iceNsteel 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2011 Oh yeah? We had some douche bag tonight stay out literally 30 minutes and went really hard on the new guys. It didn't take long before a couple guys and I said something to him.Did he throw a punch? The time he took this girl that had been skating like 4 months into the boards I told him to take it the f*** down a notch and without even dropping the gloves he tried to hit me.

mac53 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2011 I hate that no one wants to play defense and i am left alone. I hate when there is no goalie and the players cherry pick. I dont see the point of trying to get a breakaway on an open net... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nexusrage21 1 Report post Posted March 9, 2011 Since my pick up games generally feature a 5 forward technique, I tend to play a hybrid forward/defenseman. I'll both lead the attack and be the first one back. (Even when one of the lazy "forwards" is already in the neutral zone when I'm caught deep.) I like to do a lot of skating for exercise, but I probably take some of the shortest shifts. If the rest of the guys on the rink are playing good positions I will just play positionally, but since that is rare, I just skate my butt off either way.

NextBobbyOrr 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2011 Douche bag of the universe award to that guy.Sorry, I didn't want to claim a whole page by quoting. Now, this is the most entertaining rant I've read in the while. My douche count was at 11 or 12. But on the other hand I might know his cousin. And I'm guessing you might not like to play with me as a partner as I'm a wingfensemen. Not a lazy one(Or at least I try), but I've been having a positional crisis after playing house for a season and not finding a legitimate reason to play real D.

xFortune 0 Report post Posted March 15, 2011 That's why I hate people taking slap shots 4-5 ft in front of me. I don't care how "good" you are at keeping the puck down, but it's drop in. Last time it happened, we only had 1 goalie show up and this show off was taking clappers all the time..on the empty net. The 4th time he did it..I just threw my stick at the puck as he winded up.Everyone cracked up and he got the point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Top Cheese 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2011 It happened like 5 days ago. His helmet/cage hit the side of my jaw. Needless to stay I stood this guy up, but still. This is the xray from the right(the only one I managed to sneak home with me) so you can't really see the damage. I have a filling in that tooth so it's blocking the crack which went straight through to the filling. You can see how close the crack is to the nerve. Plus my gum is wicked swollen now. So to avoid all pain and infection I've just decided to get it pulled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What peeves me is he does it solely for the purpose of creating the least amount of skating so he can stay out for the 15 minute iron man shift. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Top Cheese 0 Report post Posted March 16, 2011 No I didn't. I was wearing a half shield though, no cage.There was actually a case with a team from where I'm from and some kid getting arrested.

maxamillion 3 Report post Posted March 17, 2011 there's a kid that plays with us who thinks he's the hottest shit on ice. common story, i know, but he's epitome of a douche. On top of it, he sucks. flat out sucks. skates with his head down, without the puck, he skates like a moron, and he looks like a hunch back. his dad owns the rink we play at, and the last few weeks he's gotten into shit with some guys that have been playing there forever. He caught one guy in the face twice, then as the same guy was skating up the ice with the puck, this kid starts hacking him. after a little bit, the other guy lost it and crosschecked him in the back, then put a beauty clean hit on him and socked him in the head. His dad comes down and goes on a tirade, and everyone in the rink basically told the guy to eff off. the kid didn't skate within 10 feet of that guy the rest of the night. so you'd think he'd learn after that. well next time i'm out with them, he catches me in the head twice as i'm skating by. he's one of those jackasses who skates like they are chopping wood or rowing a boat. his stick is swinging wildly at their side, up and down and around in about a 4foot radius. he caught me on the way up and down, so I gave him a great shot in the side and he didn't get it. mind you, he hit me about 3 seconds after I slashed his stick for almost catching me. he looked at me, and I go "watch your fucking stick bud." then whamo. the kid's going to get wrecked soon because none of us can stand him anymore. not to mention at the last skate he was celebrating after every goal like it was game seven, jumping into the glass and shit.

maxamillion 3 Report post Posted March 17, 2011 It's not like it wasn't unwarranted. the kid was being a moron and got nailed for it.

When a guy is constantly running people and high-sticking them, then how else would you police that?Unfortunately you don't. Everyone hates playing with the tight-ass back from the NHL grind for summer practice, but taking the matter into your own hands serves no one well. It falls on the rink to police the ice, but I too know, this rarely, if ever, happens.If you want to push your luck, injure him at pick-up with a clean hit, and see how far the "hockey play" argument gets you in litigation.
