Lucky Pucker

Stationary exercise bike, to help rehab my stupid MCL. Does that count? If you think about it, CCM stands for Canada Cycle and Motor... Man, "injured me" is lame...

Probably not strong enough to even clean said car parts...

The beer that follows an unwanted period of sobriety is a mighty brew indeed! Enjoy the blue moon!

My brother in goal and in beer!!! A virtual toast to you, good-sir! I even found a beer for you (perhaps presumptuous of me, but worthy nonetheless:)

Are we still doing this? Well I for one am “still doing this.” I’m probably a summer away from being able to play again, but I can at least drink beer like a boss. Started at beer o’clock sharp, with a new Dominion City beer called Horseshoes and Hand grenades - and it’s close to perfect, but then being “close” only counts in... how does that expression go again...?

That's kind of interesting... any thoughts as to why that is? Maybe when there's no formal defense, the goalie is more prone to injury as they over-extend themselves, trying to make miraculous recoveries and/or saves ...(?)

Cool - good luck!

Hey @jeff da goalie - any update on your situation? Did you get in to see a medical professional yet?

I think you're right about this. But how is this (perceived) pro focus working out I wonder? Let me ask you this: of the 8 goalies listed in the rosters for the Finals (3 for Washington, 5 for the Knights), how many of them wear Bauer...? Not the starters. Hell, even GruBauer doesn't wear Bauer! LOL!

Damn... sorry to hear that, dude. When I originally posted, and wrote the line "misery loves company," I wasn't implying that I wanted people to replicate my own injury. I mean, I'm flattered and all, but... Glad you're set up to see someone, and here's hoping you have a safe and speedy recovery.

So ... I have to ask: all totally worth it, right...(?!?!)

FFS dude... I want to give you a reaction, but it’s somewhere between thanks, confused and sad...? tell me which one you prefer and it’s yours (assuming you can see well enough to read this ... lol!)

Clearly I’m in no danger of winning “goalie injury bingo” with this crowd of battered and bruised belligerent backstoppers! Did the hammy tear last summer playing (my last game of) soccer, and yes it does suck. Because I never saw anyone or got it fixed, I think it may have led to the current MCL left knee issue(s). Meh.

I’m not sure what this thread will be exactly, but in part I just want to vent about how pissed off, depressed, and aggravated I am with my grade 1 MCL sprain/minor tear. I mean, I just started playing goalie in March, was taking weekly lessons, and already managed to get regular gigs with a few pickup games. It was starting to come together! Then that feckin “pop” happened... Part of my self-inflicted misery therapy was to look up “MCL” and “goalie,” and several interesting threads from the old GSBB came up. Couldn’t find any here though, so would there be any interest? Any thoughts from those of you who came over...? And it doesn’t have to be MCL- frankly, as I have no medical training, you could probably make up a condition and I’d believe it was legit - lol! Misery loves company, right?

I bet you it’s the hipsters; they bought all of it up, to drink it ironically.

Yes - but in that cultural douchebag demographic power vacuum that will follow their demise, might not something worse come along...? I am so afraid for my kids. Hopefully they grow up and decide to do something sensible - like play goalie.

FFS - I just busted a guy so loud that my kids called down to say “daddy - what are you laughing at?” They’re still too young and innocent for me to sit down and have the hipster talk with them though.

So, based on what you said about the Hipster scene, imagine how the interview would have gone if they had done one: (subtitle reads: Chad: local hipster) ”yeah, well I was on my way to buy some beard oil, when I detected a hint of simcoe hops in the air. As a wave of citra hops aromas washed over me, I realized what had happened. But, like, I don’t actually drink Philips... I only drink beer from... well, you’ve probably never heard of it...”

Wow! Last time I was in Victoria visiting my sister and my good brother in law (the other bro in law is a douche), I drove past that brewery. I really like their beer actually - but I prefer mine in a glass...

Damn! I’m learning so much on this site. I feel so much intelligenter. Wait... intelligencer?

Right, well back on topic here. This supposed to be a thread about hating on hipsters Beer! Friday before a long weekend here in Canada. After my phyiso this afternoon for the stupid MCL injury, I pick up the kids at school, and then it's beer o'clock again! Got some lovely Lowenbraus waiting for me... mmmmm - German lagers...

The Goalie Network: goalie tips, sweet gear pics, and legit legal advise!

Interesting... Does this status-based absolution apply to domestic affairs? "Well, it's not my fault that we missed a mortgage payment, honey; I'm the goalie here!"

Eh - in my case, I think it's truer to say that teams with me as their goalie know they ain't winning no championships. Or games.

They have a BrewDog in Columbus? I thought they were only in Scotland? I have also enjoyed the Elvis Juice before, thunkyavurrehmuch!
