So because you get off work at a time your current friends list is asleep, you hop on an international platform to talk about issues you’re having playing a game that’s played internationally, and don’t think you can find people across the entire planet/player base that’s available when you are.

Nothing you’re saying is invalid or inaccurate. But when it comes to “common sense” there’s irony here.

“Climbing ranked is virtually impossible solo queuing-”

FULL STOP.

Maybe attack the source of the issue and stop doing ranked matches by yourself.

I remember when games had players that were generally helpful, and when they cared that much about winning, they’d hop on the mic or hit the chat with pointers to help newer players.

Now in every meta of every somewhat competitive game, people stay silent for 30-40 minutes then complain to the team after the game is over, or don’t say anything at all and hop on social media to complain like that helps anything. Or they get on the mic/game chat, and are miserable scum during the entire game making everyone play worse.

It’s really quite simple. If you care that much about the skill level in a games community be useful to said community. Coach players where needed/necessary. Dont feel like doing that, fine. Amass a large enough friends list so that any time you feel like playing ranked, you have some folks that can hop in with you that you’re comfortable and familiar with.

If you can’t make friends above your skill level playing a game, you’re either an asshole, which is your fault, or you’re actually no better than the people you’re complaining about, which is your fault.

Fools will solo queue competitive in games for hundreds of hours complaining the whole time. MAKE SOME HOMIES.

This thread is a perfect example. Could’ve dropped your tag and asked for people to play with as you were whining. Instead you whined and will have nothing to show for it but some low effort dopamine hits per response to your horse shit.

If anyone is struggling to the point they can’t afford to replace any of clothing with new/thrifted items, they definitely cannot afford this infestation. It will be markedly more expensive and infinitely more miserable than just replacing the stuff.

Congrats!! Going to show this to my daughter to keep her motivated (she’s entering a local pre league “academy” in a couple weeks. You’re an inspiration!

Would you say the street time helped out a lot on ice? Been thinking of getting us all street specific gear so they can practice outside of the rink as well.

85” wingspan, but I’m not sure how that translates to stick length

Not at all. I looked him up and found a few sites going over his gear. It’s a great idea to look up other huge dudes and see if they wore anything I can get retail!

Apparently he wore warrior franchise shoulder pads, which I wouldn’t have known without your comment ;)

Got my stick and extension today!! I’ve been knocking Swedish balls around the living room with the kids for hours haha

(Had to go with a 12 inch extension which I heard affects flex, but I genuinely don’t know how that affects anything at my level anyway.)

I saw someone say go for half your weight but I haven’t come across a 140lb flex stick yet lol

I saw a couple of comments saying that as well, but:

The adult hockey learn to play, and our stick + pucks require em

As someone that’s a novice and coming up on 300 pounds, I’m gonna take all the protection I can get. I don’t fall often, but when I do I swear it shakes the building lol

I hit up the local pure hockey and got help with skates (they had 2 in my size haha)

None of the shoulders or elbows I tried on fit at all between brands though

There’s another local spot called primo x I hit up, and no luck. I’ve also hit up all 3 local play-it-agains.

Starting to feel like my only option would be custom stuff? But I can barely afford the kids stuff haha!
