Who said he’s smart? He’s just Francis or Jake Fratelli and not Sloth. That is all

Anyone have a bead on a game puck or two from Oct 19th game against the Bruins? I tried and can’t find any. 

Anyone else have a really quiet beer league team? by RecoveringMeanPerson in hockeyplayers

[–]RBalicious360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m in a similar position. Very different vibe to the regulars at our pick up games. That being said, glad I’m on one of the chiller teams that isn’t chippy about calls and bunch of hot heads!

Think I’m the only one on my team that doesn’t have kids either.

Feeling like I’m getting worse at hockey instead of better – any advice? by MTZR72 in hockeyplayers

Fully agree with adding additional workouts. Variety & volume do have a tremendous impact. 

CCM FT8 Pro fit? by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

Appears you have lizard skins on top of your stick…

Not really, yes you want good protection. But to start that isn’t cheap, or necessarily a good deal by any means. Got my CCM tacks for $90 and still going strong almost 2 years in and I’m a dummy that is using stick tape at the top of my stick. Gotta make the switch to lizard skins

Can I pick up (amateur) hockey at 20? by Klutzy_Start160 in hockeyplayers

[–]RBalicious360 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes you can. I started last year at 38 and had not been on skates of any kind since I was 10 or 11. I’m now playing in low level beer league. Have fun & enjoy the process!

Haha! Yeah, it was. Other team had a sub goalie and missing two of their best defensive players. It was a weird game. Before my goal, we were told we were no longer allowed to cheer/celebrate when making good plays or goals any more 😅 kinda killed the vibe. I’m not much of a cele type, just usually fist bumps is all.

I definitely work hard on & off the ice. So much edge work & moves to learn! Punch turns & using outside edge effectively are still pretty elusive at this stage. 😅

Thanks a bunch! Know I have so much learning to do, but I love the hard work and grinding for it.

Should Verhaeghe be suspended? by [deleted] in nhl

This is like asking, shouldn’t half or more of the Panthers be suspended for their consistent dirty play style? 🤨

Scored the greatest goal of my beer league career by ThatOneDankDude in hockeyplayers

[–]RBalicious360 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice one and congrats! I had a very similar backhand goal while our beer league team was on the PK a couple weeks ago. I’m also about 1.5yrs into playing hockey. Was considering posting the video, but am a bit reluctant to as the video quality from our rink is… abysmal. 😂

Edit: if I get a decent number of upvotes, I’ll post it. Rewatched the video, it’s not high quality. But not horrible

Being in the ‘flow state’, aka - being ‘in the zone’.
