What channel is this on?

We get our butts handed to us when we play the Sharks, the Kings, and the Ducks. This is where I highly doubt that we're in contention for a Cup. G'd forbid we win that stupid President's Trophy; that was the beginning of the end of Quenneville in St. Louis.

I guess it could be the smog...

Update:

Ankle stings a little, but movement isn't terribly compromised. By no means it feels great, but definitely an improvement over yesterday.

I am a very lucky man.

Bunny, surprisingly you look more like Lord Vader there than a "bunnyman"!   (much less Princess Leia!  Yah, the wig really wouldn't suit you!)

lol That was my "slap shot in the ankle" grimace.

I'm rooting for him, despite the weird, weird sh** he has gone through.

In my game of shinny today, I played defence. Well, many danglers would easily move around me. Well, I end up blocking a shot. I took it in the ankle in that nether region between shin pad and the skate. Needless to say I screamed like a wounded hound.

I kept it clean despite how I normally speak...

This message is approved!  ^_^ 

I still get a goofy giggle out of the crazed-looking mascot, Fin on your avatar.

Naw- just moved him off of me.

If it would have been the Hallmark Movie channel version (like their version of the Mr. Hockey story), he would have went down with a broken neck and blood gushing from his nose. I merely moved him from the top of my body.

We were behind the net. He was grabbing, clutching and slashing for the puck. He got up on my body, and darn the luck my elbow came up on his head.

I think a healthy respect is coming between us...

Of course I was tied up on the boards and hand passed the puck, as well. Guess I am a dirty player...

Reebok Tricot gloves will not stain. I will get the little freak tomorrow. Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!

Yes! And don't forget to say just before you check him hard, "Luke, I AM your father!"  ...Aka "Who's your Daddy, punk?!"    

I may see the real Stuarto Pidasso tomorrow and do this. Tan throwback gloves should add to the effect, yes?

Maybe Father X-Mas will get her a Blues sweater...

Here they are:

Definitely looks almost goldish. Still cool and a nice alternative to the "new" neutral (black/white).

Bunny...the dark evil side of me (deep Lord Vader breaths) says go ahead & wait for him in the parking lot & jump him  ....BUT, the good angelic side of me says....oh, wait....what was the question again??  

lol

wear a black helmet with a dark tinted visor when I go again? Bwahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

Or should I wear a Princess Leah wig and be nice?

lol

I was lucky I only ended up with minor abrasions on my thigh and light bruising. I am okay with incidentally blocking slapshots with my shin pads or even an errant puck to the head. I just don't like cheap shots.

@Rink Rat

I will definitely let him know, as I am back on both Wednesday and Thursday.

@bunnyman,

I voted other. If you are not a professional or playing competitively, then retaliation should be your last choice. I would let the other guy know that he cheap spotted you and you have to get up in the morning and go to work. An injury because of him playing cheap isn't cool.

I skate with the same group of guys 2-3 times a week. The guy who organizes our group won't stand for that kind of stuff.

This is where the wannabe NHL-er in all of us enters. I have to put that guy back deep within so he doesn't come out.

If he trips me again, there will be a stern conversation.

The way he laced the stick between my legs DEFINITELY said trip, by the way.

I changed my vote.somehow the idea that this was a pickup game didn't sink in through all 12 layers of gray matter. I think AFF had a very good answer

I definitely agree!

Bunny - it sounds like you've got yourself a little too worked up over nothing. Trips happen. It's not a spear to the groin or an elbow to the face. Let it go and enjoy the game. if the same guy does something again, lay him out with a nice check.

I am worked up because I kinda let him get away with it. I did cross-check him a few times, but nothing that left a mark.

I will exact my revenge!!!

@goalnut3133

Never fear- tHe one thing I think would have happened was his sweater would have tied up his arms. And of course 9/10 times nobody is wearing a fight strap. The fight strap actually is an advantage in keeping the sweater from immobilising the arms.

Tick the appropriate answer.

Wow ok so the past beat down he was your team mate????

 

And next time you'll make sure he's on the other side?????

 

Wow!!!! So are we sure the first trip wasn't an accident? Sucks to have to check the opposition and your teammates....that is a rough league there.

Not a teammate. But we are divided by dark and light sweaters. I will make certain he wears the opposite sweater as he was yesterday.

@flyercanuck

Yes, I skated after him. After I muttered "that's a trip!" I skated after him, gave him a few cross-checks. When he had the puck, I went full speed into him. next time I see him, I will make certain he wears the opposite sweater and I will make his life a living hell.

I guess the competitive spirt is back!

I got a stick between the legs which resulted in my face on the ice. I ran after him, cross-checked him a few times. I was ready to cross-check his head and pound the crap out of him. I did make certain to tie him up a few times and even cross check him on the wrists a couple of times...

I guess it's all starting to come back to me.

WTF? The Blues look like a high school team from a place that has never heard of hockey.

Maybe it's the water in San Jose...
