Pick up a pair of RBK 8k shins for 8o buck marked down from $170. Back to the hotel. No line.Impulse gear shopping. A true sign of gear whoring at it's best!

RadioGaGa 162 Report post Posted May 3, 2010 I've seen cars with lights on, or doors left slightly ajar. I'm always afraid that if I touch it, I'm going to set off an alarm, or be seen opening/closingthe door and get accused of something...so i just leave it, and hope (for their sake) everyone else does the same.

Chadd 916 Report post Posted May 4, 2010 Puck tricked out to the high slot and I hammered a slapper that hit the crossbar in the back and was back out before the goalie even flinched. For once the ref was in the right position and actually called it a goal despite the protests from the other team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatwabbit 93 Report post Posted May 4, 2010 played a good team game last night, breaking a 2 game losing streak (if you can call it a streak). Ended up 5-1 winners, and kudos to our 13 year old standin goalie while our actual goalie was off to Europe with his missus. The goalie stopped numerous shots, was unfazed at everything... he kept us in the game enough for us to settle down and play like a team. We killed about 5 penalties, with everyone just taking it easy and making hte passes to waste some time.Got a nice goal as well... we were passing really well during the shift, and me playing in the high slot. Anticipated that my team mate would intercept a pass, and he drove it up the right wing, with me heading towards the net... played a soft pass to me, slow enough to draw the goalie out for a poke check... pulled the puck away from him a split second before he got it, and the practice of pulling to the backhand and shot kicks in.. puck was in the net before the goalie could even extend for his poke check... thought it was a nice goal, well set up... but the bench just thought it was really sick how we did all the passing.

GuitarAwesome 1 Report post Posted May 5, 2010 I'm usually a playmaker, I rack up the assists, and chip in a few goals, but I don't have a great shot. Played my buddy's team last night (he's the tendy), and he's beaking me the whole game about how I can't cash a goal that isnt a tap in, or a redirect. I get a feed at the top of the circle on my offwing, brake an look up for a pass (which is what I normally do, we have a few guys who can CRANK it on our team), and one guy is open. So I faked the feed to him, and cranked it myself. Completely fooled the goalie, and got the middle of the crossbar and down. I got ALL of it, and there are few things better than seeing the goalie glove hand go up to stop your shot as fast as he can, and he's still not quick enough to catch it. BEAUTY feeling, especially for me, cause it never happens! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
