Points for using the term "clowned". 

You never really see butt head goalies. We're all usually pretty cool.

I've only ever encountered two of these goofs ever. And they've always worn late 90's/early 2000's era gear and were slumming it up in low div 30+ hockey. 

I couldn't imagine being that much of a loser to bother.

Played in a Thanksgiving weekend 4-on-4 tourney on Black Friday, each team got (3) 30 minute running clock games, no icing/offsides, all penalties were penalty shops, pretty much no stoppages.  It was a fun time, we went 3-0.  Most of the guys were beer leaguers in various divisions (mostly upper C/B league).  One team we played plays out of another rink, we beat them a couple times in a summer tourney but there wasn't any bad blood or anything.  

Their goalie, who I've never seen before, was an absolute prick.  Right off the bat he was throwing hands at guys skating by, caught one of our guys with his blocker when he was cutting around the net, nut shotted another guy twice when he was in front- not even in the crease.  Constantly chirping and being an all around prick.  He let in a couple early on, but that didn't stop him from talking shit.  Eventually he let in one from the red line because he was too busy giving shit to one of our guys in front, but dude still chirped after that.  

They got a penalty shot, I stopped it glove side, he starts yelling shit at me...while we're up 4-0.  They finally scored one off of a 2-on-1, one timer to their guy from the slot, and dude says to me, "that went in between your legs btw"....I'm like yeah I know dude, it's 4-1.  We scored one more to make it 5-1 and I started tapping my stick loudly, other goalie was flailing his arms and yelling shit at me .  

After the game, I said "you did good out there bud", then he started talking shit to my team as we skated off the ice.  Never come across another goalie act like such a jackoff while getting clowned on the ice.  

It seems so fitting when goalies like that clearly don't know how to tend the goal and they let in soft goals.  It's almost like they are being a dick because of their own insecurity as a goalie.....hmmmmmmm.

 

I had a weird goal go in on me last night.  Lots of zone pressure, good cycling, had a puck end up at the top of the slot from a crisp pass from my right, not a one-timer but a good quick release after catching the pass and closing the gap a bit.  Shot was right at my face on my knees and I chose to use my blocker rather than my glove.  I wasn't able to steer it left or right and it was too high for me to get it going down so it just kinda ramped up my blocker, flipped back over my head and in.  Oops.  It could have only been better if it rolled down my back, haha.

Ended in a 3-3 tie, super fun game.

There is a dude that I sometimes see when subbing for a low level league who basically jaws everyone and everything. He even tries to fight people and most people just stare. I try not to laugh at him, but sometimes it's hard. My grandpa will sometimes go to watch and after games says that someone needs to knock that dude into next week when he does stuff like that. I just laugh.

You have the second most reputation and a far better ratio than me lol. Most in the top 8 do. I just spam. 

 

Plus, you're 5th on total posts. You're almost in that top rung.

Dang.  We're in the company of the suits on here.

One day @ThatCarGuy and @A.YOUNGoalie13 will have to have a proper memorial service for us on here, complete with custom DaveArt buckets honoring our memories.

What's truly remarkable is the post counts of TGN and Bunnyman. I feel like TGN never posts, so he's clearly fudging the numbers behind the scenes. 
Bunnyman still being up there just shows how all over this board he was. RIP.

Yeah, he was most active I think when I took some time off of here for a while and when I came back it was all Bunny, haha.  What a character.

So ratio, you say…? As in, dividing your rep points by the number of posts…? Minimum 1,000 posts…?

I’m sitting at about a 0.705. 
 

“Site owner” @coopaloop1234 is at… oh, look at that: 0.565. Well, that’s pretty good too, sport!

I guess that supports his contention that he mostly shit-posts.

It's because you're such an original and hilarious person, obviously. 

I absolutely don't deserve over half of those "points". They're solely awarded due to my popularity. 

I'm the all star QB in this high school baby.

Well, now the QB has planted the seed of doubt… are they laughing WITH me, or AT me…?

meh - scoring points either way.

Also a good time to point out that the leaders in points, posts, and possibly ratio are CANADIAN. Just saying…

Joking aside, it’s people like you, @seagoal, @MTH, @Chenner29, @ThatCarGuy and a host of others that make this site work. @SaveByRichter35 too, back in the day. Miss that guy, hope he’s enjoying life.

My contributions to this site are garbage lol. But I'll take the compliment and run. 

@SaveByRichter35 is doing ok as far as I know. He posted a lot of hoorah "veterans day is super important" stuff around that time down there. So dude's alive at least.

You're actually useful if someone new is like "hey, does anyone drink the Kool-aid on Warrior gloves?" but beyond that......

Oh man, so many others.  That's always a risky move, calling out the good posters. Too many to name.

But yeah, this site is great.  I'm very grateful for it. We have a good mix of older vets and youngin' vets on here with a good influx of new regulars, too.

I have no idea how I got in on this as well but I'll take it. I try to keep my gear up to date and I guess that helps a good bit and playing a decently high level of hockey it's a very good test of just how well products hold up over time. My konekts and sticks are good examples...

You play real hockey, a.k.a. not-for-beer. 

Don't sell yourself short.   We love you.
