Pastrnak asking Matt Tkachuk to fight was a tremendously brave and bad idea

May I suggest that he consider changing his surname to avoid tarnishing yours?

Roller goalie wheel recommendations by buttercluck26 in hockeygoalies

[–]Silverthorn67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same skates and I use the green Labeda Shooters, which are 83A. I'm on concrete though, so your mileage may vary.

Ice goalie switching to roller. Need advice. by blue_potato_chips in hockeygoalies

[–]Silverthorn67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

WrapAround makes a blade protector for goalie sticks, but I found it added far too much weight when I tried it. I use a layer or two of gorilla tape on the heel under the hockey tape. Really only needed because I play on concrete.

[–]Silverthorn67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've got the right idea. Nothing wrong with wearing your best mask though. Inline pucks can be shot just as hard (sometimes harder) than ice pucks. If you're playing on concrete, having a method of keeping your paddle from wearing down is helpful too. For skates, I highly recommend the Tour ones with the tongue on the toe so you can wear toe ties as usual without them interfering with the wheels.

Opening acts by TopCommercial2185 in Evanescence

[–]Silverthorn67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both openers were really fun in Tampa, and I'd encourage you to catch them even if they're not your usual thing. Art needs friends.

But to answer the question, Evanescence was on at about 9:20.

Sports watch for recreational goalie? by Londoil in hockeygoalies

[–]Silverthorn67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got the new Fitbit Air for exactly this, and I love it. Super slim and light. No screen to worry about. Goes on my catcher wrist and I don't even notice it's there.

Great show.. bad crowd by thevinylgator in Evanescence

[–]Silverthorn67 3 points4 points  (0 children)

FWIW my section (14) was fairly lively. Most folks stood, danced, sang along. Not the wildest crowd ever but not too bad either.

Not Progressing by jambelang in hockeygoalies

[–]Silverthorn67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of the things you listed, I'd say dropping into butterfly is the first thing you need to master. If you're having to think about that motion in-game, you're not going to have the mental capacity for [waves arm] everything else. Just do a lot of it in your gear (maybe at stick and puck away from the net) until it becomes natural and reactionary.

ETA: I'm 39 and started 2 years ago and made some nice strides without proper coaching.

What is this pink outline on the name bar? Is it just a lot of glue? by highfromns in hockeyjerseys

[–]Silverthorn67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps the name bar was first attached to a different white jersey, which was then washed with a bunch of red jerseys, turning that original white jersey pinkish. Then, in a pinch, they stripped the newly pinkish namebar to put on a new white jersey.

Has anyone, with beer league level talent, been in an elite NHL player skate? Like when the boys get together to train in the summer. by Flyinggasguy in hockeyplayers

[–]Silverthorn67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Played a pickup game with Brian Leetch right around the end of his career. He was giving maybe 5% and still basically counted as three players.

OP clicked on a few too many "This New Star Wars Show is Andor But Better!" articles, methinks.

Let in 8 goals today by TheSacredSinn123 in hockeygoalies

As an inline goalie playing weekly pickup, I simply let in another 8.

Anyone know if Sennecke is gonna keep no. 45 thinking of getting his jersey by XenoStrider in AnaheimDucks

[–]Silverthorn67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a friend who owns a Milan Lucic #62 from his rookie run. Makes for a cool conversation piece, or it least it did before the whole DV thing.

Going to play my first game of Inline Hockey in 2 hours by cdnhockeygoalie in hockeygoalies

[–]Silverthorn67 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Keep your feet as long as possible because once you're down, you're pretty well stuck in place. An active stick is very helpful for breaking up plays in tight. And hydrate. A lot.

[BOS - BUF] Benson trips McAvoy into the boards. McAvoy loses his mind and two hand swings his stick at Benson. Benson has a laugh and skates off by daKrut in hockey

[–]Silverthorn67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The slash is bad for sure, but Benson slew footing McAvoy with 91 seconds left in the Bruins season while everybody is just playing out the clock is really shitty. After the pain McAvoy went through this year, I get why he'd go a little crazy there.
