wow, what a finish.

great job keeping the puck in, awesome poke check by somebody at center line to save the game, a lot of whacking at thin air to hit the loose puck, hah.  great ending.
the Pens have a unique style of play.  When they cycle the puck, they get a lot of shots from that LW spot where STamkos likes to get one timers from and where TK likes to shoot from when he's wide open.  Staal just got one, and I've seen it a lot.  It's a tough angle to get a great shot, but man, Staal coulda gone forehand shortside cheese and the goalie wouldn't have had a chance.  Oh well.  That Bourne article on PuckDaddy today was actually good, talks about confidence and not thinking the other guys are better than what they really are.  I know it'd be helpful advice for a lot of rec league players, including myself.  Just gotta take chances, sometimes.

restrepo

yeah, afghanistan is all mountains in the north, take a look at a map
sometime. those are huge mountains, no one can control that. not
the taliban, not the us, no one.

third poorest nation in the world. we don't gain shit from it. they
just send in a byunch of foreign insurgents to do the fighting. i cant
say theres no reason to be there, but theres very little.

n ot the greatest documentary, but not bad. some of the reviews are
pretty accurate sayin the emotional iumpact is missed on the viewer.
disjointed narrative. not that there needs to be a narrative, but it
doesnt get in depth on too much. Restrepo this Restrepo that. the
best guy, that staff sergeant, i could see why they were scared that
if the best guy died thats not a good sign for anyone else.

leaving tomorrow, around 6am, probably get food before takin off. no
reason to be here, why not watch this movie. pens play tonight, ill
try to watch that.


just like the russians, us won't or can't win there. just maintain.

looks really boring to be there. i dont want to do that shit.

wowww, what the video to the right called "close but no goal"

http://video.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=35&id=105795&utm_source=bleacherreport.com&utm_medium=referral

gotta be the whackiest goal i've ever seen, and they say its not in, fuck that.

still, how do it stay along the goal line in mid air with that many
bodies around? dang


good article on hef, read a little so far.

movies to watch

hey man, watch restrepo.. definitely shows why we're screwed in afghanistan.  I'm not even sure how you'd go about winning that "war"   I doubt anybody does.  good documentary.  Interesting characters.  The guy that smiles when talking reminds me of the guy in Shoah that always smiled until he talked about something that wasn't funny.  He said something like "What am I supposed to do, laugh or cry? Laughing is better."  SOmething like that.

Also, watch "The War Tapes".. evidently it's National Guards with digital cameras in Iraq.

And "Armadillo"  haven't looked that one up yet

Sunday, March 27, 2011

too easy wtih your characters, man.  you can run through the game and not even worry about coming close to dying.. there's a mini-boss character that might give you trouble but as long as you know how to get the AI characters in, well, it's too easy then.

good game

this game, i dont know man. too hard in some spots.  it's only 'cause there are too many enemies to fight in one battle.  take away one enemy and it would be a more fair fight.. probably still hard, but not impossible.  

i dont have time to fight one battle 20 times, at least not when this happens to multiple battles in one quest.

wow dude, awesome articles here man.  www.thewillpower.org

hilarious first article up top

Re: [Madness Writers] Re: [Madness Writers] 3/25/2011 12:04:00 PM

Must be humid if it's cooler but feels hotter.

Comrie, eh, we'll see how he does.  Pensblog I think said he played 19 games before his injury.. November 23rd or around there.  I thought it was only 9 or 10 games.

Oh, that tornado, yeah I didn't mention that.  there was a tornado by Hempfield High school on.. WEdnesday I think.  Hail the size of golfballs, literally.  Emily was napping on the couch, I was making dinner, and all of a sudden all I could hear was a lot of eggs hitting the roof, sidewalk, driveway, and road.  Look otuside, and huge snowflakes were falling like rocks.. take a closer look, and it's hail.  I woke Emily up to look at it, and she actually went outside after it was done, brought three of 'em in.  Two were the size of a golfball, one was like 2 golfballs.  Huge stuff.  Then, the tornado hit around Hempfield high school. They closed the school on Thursday 'cause of damages.  maybe today, too, no idea.   http://www.myfoxtwincities.com/dpp/video/hempfield-pa-tornado-youtube-mar-25-2011    it's raelly close, but look at how small.. but nah dude, the real thing when it grows, it's not that small, i'll find a good video depiction.

There are other videos I'll find for you, but the ONLY reason this video is so popular is because the kid doens't cuss.  In other vids, the teens cuss a lot , so obviously they can't go viral, 'cause the real media can't play it.  There was one video where the teen is really calm about it all. let me see if i can find that one. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IPpLqlxCa8 yeah dude, look at that thng, man.  And the weather channel never officially declared it a tornado until today, I think.  Then again, it neve rreally touches the ground, either.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xq-4hr0owDw&feature=related  wow, that looks like a tornado.   Dang, it was rated as an F2 tornado.  110-135 mph.  No joke. 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3h7N2hyMOs&feature=related good video of golfballs coming down.

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1864488661425&set=a.1864488621424.2108945.1517266323&ref=nf#!/photo.php?fbid=1864490181463&set=a.1864488621424.2108945.1517266323&pid=32002063&id=1517266323  Look at that house, man.  These pictures were taken by Brandon, the kid who always takes pictures of us at hockey.  These houses are right beside his (not sure which is his).

Thursday, March 24, 2011

this game is all defense.  Good game.  Pens have more chances.  Kovy in the slot, wide open and receives a pass but had no momentum, shot it pretty weak for an NHL player right into Bobrovsky.  TK had another wide open from the slot shot, no dice.  Flyers almost got another lucky break, but nope.

wow, Neal with a huge wide open shot, goes wide, Kovy gets it and puts it into Bobrovsky again I think.  SHoulda been a goal.

Jeffries hurt.. can't get up.. on his knees.

Dang, Carter fell on Jeffrey just like Myers fell on Malkin.  Torn MCL I bet.

still 1-1 after two periods.  I"m gonna get going.  I'll see who wins tomorrow.

Richards got a lucky goal in the first.  Ah well.  1-0 after 1.

dragon age

fun game.  really just an extension on Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights wtih tactics that don't really seem to work the way I'd like them to.  And the different views, but I only use the helicopter view, down in the acdtion gets too messy.

Played about 1.5 hours tonight, got through one part.  The action is by far the best part of the game.  Although, if you try to take on whole groups of people, it'd be hard.  When I encounter a group of enemies, I try to get half or less to come after me.. it's kinda lame 'cause you can con the game.  At one point, you get 5 party members, but you can never have more than 4.  It could be possible, but it'd be a lot of pausing to have each member do what you want them to do.  WIth only 4 people, there's a lot of pausing.  It'd be a fun multiplayer game, but with the fast-paced games these days, I couldn't see it being very popular online for coop.  Then again, there'd be no pausing needed, just good communication.

gotta work the next 2 days.
Other things that happened during the game:

- Somehow the puck got turned over in the offensive zone, with me getting the puck.. there was a defensemen in front to my left, a teammate 20 feet in front going to the goal, and a defensemen behind him (he turned it over to me).  So once the puck comes to me, I quickly passed it to the teammate but it was too hard of a pass.. I tried to do it so it would go to maybe 10 feet in front of the goalie and stop so he could pick it up and get the easy shot.  Ah well.

- Dished out 2 one-timers from the goal line.. both passes went higher than expected.. first one-timer, the teammate was wide open, he hit the puck out of the air and it bounced to the goal, but the goalie somehow got it.. no idea how, the puck bounced pretty high.

- Won one faceoff by faking forehand and going backhand right before the ref dropped the puck.. the other faceoff guy had no clue what I was doing, so I won that one pretty easily to the RD.  

- Won another faceoff by going forehand, turned my body into him and quickly dished it to the LD.. it was so quick that he almost didn't get it, had to immediately put his stick down.  I wouldn't have expected it either.

- At least two of the faceoffs that I 'lost' went to my RD 'cause I'd go backhand and the other guy would go forehand.. he'd hit it forward instead of backwards.

6 minute shifts are no joke, man.  No way you could do that on a consistent basis and be effective.  

We were up 2-0, then tied 2-2, 3-2, 3-3, 4-3, then it went to 6-4.  I was out there for the final 1.5-2 minutes, got in front of the goalie with maybe 30 seconds left, teammate takes the puck from the RW side up to the RW point and cuts across the top of the circles, shoots it down on the ground and must have went 5 hole.  Goalie never saw it.  I never saw where it went, but I saw it go in the net.  7-4, game over.  No idea how that team got ranked 3rd.  We beat 'em 7-1 the first time, and 7-4 this time.  They have one of the better players on their team.

- An opponent took the puck up the LW side, a teammate poked the puck, and I got it since I was trailing the play.. another teammate comes over to get it but sees that I got it so he takes off, so I quickly backhand it to him.. perfect pass that went between 2 Dmen and in front of him, so he could keep his momentum.

- At the very end of the game, I reached out really far to stop a pass on the forecheck, and I ended up running into the guy, hitting him with my left shoulder.  Luckily I was wearing tshoulder pads.  However, I got thrown into the air, stick came outta my hand, landed on my back or left side or something, I don't know, I didn't feel it with all my pads on.  

Fun stuff.  Oh yeah, it's nice that we won, 'cause we have next week, and then the week after, they have the free evaluation , so even if we lose next week, there's free play the week after.   And then the next season starts the very next week.  So no breaks.  Maybe it would have been nice to lose last night just so I could take off the next 2 weeks to make sure my back stays good.

2 hours left on Dragon Age

so u can download it whenever you want. it'll be done overnight for me.

watch, listen at .2

where's the problem?

http://www.wired.com/playbook/2011/03/physics-basketball-shots/2/

answer below

the buzzer goes off BEFORE 0.0. wtf. i noticed that the first itme
cuz i was like "he had to release that WAY before 0.0 for that to
count"

dragon age

downloaded the demo for dragon age 2, its pretty much a 3d version of
baldur's gate, pretty sweet. pretty hard too, the part I got to, then
i stopped cuz i figured i dont want to spend forever playin a demo
when i could play the real thing.

it works well with our computer, it forces the computer to use
DirectX9, u'd need a DirectX10 compatible video card to use Directx11
for all the great graphics...really, i dont know how much better it
would look, it plays smooth, loads fast. i didnt have any problems
iwth it.

its better than mass effect (a lot more action, its basically 85%
action, a little bit of dialogue, a cut scene here and there, and a
few seconds of loading every once in a while.

download dragon age origins man. i hear the first is a helluva lot b
etter than the 2nd, i guess the action micromanagement sucks in 2, a
lot easier and dumbed down. i dont know, u can set up some really
good tactics for your teammates (would be too hard to explain in
writing) based on situation or a general tactics, and u can link em
together, its pretty sweet. and like Knights of the Old Republic a
lot of people say its easier to payse the game during fights to
micromanage. probably, cuz that hard part i made it to was pretty
rough. not sure what i could have done differently though.

let me find a torrent.

and im trying to Root my phone (basically get adminstrator rights like
in Windows) so i can set up this free wifi rather than playing money
for it a month (or 10 one time fee for this other program). plus i can
do a lot more with hte phone if i wanted, not that i really care, i
just want the free wifi tethering.

probablythe best one i found, they're all huge, this had most seeders.
http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5435915/Dragon_Age_Origins___Awakening___DLC___Guide_ALL_IN_ONE

try it and see if it downloads.

taped up my 2 new sticks and got the new blade on.  It's sweet, man.  Can't get any straighter.  only got 19 pucks, got jipped by one.  They weigh a bit more, but it's not really that noticeable.  Probably is when shooting and puck handling.  The shooting board doesn't seem to be the greatest.. definitely not like ice, but it'll work for shooting.  vinyl tile flooring and roller pucks is where it's at.

Too bad I can't play for a few weeks. Or whenever my back is better, hopefully sooner.
went to physical therapy and the doc.  ordered some motrin, nothing exciting.   Physical therapist said my spine at the bottom is rotated to the left.  No wonder I have pain.  (Can't be from hockey, because I have to twist to the left to shoot, so it's obviuosly from lifting patients.  Makes sense to me, but I didnj't ask about that.. not giving any hints of hockey in case they want to revoke the worker's comp. If it was rotated to the right that could possibly be hockey related from the c onstant rotation when shooting/passing)  Better go away is all I can say. I 'm not dealing with that the rest ofm y life.  I'll ask them tomorrow about recommendations for playing sports.  Keep in vague so they dont know.

Shared one article on Reader about skating patterns by Duncan Keith and Lidstrom.. interesting.

Caps - Red Wings on tongiht on Versus.  I might watch.

Wow, my team won last night, in 6th place overall.  Hopefully I can play next week.  We'll see.

Interview with Hideous Men: Stories by David Foster Wallace.. supposedly a really good book, try to find it online
http://www.slate.com/id/2288313/entry/2288308/?from=rss  interesting article on destroying stuff so the US can get outta Iraq.  WHy don't they just keep the stuff there, I don't get that.

hmm

I'm gonna have to start recording Tosh.0.  He's definitely a good comedian.  Maybe not hte funniest, but he's got character.

Won't be watching the Pens.  Forgot my headphones.  Oh well.  THey dont play again until Sunday. 

that article on the Ph.D female professor who shot fellow professors, good article man.

Saturday, March 12, 2011

good movie.  realistic dialogue, it's like you're watchin' two people in real life except they talk about interesting topics for the most part.  the whole soul argument, I've thought of that before.  He takes it a step further and says that we're just a fraction of a soul nowadays.  Interesting take.  THe poet, yeah, I agree, he already had that written, threw in the line on milkshakes.  And the fortune teller - the line about "if they spoke the truth, they'd run themselves out of business" hah, yeah, definitely.  The woman then says "Well, I liked it."  Of course you did, you spent money on it, basically paid to hear what you wanted to hear.  Gotta rationalize those expenditures.  Ethan Hawke definitely has the better ideas.

This game, a Grim Fandango game.  Good stuff.  Will takea while to complete.  Sometimes you just have to use a walkthrough unless you wanna spend 10 hours to find one item.  I'm not doing that.

apparently an amazing game, only 250mb too

came out in the last month or so.

http://megauploadsearch.net/view1.php?id=3223679

one of the best adventure games ever, i guess.

http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/03/01/gemini-rue-review/

looks good. downloading now. downloading a dragon age 2 demo,
probably wont work cuz of these computers.

i have counterstrike, too. might play a few games.

Re: [Madness Writers] 3/12/2011 02:28:00 AM

says you'll get your stuff by the end of Tuesday. too bad you cant play man.

this tosh isnt bad. on part 5 now. his show is weird and i thought he
sucked, he's not all garbage.

good stuff right here, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDau36BDFRw&feature=related

Re: [Madness Writers] oh, one more thing

yeah dude, i bought a regular 8" plug, not the ergonomic one that
bends, seems like the bent ones limit your movements with the hands.
and it'd be weird to shoot. might be more power but your accuracy
must plummet it would seem. like holding a vacuum in your
hands...thats not a hockey stick man.


buffalo won last night, takes devils chances down from 1.1 to .9. i
doubt they'll make it, only 3 reg losses in last 24 games i believe..
last was to Ottawa, hahahahhahahaha

Re: [Madness Writers] 3/11/2011 11:56:00 AM

dang. 21 lbs for your stuff. 7 for mine.

gonna start playin one of these games. i have nothing to do until
sunday morning (hockey), and i guess next two afternoons with the pens
games. weapons immersion next week, cant leave base. still playin
hockey next weekend and the weekend after, then shipping my stuff the
monday the week I leave (sending it to heathers so i can pick it up
and start playin hockey April 3rd, that sunday night. boom.

i gotta look for a house/apt in georgia. craigslist looks like the
best place. ill talk to heather about that tonight.

call me whenever. tell me about that house, son. booom

Re: [Madness Writers] ha

go meet him man, right down the street. no hockey on friday nights either! booom
that nucks sharks game reminds me of the flyers caps game from october of the 09/10 season when the final score was 8-7.  Goals galore.  That one play with two breakaways was awesome, and the one guy on the SHarks who took the puck in and got a breakaway after beating 4 guys, that was amazing.  Wasn't really a breakaway, but it might as well have been.


good movie so far http://www.novamov.com/video/4a8c10f18031f  won 4 oscars i think. never heard of it

ha

http://www.esquire.com/features/what-it-feels-like/earthquake-in-japan-today-4562902?src=rss  Twain, always good for the funnies.  One woman who had been washing a naked child ran down the street holding it by the ankles as if it were a dressed turkey.


TK is gonna be at westmoreland mall at the end of the month.  $20 for autograph, $5 for a certificate of authenticity.  I guess if you wanna sell it.  Josh told me about it, haven't found any news about it.



what a game

u gotta watch these highlights
http://www.nhl.com/ice/recap.htm?id=2010021014&utm_source=bleacherreport.com&utm_medium=referral
one of the best ive seen in a while

spent 340 on all that hockey gear. its all shipping today, too. u
should get everything monday. definitely by tuesday before your game.
get that playoff spot, booom.

going to get my oil changed.

oh yeah, let me find this real quick: if this isnt proof of a
suspension worthy hit then no one should ever be suspended, including
Gillies. i cant find it but its compelling evidence..cuz chara has
his hand on that guys head AS he's hitting the stanchion, basically
pushing him into it more after the hit. and yet chara claims he didnt
know. bullshit. like sedin said, u've been polayin 20 years and to
act like u dont know where u are on the ice is nonsense.

oh well

Thursday, March 10, 2011

oh, one more thing

one guy on my team bought an end plug, an ergonomic one.  he said it was nice.. never saw anyone use one before.  seemed pointless, but might be nice.

order

they canceled the previous order at 3 pm, i wasn't around.  bought a house. I'll tell you about it osmetime.

No big deal on the pants.. the ones I got for free are definitely large.  

I have 2.5 stick tape rolls, i never really use it anymore, whatever's on the blade stays on there for at least a month.  Although, I'll be tapin' the new sticks and the new blade, so i'll probalby be down to 2 rolls.  That's not bad, had 'em since november, i think.

those skates are definitely short.  SHoudlnj't be much of a problem, though.

dude you gotta check ur ryanblakdeth email occasionally

cuz they canceled both orders.

i reordered everything, no big deal, had to use paypal. i called to
make sure i get my discount.

since my paypal email is different.

the only difference was I put no hockey pants on ur order since u got
them with those skates.

everything else was the same. I got 6 stick tape rolls for myself, 9
smackers total. ill bring some up whenver i come up over the summer

also, just ship that blade to

Heather/Sean Ross
115 Driftwood Cir
Slidell, LA 70458

I'm having everything shipped there for me so that i can pick it up
and go to Georgia and play hockey, booom, since im picking all of
Heathers stuff up on the way. making a good bit of money on this
move.

Have fun, going to get an oil filter for my bike. Gotta change that oil, booom.

best nhl playoff page

http://www.sportsclubstats.com/NHL.html

devils went up from .8 to 1.1 even though they lost, cuz rangers AND
hurricanes both lost yesterday. huge. ducks beat the rangers and
their playoffs went up pretty high. interesting stuff.

Wednesday, March 9, 2011

devils lost, huge. 75% of makin playoffs before that game. they need
to win pretty much ever ygame.

not bad on the game, get 3 goals in one shift, booom. and when i come
down ill teach em how to pass. you show em "hey, u're comin down the
wing with the puck. i, as a n opponent know u dont pass, so my winger
forechecks and i backcheck, double team u. what do u do?" ummm. "I
dont care if the guy im defending one on one is wide open either...not
like he's gonna be a threat until the next time your team gets
possession assumin he has the puck"

oh....ok buddy, i get your point.

damn straight you do. now fuckin pass it, hockey is a team sport.

i didnt have much of a problem with no passing in CA, except for open
skates. usually the no goalies ruined it more than naything.

Tuesday, March 8, 2011

got hit in the head tongiht.  Reached out to poke the puck , skating forward and slightly hockey turning left (guy was on my right going to my left).. he reaches his elbow up into my head, knocked me down, no pain or anything.  Head felt like it could have turned into a headache, but never did.  Minor minor concussion?  I couldn't imagine a real one, man.  

Jesus Christ, what a hit by the partition. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mx2AxYxgqRA&feature=player_embedded  you know the NHL is gonna do something to fix the partitions, now, or at least pretend.  http://www.kuklaskorner.com/index.php/tuc/comments/zdeno_chara/ These people are arguing 10 games, but the ocmmenters, rightfully so, are saying it was just an unfortunate event.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mA_BDn37VSE&feature=player_embedded  This guy knows what he's talkin' about.  Chara didn't mean to do that.

We won in OT.  Were losing 4-1, got 3 goals in one shift (I wasn't playin' during it).  It's hard to know what to do when you never get the puck.  At one point, the guy actually passed it to me, I swept the puck up with my shaft while I was skating backwards and it stopped like it should, but I kept moving backwards, hah.  Gotta work on that.  Other than that, not much ahppened.  I threw my stick at one point 'cause my team was pissin' me off.  I told the 2nd best player that they should pass more, they nver pass, then I said at least he tries.  "I'm not passing it to you any more" he said in jest, he's a comical guy.  The other guy never passes.  So  I would just go tothe net.  It pisses me off.  I dont even care if we make the playoffs, really.  I just want a new team.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSUJqSLFAwM&feature=related  amazing deke man, jeez.  Crosby is missed.  To even attempt that, you gotta know you're good.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNGIp45_WCU&NR=1  Jesus, where did Malkin go?  he dekes like 5 players and then has 4 players on his ass and STILL has the puck, then Ovie checks him.  What a player.  Scores later on.  I don't remember this stuff, I just remember thinking "this is real hockey, what's it all about".. too bad you missed out, man.  Amazing stuff.  Yeah, and then you watch the Canes' series after this one and it wasn't even worth it, there was no competition, no fear of losing.  

Back is killing me from work.  Might play tonight, but defintely taking the rest of the week off.  Frickin' gay.  I might hav eto go to the doctor, there's no way I can do more damage.  

Lot of games I see that you found.  I'll have to check 'em out some other time.

a few games that im lookin up

sacrifice...thats a fuckin hard game. it has extremely high ratings.
i couldnt even make it past level 5. thats ridiculous man. a lot of
people say you really gotta work at that game to get it. u gotta do
something, which i havent figured out, to enjoy it.

my helmet. the one ear pad is completely cut from the other part but
the tightening unit int eh back is connected to it. the front half of
the padding i think needs glued down (the ear part is part of this
part, so its nothing big.

its not worth 100 smackers but its comfortable, much better than my
old one. 30 isnt bad. he paid 10 smackers for shipping. i would
have gladly paid an extra 10 for that. its obviously worn, but better
for me, makes me look like im a veteran. if i can find another one
ill pick it up for ya.

Re: [Madness Writers] hockey

yeah there were a few times i'd get sick of hockey. usually if i was
too tired, (at the lats Iron Man I stopped playing after 4 games cuz i
was too exhausted. took the bus home, got food, walked up the hill,
ate, and passed out, around 7, woke up at 10 the next morning or so.
the kid, 12, pretty damn good and could compete against the good guys,
wanted me to stay and play wit hthe team. but i was done man. i felt
bad, but i had nothing left. i believe i was catching an illness,
too, cuz our goalie said i sounded like my throat was sore. that was
already happening for 2 weeks), and sometimes for open skate if the
people didnt show up or , especially, no goalies, i hated it.

no goalies sucks.

thats why i cant wait to get to gordon. the people here, while
decent, its the same people, 2 decent people who play way too hard and
make it a 1 on 1 (or if its both on the same team, i usually dont play
very hard so we can end that game quicker. tho last time we only
played an hour or maybe 45 min). and we play on concrete with a chain
linked fence above the boards., just not the same. im not gonna dive
on concrete or skate hard into the "boards" and get cut up by teh
fence. ive hit it a few times and its not fun.

hockey

so, hockey was kind of a waste. I don't nkow, I feel tired all the time and today it really made me not feel like I wanted to go.  Add in the fact that I felt not many people were gonna show up, and a lot of the guys aren't very good.. it gets frustrating and feels like a waste.  We played for maybe 30 minutes before the high school kids practiced, and I was on the shit team.. only one other guy could do anything, but he's not that good.  so I would take the puck up myself, and, since i rarely ever had anyone to pass the puck to, I would go around the net and either pass to the point, or end up losing the puck (gotta work on that backhand-on-the-puck-while-skating-and-turning-right, it's not that bad, could be a bit better).  The other team had 4 good kids.. so even the goalie was sayin to them "you guys gotta switch up teams.. I like blocking all these shots and all, but it's not fun for the other goalie."  I was thinking screw that, it's not much fun for anyone.  Well, the goalie would be havin' fun stopping shots, I guess.  We took their best player, not sure why, I said to give us another player who wasn't as good but still good at hockey.  

If I played offense, the guys would lose the puck really quickly and then I wouldn't be able to defend, so they'd get a breakaway.  If I played defense, we couldn't get the puck out of the zone, and then they'd get a 2 on 1 breakaway which I can stop, but you can't stop 'em all.  i can see why kids and even pros would lose the passion for the game after a while.  I feel like i"m kinda losin' some of the motivation 'cause the only way to get better is to play with better players.. work on passing, shooting, 

I make some of the kids look a lot better, but you can't shoot, pass, or dangle for them.. putting the puck on their blade makes 'em look a lot better, that's for sure.  

And this open curve, it's not that bad.  I'm already used to it.  It's much easier to shoot it over the crossbar if you aim high, but after you figure it out after a shot or two, you konw where to put the puck.

I was practicing breakaways on the goalies.. it was hard for me to go up the middle and fake going left and then cutting hard right.. I did it once, and the goalie laid out right where I was about to go (he missed the poke), and I tripped over him, landing on my right wrist and left shoulder.. left shoulder hurts man.  I sat down for 5 minutes after that, didn't feel good.  Got shot in the back of the leg right behind the knee.  Guy was going to take a shot so I turned my back to him to protect my front.  

These shooting boards aren't bad at all.  gonna try to put 'em together tonight. already gettin' tired
Jeremy Walton
Hello! I just wanted to let everyone know that Jerry Lucia is running for county commissioner in 2011. He has served the community that most of us grew up in for over 30 years. I'm part of a group that is getting the vote out for Jerry for the upcoming Democratic primary and then the general election. A facebook page and group including his values and plans for the county is also under construction. Please leave a message for me here if you would like to get involved with his candidacy. This could include various items such as placing yard signs, working the polls, or passing out flyers. Thanks.

hilarious

man, somebody posted a candidacy report on that high school page on facebook.  Somebody is running for some political seat in the country or town or something. I didn't fully read the message, I was laughing so hard at the idiocy of the poster.  I even put a message "hahahahahahahahahahahaha. Epic Win right here."  then I deleted it.  YOu gotta be lame tryin' to get campaign help from a high school reunion.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130492112952&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT#ht_499wt_1154

i have the highest bid so far. was thinkin of putting it higher, it
should go higher. that crack isnt gonna change its effects. and itll
make it cheaper.

my bicycle helmet cracked when i crashed the one time. it was still
good to go. even if u hit the same spot it would protect you, but then
it'd probably render the helmet worthless cuz it'd be a huge crack.

that foam and plastic is hard man, and im gonna be playin a rec
league, not pro. no checking.

ends tonight, few hours.

Re: [Madness Writers] quick game update

i thought u said u were playin 3 mediocre teams for hte next 3 weeks?

stay on D man, if ur providing that kind of support and u still have
wingers to score.

why would that best guy even consider moving u two back to your
respective positions?

do your teammates ever get in the crease/slot and screen? that was
pretty much my only position on offense, unless a teammate was
looking to pass and then Id move out to get more open. the guys in CA
would tell me to play more rough after a shot, to get in the goalies
face and whack at rebounds. a lot of times thje goalie would glove or
cover the puck, no rebound.

quick game update

Hey man, sent you a text.  Screened the goalie thrice, goals each time.  That's while playing D 'cause I would go up on O and do my thing, then quickly come back on D.. left the other D hanging a few times, but man, with some of those guys out there on O, they need my help.  Or anybody's help.  After the game, the 2nd best player on the team told me to go back to O and for the guy who plays D regularly to go back to D 'cause he switched with me tonight.  Said we're both better in our respective positions.  I dont konw man, we gave up 1 goal while i was on D.  and it was 'cause on the faceoff, the 2nd best player (plays D) went for the puck, hit it back so I went to get it .. was between me and another guy on the other team, he got it first and went wide to my right, I skated to him but he shot it when I was about to block any type of forward momentum, and it went 5 hole, 'cause the goalie never frickin' blocks that entry point.  Ah well, should have been a shutout.  

The first screen, best player slaps it from center court, I'm way ahead 'cause he never passes (most of the time I was way behind in case he coughed it up), I was gonna try to redirect it down but it was so high and it was coming straight for me, I quickly moved out of the way and turned my back in case I did get hit, luckily it went past me and into the net.  

on D, I almost gave up one goal, I had to stop a few 2 on 1s.. the one, I was in between the two attackers, puck goes across my feet, hit it with my stick but it deflected diagonally instead of sideways so it went to the other attacker, wide open net but he hit the post.    A few other times, I went on my knees to block the pass, works a lot.  ALthough, the one time, the puck hit the toe of my skate and came up.. man, if it wasn't for my toe, that would have been a goal against.  BUt yeah, you can stay out there 6 minutes until you're dead, and that's skating on O a lot.  The best player wanted me to come off after 2 minutes, this was after the other two Dmen were out there for 6 minutes.  i was like "screw that" and stayed out there for 4 minutes.  I wanna play, too.  

The only bad pass I tried to receive, the puck was coming from my right and going to my left skate.. I did the patented slide-the-right-hand-to-the-bottom-of-the-shaft and stop it, but somehow it hit the toe of the blade and kept going.  I wish I had someone to help work on passing while skating hard.  Ah well.  Have fun.
