PrintOk, so I have a new ice slot. I've already paid so everything is taken care of. We just need people to show up and pay. Same story as the last time. If you forget, just check the last FanPost. Who's in? Who's out? Please don't make me hunt people down. Goalies, hash it out in the comments. I don't really care just make sure there's at least two.
Saturday March 27 at 9:15 PM. KCI.

will be there after donating and drinking all day.. should be quite a show..
"the other day on sportscenter they said something along the lines of "the capitals score so much tiger woods is jealous" haha had me laughing hard while i was eating my cereal"
The jury seems out on whether or not it’s a bad idea to play the same day.
It’s probably not a good idea to drink, though. Can somebody with some kind of medical background please clarify on both topics?
My ability to post is only surpassed by my ability to pinch pennies.
Can I drink alcohol after giving blood?
Alcohol has two effects that may be problematic for donors. The first is that alcohol tends to dilate your blood vessels, and this can put you at increased risk for dizziness or fainting after your donation. Second, alcohol tends to dehydrate you, and after you donate, you need MORE fluid, not less! So, it is really a good idea to avoid alcoholic beverages for at least the first several hours after donation, preferably for at least 12 hours.
So wait an hour, during that hour drink a few pints of water, afterward don’t really have more than a beer an hour since you’ll be playing hockey, and I think everything will be cool.
I look to the future because that's where I'm going to spend the rest of my life.
beer has water in it.. we’re find jordan.. hahaha
jk.. no i plan to donate.. then find somewhere to just chill out for a few hours and get some food/water/etc until we meet up.. by the time we’re done playing it’ll be 12 hours!
"the other day on sportscenter they said something along the lines of "the capitals score so much tiger woods is jealous" haha had me laughing hard while i was eating my cereal"
I’ve played a few hours after giving blood and I was fine. I was a little more fatigued than usual, but nothing serious.

I’m still in for this unless you want a goalie from Stanley Cup of Chowder or Litter Box Cats to take my place.

I’m working on getting someone from Canes Country actually.
Killer_Carlson and Steckel Me Elmo are like brothers to me. And when I say brothers I don't mean like actual brothers. I mean it like how black people use it, which is more meaningful, I think.
Are all opposing teams' fans on the dark team?
I thought I got traded to White after the last pickup game. Coach? What gives?
And for clarification, there is nobody from CC playing. I’m not even close to on friendly enough terms with anyone from that site for that to happen. I’m playing dark team, Doc and any other pens fans are white.

You goalies willing to keep track of your save counts? I’d like to use this for the Jose Theodore charity pledge drive if you are.
Atta dinnin stick a who!
damn you might not be donating much then! hahahahahahaha burnnnnnnnn

Yeah, these guys really have a hard time putting the puck on net unless they’re on a breakaway.
I look to the future because that's where I'm going to spend the rest of my life.
Any stats that would make more sense? Goals come to mind. What was the score of the last one? I like the idea of a goalie stat since it’s for Theo, but maybe it’s better to go with something easier.

I think it’s pretty easy to estimate saves — highslot and I were just joking around. There were plenty of shots last time and plenty of saves in result of that. The goalies will probably take it more serious instead of goofing around since it means something too.

Man, I’ve had 5 goals the last two games for the inline team.. two in a 3-3 tie, and a hat trick in a 4-4 tie, including the GTG with 1.4s on the clock. Yet, somehow, I know I’m gonna botch it up again come Rink time. Stupid frictionless ice! =)

Silver Diner, I meant to say. City Diner is money, but farther away.

Silver Diner is in Clarendon (2 metro stops away, or about a mile-ish).

Yeah, it’s not an awful walk once you get past the metro bus yard, which looks like a warzone.

May as well metro from Ballston to Clarendon and take two seconds. Or spare your $1.25 or whatever it is and get some exercise.

What’s the schedule for the day? I want to invite a friend, but she’s all the way out in Lynchburg, so knowing where/when we watch the Caps prior to the pickup game would help a lot!

Hey, what’s the level like? I’m an aging (44) ex youth hockey player who never made it past Bantam. A few years of men’s league are also behind me, and the last pickup I went to everyone was much younger and faster than me. I had a good time, but it’s not as much fun being the slowest guy out there.
its a lot of mixed skill levels. Its more fun hanging with everyone and such before/after over a pint. Hockey is for Everyone.. or so im told a million times a day on NHLN.
"the other day on sportscenter they said something along the lines of "the capitals score so much tiger woods is jealous" haha had me laughing hard while i was eating my cereal"
We didn't keep score
So if you blow an assignment, nobody really cares. And really, after an hour most of us are so tired that you’ll be going the same speed anyways.
I haven’t played organized hockey for four years due to evening law school, and I have difficulties keeping up with the squirt-level kids I coach on weekends. You won’t feel out-classed, trust me.
Don’t worry about it. Just come out and play. You’ll get yellings from Whiter Mage just like the rest of us.

F&B can win that Selke.
It’s on my calendar. I’ll ask “David Backes” (Brad the Blues fan) if he’s in as well, unless you’re worried that too many will show up. This time, no stepping on non-rubberized portions of the locker room bathroom.
You can invite him. Doesn’t look like we’ll have more than last time really. I’m mostly concerned with making sure I get my money back this time.

Did you not get all you paid out last time?
My ability to post is only surpassed by my ability to pinch pennies.
I did, but there haven’t been as many responses to this one so I’m more worried about the numbers. Same for the attempted Feb. one. I don’t feel right trying to charge too much more than what we’re already paying, but I don’t want to get stuck with a tab either.

At a minimum, your share should be spread out and covered amongst the others, since you’re planning all of these. You shouldn’t have to pay a cent for ice time nor drinks on these days.
If money/attendance is going to be an issue, i would suggest moving to another facility where cost is less and maybe more people could attend. Not for this skate but in the future. If I wasn’t planning on Donating earlier in the day I think I would be playing my men’s league game at 4:40 in Laurel. But you all are fun and I don’t have to worry about some idiot trying to hack my shit up.
"the other day on sportscenter they said something along the lines of "the capitals score so much tiger woods is jealous" haha had me laughing hard while i was eating my cereal"
Well when we initially started this people knew that KCI was more expensive and still wanted to play there. If the cost is prohibitive for someone, then speak up. I think it’s just that we don’t have as many people who are pumped about the game, or people are out of town or injured or something.

Yeah, well I’d love to get free drinks and ice, but that’s not really practical with the numbers we are looking at. I’ll just settle for cleaning up in the post-game awards ceremony.

Nah. I would feel bad for throwing F&B off his Selke-winning game by beating him so badly. I don’t want him to look bad at his own pickup game.

I stopped playing ice hockey when I was 12. I played roller hockey for half a season at 16, and didn’t start skating again until a couple years ago a little before my 21st birthday.

Sounds like we were in similar situations. When you got back into it, did you take lessons or something? I know where I can take skating lessons, but I have no idea where to find a beginners adult league. Everything I’ve seen that is introductory is for kids.

I’m pretty sure Fairfax does an adult novice training class/league, but I think that’s pretty far away from where you live..
I just went to stick n’ shoot-type open sessions two or three times a week when I first decided to start playing again to re-learn stuff on my own. I got good enough to not embarrass myself in pickup games too bad after a few months (though conditioning was [and is] still an issue).

Check out HNA. The DC league plays games at Rockville, Wheaton and Cabin John and has a beginner’s school program where you have weekly lessons/practice time for a few months, then funnel into a D-level team.

I wouldn’t care normally but its my main team and the earlier game I spoke about skipping I am just a sub on.
I hope you guys can find someone to fill my spot and I can let some people know about this if you’re still short on numbers.

Apparenty, they expect to have a new rink completed by the end of September. They also scouted out all the rinks from the area and plan to use the best aspects of each one when building the new one.

I will have to do some community service from now until March 27th, and shoot for the King Clancy.

On the wrist, yes. No structural damage, but still some pain that should eventually go away. On the back, it seems like it’s getting better with stretching and ROM exercises, so we’ll see.
So basically, I’m cleared to play but will probably be very, very sore the next day.
So will the goalies, but for different reasons (lack of defense) and in different ways (emotionally).

OK, we are at 16 right now, not counting HighSlot and Buzz66. If you guys are playing, let me know. If people have a friend that might want to join, let me know. I want to get to 20 people so we aren’t paying more than $25 per. We have 2 goalies so no worries about that.

$25 isn’t bad considering how expensive ice is down here (which still boggles my mind).
Guess I better hop on the ol’ excersize bike after work. I’m winded just thinking about skating. Probably would be better if the PW Rink was structurally sound (as mentioned above).

Unfortunately, I have now been downgraded from definite to questionable. Apparently, I made plans for this Saturday that I completely forgot about. I am hoping to be back in time for the pick-up, but I honestly have no idea how long it is going to take.
I will try to keep everyone updated as I find out more.
Jerk. If J.P. had made me a mod I would ban you just for that. Kidding, sorta. Do what you can and come out to play.

Ok folks, what do we wan to do about meeting up? Are people interested in drinking before hand? I assume Laichitor and the other spectators will be interested in that (only way to make it an entertaining game for them). There isn’t a Caps game, but hockey will start around 7 and we should be able to get at least one TV devoted to a hockey game. I’m thinking 7 could be a good time to meet up. Game starts at 9:15 but we should start getting dressed around 8:30 because they’ll probably let us on the ice early like last time. 7 gives us 90 minutes to drink and socialize before the game. If people want to meet earlier or later, let it be known here. Let’s have some fun before the game, and then show Pensburgh and BSH who the boss is during the game. I assume people are going to stick around to drink after the game as well, no?

I’ll try to make it to by 7 as well. Is Bailey’s the joint? Not sure if Brad (Blues fan) is going to make it or not. He may have his hockey quota full after playing in the playoffs last weekend at Kettler, and think his Ashburn team has a game tomorrow night. I, on the other hand, only have to coach Saturday morning, so I’m good for it.
What’s this “Pensburgh and BSH” business? Are you really planning on sticking Pens and Flyers fans on the same bench? I see what you’re doing there. Coach Mage is going to keep the peace.

Just a little bulletin board reading
here’s a special knowledge drop
Caps fans are becoming Flyers fans, minus the criminal assault charges in the Men’s room and any actual semblance of hockey knowledge.
this was a keeper, too.
What a piss poor fanbase in Washington. I could fill the Cup with tears from Caps fans crying about calls. It was like they’ve all been reading A2Y for the past year, claiming Bettman paid Devorski to give the Pens calls. They just can’t get over last year.
but despite the dark and stormy clouds…
Utterly terrible fan base, save for most of the Japers’ crew, who incidentally, I’ll be playing in pick-up at Kettler on Saturday night. Decent guys that I feel pretty badly for, seeing the quality of their fanbase go straight down the Philly-style shitter.
…it’s nice to know the Rink still rocks.

If it’s that big of a deal that I vented on Pensblog about the bullsh*t I heard last night that reminded me of the yinzer jokers I hear in the Igloo and the Philly clowns, then fine. Put your fingers in your ears and believe that the wave of converted Skins fans can’t rival Pittsburgh and Philly fans on the douche-meter.
I called it like I saw and heard it, and what I heard was a disgrace to the Caps fans I used to know in Landover and in the MCI before Rocking the Red became all the rage. Same thing goes for new Pens fans that don’t know who Rico Fata and Konstantin Koltsov were and routinely job away at opposing fans/teams. The hatred for a team, without an appreciation for the game, was abhorrent. I wondered if anyone was as embarrassed as I am in Pittsburgh sometimes.
Haha. I’m obviously busting balls. If I didn’t want you playing you wouldn’t have played last time. And check the profile, I’m no Skins fan. Rip on them all you want.
I bitch plenty about VC fans whenever I go. You won’t catch me blindly sticking up for Caps fans.

I should’ve found you during intermission to relay some of the stuff I heard. My God, this old man sitting next to me reminded me of my now-deceased grandfather and how much I hated watching a football game with him. Everything was a penalty, and every time the Pens dumped it in it should’ve been icing. Ugh.
I wasn’t at the game so you would have had a pretty hard time tracking me down. Plus, I only have a brand new Alex Ovechkin jersey because I just became a fan.

Just spit my coffee out. Thanks for that one.
I only have a Crosby jersey because I didn’t know anyone else played hockey not only for the Pens, but hockey in general. Wait, does Ben Rapelisberger play hockey too? I’ll have to get his jersey.

Except the fact that he loves to get it on with underage college chicks. I’m not an NFL quarterback in the public eye, and hell, even I’m not stupid enough to swim in that pool. Unless the pool is filled with really hot college girls….
Well she was 20. That’s not underage. Did I miss something about a girl younger than 18?
And Big Ben is the exact reason I don’t get too hung up on the personalities of athletes. Sure, he comes of like a giant douche. I don’t want him to be my best man, I want him to win some god damn super bowls.

Driving under the influence of hockey since godknow's when.
I stand by my comments. I was shocked last night at what I heard. You should’ve quoted the actual quotes I heard from people, which I also posted but you apparently decided not to copy here:
A woman 3 rows behind me, while it was 2-1, says the following:
“Well, this game doesn’t mean anything to us, so they should start taking the suspensions now and injuring guys like Staal so that the Pens can’t beat us in the Playoffs.”
Before pointing fingers, friend, be consistent. After the bullshit I heard last night like this (and that’s just scraping the surface), I think I have every right to have such an opinion.
As I noted later on (and you conveniently chose not to quote),
By the way, apparently the Caps fanbase has its own version of yinzers—I’ll call them Skinzers (since most of them own Portis or Doug Williams jerseys).
To the uninitiated, “yinzers” are what we call the Steelers fans who only recently started following hockey and are an embarrassment to Pens fans. So no, I’m not calling the entire fan base of the Caps a joke. I’m calling “Skinzers”—especially those in Sec. 400 last night—an identical joke to the people I hear yelling “SHOOOOOOT” in the F Balcony in the Igloo.
Thanks for selectively trying to make me out to be a bad guy, right after grabbing an extra $20 from the ATM for Saves for Kids. I’d still like to play Saturday, since everyone I met last time were good natured guys who didn’t talk out of their asses. But if anyone’s panties are too bunched up about my take—which I didn’t troll on about here—then I’ll pass.
I’m sure I could dig up some choice comments about Pens’ fans from everyone here if I went back through Japers’, but it’s not worth the time. It’s expected that you’d get that off your chest here. Well, I vented to Pens fans. On Pensblog. Sorry I hurt anyone’s feelings.
I’ll say this, Skinzers is hysterical. And if I heard anyone arguing that anyone should try to hurt an opposing player I’d be pissed. Totally classless.
You’re obviously welcome to still play, but I am going to shut you down.

The Selke’s on the table. But Coach Mage has a gameplan, I’m sure.
Mine? After I borrow Crittendon’s piece to whack the Flyers fans that show up, I’m going to park it in front of the net, Ciccarelli-style. I may not skate that well, but my fat ass can still block a goalie’s vision.
Coach Mage? At best he’s a slight step up from Coach Bykov. You’re toast.
And feel free to bust on the Flyers fans, but they’ll be on your team.

Coach Mage has been studying game film of the last Rink Rat pickup. He’s noticed a flaw in your backchecking technique—apparently you can be distracted by shiny objects and large, exposed breasts. I’m considering hiring a stripper for the evening and having her press her assets against the glass. Problem is, I’d probably lose the puck myself, so it would cancel out.
Ha. That would definitely work. But I think Ms. F&B is coming to drink/watch so she probably would not approve.

Well Ben Rothenberg has always been cool with me. I’ve never met him but he’s always been hospitable when I go causing trouble on BSH. He’s the only PHI fan I think, but there might be one more. Plus he’s a goalie, so don’t forget he has more protection than you.

The last time I tried putting on a pair of skates, I hugged the rink all the way around. dinasaur can vouch for that, I’m pretty sure, but I can’t remember how old she was. Too bad, too, because many years ago, I managed to skate just fine. Nothing special, but confidently. I’m not as heavy as I was the last time I tried, so maybe I’ll give it another go at some point, but I kind of doubt it.

You were probably using rental skates, which would look Mike Green look like John Erskine.

Possibly, but not sure. I own a pair of ancient skates (they were hand-me-downs many years ago), which I might have still been using, but it might have been a spur of the moment decision to skate, requiring rentals. But trust me, it was all fear, not the skates.
Love the analogy though.

OR do it at another rink that isnt 500 bucks for the slot. I love kettler too but the cost is rough.
Glad everyone had fun last night.. and for the record.. I AINT NO SISSY!!
"the other day on sportscenter they said something along the lines of "the capitals score so much tiger woods is jealous" haha had me laughing hard while i was eating my cereal"
You can go back to look at the other rink ice slot costs I posted in the first FanPost but with the tax and the extra expense any of the half-way decent rinks aren’t much cheaper. We could go to a crap hole rink and save some money but if we are trying to do some drinking and hanging out before/after it really makes no sense to go anywhere but Kettler. We should easily be able to keep the cost at $25 and if we pick the right date when people are available, and other people don’t drop out last minute, we can get it down to almost $20. If people want to switch rinks then we should have that discussion before the next one, if we do another. I do know it would have been much suckier for Beta, Ovechwin, Kellowbellow, Laichitor, and the other ladies that came to watch and drink.

I absolutely love the location of Kettler but the cost is my issue. But I’ll fork over 20-25 bucks for pickup w/ you clowns any time.. (that I can make it)
After working all day yesterday and playing two games.. I’d have rather been there w/ you guys. Next time..
"the other day on sportscenter they said something along the lines of "the capitals score so much tiger woods is jealous" haha had me laughing hard while i was eating my cereal"
Well if people show it’s only 20-25. It depends on scheduling but we had 3 people drop out late or we would have hit 20 people even. Then we have UF who is in Argentina and if he’s in America he’s definitely in, plus a friend. Sct112 was out, but last time he was in, +1. Docciavelli has a friend that had to bail last minute as well. I see no reason we can’t get up to 25 people, which takes it down to $20 a person and that’s fine for me. You could pay $15 for a normal pick up at Kettler and then you’d be on a bench with 4 lines. $20 per person for just over 2 lines per team is pretty fair, I’d say. I also live 5 minutes from KCI so I love the location.

Thanks a lot to everyone who came out. Double thanks for making sure I didn’t get stuck holding a huge bill by myself. It was a great time and it was nice to meet some of the guys I hadn’t met, and nice to see the other people for a second or third time. Just a small word to the wise, if you’re going to talk about hitting on Mrs. F&B, you should probably do it out of her earshot.

We left the garage headed home and then said “fuck it, let’s go hang out” and went back in the mall. We went to Bailey’s and it was fuckwhoa packed, and they were charging cover, so we left. Didn’t have anybody’s number to text and figure out what was going on (email me a number for the future, somebody), so we were kinda screwed. We left again, which was probably for the best anyway considering Becky’s not feeling well-ness.
Tons of fun at the game, though! When’s the next one?

You didn’t look bad out there. Give it a bit more time, and you’ll be up to speed for a B2 league. I’m sure there’s a team that has an extra slot for someone who’s willing to turn in their check on time for league dues.

After the last couple games, I think we could put a Kettler B team together if we wanted. D’oh just needs to rein in the hitting. We love his enthusiasm for the game, but sometimes he just needs to pull back and not finish that check.

there actually were a few divots on the ice in bad spots Saturday night.

I think next game I’m going to bring a slightly shorter stick. Long sticks are great when you’re playing “D” in organized hockey, but suck for catching passes in your feet.
I also need to get back to the point where I’m not thinking while I do things and instead I’m just doing them. That only happened a couple of times during this game, and it never happened the game before. . .

Dude, I saw the Laura Stamm poster at Kettler and I’m seriously considering it.
You gotta remember, I only taught myself to skate at 21, then took lots of time off for multiple surgeries. All told I figure I’ve only played hockey for maybe 5 or 6 years/seasons. I need all the help I can get.

I think I remember her. She’s the super shorty with legs the size of Chun-Li’s?

I don’t mean she wasn’t demanding, though. She was super condescending and she had to one-up everyone who was on the ice with her. I think i was 16 the last time I had her, and I didn’t give her any shit, but she was still just a complete bitch. I dreaded those practices.
But I also never saw her handle adults, so I wouldn’t know what to expect if I were to work with her, now.

I spent a week in Prague. We went to a corner store to get beer but they were all individual beers, no six pack or 12 pack for carrying. We had to buy 2 milk crates to carry the beer and the milk crates were more expensive than the beer. And it was good beer, too.

I’d go back to Vegas in a heartbeat! I’m so tempted to just do it. Sign up for the Nevada bar and go. Tough call though.

It’s not necessarily that with me, just the general scene seems way too crazy for me. Also I like seasons.

Ha. I used to hear that seasons stuff but after living in Central NY for 4 years and then living in Vegas for 1… seasons are overrated. I like good weather.

I’m not sure how to take it so I’ll take it as a compliment. I didn’t see many pictures of me and none of them were me crumpled against the end-boards so that was nice.

They asked if 5 Major Junior players is too many. We may be in over our heads. Good thing the travel will prevent it from happening. Now we can just talk shit and look tough!

I’ll be a fighter for one game against PPP if it means not having to play more than 8 shifts. Just point me to the smallest guy with the most skill. If I can catch him…

Oh man, i’m totally going to say that I’m going to gear up and get in shape for this game, but I’m going to do nothing for the next 6 months and show up to the game horribly overweight and throw up, again!

DP about to throw up.
Me gathering speed.

Usually you do this in your defensive zone. I’m a pioneer, though.

Wow, I had no idea that strap was hanging down from my mask the entire time.
Any idea how many shots there were? Felt like about three thousand.

Anyway to put names to faces here?
Probably would help for next time. Everyone knows that I’m in the yellow, F&B is maroon Colgate (Cornell? Whoops…), and Jordan is in the black/purple Kings. Rothenberg was the White Goalie, and Winterion had the Green GMU jersey, IIRC.

Thanks for having the old slow guy out there. I had a blast, and you all are a good measuring stick for my learning to play. I still suck, but I sucked less than January.
You were about 1000 times better than the first game.
I look to the future because that's where I'm going to spend the rest of my life.
I think a bunch of people got much better, I think Winterion actually scored on a breakaway this time :)
