I have no medical training, but I'm pretty sure if you have a fracture in your foot they can't do much with it anyway.

I played goalie the other night for the first time and holy poo poo is it 1000x harder than it looks. We were playing 3 on 3 on a studio (tiny) rink and I got torched so many times. It was fun though, except for the parts where I nearly killed myself because the goalie skates I borrowed had absolutely no edge. I guess goalies prefer to have mega dull skates in comparison to skaters. There were just so many times that I was facing a breakaway and was backing in and when I went to make the big push across to follow the shooter my skates would just slide out from under me and I'd fall straight down. I can see how pickup can be really frustrating as pickup means no defense. I wanted to face shots and I wanted to challenge at the top of the crease so whenever someone had the puck with a good shooting opportunity they just dished it off to the guy standing at the post who was completely uncovered. I don't have the mobility to contend with that crap.  Anyway, it was hard as hell and I really wonder how butterfly goalies do it. Every time someone was shooting I felt like there wasn't enough time to go down and cover the bottom part of the net so I just played standup for the most part.

When a guy is coming down one on one on me, I try to push him to the outside and give him an outside wrister from not a great angle, you guys better make that save!

Zinc. posted:I love it when goalies do this. 90% of the time (I play LW, RH shot) I let the goalie think he is pushing me outside too much, and once I pass the faceoff dot, I can usually hit the top right corner of the net because of the goalie overly trying to push me outside, leaving me a tiny opening far corner. Watch any highlight video of a righty LW (ovechkin and Kovalchuk do this allllll the time)and this shot will be on there several times.

Martytoof posted:Not that they weren't within their rights to challenge the roster, but they should have done it beforehand. Delaying games because all of a sudden you don't like who you're playing against is dumb. It pretty much hosed up the rest of the game but it was pretty funny watching the ref melt down and give out like five separate unsportsmanlike penalties and then telling their bench that yes, it was still 5 on 3 after each of our goals.

Ok, since my left hand is pretty hosed up right now and won't get better until I quit playing hockey for like a month so I think I'm going to try to take up goaltending in my down time. I don't think catching would be as bad as shooting/trying to do things one handed like I do as a skater. Where should I go to get decent, cheap equipment? Would a play-it-again sports be the place to go or would online be the better option?

Tim Thomas posted:depends what you want to do, really. what are you aiming to get out of playing the position? are you looking to stick with it and get better? are you more just doing it as a diversion? I've played twice already and while I don't think I was horrible, I certainly let up three or four mind bogglingly soft goals and that just made me want to get better.

Yeah, you guys are idiots if you're comparing your sharpenings to the first cut which usually runs around $15. My shop charges $50 for baking and $15 for the first sharpening so you didn't get ripped off thaaaat bad. The other thing to keep in mind when you buy from a shop is that you're paying sales tax that you probably wouldn't pay online. Also, Minister Robathan, they charge for baking if you bring in skates to get baked that you didn't buy there. It's to encourage you buying them in store.

As a shooter, I'd suggest coming out and challenging a little more. If you're back on the post, you're way too deep when a guy has the puck near the faceoff dots. At that point the shooter sees like 18" of purely unguarded net at the far post.

After our first game last night, I'd like to restate my love/hate for goalies. We outshot the other team 35-24 but it ended in a 1-1 tie in overtime. Both goals were also off of second rebounds (shot-save-rebound-save-rebound-goal). It was very frustrating but it made the game a lot more fun than the 8-7 shootouts we usually have. Keep up the good work.

Jesus, I just played my first elite goalie. Apparently he was a goalie at a top DIII school (I think he's only a couple years out) and he was unbelievable. We probably had close to 60 shots on him and we only got one past. I had a chance in the slot, just beyond the faceoff dots and I decided to just take a slapshot because there was not other way I was getting it past him. So I wound up and got all of it, shot it against the grain, about three feet off the ice and inside the post and he just blockered it out of play like it was nothing. Talk about depressing. It was great to try my best against such a good goalie and I just wish I could have got one past him.

Martytoof posted:Anyway, the new thing I'm frustrated about is that I'm still trying to convince some of my D to remember to play the pass versus the shot on a 2-on-1. It's really easy to play the situation when you know your D is going to take the pass OR the shot, but depending on who's on the ice there's no consistency. I really want them to start playing the pass so I can come out a lot more to challenge the shooter instead of having to cheat to play the pass, which usually results in me giving up the cheater goal

How do you butterfly goalies know when to go down? I mean is it purely feel and experience or are there cues from the shooter that you follow?

How the hell can you play a game with half the guys on skates and half the guys in shoes? That doesn't sound like it would work at all. Pretty much the only thing dek hockey is good for is stickhandling because it forces you to stickhandle with your feet moving. A lot of guys in roller/ice when they start out just start gliding every time they try and deke and that doesn't work that great.

I'm not a goalie, but as a shooter the only time I try to go five hole (I really suck at it) is when the goalie has some piss poor stick discipline and he isn't covering it or when he comes out and cuts down the angle and my only prayer is to sneak one through him. If your stick is in a good position when you're standing it becomes much tougher to score five hole, also get in your stance and ask a teammate what they see that's open, you could just be standing with your pads really far apart making the five hole look somewhat large. Then again, I'm not a goalie so my advice probably isn't that helpful.

What would you say causes a "heavy" shot? The amount of spin on the puck?

I don't know, spin probably does have something to do with it. Have someone toss a soccer ball to you slowly and head it. Now have the same person throw it to you at the same speed but with a lot of backspin, you feel it a lot more. The ball isn't moving any faster but the angular velocity contributes to how you feel it as well.
