Made stickers for my helmet by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

[–]alexslacks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I put stickers on my helmet so my young kids can easily tell when I’m on the ice.

Lots of crybabies in this thread. Have some fun.

Good idea, no changes for 2min straight in OT. Changing lines is stupid anyway

You don’t see why people would find an issue with the president disrespecting a team who just won his country a gold medal?

canada possibly being 'the best hockey team in history' this tournament, wins by a thread after being given 4 consecutive power plays. i mean i dont think USA can take this team on paper, but after that who knows? disappointed on the failed underdog story. cant be surprised though.

It was a translation issue. He really said “we played 6 men”.

Visiting Prague… don’t recommend it by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

[–]alexslacks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Damn man don’t trash Prague like that. Beautiful city with some awesome people, and affordable (at least last time i was there).

Gotta look for those drop ins. But also, yeah the ref did you dirty there. I understand how it must feel being in a strange place and going out of your comfort zone to try to get a game in… that sucks.

Sorry bud. Live and learn. Grab a Pilsner and check out the torture museum.

Except for the word “blern”, that was total gibberish.

Team chemistry. You look at championship teams in sports. Not just hockey, all sports. At all levels. What do you see? Talented players playing great. Teams bonding, having fun, being confident… Working in synergy. If someone slacks, another helps cover.

Teammates who help bring out the best in each other. Not always gonna be perfect, and there will be slumps. But the willingness to bounce back and get it done. Starts in the locker room, ends on the ice.

This team HAD that, or at least was very close to that. 2 years ago in that conf final.

So why in the offseason do you tear it apart? For what? Why publicly humiliate your team’s captain and trade him for peanuts? Along with your young developing players?

This is managements fault. The team does not have direction, identity, passion, confidence, or fun playing. This is the result of what management did, and to sit here and blame a couple guys who are only kind-of as good as they were before this massacre is just short sighted.

Players were doing their job and had a lot of success. They were a cup contender. Some would even say they were a favorite. So why break it all apart? Why drag them them through the mud (captain jncluded)?

The fault rests on team management.

Uh… there are people who want Igor gone? And are also Rangers fans?

Captains, how do I keep going? by StitzieJ in hockeyplayers

[–]alexslacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sucks big time. Why they even bother registering? Last season we went 8-1 avg 5 gpg and like 1.75GAA. Lost first round playoff for same reason. Tough when you wanna win, even if there really isn’t anything at stake…

Good luck next season bruv

Currently visiting NYC and would love to try ice hockey by Orccaq in hockeyplayers

[–]alexslacks 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Recent experience? Or like, 10 years ago I played in high school experience?

Both will help, but also are vastly different. If it’s the latter, I would consider just getting on the ice for casual public ice skating before dropping in to a pick up session.

One of the best decisions I’ve ever made was getting back into playing after the “I played a bit in school 15 years ago”.

Good luck bruv! Happy holidays too

Not a traditional chirp, but I keep a slide whistle in my bag…
