Agreed.
Head shots aren't as much of an issue. My mask is tested pretty much every night. I get into the b'fly and square to the puck, and I guess my head is perfectly in line with the top shelf. The secret to survival is a good mask with fresh foam, a thick ass Sham sweatband, a dangler, and a lack of brain cells to damage 
As for running, that pisses me off. Problem is, I fed a dude some blocker a couple weeks ago, and was warned by the ref that using my blocker was assault, and I didn't want the law to get involved. I was like "WTF?!? A guy gets a game for fighting, and we get the law called on us". That was nuts. When I asked a senior goalie about it, he told me it was legit, and that anyone who uses their blocker is a thug. After recovering from the mild stroke I had hearing that shit, I asked him what church league he played in, because Langley ASHL might as well be the Prince George goon league. Srsly.
Awesome man!
You were getting stressed out there for a bit with your setup. Good to see you're gaining confidence in your protection again.
The Ninjas still need you for the game on Saturday the 23rd. That should be a great game with a few more of our key guys back in the lineup. I'm actually sad that I can't make it  |
Yeah I was. It was really the fear of another puck in the knee and throat.
I got my game back dude. Absolutely. Even got a shootout win the other day after standing on my head to claw back froma 4-2 deficit.
I'll totally play for u man.
FYI, Poke checks are much more "legal". and hard to call. Forwards get scared if they know you can poke check well (which I do.) cuz they don't want to fly face or knee first in the boards at full speed. Especially now with Stamoks being injured by the post the other day....
Blocker wise, you jam the beveled edged at the back of knee during a "bfly". It's more legal, and I know it hurts them like the dickens. cuz hey...if they're close enough in the crease for you to do it.... haha
