sorry, I didn't really understand the topic so I asked the sixth thing that came to my mind

5/29/2005 4:23:03 AM

k

Topic is things you don't understand about the weirdos in the big pads.

5/29/2005 4:25:16 AM

I'd ask him why the hell can't he block every attempt at a goal, since he's so fat, and the goal is so small


or maybe he should beef up to like 600 pounds

5/29/2005 4:26:45 AM

Goal is 24 square feet, average goalie is 6', 195 lbs., so no way you can cover everything. Also, at a professional level there's so much lateral movement that many goals are going to be scored on the side of the net you're not covering before you can get there.

Even a 600 pound goalie wedged into the net wouldn't cover it all, especially along the ice, and shooters are good enough to pick exact locations with their shots. It's not hard to find three square inches among 3,456 of them.

bttt befo i get sleepy

6/23/2005 1:57:54 AM

A question, a question, my kingdom for a question.

6/23/2005 2:05:33 AM

You people make me a sad goalie, and I have to start tomorrow night.

Bye.

6/23/2005 2:15:02 AM

OK...

how often do people get sliced open with hockey skates?

6/23/2005 2:34:57 AM

Not very often, but I have a small scar on my right forearm from when I was down and I caught someone's edge.

6/23/2005 8:17:48 AM

Q: How come goalies get all the ladies?

6/23/2005 9:08:12 AM

Now she scares me:

^^^^



He had to stick his finger in the artery to keep from bleeding to death on the ice.

6/27/2005 1:23:27 AM

is it mandatory for goalies to wear spandex in interviews, even if it is a radio interview?

6/27/2005 1:31:21 AM

It is, but only for French-Canadian goalies or goalies imitating French-Canadians.

6/27/2005 1:32:40 AM

yeah, carson daily is a tool

6/27/2005 1:33:11 AM

6/27/2005 1:40:29 AM

You still didn't ask a question, you premie bastard.

6/27/2005 1:43:56 AM

what do you think about the new goalie equipment restrictions?

and my first post was a question you english bastard

6/27/2005 1:45:09 AM

I THINK THEY ARE SUPER, simply because they won't have any bearing on my equipment for 4-5 years.

6/27/2005 1:46:38 AM

is 4-5 years the time it takes for restrictions to come from the NHL to grassroots hockey?

6/27/2005 1:47:59 AM

i really havent kept up with hockey that much since i quit playing

sowhats the new restriction?

6/27/2005 1:48:36 AM

In general, no, but when you're talking about rule changes that would require every goalie in North America to buy $2000 worth of new stuff, they'll have to roll the rules into place over time, with grandfathering for older stuff all the time. In reality, no one ever checks the size of stuff in beer league.

"2005 NHL Hockey Operations Sizing Specifications For Goaltender's Equipment The Leg Guards (Pads): 1. The leg guards worn by the goaltender shall not exceed eleven inches (11") in extreme width when measured on the leg of the goaltender. 2. The maximum length from the bottom mid-point to the top mid-point of the pad shall not exceed thirty-eight inches (38"). *During the procedure of standard and surprise inspections, which will be carried out throughout the upcoming season by Hockey Operations, as series of measurements will be conducted on NHL goaltenders to determine the maximum length of the leg pad that will be permitted to be worn by each specific goalie during future NHL games. Hockey Operations and the NHLPA will determine the date at which this size specific maximum length of the leg pad is to be implemented. 3. The boot of the goal pad is to be no less than seven inches (7") in length. 4. The Knee Strap Pad (KSP, outer pad) must not exceed six inches (6") in lenghth, five and a half (5 1/2") in height and one and a half inches (1 1/2") in width or thickness. (See diagram) The Knee Strap Pad must be fastenedto the inner raisers (Velcro) to prevent the KSP from crowding the 5-hole, thus keeping the pad width within the 11" maximum width allowed. 5. The total width measurement of the entire inner knee padding (pad risers), including the outer Knee Strap Pad, must not exceed two and a half (2 1/2") in total thickness. (See diagram) The inner pads are not to exceed seven inches (7") in length, five and a half inches (5 1/2") in width and two and a half (2 1/2") in thickness. The seven (7") is measured from where the inner padding attaches to the leg pad and back to the end of the inner pad. (See diagram) 6. The calf protectors must follow the contour of the calf and ankle and be no thicker than one and a half (1 1/2"). This measurement includes all padding in this area, both outer and inner calf protecting padding. 7. No raised ridges will be permitted on the calf protector that would be deemed to act as deflectors of pucks. 8. The boot channel of the goal pad must be flat or concave and not convex in appearance. (See diagram) 9. Medial rolls (raised seam ridges) will not be permitted. (See diagram) The Chest and Arm Pads: 1. No raised ridges are allowed on the front edges or sides of the chest pad, the inside or outside of the armr, or across the shoulders. 2. Layering at the elbow is permitted to add protection but not to add stopping area. This layering, both across the front and down the sides, to protect the point of the elbow shall not exceed seven inches (7"). This elbow hinge must be fixed/attached so they do not move on the arm. 3. Shoulder Cap Protectors must follow the contour of the shoulder cap without becoming a projection/extension beyond or abov the should or shoulder cap. This contour padding must not be more than one inch (1") in thickness beyond the top ridge of the shoulder and shoulder cap. To assure contouring in this area, a fixed strapping from the shoulder caps to the back straps should be used. 4. On each side the shoulder, Clavicle Protectors are not to exceed seven inches (7") in width. Their maximum thickness is to be one inch (1"). This protection is not to extend or project above or beyond the shoulder or shoulder cap nor extend beyond the armpit. No insert isallowed between the Shoulder Clavicle Protector and the chest pad that would elevate the Shoulder Clavicle Protector. 5. If, when the goalie assumes his normal crouch position, the shoulder and/or shoulder cap protection is pushed above the contour of the shoulder, the chest pad will be considered illegal. 6. Rib protection must follow the contour of the body. 7. Length and size (L or XL) to depend on individual goalies body length (height) and chest measurement. Customized alterations can be addressed to accommodate specific goalie's needs, with approval from Hockey Operations. Note: Hockey Operations must be allowed to control sizing by visual determination. The combined look of the upper body, pant and jersey combination will determine whether size changes will be enforced. Goaltenders Pants: 1. The maximum width (measured in a straight line) of the thigh pad across teh front of the leg is ten inches (10"). All thigh pads must follow the contour of the leg. Square thigh pads are illegal. 2. No external or internal blocker or "cheaters" are permitted on the pant leg or waist. This includes blocks previously found on the waist and in the 5-hole. 3. All knee protection must be strapped and fit under the thigh pad of the pant leg and not exceed the ten inches (10") allowed for the width of the thigh pad. 4. Goalies will be sized using specific "slotting scale" which will be determined by the individual's waist measurements. 5. Pants can be increased in "butt area" to accommodate those goalies who require more room in this area. This enlarging of the "butt area" must not "visually" increase the pant size when viewed from the front. 6. Higher hip/kidney paddin may be necessary for taller goalies and can be customized on an individual basis with Hockey Operations approval. *There is no longer a need for our goalies to wear XXL pants. Pants must be narrower at the hips so they visually flow with the look created by the tighter fitting jersey. The Blocking Glove: 1. The protective padding attached to the back or forming part of the goalkeeper's blocking glove shall not exceed eight inches (8") in width nor more than fifteen inches (15") in legth at any point, including the bindings. 2. The flap protecting the thumb and wrist must be fastened to the blocker and this protection must follow the contour of the thumb and wrist. This protective piece must not exceed seven inches (7") in lenghth when measured from the top of the blocking surface. (See diagram) 3. Raised ridges are not to be added to any portion of the blocking glove. The Catching Glove: 1. The perimeter of the catching glove (the complete distance around) is not to exceed forty-five inches (45"). 2. The wrist cuff width (height) must be four inches (4"). 3. The wrist cuff length must be no more than eight inches (8"). 4. The T-basket must be no more than eighteen inches (18") in length. (See diagram) "

Why do they call it a beer league?

6/27/2005 1:51:32 AM

why thank you

6/27/2005 1:51:54 AM

Because after the game everyone goes out to the parking lot and has a beer instead of doing interviews.

6/27/2005 1:53:15 AM

What style do you prefer?

6/27/2005 1:54:14 AM

Goaltending style? Quebec butterfly, though I still need to work on my rebound control off the chest, and I use my arms a lot, so my style of preference is a sort of a hybrid reactive Q-fly. Point being, I go down on 90+% of shots.

6/27/2005 1:59:12 AM

but do you flop like a fish like Hasek?

6/27/2005 1:59:44 AM

6/27/2005 2:00:00 AM

I go straight down in the butterfly, no flopping, though I have been known to lay out when having to cover a second pass on a 2-on-0 or rolling over on my back to cover down low with my shoulder/arm if I get beat tracking from the top of the crease to the post.

did he punch a reporter or something too?

or am i just making that up?

6/27/2005 2:05:33 AM

I won't hesitate to hold my stick in the face of someone who's charging if I've covered the puck. I'm not much for confrontation, but I will say that a blocker is the deadliest weapon a man can have in the sport of locker boxing.
