other day and actually did crossovers to the point where I felt like I was gaining speed from them rather than just doing the motion awkwardly. Still having trouble with stopping and it's hard to commit to a stop when I don't have gear on at public skate but it's nice to be making progress!

In the last two games I've been credited with a goal that I didn't touch the puck for but didn't get credit for the goal where I actually beat a defender and slid a shot in from a pretty bad angle - I didn't even see it go in, just heard the 'thunk' as it hit the metal, my best goal ever I think. Stats wise it's a wash but I still feel slighted. Stupid refs. And this week is a bye week so I can't even try to redeem myself by scoring a goal and getting credit for it at the same time. Grrr. That being said, thank you thread once again for convincing me to buy a composite stick. Holy crap what a difference over that lumber I was carrying before. I can pick the puck off the boards make plays! and shoot! Sort of. But better than before!

I mean to be fair I spent pretty much our entire last game farting around near our own blue line when the puck was in our zone, but that was because we only had 7 skaters and only 3 of those were natural forwards and I only got to sit down once during the game and our team strategy was literally to chip it into the neutral zone and let me "do something". Beer league hockey is the best hockey.

Playing center when you only have 7 or 8 guys is brutal. Can't really do anything other than chip it in when you're dead tired. xzzy posted:Hockey is a serious game, you have to treat it with respect. You don't want to make Don Cherry cry, do you?
