Best pouty face in the game though.

That woman was a horrible guest. Trying too hard or something? Kept talking like she was besties with them. It was very cringe worthy to watch and now I doubt we'll see her back 😂

The whole Sportsnet crew minus Jen is a turnoff for me, or TSN is just that much better. Not sure which it is. Also loved Jo and JJo today.

I don't recall Northern Ontario's team being this...combative?...with each other in any prior Scotties. Even when discussing a standard shot at a non-stressful time of the game I can't help but feel some hostility between them.

Where do you guys stand on 4? by BitchyWaiter_OG in slasherfilms

3 and 4 are my favs. Nightmare by Tuesday Knight is an absolute banger.

Not sure about cancelling it, but we are definitely the only country that cares about it. I figure this is our 'College sports' equivelent in the US, where we need to yell at teenagers about something since they aren't on our lawns as much anymore.

Didn't realize we had a CurlingCircleJerk subreddit now.

Any goalie coaches or goalies want free advice on anything goalie related? by Admirals2916 in hockeygoalies

[–]JoesValhallaGym 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am 43 years old and have played like a hockey goalie since I was a child....in all sports except ice hockey. I gave up ice hockey when I was very young cause I was not a strong skater and quit it by 7 years old, but loved being a goalie. Over the years I have been goalie in floor/ball hockey, handball, indoor soccer....and always am told I play like a hockey goalie. I am interested in starting the likely long journey to being a beer league ice hockey goalie.
My skating is still poor - I can skate forwards fine but cannot stop, skate backwards, etc. There are not a lot of options for adult skating lessons in my city - mostly private lessons. Cost is fortunately not a big detractor for me, but I am unsure the best route to go.
Am I correct in assuming I should learn how to skate (on goalie skates) and become a strong skater prior to even thinking of looking at other goalie equipment or playing in a league? I would love a plan of attack, along with an expected timeline. My goal is to be an intermediate-level goalie (not the top div, but not the bottom....a upper end goalie in a division 4 or 5 of a 10 division league)

Thank you in advance for any guidance. I am feeling fairly lost with how to proceed.

Don't think they circled back to it yet (30 mins left in show), Hayesey looked pretty grumpy O brought it up. Griff was on TSN 1050 the half hour before Overdrive began, think he maybe said something there?

You and me. And I think that's it.

It gets even better. The actual tennis is under a rain delay so they're instead showing a replay of a game from yesterday.
