As a forward who plays a lot like Holmström, I humbly request you drat goalies stop whacking me with your stick when I'm outside the crease. Thank you.

My good friend who got me actually playing hockey is doing the goalie thing now for our beer league team. He's got all the gear, however the last couple of weeks his LCL on his right knee is acting up. Is that common with you folks?

I would leave you alone :) The worst I do is jabs in the back of the wheels to make people stumble. You can't score if you're flailing around trying to keep your balance. And there's no penalty unless they're completely incompetent on skates or take a dive :eng101:

Yeah, actually, most of the goalies in my beer league do this when I get near them. I actually don't setup shop much in front of the goalie unless one of our D men (or ladies) is going to take a shot, or if we *gasp* have a set play going on.

I'm a fan of the hard poke to the skates to cause a trip. This way my stick stays on the ice and you may end up blocking a shot for me.

*nods* Yeah, if the goalies did that in my local league, the ref would probably call them on it maybe 50% of the time. It happens a lot, actually. But I respect you guys for protecting your crease.

Jesus, if I had pictures of my technique I wouldn't post them because it would get completely torn apart. I rely way too much on reflexes/athleticism.

I'd say post them. We're all pretty cool in here. I can comment from a forward's perspective. I actually help out the goalies in my league with that during our practice sessions. Tell them what they're leaving open.

The blank one or with "Cobra Kai" on it? We'll probably need to order another batch in the next season or two. Otherwise, you can get blank ones on goaliemonkey.

The Cobra Kai one.

A goalie cut or normal? Like I said, soon enough we'll probably have to order another batch of jersey's, and I'll include yours in the order.

Normal, XXL if possible. (Yes, I'm a winger spying on the goalies).. Actually reading up to learn ways to beat you fucks. I'm on a dry spell right now.

Hey goalies... our beer league team jumped out to a nice 3-0 lead last night (thanks to 2 goals, 1 assist by yours truly), but the other team came back and eventually ended the game tied with us. (No shootout or OT in regular season games).

I was talking with our goalie after the game and he was convinced that his angles were all wrong because we were playing on a bit bigger sheet of ice than NHL size. The game-tying goal was sort of soft, he basically was unscreened and the shot wasn't terribly difficult to handle, he was just out of position.

So, is this the case? Do any of you go in between NHL and possibly International sized ice?
