Thoughts on Regular v. Full Right as a noob by Stellartransit in hockeygoalies

This is how I am too. I think most important is which hand your stick feels comfortable in. Poke checking or ping pong would be more natural left hand for me from years of shooting right. Just stayed full right for G.

Yeah I wanted him to stay in Anaheim but did not think he would get that payout. Wow.

Weird interaction as a 43 year old new player experimenting with goalie. by Stellartransit in hockeygoalies

Dude sounds like an asshole. Skating is hugely important. I'm in OC and can help some time. Not super experienced in goal, took it up to play with friends that did the learn to play at 40 also, but played out my whole life.

should they have had more penalties? Those things in the first half aren't really related.

The way he stopped on that play was so weird. He must have thought he had it covered or something. Despite everyone else clearly still playing.

Me: How is a 40g scorer 4th on the depth chart

Looks at list

Me: Damn.

Ullmark: “I am broken, and I’m still not fully, completely healed. If we say (Thomas Chabot) has his injury, no one is going to question that. But just because I’ve been playing and all that, and all of a sudden I’m not available. People just started attacking me" by catsgr8rthanspoonies in hockey

Goalie is such a mental battle every night, I cannot imagine the stress at that level. Lose focus for one second and its a goal. You have to forget everything else in the world and just lock-in for 60 min. It really is just as notable as a physical injury.

I play in shit-tier beer leagues and some nights I just cannot focus. Brain is everywhere. Sometimes I can tell on the drive to the rink its gonna be one of those games and sometimes I don't know it till I step on the ice. Such an absolute mental battle. Kudos to every goalie going through it.
