overtime losing streak

4/11/2008 2:20:22 PM

Here is one.

How important is ankle strength in skating? Also do you work out these muscles and if so what exercises do you do.

I say this cause I have no ankle strength in my right ankle and can't stop that way anymore.

4/11/2008 2:42:05 PM

Ankle strength is probably the most important part of skating. I don't work out those muscles off-ice because I skate 4-5 times per week, but I'm sure there are exercises you could do. With that said, skating an hour twice a week will have them back up to snuff in under a month.

4/11/2008 2:44:38 PM

you would think so, but after skating about 2-3 times a week for about 3-4 months, still no strength.

^^^what'd you do to your ankle? i broke mine playing like early part of last june, did rehab and all that. as far as exercises... I did leg presses, jumping, calf raises, and standing on a bosu ball.

If you injured it, i'd reccomend just going to a physical therapist. if not, and it's just weak, i think the best exercise i did was standing on a bosu ball (ball side down) and having the therapist throw shit at me (like 4lb shots). standing on one leg, bosu ball or not is the best thing you can do, imo.

That and just skate as much as you can. I got back on skates in like the end of sept... felt great at public skates after like the 2nd session. started playing pickup about a month after that. My ankle was reeeally weak.. thought it was good by january. Wrong. Took me about 8 weeks of playing twice a week to make it through the game without my ankle being so tired to the point where i could barely skate. I'd say after 1 month i could make it through 2 periods. I was a fucking trainwreck, just ask vinyl.

dude, when you gona hang out with me?

4/21/2008 2:52:21 PM

i tried to last night and you peaced out to NR

4/21/2008 2:52:43 PM

pft, i invited you, to cool to leave JP

4/21/2008 2:53:44 PM

my brother plays pee-wee hockey for a raleigh travel hockey club. next year he is supposed to move up to the bantam level....however he is definitely on the scrawny side (probably wont get his big growth spurt for another 2 years) and will probably not get a whole lot of ice time

thoughts on if he should rock house league where he will get tons of playing time and keep his game skills sharp (even though its with and against poor players) and then go back to the club team when he gets bigger, or if he should just keep up with the club team, even though he probably wont get too much playing time

it should be noted that i think he should stick with the club, and my mom thinks he should maybe to do the house league thing. it also should be noted that i think he will see some ice time because even though he is not that big, he can skate circles around most any kid and has decent puck skills

4/21/2008 3:17:49 PM

Yo B did you go see the Rollergirls last night

4/21/2008 3:59:03 PM

^ No, I had to work. Roxy!!

^^ I'd say to stick with the club. If he works hard and has decent skills, he'll find his niche, and the coaches (if they're worth a damn) will notice his effort level and reward him for it.

^^^ Like I could tell my girlfriend, "Oh yeah, don't go to JP, I'm going to another bar with another girl." Pft indeed.

4/21/2008 4:14:43 PM

Holly Wanna Crack'ya was doing a pretty solid job in the first half

I was pretty high up in the crowd but based on the program I think have a thing for Red Mojo now

4/21/2008 4:15:46 PM

4/25/2008 3:14:59 PM

Have you ever had a girl ask you to use a hockey stick in some way sexually?

4/25/2008 3:16:10 PM

If so, we need more goalies Friday afternoons at the icehouse

4/25/2008 3:19:42 PM

i was busy during morning pickup

i'll be (t)here next week

4/25/2008 3:20:28 PM

I grew up playing hockey all the way through high school... but it's been 5 years since I've played any at all, ice or inline. I haven't even skated in 2.5 years... I'd love to get back in to it.

4/25/2008 3:21:10 PM

^^^^ no

but maybe it's because i only have goalie sticks

4/25/2008 3:21:43 PM

i dunno if i told you what he said...

i come to the bench after i broke my stick in the second

and he looks at me and says, "a peanut walks into a bar and says, 'i was assaulted'."

and of course i laugh because it's so bad

and every time he'd come back in the third and i looked a little flustered

he'd look at me and say "assaulted...man, that's a good one"

4/25/2008 4:11:11 PM

hahaha thats pretty funny.

just remember. Jesus loves goalies.

4/25/2008 5:50:17 PM

4/25/2008 6:00:11 PM

5/5/2008 3:00:55 PM

no

as stereotypical as it sounds, most of them are lesbians

and the last non-lesbian defense(wo)man i went for shot me down

:-/

5/5/2008 3:02:21 PM

ewwww those athlete lesbians are gross

5/5/2008 3:03:14 PM

you'd still want to fuck them

5/5/2008 3:04:23 PM

I'll fuck damn near anything.

5/5/2008 3:07:20 PM

a few of them are really pretty

but not when they're wearing helmets

so it doesn't do me much good either way

5/5/2008 3:15:21 PM

when im i gona see pulp fiction?

5/5/2008 3:17:00 PM

erm...tomorrow?

tonight?

5/5/2008 3:17:49 PM

how unnatural is it to do those splits and knee bends?

and what's with all the pussy padding?

5/5/2008 3:18:35 PM

1. Why do Osgood and Hasek wear gay helmets?

2. Ward/Leighton in 2008-09?

5/5/2008 3:21:54 PM

it's really not unnatural at all, because it's not really gymnastic-like flexibility, it's just the ability to flash out that far for a second

the butterfly looks like it'd require extreme flexibility (and that certainly helps), but really it's just the design of the pads...they rotate around the leg and provide lateral coverage without the need for extreme hip flex

with that said, it's an entire set of completely weird body motions for someone who doesn't do them regularly

as for the padding...there's absolutely no padding on the back and even with all on the front, the puck still hurts


^ because they're goalies and they're weird...hasek's is actually composite just like normal masks, but osgood's is a plastic helmet that hasn't been made since the early '90s (same one Messier wore)

and yes to ward/leighton
