Discounted girly equipment... that's great for Ariel

What are real hockey players going to do with a junior stick?

Those sticks would make past warmups.

Anonymous said...

I think a jr stick is the same as a sr with a very slightly shorter blade and the stick itself it shorter, but not shorter than Borges stick!

Anonymous said...

Ha... you are Soooo wrong on that comment.

I have a feeling you have limited knowledge on this subject.

No problem though. For some players it will suit there purpose I guess.

For anybody coming down to Florida I doubt there will be any takers.

For power players like say Scotty, 1 shot = 1 broken stick.

composite jr sticks are not easily broken - they're made out of the same materials as a sr stick. "Jr" sticks are not the kids sticks - they are the "middle-of-the-line" sticks between kids and adult (sr) sticks. I think you're thinking of the little kids sticks.

Hey do what you want, I don't care.

Sure Jr sticks are made of the same material as SR sticks... except less material. They are smaller... i.e. thinner.

Do you think for a minute that it's only shorter and a slightly smaller blade? No way Jose!

I still hold to my premise

1 Scotty shot with a Jr stick = 1 broken Jr Stick
1 Scott wrist shot with kiddy stick = splinters all over the place.

Once again, Jr sticks are fine for smaller guys with no torque on the shot. Personally I wouldn't waste even $20 bucks in a Jr stick.

Easton Stealth S17 Senior Hockey Stick - 2008
Regular price: $254.99
Our price: $209.99

If you can really get 80% off at $42 per stick. I'll take 5 of them.

Junior sticks? Are you kidding me? NO WAY! The only things that I purchase that have the word "Junior" in them is Junior mints and the movie Junior on DVD, thank you very much!

I would like to see brett using a dollar store goalie mask!! HA Ha HA
I hope it has a sponge inside to absorb all the tears!!!

Junior Equipment on Sale?

What, are you on the Building 19 mailing list?

Any discount candle holders shaped like dinosaurs, or discount undershirts with slight fire damage?

Don't keep us in suspense!!!

Anonymous said...

Building 19 isnt that bad, theres been some good deals there on sporting goods. It just depends on what day you go.

Anonymous said...

Oh yeah? You must have gone there on "opposite's day" because every time I go, I see lousy sports equipment!

Anonymous said...

Did you really type "oppisite's day", grow up, man! You admit that you at least go to building 19, how did you not see ANYTHING good? Not even elbow pads or street hockey balls? Nothing?

Maybe the problem is you don't go there for equipment, you go there for the discount dented canned goods! Cream of squid? Yum!!!

Anonymous said...

what are you calling me poor? you dont have to get childish. If I go there will I find a new-model brand name composite Senior hockey stick for like 20 bucks?
Odds are...NOPE.
That's what I'm saying.

Just because you went there once and bought a lefty "my first hockey stick" and a cracked "digimon" bike helmet doesn't make you the authority!

Sorry to interrupt your important arguement, ladies.

Jared brought up a good point, we need a new mascot. Here's my idea:

(I left this comment on another post too, so everyone would read it, so here it is again)

the ostrich has two strong legs.
Hockey requires two strong pillars, offense and defense.

the ostrich is known as an extremely fast runner
Our team runs very fast.

the ostrich has two of the largest eyes of all land animals.
Our team uses superior hockey "vision" to make good plays

the ostrich can be viscious, atticking with powerful kicks.
Our team puts up a great fight.

the ostrich is the tallest of all birds.
Our team rises above those in our catagory.

the ostrich may not appear intimidating at first, but its advasaries are humbled after confronting it.
Us too.

The OSTRICH should be our mascot.

It sounds kinda silly, but think about it and it makes sense!

Anonymous said...

That is not a bad idea I don't think anybody else would have an ostrich as their mascot. Fine with me.

With nobody enrolling in Hockey Jedi School, I’ve been left all alone. The forces of that Sinister Sith have won many battles, both during games and intermissions.

Players simply cannot pass up the instant glory that comes with the Un-Human Growth Hormone juice.

Unless I get help, I fear the Alliance is going to be silenced. I’m thinking that we should change the name of our team. New team jerseys would need a vote. Some of those old timers are going to be upset.

With the talk of a new mascot being the ostrich. I want to through some new team names out for consideration.

Running Birds, Dek Birds, Ugly Birds or Pecking Birds

Long Necks or Long Legs

Ostrichites or Ostrichbites

O Beaks or Big Beaks or Beak Freaks

O Wings or Sting Wings

Or how about the Feather Dusters

Let's call on the creative geniuses out there!

I've got it...

The Rockin Birds

How about this for a name:

every unclean and hated bird

John said...

Longnecks make a good beer reference.

As one of the "old-timers" I don't mind either way if we keep our current team name / jerseys, or if we decide to change them.

Good reference to the "unclean and hated bird".

Worst possible "bird" name: Goose Eggs.

Other suggestions tossed out there: Running Birds (we're ostriches after all!), Stick Fowls, Birds of Prey.

i hate it. the bird looks like brett when he's yelling if it's the new mascot let's just call ourselfs brett's orders

to brendon clearly your deaf might want to have the ole ears checked out

Longnecks is a sweet name.
you get a beer reference plus an ostrich mascot. Nice.

I like "the Longnecks" that's pretty clever

is that a picture of Jared on the main page?

wow alot has happened in 3 days

first, ron i am willing to give you my center spot. i wouldn't mind playing wing.

Anonymous said...

LONGNECKS MOST DEF!!!!!!

Black and gold to black and white?.

We need new jerseys, new things will get us exited. more motivated

Can the picture on the main page be the center logo?

I'm calling number 11 right now

Anonymous said...

i call seven. too slow borges

Ron said...

I have some awesome picture editors, not MS Paint for you low techs or no techs.

I’ll mess round with this and bring or post some samples.

I call # 9 and take a cue from Jared… Hahahahahah MoHoHahahaha

Oh and Johnny, that number can be yours in exchange for an all expense paid trip to FL. I may even extend more mercy and give it back to you for carrying by equipment to and from games.

Last note…. Tony Accardi is playing again this weekend. He’s having a blast. He asked about some of you boys, wanting to know where people are from, etc.

I saw it as an opportunity to see if backup goalie in FL sounds good. He’s definitely interested, plus he plays out too. He said he can stick handle and he runs for recreation, but said slap shot not that good. He said he doesn’t stink, but not nearly as good as Brett. (Yes, he said Brett!!!).

See Brett, your our Hero… from up close and now from unknown.

I MADE IT ON THE WHINER LINE TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

I'm glad you put that in there Jedi knight.

you didn't have to but you did.

Something to think about come jersey time is

Captain . . .
Assistant . . .
Assistant . . .

A serious discussion needs to be held on this matter.

that might leave jared in the dark on this topic.

Not saying i should be captain. but being a top defender . . . .

might be wise to identify a leader on D (unless i'm goalie)

Anonymous said...

WOE! WHo put those words in my mouth. as tempting as those demands are, if met, couldn't sway my stance. There's something missing. HMMMMMMMMMM.
Hey and maybe the sith is behind the old ostrich move. If you guys go down as ostriches, you can go to a beach, find some sand, and hide your heads after every loss.

Numbers that should be worn on jerseys:

Negative numbers

Zero

Pi

Fractions

Infinity

i (imaginary)

Three digit numbers

Decimal numbers less than one (such as 0.3)

Complex Numbers (such as 4x)

Squares or cubes (such as 5 to the 3rd power)

Square roots

Roman Numerals

However, Brett should wear number 2

Brett should be the captain for the same reason fat guys are sometimes called "tiny"

Or, take a page out of the sega dreamcast playbook and name one captain, and make everyone else on the team assitant captain

Brett, Billy, go to

and fast forward to 7:34 to hear my whine today.

John said...

Ron,

You know if you take number 9 you're responsible for what comes next...I've got to go 99!

We should get there EARLY on Sunday and discuss Florida a bit more.

Brett, did you want to play out this week, or were you interested in net if I can't find a goalie? Once we start playing to practice, and we know who are FL goalie is going to be we're going to have to get other goalies down there to shoot on (so everyone can play their positions).

Anonymous said...

i'll play out.

if i do end up playing goal for florida i'll still have some time to practice.

if you don't have another goalie i'll definately play goal

John said...

Okay, I'm going to try to see if Joe is back yet or not. Worst case I could always do net too if you didn't want to.

Anonymous said...

It's very nice to see Brett's enthusiasm to play in net.

I'm going to have to copy and save that comment. I did not realize the passion that Brett still had for netminding. Good to Know!

Games are so much fun in the "Eric-era"!

Anonymous said...

yeah but would you rather sit on the bench, and let eric do the job of his whole line, or limit eric's offensive performance to play a more complete game?

Anonymous said...

Well, when you word it so carefully, what choice do you think I would make? Of course I would want to be out there playing, being part of a line playing a more "complete game"!

The problem is, amateur street hockey games are nothing like the NHL. A guy like Ovechkin may not be able to "shoulder the load" of his entire team, but Eric may.

Also, Ovechkin's passing options are way more on-par with his level that what Eric may face on an average night.

Anonymous said...

i'm not making the nhl comparison! i'm saying for example if i have a wide open net to the left of the goalie, and eric has a goalie to the post on the right side, i dont want him to try a bunch of crazy moves or a low percentage shot, i was him to pass!

Anonymous said...

i want him to pass

sorry about the spelling

Anonymous said...

Believe me, grammar seems to be the least of your problems!

Sure, if Eric has triple coverage and you have a wide open net, you DESERVE the pass! But let's say you and Eric are on a 2-on-1, the same distance from the net. Do you think that you are worthy of the pass? Unless you are someone like Billy, the answer is NO!

You are the typical Eric-basher.

Even though the game comes very easy to Eric, and you take slapshots like you are trying to hit a molecule with a toothpick, you feel as though you are on even ground. Come on!

Anonymous said...

i'm not bashing anybody! Eric is one of the best out there, but if he takes the puck by himself for the distance everytime, dont you think the other team will realize the strategy?

Anonymous said...

People talk about how Eric has a great scoring ability but lacks effectiveness? I just shake my head (side-to-side, meaning "no")

How is scoring ability not intrinsically linked to "effectiveness"?

I guess scoring the goal is not enough. Instead, he should bow at every faceoff, greet his teammates as "chaps", do a backflip or cartwheel when he doesn't have puck posession, and just before making a slapshot, greeting the goalie by tipping the top hat he will wear and saying " 'ello govnah, 'ow do ya do?"

Would that suffice?

yes, thank you

"gettin' psyched" please tone it down.
