HOWDY

Hello and welcome to anyone actually reading this! No one?

Went to flr hcky yesterday, no mascots, new teams, blah blah blah, I ws bored and tired, blah.

SO as a goalie on my new team I decided to enjoy myself, and instead of following time-tested ball-saving techniques, I came up with my own method. On the left below is the traditional way. On the right is mine.



So I ended up letting in two goals right away not caring (or that's the story I'm going with) and then I figured what the hell and started running straight at people. A bunch of time it would be a 2-person breakaway with this guy who could shoot well and a girl who he'd try to center it to. I'd just stand up and run at him. Straight at him. I dove for the puck, whacked it with my stick, and "made the save". Kind-of. I completely eliminated the need for natural talent at the goalie position. We left the game losing 2-1, I had all these wood burns on my arms (wood burn is like rug burn or trampoline burn but on wood), but it was amazing and I had a great time and I'll never do it again because it was so stupid.
