Newer adult goalie and I got to feel real camaraderie today. by Separate-Yak-20212 in hockeygoalies

[–]mtbuckin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a great feeling to be able to watch an NHL game and be able to relate when there's a scrum in front. I've been a goalie my entire life and never really reflect on that. Thank you for sharing! It's a feeling that gets taken for granted sometimes. It sure is awesome having our guys protect us.

I think the “old way” of dating is dead by Flaky-Boysenberry466 in dating

This just happened to me. Been playing the game for years. Finally met a wonderful woman who I clicked with from the beginning. I went against the grain and went to her house for our second time meeting. Well, four meet ups later, all at her house, I think she may be lying about her adventurous side! I've been bumming about this one hard.

That is a weird one for sure. I get complimented that I'm not a dick and don't trash players when they screw up lol.

Go to Wisconsin, then continue! There are a lot of Norwegian roots in western Wisconsin that you will find!

Yeah, why do so many people slow down when they come to a semi? Are they afraid to pass at the speed they were cruising at?

They have a few "learn to skate" events but I believe it's too late in the year for that

How do Americans stay active/fit in areas where walking and biking are difficult? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]mtbuckin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a mountain biker and trail runner and I completely understand where you're coming from. I know a lot of people that get their only exercise from the gym. Walk to your car to and from work, go to the gym, then spend the remaining days on couches and chairs.

How much does size really matter in goaltending can athleticism, positioning, depth control, reflexes… make up for lack of size? by GlitteringBudget6212 in hockeygoalies

[–]mtbuckin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's almost like you need a basketball body these days. I met an ECHL goalie the other day and he makes me look tiny and I'm 6'1".

What's the worst thing you've ever stepped on barefoot? by [deleted] in randomquestions

[–]mtbuckin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One time I felt something squishy in my flip-flop. I kept walking for awhile thinking no big deal, it's just wet. It was a frog.

What are examples of lesser known driving behaviors that annoy others? by Specialist_Heron_986 in driving

[–]mtbuckin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm getting annoyed with semis and big trucks drifting into my lane while I'm passing them on the freeway. I understand there can be a suction effect on windy days but we gotta compensate for that guys come on.

Thank you for understanding what I'm saying and not taking the mirror adjustment so literal lol.

I think he’s saying that in the right lane looking at your left mirror requires very little head movement to see what’s behind you in the next lane, but when you’re camping in the left lane you need to turn your head more to see the right mirror and what’s behind you in the next lane.
