delpheye posted:Our painkiller addicted goalie gave up after the 2nd goal, a high point slapshot he had all the time in the world to see, and texted the captain on his way out of the locker room that he quit. he's done this once before and rescinded his retirement the next day but so far I haven't heard anything. While getting a sub goalie every game for the next 20 sucks I'd rather have someone who tries instead of yelling "screen" and "skate harder" for 45 minutes while giving up the most basic shots all night. I loving hate that poo poo. I hate hearing poo poo in between periods like, you gotta come down and cover the slot, or the wings have to cover the points or you gotta move your feet, etc, etc, all while he's letting in those no angle shots from below the bottom of the circles.

Top Hats Monthly posted:I'm aware of that, but anything that would be called bumping gets called as a check. That just isn't possible or true, sorry Officials don't call every infraction of every game and either your bumps are checks or you're being hyperbolic. That being said adult leagues are overwhelmingly no check. So get over it and learn how to play with contact that is deemed acceptable. Or git gud and play with better people.

Our previous goalie liked to sit on the ice with a thousand yard stare after goals against and wait until everyone was lined up at center ice to get back up and it was my most favorite thing ever

We had a late game on olympic ice last night. It was rough. There were 4 game misconducts, two 5 minute penalties, a slew of minors and 1 ten minute. At one point we were skating 4 on 4 with 1 d sub and 1 forward sub. gently caress all that. I thought I was going to puke. We lost 6-3.

My illustrious team Captain got thrown out of the championship game by two hand slinging his stick into the arena seats after a "questionable" tripping call. He managed to get back on the ice for the championship photo though. The guy is such a nice dude off the ice but he gets crazy competitive. I don't know why he gets so worked up, it's loving D league.

Brettbot posted:Anyone ever painted a stick before? I feel like it would flake all over your gloves without a clearcoat, yeah? I've done "repairs" with varying results but painted over the repair spots and with proper prep the paint stays and chips away as it normally would as if it were part of the original stick. I'll say that I've never done a top to bottom full stick paint job though. Any reason you'd want to paint your entire stick? I had a friend spray a little bit of black on the blade end of a stick that was all white because she said it hosed with her head to have it blend in with the color of the ice. That seemed to last just fine. I told her just to use black tape, problem solved but to each their own I guess.

It'll flake not just from friction but from the bending of the stick and the impacts. It probably won't look too good after a few games.

I just think most stick graphics are so ugly, and I have a bunch of sticks that are all different models, and I always liked the looks of All Black Hockey Sticks' all-black or all-white sticks. And also having a project might keep me from buying more sticks for a while.

That's cool, whatever floats your boat. We had a team in the league a few years ago that almost all the players had Black Max sticks. Don't really know what the deal was with them but they were all black except white lettering in the middle that said Black Max, or maybe Maxx with 2 X's. I can't remember. I do remember it was kinda funny seeing almost a whole team with matching sticks.

I felt like I played my best game in a long time last night and my line was really clicking and spending basically all of our time in the offensive zone, but their goalie was playing great. Unfortunately one of our other lines was the exact opposite and were just buried the whole time, ended up giving up 2 goals (1 shorthanded) on the same shift, and we lost 2-1  I guess we should probably mix the lines up some next time.

Its crude as hell and since i'm completely poo poo my tape doesn't get wrecked quite as fast as say, the guy above me. I can probably throw a picture of it up on imgur or something later. I am aware its stupid, its an old habit, started doing it when I was playing in the under 10's. dogstile fucked around with this message at 23:22 on Feb 24, 2016 |

Last night we played the team tied for second in the league above ours. We lost 8-6 but god drat we played better than I have ever seen. The stars aligned and I went blue line to a shot on net. I beat three guys doing it too. I beat a forward and split the D. Two inches higher and I would've scored. Guys on my team all know I've only been skating for 2 and a half years now and only playing for a year and a half. They were literally all standing on the bench cheering when I was going through the D. It was loving incredible and God drat I wish I scored.

I bought one of those Warrior Pro Carry bags that a lot of people seem to like and it's pretty good, except that the straps don't have that velcro handle that a lot of other bags do and it keeps slipping off my shoulder. Has anyone ever jury-rigged something like that, or had something like that added? I'm not even sure what the thingy is called or where I would get one. Talking about the black thing here in case it's not clear:

Had my first match against actual players last night. I think I got to the puck twice, lost my stick in between a guys legs and did a whole bunch of trying to keep up and failing. Holy poo poo people are so fast, I kept up better than I thought but it still wasn't fast enough. On the plus side a guy in full pads decided to use his weight to shove me away from the puck and I stood my ground enough for him to fall over. Probably the only part of the night that wasn't humbling, really fun though, I hope they come back at some point because I feel like I learned more about stick handling in that one night than I have in the past month.
