That's just asking for chirping.

Disclaimer: I've played goalie for all of about 10 hours, just kind of throwing ideas at you here. First off: Temper your expectations. you started playing a difficult position at an older age than most people start. You've put in a lot of time and money on being a goalie. But this stuff takes a while. The best place to start is to identify the problem, which should be fairly easy to do considering you've got dozens of games on YouTube (and probably more that aren't on the Internet) where you can see what you do well and what you need to improve upon. If it's flexibility, that stuff is easy to improve / fix with Googling some excercises, maybe some cheap equipment like a resistance band and excercise balls for your glove hand. The two are about $20. Strength might be a little more difficult, especially if you don't have the space or equipment. Some stuff is easy to do at home: squats for legs, twists / planks for core, etc. If it's just that you need to be a better goalie, not a stronger one, there's literally thousands of videos online, and a whole community here at MSH that can help in place of expensive goalie coaching. Write some notes down from those online videos, then try to get into a pickup session and work on them. Roberto Luongo did this the first time around with the Panthers, even with no shooters. He'd just go into the rink and imagine scenarios around him, and then react to them. (Source: Jamie McLennan's book.) I took a break in writing this to watch some of the GoPro videos. Again, I have virtually no goalie experience, but you seem uncomfortable / slow to move in the butterfly, like you're shuffling on your knees as opposed to sliding, so leg and core strength seems like it would really come in handy there. And use your teammates. Tell them to try to cover the cross crease passes, because it requires you to move the farthest laterally. Make sure somebody is home for the rebounds. Little things like that. You're going to have things that take more time to be good at, or that you maybe just aren't good at yet. Again: this stuff takes time. It takes time to get good, or at least competent, at everything, but if you decide to stop after putting in a little bit of time because the results aren't there, then you'd probably have quit a lot of things by now. If nothing else, maybe take some time away from goaltending, or hockey in general. You said you're saving to buy a house. I'm not an adult, but that sounds incredibly stressful.

I don't know why you took Phil "The Thrill" Kessel's number in the first place... But seriously, any number is fine. Just go with what you like. I try to pick a new one every so often, just for fun.

What's wrong with full wrong? I played full wrong when I was in goal (which I think would be fun to try again).

Played an exchange team from Sweden today. Lost 12-1 but had a good time.

Wow.

Also left a note in the bathroom saying she would try to attempt killing everyone during a specific lunch (our school has multiple lunch 'waves'). I wasn't there, not sure of all details. Does that not warrant a lockdown to you? (not being condescending)

School was in lockdown today - somebody tried to pull a knife during lunch.

Spent all day in NYC for a competition, had a good time.

Went from an iPhone 4S to an iPhone 7 today. What a difference.

800K gets you 75% of that at the most here unless you want a real basic house. Many 7 and 8 figure places. Even one house built into a hill overlooking the lake.

No, please, no. That entire channel is just awful.

I don't know what I'd do if it were one of my teammates. My condolences.

Context? Too young to understand lol.

That's what I figured. It's really frustrating, considering kids can leave e-cigarette cartridges in the bathrooms and not get caught.

Completely agree. I hope so too, but it's everywhere here. Locker rooms (guys were vaping right before hockey tryouts), buses, bathrooms, just all over the place. I wish the school would do more, however they may not be able to.

I always imagine it as gender segregated. And yes, yes it is.

It's electronic stuff. But again, I don't really know.

It seems like similar reasoning to why high school kids smoke in the bathrooms. They're good enough to never get caught, and it's an agreed upon place to get high. It's also why all the bathrooms at my school are unusable, you can't go in them without someone offering you drugs or smoking. The buses are worse. I should also mention that I do not partake at all, nor have I ever. "or dudes"? I'm not trying to be homophobic, but unless the two or more dudes in question are well acquainted, seems really uncomfortable.

That is just really disgusting.

I had to literally waddle all day. Remember to stretch everybody.

Had a real father - son moment at 7am: watching Dave Chappelle's Killing them Softly with the volume up way too high. The limo / ghetto bit was fantastic.

Ok. c

May have been scrambling for the "delete account" button.

Oh.
