That sucks, but his orb is nothing like the original Jofa that I fell in love with in the 80's.

True but its awesome that someone is still rocking a JOFA in 2012.
I would if I had one. I just have some shitty Bauer one. Its dumb as shit looking but I haven't gotten another concussion since I bought it so its not all bad.
Not so much where I live now (takes me like an hour to get to the nearest rink) but when I lived in Boston and Milwaukee there were tons of mens leagues. Boston sucked because I was deemed too "good" (this basically just meant I could skate and was under 30) to play in the shit leagues and was forced to play in the good leagues. The thing that sucks is that the good leagues in Boston are generally former fucking BU and BC guys, some AHL'ers and even some junior players who were home for the holidays. I felt like a retard every Tuesday night!
It was way better in Milwaukee since it was mostly just guys like me who topped out at high school hockey or low juniors and were looking to keep skating.
It's fucking bleak in southern Indiana. I coach my wifes nephew a bit but the rink he skates at has no mens leagues this winter. They apparently did a few years ago but it died.
Reading some of these posts...doesn't ANYONE watch hockey? I figured there would be some learning curve just getting used to the controls for the game but wow, it's like some of you have never even seen a hockey game before, lol. I'm in Vegas this weekend but I will be joining y'all next week to be the garbageman in front of the net.
I think listening to Smokey ask hockey questions was one of the most enjoyable experiences of playing this so far!
"yo what da fuck is icing?!"

Indeed. My cheeks were hurting from laughing and smiling so much.
lol no
are the beezer and pavel bure still playing on the panthers?
Guess being in Texas skews my view a bit, but that's interesting.
No.
I'm in Texas bruh football football basketball
Everybody thinks it I just ask it! I'm glad it's all a big joke yall should see the stuff I ask pheeniks on AIM . He's been cool with not straight up loling at me tho
I would say it's probably somebody asking "Why do they keep calling for the ball to go the other way" when somebody just stands in the paint and doesn't move in basketball
Neither of these guys has been on the Panthers in over a decade. :lol
Vanbiesbrouck is dead and has been reincarnated as Braden Holtby, and will replicate his feat in 1996 by bringing Lord Stanley's Cup to the Capitals this season. So he's still in the same division at least!
This is probably how I felt when my friend asked me in 2006 "Wait...Shaq is on the Heat???"
ah ok so it's not that much of a durr question then!
I am not aloneeeeeeeee
lol
i picked up offsides pretty quickly. Now I'm trying to move on to understanding strategy because I HAVE NO CLUE. None.
I didn't know what icing was either, I skated around the puck like three times thinking if I touched it I was gonna be called for a penalty
I was playing as a center in the be a pro mode, how are you suppose to know where you're suppose to play on the field? I was just wandering around trying to hit people, I don't think that's right

You need to guard the front area of the net and occupy the middle of the ice and kinda help facilitate everything
Don't wander around trying to hit people cause that's what will mess with this team and has been for the first few nights, people who leave their area to puck/hit chase just leaves others on their team wide open and good teams will exploit the shit out of that
U NEED MOAR DIAGRAMS
It's just hard because offsides to me means something completely different, since it's used in fooball as well. It also makes more sense in football but then again I'm just more familiar with that sport.
Basically people gotta learn that standing around/alone isn't necessarily a bad thing---as you saw a lot of times last night I was camped by the left boards/their defenseman and when the puck got loose or someone on our team had it, I was very wide open and got us into the offensive zone faster
You generally want to try to choke away all their possible passing lanes, if they have 1 guy who beats another one, then so beat it, but let's not have him beat 3
Yeah offsides in SOCCER is totally different but in hockey the blue line/offensive zone is their version

I grew up an NHL fan, but my interest slowly started to fade and was eventually killed by the last strike/lockout. I haven't been back as a fan, even casually, since then. So I know pretty much all the rules (certainly icing and offsides, lol) but it's a little rusty at the moment.
I'm pretty much stealing this from the other club's OP. thanks Marv! It may say nhl 11 or 12 but it's the same deal

Well get ready for another lockout on Sat night. NHL 13 will be the only hockey you'll see until next year.
fuck the Rags
So we're not allowed to watch AHL, NCAA, or USHL games?
True. Minor league hockey is far more watchable than other sports' minor leagues (AA/AAA baseball, NBA D league, Major League Soccer, college football, etc).
ok 50 messages just got deleted lol
I think a bunch of you wing players should think about what "hand" your player is using, I usually preferred to have left-handed right wingers and right handed left wingers.
Reason being, when those positions move laterally across the crease, they are firing with their forehands, makes setting up for onetimers easier and if you made a big, imposing, John LeClair style winger, you can camp the net a bit and take those rebounds on your forehand.
