I'm debating helmet and glove colors too.

Also, that EZ goal net with backstop is down to $89 on Amazon. Freaking sold.

Holy poo poo that's an insane deal. I canceled my HG order for $135 and bought it on Amazon for $114 two days ago.

Here thread, have a thunderdome game:

172 minutes on 38 penalties. What's funny is that one ref called 36 of those penalties, and the other called 2.

I got hooked so hard it broke skin on my forearm. No call, of course.

You need to start a YouTube series or call vice and have them do a story on your league. I've never seen such consistently terrible games in any league I've ever been a part of.

How do we feel about white helmets? Guy I play with has a Krown 360 that is too big for his normal head but appropriate for my big fat head. I'm worried it'll clash with all of my black gear and I won't look cooooooool.

gently caress it, use mismatching gear. Hell I even put pink tape on the sides of my helmet because I have exactly the same helmet as another guy, so I worry about us swapping helmets and never knowing :tinfoil:

We were only down by 1 when we pulled the goalie?

No, they got an empty-netter. The fight happened with 6 seconds left after they were up by 2.

Broke my stick tonight. Wasn't doing a cool slapshot either, just got caught in the gap between the door and wall of the penalty box.

Pretty angry, haven't had that one long. I realised it was caught and let go of it and another guy skated full speed into it, went flying over/through it. I mean in hindsight its kind of funny but this was my favourite one. Ah well, time to buy another

E: I mean now that i've calmed down it was the best session i've ever had. I scored, got a couple of assists and blocked 4/5 shots. :unsmith:

True story, the one time I went to Roseville involved not one but two threats from people who claimed to know outlaw bikers. (I was there on a motorcycle ride, so maybe vaguely offering to get your rear end kicked in some contextually-related fashion is just how the locals say hi.)

Yeah coming back to it after a nights sleep it just means i'll be able to change up my flex a little (I was using 100, might go to 90, not sure yet).

I keep watching the guy go flying through it in my head and chuckling. I'm going to remember this for a long time.

What was the curve? For the most part I've never been without my preferrence, though I don't have any stick brand loyalty. Whoever makes a reasonabally cheap RH P88 Lie6 gets my dollars. For reference, that's the Modano/Zetterberg curve.

IIRC it was the Tkachuk curve. I've gotten used to other curves since then, but it might be fun to try it out again.

It can depend some on the specific surface, but generally speaking, you need them.

Hit the net!

They really cancelled? They didn't have any spare panes? Even my shithole rink has spare glass around. At least a shot broke it. We had like a 45 minute delay because some try hard rear end in a top hat didn't score on a shot so he tomahawked the corner glass and busted it. He sheepishly went and sat on the bench with his head down while everybody made fun of him. We were saying that he should also have a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct but the refs said he felt bad enough as it was and didn't need a penalty on top of it, WTF?

We don't have spare panes of plexiglass but they'll put a temporary piece of wood up so play can continue.
