[/quote:3cdoc3y2]I am, at present, compiling a list of people that “need to get out more”.
To assist them with this, I will have them banned from Dunedin Ice Stadium.
For their own good of course.
[/quote:3cdoc3y2]In Hellyer’s case, “getting out more” would involve getting him [b:3cdoc3y2]into[/b:3cdoc3y2] the Dunedin Ice Stadium!

I’m new here but I think it’s safe to say that noone here who is giving him shit has ever, or will ever put up the numbers he is. You guy’s are judging him on just this season too? How about last season when he finished the 3rd in points for the league (he was the first NZ born player in scoring last year), or making the splash he did with the Ice Blacks at worlds this year in his rookie year.I can’t remember when NZ had a player of his caliber at his age (won’t turn 19 til after the season is over), so why the shit? We have a player here that could make some pretty impressive leagues overseas, but people won’t be able to see past his flaws.
Great to see tall poppy syndrome is alive and kicking.
Just my 2 cents.
[/quote:4fz1o2zb]Uhh, I might have missed something, but I don’t think people were giving him shit. In fact, almost every time his name has come up he’s been referred to as a “great player”. I’d hardly call that “giving him shit”.
Wow, that was a fun first game!
Laing gets put in the box for no apparent reason, but as a consolation prize gets to take out Li centre ice.
[b:34abvo2n]Sooo[/b:34abvo2n] good to be back in the game!

My disagreement isn’t so much to do with mixed contact, but that women aren’t allowed to play contact against each other. But then, that doesn’t really involve me at all so I don’t get up in arms about it.
[/quote:3fh81mz6]Yeah, that is the really bizarre bit.
"vpatrol":1jdmpo36 wrote:The critical purpose of a body check is to either gain the puck or disturb the progress of a player. Absolutely smashing someone is not required for those goals. Bumping a female off the puck accomplishes the exact same thing as smashing her. So why the need to smash? The big hits between two players usually takes both out of the play temporarily anyways. If a female signs up to play contact, I’m assuming she understands she will get hit. Nature of the hit should be tempered. Just like you wouldn’t hit a small player as hard as you would hit James vL
[/quote:1jdmpo36]Fair point, I don’t know enough about contact hockey to really have a good insight into how much men would be “pulling their punches”.
"vpatrol":29u2yztf wrote:If its cold, brown, bubbly and alcoholic, I think its ok. Back in Canada a company called Sleemans makes a real nice cream ale. It goes down a treat after a game.
[/quote:29u2yztf]See, ales should really be room temperature. The reason people cool ales is generally ’cause they don’t really like the taste of ales. Lagers should be served cold.
"Rhys M":1ot82z2m wrote:A few quiet ales were had
[/quote:1ot82z2m]I really don’t see ales as the sportsman’s drink. I feel like lagers are more appropriate for post-physical-activity drinking.
Thoughts?
"thirteen":2a691334 wrote:Another option is for the guys to know not to hit them hard
[/quote:2a691334]To me, that is the biggest argument against having mixed contact. It seems to me that having some players who you have to be careful about hitting would make for an unbalanced game. Women trade size and strength for (often) speed and maneuverability. If men are unable to use their physical advantage when hitting, then women, who have no comparable handicap, effectively gain an advantage because of their sex. That doesn’t seem to me to be a good idea.

Oh very funny, Mr Penguin man!
Any actual hockey players got any ideas, or is this a comedians forum?

I think with the Devils goalies there are certainly fewer opportunities for them to present that wow-factor that sticks in the people’s minds, probably because the devils goalies are solid players in a solid team – they’re another part of the machine, whereas I think it’s fair to say that the Thunder (for example) lean very heavily on their goalies.

[/quote:1s4xdt3q]So far as I can work out, your strategy is to use your avatar to cause the forwards to go into epileptic shock and therefore miss the net.
