bewbies, do you plan on taking part in the Blazers Ice Center charity hockey extravaganza marathon Saturday? Seems like a cool idea, 15 or so hours of hockey for $100 donation.

Thufir posted:Ug, at my game on Wednesday I collided with a guy on my first shift and something hit me in the throat. I finished the game but my throat has felt hosed up since then so I decided that probably shouldn't play until I see a doc and know my airway isn't about to collapse or something. Can you break your throat?  Throat, testicles, neck injuries are best dealt with by getting checked out. I imagine there is not much they can do, but might be able to tell you to not play for a week or so. At least it was not a skate

toxicsunset posted:Just gonna say this: Forfeits are the lamest thing in the world. So pumped and ready to go, we get on the ice, the other team captain shows up and goes "So...we only have two guys.." Two guys  When this used to happen we would just have some of our team play for them and have a fun game for an hour so we would not just lose rink time. It was often with one regular goalie and some guy who took half an hour to dress as another goalie. On another note, I did an MSPaint of your avatar as one of the most memorable on here.

Hearing about stuff being put in people's butts is sadly a common conversation topic in our locker room Years ago my league director at the time made not so subtle butt plug jokes before each game "OK, everyone check to see if their butt plug is in place, don't want a stick going where it isn't supposed to (as in through our cages. We had to wrap the hell out of that butt)."

Henrik Zetterberg and bewbies, for your injuries I recommend localized aplication of Iron Maiden to your point of injury. This is best done by Dr Dre BEATS headphones wrapped firmly with an ACE bandage or in a pinch can be executed using those tiny portable speakers. Improvement should be shown withing 4-6 hours after treatment. And since you had surgeries bewbies, enjoy the medication along with the new treatment. Get well people.

ManicJason posted:I thought everywhere did shootouts now. Everywhere I've played has gone straight into a 3 or 5 round shootout at the end of a regulation tie. When I was about 14 years old our game/OT/SO was taking too long to resolve itself so the league director decided the following. Each teams goaltender stands in their crease and shoots a puck (with their goal stick) at the opposing empty net. First one in wins. As you could imagine, it took awhile for some scrawny 14 year olds in goalie pads that NEVER handle a puck to get anywhere near a respectable shot. Worse than the in between period AHL "shoot the puck in an empty net to win a recliner game." as you have probably guessed, this was roller. Shocking right? If only there was some Iron Maiden on instead of "Lowrider."

xzzy posted:Yeah, I'm already on the horn with them. I'm sure it'll get resolved satisfactorily, it just sucks to have a shipment arrive and it's a box of kindling. You do cool cool stuff with broken sticks though, if they allow you to keep it. I worked at UPS for a few years during college and it is amazing how terrible manufacturers packed firearms and sporting goods. Remington boxes were not even taped or stapled most of the time, just a rifle in a donut type box where the flaps tuck in. I recently shipped a rifle to Remington to get repaired and two weeks later they sent me an empty box. I was sure the rifle just fell out and nobody gave a poo poo, but nope, they said they sent me the box to send my rifle back to them... which they had had for nearly two weeks.  Anyway, sorry about your stick

Isn't that the thing to do up there? Smoke drugs and have a sushi picnic on a trail? And throw poo poo at buildings. This lack of hockey in Oklahoma is going to be the death of me. I back cars out of the two car garage, strap on some sweet classic Mission skate, grasp a sweet Nike aluminum shaft and grab the tennis balls. Iron Maiden on obviously. I really need to join a league but I would prefer to do roller at this time and well, I mentioned I am in Oklahoma so...

Sexy Randal posted:I'm using black tape with the red dot sight. I have a million goals.   Third Edition posted:Does anyone here smoke regularly during the season? I had my first game a few days ago and I was completely gassed by the first period. Part of that was that I was out of position and had to hustle to get back a few times. Will I get used to the pace in a couple of games or is it time to get rid of the coffin nails? No, but I played on a team of guys from Tinker Air Force Base who almost all smoked. I was on the team because they needed an extra player one season, they sucked, I was in a lower league because I was 16 but really good at roller hockey I tell ya, so the league director moved me up to play with the "big boys". Well, the ones that smoked were across the board dying at the end of the period. It was pathetic. That is where my problem solving skills and caving to peer pressure came in. I am asthmatic and always brought by inhaler to games, not because of pending asthma attacks but just because my lowered lung capacity had me breathing like a smoker. So it helped my not heave for an hour straight. Once the guys started seeing me use it on the bench they told me they use one during PT sometimes to help them out. So naturally, here I am letting them use every game. Yep, as a 16 year old I was supplying PEDs to members of the Air Force

Some dudes just need to drop bombs from the point to let the other team know how it is. On another hand, for the 12 years I have played, I have always been the number one or two scorer on the team... not once have did I tally a goal a slap shot. Not even in practice.

Recreational hockey and flight training. Not sure on the bike thing. They are also the best things on earth

Hockles posted:For people that do inline: Do not use WD40 on bearings. The times I did it it was a short term fix. Most bearings come with proper lube that will allow them to be smooth as butter. I would lube them up fairly often, more often than I should have probably. I occasionally rotated them also but that likely made little difference.

From an article on MLX skates: "you can’t put it on from the front like other skates, you have to slip into it sideways." I do not quite understand what this means. Those of you who have them, do you put them on any different than any other skate? "What got Lemieux interested in the skate was the shoe-like fit and the fact that where he once went through as many as 15 or more pairs of skates in a season, he could put on the MLX skates and not worry about them for the entire winter." How do you go through 15 pairs of skates in 82 games? That is a new pair every six games  I don't care how strong of a skater or how big a guy is, new skates every six games is ridiculous if they are actually worn out in any way by then. Maybe his sponsor didn't like seeing scuffs on his skates during games. http://www.thestar.com/sports/hockey/article/877855--cutting-edge-skate-gains-favour-with-nhlers

Both horns with hockey glove for size comparison. I can confirm, horns are pretty good for pissing off the competition. That one on the right just looks dangerous to ears.
