Yep.

If this thread gets past a page, I'll laugh a lot.

Come on now, there must be a smidgen of curiosity somewhere.

5/9/2005 4:22:45 AM

do you think he's wearing a cup?

5/9/2005 4:24:00 AM

All goalies wear a cup, some wear two. The important part is that the goalie's cup is WAY bigger than a pansy forward's cup.

5/9/2005 4:25:08 AM

is that because he's packing underneath?

5/9/2005 4:25:45 AM

it should be labled "big ass goalie cup not for pansy forward" then

5/9/2005 4:25:51 AM

It is.

5/9/2005 4:27:28 AM

goalies are hot

5/9/2005 4:30:54 AM

Yes. Yes we are. Except me.

P.S. I remember when Falcon got tossed from a start like five minutes in for spearing. HILARIOUS.

i wish he still played

5/9/2005 4:33:14 AM

I never understood why he didn't get more playing time, but I also never understood why they carried three goalies.

5/9/2005 4:34:36 AM

are we still going for 2 pages?

5/9/2005 4:34:50 AM

did/do you play for state?

i actually met josh at a hockey party
my roommate was dating a guy on the B team so i mainly know those guys
back when there was a B team

5/9/2005 4:36:28 AM

Nah, I'm a mediocre goalie at best, I just went to all the games back then (I couldn't afford Canes season tix and was hurting for some quality hockey).

Two pages would still make me laugh, but it has to be goalie-related to count.

you should teach people how to say goalies names
bc they are tricky
like lalime i used to pronounce "la-lime"

5/9/2005 4:41:11 AM

i heard their sticks are expensive as shit...why? I know other sticks are made out of some crazy aloy shit to help them bend but why does a goalie need more than a piece of wood?

5/9/2005 4:42:06 AM

It's a piece of wood, but it's a big piece of wood that's hand-carved and formed, and it's reinforced with fiberglass and kevlar. With that said, even a completely custom wood goalie stick from a big company (Koho, CCM, Sherwood) runs $65 near the top end of the scale, and as long as you don't abuse it, it'll last a long time, though it will lose its "snap" rather quickly. With that said, you can get a high-quality goal stick for $40 if you know what to buy.

5/9/2005 4:45:08 AM

damn...good shit


goalie fights in hockey are the best

5/9/2005 4:48:31 AM

Goalie fights are awesome. If you're looking for a crazy one, google Cloutier vs. Salo. After beating the crap out of the turtling Swede, Cloutier challenges the whole bench. There are certain goalies whose names I won't mention that have quick release buckles on the punching arm of their chest protector so they can free-up quickly if a fight breaks out.

5/9/2005 4:50:59 AM

hahaha, you learn something new every day.

you think all this goalie knowledge will help me pass an organic chemistry exam tomorrow?

5/9/2005 4:53:11 AM

Maybe. Does organic chemistry have any bearing on the stuff that makes my catch glove smell like old socks?

5/9/2005 4:53:48 AM

indeed...your catch glove probably is soaked with sweat, which is full of nitrogen wastes from you blood, and organic waste compounds (like urine) containing nitrogen usually have a strong odor.

5/9/2005 4:56:49 AM

So it's from the sweat itself, not some bacteria growing in the glove? I'm trying to get rid of the smell somehow, and I figured a bacterial-neutralization product like Nok-Out would work best. Am I wrong?

5/9/2005 4:58:40 AM

if its ice hockey

its a combo of sweat and mildew
which is why it smells like sweaty dog ass

5/9/2005 5:01:42 AM

probably. There might be bacteria growing in it as well, but im not sure. You wouldn't think bacteria could grow in a glove, but I learned in microbiology that some of those little fuckers can grow anywhere.

5/9/2005 5:02:22 AM

are you kidding me
those things are probably covered with bacteria

think about it
sweaty hockey guy takes off equipment that is wet from sweat + ice
then he proceeds to throw it in a large bag
and more than likely lets it sit either in his car (ick) or throws it somewhere outside or in his house
and doesnt pick it up again until next practice or next game

there is no telling what kind of nasty mess is growing in hockey equipment

5/9/2005 5:06:59 AM

my flight instructor played hockey

5/9/2005 5:07:00 AM

^^yeah but there wouldn't be as much as you might think. They are definately growing on there, but if you think about it, what are they going to grow on besides sweat? That is too salty to support most bacterial growth.


sorry i cant help this B get to 2 pages....peace out

[Edited on May 9, 2005 at 5:16 AM. Reason : bed]

5/9/2005 5:10:02 AM

I'm really neurotic (I am a goalie after all), so I air out everything the minute I get home. I have a whole elaborate system of placement for maximum airflow to each piece of equipment. The smell doesn't really bother me, but when everything's sitting out in the spare room some people complain.

5/9/2005 5:23:00 AM

bttt, can't sleep

5/10/2005 4:07:36 AM

Someone must have a question that popped into their head at some point while waiting for hockey highlights to go off of Sportscenter.

Or not. Either way, goalies have PADding.

5/10/2005 4:18:51 AM

what style goalie are you

5/10/2005 4:20:50 AM

Butterfly, though I stay up on tight angle plays and don't resort to paddle down, I also poke check a lot and try to break up passes in tight.

5/10/2005 4:22:07 AM

5/25/2005 1:39:52 AM

do you play catcher? i mean, since you're so good at catching pucks and all? lol

\/i think you missed the funny

[Edited on May 25, 2005 at 1:43 AM. Reason : .]

5/25/2005 1:40:46 AM

I'm actually not good at catching pucks...I haven't adjusted to my new glove so they all hit me in the meat of the thumb and ricochet into the corner.

5/25/2005 1:41:52 AM

SOMEONEANYONE

5/25/2005 1:59:52 AM

I think it is rediculous that they are discussing potential changes to goalie pads in the CBA "talks". How about we have a freakin' season first!!!

I have been curious how Canadians are handling this. At least here we still have tennis and Indy car racing. (Baseball is boring and Nascar isn't a sport)

Actual goalie related question: It has been my experience as a ref and as a player that goalies tend to be overly sensitive about getting bumped around. I know that getting chopped in the catcher by a stick hurts, but I am talking about after they freeze the puck they want to get up and fight everyone and then whine if they get tapped. Is that something they teach in goalie school?

5/25/2005 5:00:27 AM

they are sensitive to be tapped because if you were down in the butterfly and some assclown charges the net at fuckin 10 miles an hour with a stick jabbing at your crotch you dont want to be knocked at a weird angle and have to be bedridden for weeks. Also they get all of the credit when there is a win and get all the blame if there is a loss. You gotta be on the top of your game all the time, the way that the defense plays nowadays one goal games are common in the upper echlon

sidenote: is that khabibulon at the top i cant read the number. (spelling is off)

freaking out that there is no hockey to watch in Tennessee where can i watch please help.

5/25/2005 8:08:51 AM

^^ It depends wholly on the situation. Even a bit of slow contact can be bothersome, as a body hitting the mask at slow speed is actually more uncomfortable than a puck due to the mask's rigid design. Mostly, goalies only get pissed when an opposing player makes contact because he's being lazy. When covering, it's really easy to get skated on or have a player fall on you, so you get a little defensive. Personally, I don't sweat it too much, and I'd say that it has nothing to do with the pressure of the position. Then again, my blocker and stick are in the air if anyone comes close to running me, so there's that.

^ Yes, that's Khabibulin.

5/29/2005 3:02:02 AM

Come on, you laymen. Let me entertain you with my vast knowledge of something no one else likes.

5/29/2005 3:16:16 AM

do you use a compressor? if so, what kind

5/29/2005 3:16:48 AM

I have used a Ross Compressor on occasion, but compression ain't really my thing. If you want one, I'd suggest the CompROSSor from http://www.analogman.com.

Now, back to things you never knew about those wacky hockey players.
