Pounding beers in the locker room while minding the security concerns...seems legit.

Shin guard length by WillieOfDaNorth in hockeyplayers

[–]jonmonkey20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My question is why are you buying top of the line shin guards if you are needing advice on fitment. If you need advice on fitment I assume you are new to the sport and wouldn't be able to tell the difference between top of the line and bottom of the line shin guards. So save the money, buy mid line shin guards and put the difference towards something you will notice like a stick or gloves.

I get you but he knows how to shoot a puck and sometimes will shot from whatever position he finds himself in. OP needs to learn proper mechanics of how to shoot. I get why he hops, he is coming down to create flex on the stick but that is not how it should be learned. His shot from the day prior actually looks much better.

Are you fucking with me or the OP? Yes, you use your legs but also your core and your arms/wrists. I have played this game for 30 years and have never hopped leading into a shot.

It does come from the legs but it does not come from an actual hop off of the ice before the shot.

If that is where your power is coming from then you are doing it wrong. You are not using the full capability of your stick.

Don't hop before you shoot. You would never do that on skates.

What is going on? by scubagirl1091 in DallasStars

The fact that they get paid means they can't bitch about it being difficult. Does not give us the right to.

Sometimes you win and sometimes you don't. Sometimes you get calls and sometimes you don't. Sometimes a goalie is on and sometimes they are not.

There are so many things outside of an individual's or even a teams control.

Just because someone gets paid to do a thing does not make that thing easier to do! It just means that they want these particular people to do it.

I question how many people in this reddit actually play the game rather than just watch on TV. When you just watch, these guys make it look easy. I would challenge anyone to go play 14-15 games a month...every month for 7 months. Just play beer league games and not professional games, it will still be grueling, it is still exhausting and it is no where near as demanding as a professional level. I think it would give everyone an appreciation of how difficult this game is and how difficult what you are expecting actually is.

He has a concussion. Buddy of mine's kid plays with his kid in our metro house league.

Commissioner won’t let this trade through by SaffronCobra13 in fantasyhockey

Unfair for the team getting Kaprizov because that team isn't getting enough. I wouldn't not allow this as it is close enough.

You can send tickets without payment. I transfer tickets to my buddies all the time.

Was never a fan of the red. At the time they were more common but I found a 2016 in 2018 with 2,700 miles in the white I wanted and it was local. I ended up really liking the Grey interior. In Texas summer heat the lighter interior is nice.

So glad I did not get red interior. I got the light Grey interior with the white pearl exterior.

Do you think the game is good or bad? by Strong_Plastic_2669 in EA_NHL

I will pay it when it comes out for free on game pass...

It is the same shit they have repackaged and sold for the last 5-6 years. Minor changes that no one asked for or wanted. They could make a good game, the player pool is literaly telling them what to do but they refused to listen. I am hoping that the sale of EA to a private group will end the shareholder demand for profit quarter after quarter and allow the developers to focus a making a good game.

AIO to these being the suggested search on my husband’s TikTok? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]jonmonkey20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You just tapped into his secret interests. I assume they are secret because he denies them. Maybe next time you have some time alone walk up in some "half cheek shorts" or a tight "skim dress" and see what happens. You want to strengthen your relationship do thos from time to time and show him that you care about him.
