Moment of Stupidity

Haha sorry to laugh at your expense. Hope you don't take it to seriously. And your lucky it wasn't a nice new 200 dollar stick.

nothing real big for me, except once in a house league championship as a squirt i forgot my cup, took a slapshot from the hardest shooter in the league right in the nut. luckily no damage done, but i hopped up and down and screamed on the ice...ouch.

To newer players in house league, or people we don't like, me and my teamates put clear tape on their blades before games and practices haha, never gets old. :P

How old are you? 10?

[Fire0nIce228 1]

Dude, I'm 20 and I still get a kick out of that. You must be way out of our league Kovalchuk!

Oh yeah, hows the junior sticks working out for you?

[Chadd 916]

That happened once at a practice that I was running, the kid ripped his groin so badly that he missed the rest of the season. That wasn't very funny to me.

[Fire0nIce228 1]

And one time I burnt my mouth eating a piece of pizza with really hot cheese. Doesn't mean I'm not going to eat anymore.

Ahh burning your mouth eating pizza is a pretty bad comparison to ripping your groin and missing a whole season. Yu are really making yourself look class Fireonice.

Same thing happened to a guy on my team. The kid fell backwards and slammed his head on the ice, which led to a concussion. Thats why I think its stupid.

[Ngo_35 1]

I think its only funny when the person doesnt get hurt and its all just for shits and giggles. But I see kovalcuk71's point, where stupid shit like that has the potential to put someone away from the game.

So there's something about me and these Saturday morning clinics.

I normally go light and do a Tackla girdle + roller hockey pant combo instead of pants, socks, etc. Well, today, I forget the pants so I had a choice of going girdle + shins or regular shorts + shins so I went with the latter b/c I figured it's just a bunch of non contact drills anyway.

What do you guys do if you forget pants and driving back and getting them is not an option?

i did this last week to a kid on my team who was bein a hot shot .

[Langkow22 5]

Sorry to dig up an old thread!

Puck gets dumped into there zone so I chase it and the D-man gets there first so I poke check him and he pulls my stick right out my hand (on purpose) ref dosnt see it and he starts carrying the puck out of his zone so I skate after him and nail him shoulder to shoulder against the board inside his own blue line(my stick still on the floor now a mile away) anyways I hit him so hard his stick fell outta his hand so in my wisdom I pick up HIS stick and continued playing. He wasnt happy and neither was the ref gotta unsportsmanlike and a good ear bashing from there fans while i was in the good old sin bin

LOL good times

[Ngo_35 1]

HAHAH Langkow, it wasnt funny until you put "LOL good times" haha. That actually made me laugh.

Two months ago my room mate and I were going to play late night shinny with friends. We were just sitting around killing time until we had to leave, 11:00pm rolls around and we're all pumped and ready to go. We load his car, backpacks (minimal gear) and sticks. We're about to pull away and I look in the backseat and say, "It'd probably be a good idea if we brought our skates..."

Good thing we hadn't driven away yet, the arena is like 20 minutes away.

[sabre09923 0]

You think 20 minutes is bad? On the third day of a particularly important tryout, I left all my gear at home, and the rink was 50 minutes away. I got there and I looked in the trunk... And I was pretty surprised, and screamed "Oh, Shit!" at the top of my lungs. Luckily, they let me try out during the summer and I ended up making the team.

Another stupid moment is when, a couple of years ago, my mom was cooking something and had to leave for work. She told me that it was that night's dinner and to turn the stove down to low right before I was picked up to go to practice. Needless to say, I forgot, and had to go without food for a night.

my dad called me the other night from work and told me to set to the oven to 450 so it was ready when he got home. i didn't know at the time but the brownies my sister had baked the day before were in a plastic container in the oven to keep my dog from jumping on the counter and eating them. so anyway, my dad gets home and goes to put a frozen pizza in the oven and the plastic has melted all over the bottom of the oven, we had to scrape it up with a putty knife. and worse, i ruined a perfectly good batch of brownies.

I once unziped my bag, started to gear up only to realize my skates weren't in the bag. I threw out a bunch of f-bombs and blamed my wife and kids, everyone but myself. Shortly after the puck had dropped, the light bulb in my head lit and I went to the pro shop and picked up my nicely sharpened skates that I had dropped off after the last skate.

I got some new laces a couple weeks ago, cloth Sonic Tips. For some odd reason, they are REALLY stretchy. So after about 20 minutes, I have to tighten up my right skate. Then my left. Then the right is so tight I'm getting lace bite. By the time I get the skates where I like them, my right foot's almost fallen asleep.

Step out on the ice, take a pass, come in on the defender, lose and edge and slide down the zone. Get up looking like an idiot, but nobody's near me so I'm wide open for a one-timer. Perfect pass right to my tape, I wind up, and bite it right as I transfer weight to that skate. Boys on the bench got a kick out of that one.

And of course, next shift I grab the puck for a breakaway, lose the edge again, and slide down the zone.

Moral of the story: waxed laces are a lifesaver.

I have used plenty of non-waxed laces that are really good. You just have to spend the money and get a good pair that don't stretch.

Yeah the standard Bauer cloth laces worked great but were too long. I picked up the Graf waxed and shorter Bauers.

So I usually take out the insoles of my skates for drying...and one day I forget to put them back in. It actually turned out ok. It was only a stick&puck, and my feet didn't feel that bad, really. Only bad thing is, my socks got ruined.

A couple weeks ago I played a game without my left insole in bare feet.

[kovalchuk71 212]

Try the paper in the bathroom that you use to dry your hands off with in the bottom next time. In layers it works wonders. I did the same thing last week. Forgot the left insole. Worked very well. :)

My stupidest moment was just before one of my games, I spent about two minutes searching through my bag looking for my helmet, only to suddenly realize that I was already wearing it. I guess I had put it on earlier than I usually do and I just forgot about it :P .
