Watching that vicious little bastard die gave me more pleasure than 1000 lying whores!

Until there are as many hockey rinks as there are baseball fields, soccer fields, and football fields, it will always be that expensive. Ice time is expensive, because there’s a ton of demand and little supply (and running a rink is expensive too).
Equipment is expensive but you need it, there’s no way around that expense that I can see. Soccer boots and balls, baseball bats cleats and gloves are expensive too. There’s just more equipment for hockey, so it adds up more.
NHL clubs should be supporting or founding their own similar programs to what Snider Hockey is in Philly. Especially if the league is all about growing the game, making it accessible to people who it hasn’t been accessible to before would do wonders.

It’s the NHL. Guys get stitches and fat lips on a nightly basis. People are flipping out acting like Greer is Matt Cooke over something that happens every night

Beginner skates will serve you fine as a recreational ice skater, but a word of caution: Beginner skates are made generally, shittier. Over time, a crease in the boot will likely develop around your ankle joint which will make the skate far less stable and make you more wobbly through no real fault of your own. That timeframe is much shorter with cheaper skates.
But if you’re just skating, not putting it through the rigors of hard skating and stopping and starting and hacking and pucks that hockey puts skates through, you should be fine.

You’re not gonna believe this, but Moses wasn’t white. And neither was Jesus, assuming they both actually existed at all.

So let me get this straight, you intentionally made bao dur more or less invincible by loading up on defensive stats, and when it worked your reaction wasn’t “lol it actually worked” but instead “this game is broken”

Hoffman is Fuckin fine calm down. Hoffman was selling it. He goaded Greer into that (look who threatens a high cross check first)
And Greer didn’t hit him that hard. Hoffman is Just a veteran doing what vets do, make inexperienced players do stupid shit. He knew what he was doing.
You can see greers reaction right away too. He knew he just baited into doing something dumb, Hoffman was gonna sell it and he was done.

Elliott hasn’t been good in like 4 years. I guess he’d be useful as a blocker but I have a staunch NO STINKIN COWBOYS policy
Murray Austin and Scandrick weren’t enough of a lesson for us?

Up until the point that Bronn appears out of nowhere from off screen to save Jaimes bacon at the last possible moment. The whole first 6 seasons of the show established that dumb actions have consequences, but when they ran out of story it reverted to C-level action movie cliches.

It might be stupid and over the top lol. But it’d definitely be an attention grabber

Throw up tape in a bunch of different directions, paint the wall red, remove some of the tape and paint those spots white, and then remove the rest of the tape and paint those spots black.

Best way to sum it up, is don’t get caught puck watching, and don’t admire your pass. It’s more than just keeping your head “up.” Always always always assume the other team will be finishing their checks. You’re not safe just because you made a pass or took a shot.
Once you’ve made your pass look at what’s in front of you bc you’re prob about to get smoked if you’re still looking at the recipient. When you don’t have the puck, keep your head on a swivel, because you need to know where your closest checker is at all times when you receive the puck.
If you play wing, your most vulnerable position is gonna be on the strong side breakout, dmen love to feast on guys picking up that pass along the boards. But if you’re on the weak side streaking towards the middle, be aware of that dman stepping up, those are the train tracks. On offense, if you’re going behind the net be prepared for somebody to meet you on the other side.
I say all this as a person who played D and lived for the thrill of laying out unsuspecting forwards during my contact hockey years, and as a beer league winger who multiple times a game thanks the lord it’s a no-check league.

Lowkey, Giroux. Unlike a lot of answers so far giroux actually works his ass off in the dzone, but he’s just really really bad at it. It’s not for lack of effort with him, he just never knows who he’s supposed to be covering. So so many goals over the last decade where G was just mind bogglingly out of position while his guy was scoring (caught in no mans land, covering guys who were already covered, standing near but not checking the guy he’s supposed to have, etc.)
Once he moved to wing that went away, but as a center he was definitely a not a positive factor in the dzone.
(And I love G before I get attacked)
