Fuck you I do that too
Neogaf would have destroyed itself if the Leafs were still playing. Just sayin'.

It's pretty classless, just one last attention grab by him. He's our Brett Favre it seems.
No doubt. Good thing we don't have to worry about the Leafs in the playoffs any time soon. At least, not as long as Gustavsson and Reimer are between the pipes.
The biggest thread on Neogaf in the last 40 years.

You mean that the finals interrupted Lidstrom's retirement right?
Wanted to stick it to the Devils, no doubt. Or maybe he did them a favour by taking the media pressure off NJ!
Am I the only right handed person that shoots right handed?
:lol Ok.....

Well, I'm ambidextrous, I just favor my right side when it comes to sports. I think the righties that shoot right-handed and vice-versa do it because it allows for your dominant hand to be on the stick when you're reaching, etc.
Just feels more natural that way.
I was actually surprised by the amount of agreement with myself I'm getting here, I always thought most right-handed people shot right lol. At least that's how it always is in real life around me... For me it's coming from tennis, I was more used to holding the stick on my left hand, since you really only double-hand your backhand in tennis.
Also lol@lidstrom comment.

Most people are right-handed and shoot/swing/golf 'right-handed'.
Some people are right-handed and shoot/swing/golf 'left-handed'.
Even fewer are left-handed and... I don't know if that would have any effect on how they shoot/swing/golf.

I wish I was ambidextrous with my feet. That would be awesome.
Playing hockey would help with that. But instead....you chose soccer.

Hockey helped, but I never had an issue with it. It just sorta "translated" to my feet when teaching myself to be ambidextrous.
I kinda got burnt out from the Habs disaster of a season by February and basically only posted intermittently. So there's a good 100 posts gone :lol
I'll be all rested up and ready to go for October though.
Listen to this clusterfuck. Solo:
- swings left (tennis)
- swings right (baseball)
- shoots left (hockey)
- shoots right (basketball)
- golfs left (golf, duh)
- throws right (baseball, football)
- writes left

-Right in tennis, but don't really play
-Switch hitter in baseball
-Lefty in hockey
-Can shoot either in basketball
-Golfs right, but lolgolf
-Can throw either
-Can write either
Bam. And also what the fuck, Solo.
What the fuck?
What really doesn't make any sense to me there is that you swing right for baseball. The rest I can kind of understand.
- swings right (tennis)
- swings left (baseball)
- shoots left (hockey)
- shoots right (basketball)
- golfs left (golf)
- throws right (baseball, football)
- writes right

I think the term Solo is looking for is ambidextrous. Maybe slightly, but it seems you at least somewhat are.
Solo.
No, ambidextrous would mean I could do most of these things both left and right. I can't. When I throw with my left, I throw like a girl. Swinging a baseball bat left feels fucking awkward as shit. Etc.
Don't worry, all my friends think its fucking weird too :lol

Weird. It never felt unnatural to me when I started consciously trying to learn stuff the other way. I'd suggest it. Not too difficult and is very useful.
Solo is clearly a product of some twisted form of social engineering. He should be swinging left for baseball.
Ambidexterity is useless, in my opinion, unless you injure one hand. Or if we're talking about kicking a soccer ball or swinging a baseball bat (adjusting to pitchers).

I suppose it would be useful. If some guy broke into my apartment and chopped off my right arm I could just laugh at him and tell him I can still write with my other hand!
I don't understand the writing and baseball, the rest makes sense.
-swing left (tennis, well, backhand is left if that's what you meant? Same for baseball)
-shoot left (hockey & floorball)
-shoot right (soccer, pool, handball)
-write right.
So basically, everything double handed I'm better on my left side (because of Tennis, which was my first sport), everything one-handed (or footed) I do right. Makes sense to me...
I thought he meant forehand. Otherwise I'm wrong. My backhand is left, my forehand is right.
I'll have to ask my parents what lab I was born in.
I was waiting for this comment, took too long.

I write/draw left handed. Everything else I do right handed, EVERYTHING!
Mine too. If his backhand is right in tennis, then that's also screwed up. Again, double-handed stuff left, one-handed stuff right. Only way to go.
Also, Clydefrog says he does everything left if that answers your question Red.
I like to keep things interesting and mix it up. It's important to have spontaneity in such a relationship.

That's the big thing.
Also writing. Used to be useful in school for essays. One hand gets cramped, write the rest with the other. Still IS useful, since my major is journalism. :lol
Doesn't it look like someone else took over midway through?
If I did this, the second half of my essays would be unreadable.

My essays are already unreadable with my right hand (and I'm right handed) Thank you for computers.
Heh, although he did say he wants an entertaining product on the ice, offensive minded, no sitting on the blue line defensive crap.
Kinda excited..

Nah. It slants the other way, but it's the same basic style of writing once you get used to it.

This is what my writing looks like if I try to write left handed:
literally has a simpsons pic for everything
Don't know if this was posted, but there's a video of a Slovenian watch party from the game last night: http://24ur.com/sport/hokej/video-v-hrusici-se-je-danilo-ko-je-zabil-kopi.html
Makes me feel awesome to know that a former Soviet block nation a world away is as invested in my team as I am.
