Ha! Still on the gulls still cant skate backwards. I thought id be the worst skater but sesh some people can barely skate forward. Cant wait first time ever playing glad someone from here will be on the team though.
Ha! Don't take it personally I was just generally speaking. From what I saw most of the skaters were fine. There was one girl in particular, she looked like she was about 12, very short, nice enough I'm sure but seriously she could barely move on skates. Unless she was completely and totally sandbagging it, she's not going to have any fun at all. It's bad enough when you're the same size as a 5th grader trying to play against adults, but throw in the fact that she has zero skating ability, and it's just going to be ugly. Trust me by no means am I Datsyuk out there, there are going to be at least a couple of guys who should be playing copper if not bronze skating circles around everyone else, but for the most part we're all on the same level.

The girl in the yellow jersey right? Her friend that was with her was ok as well but still pretty rough. I did think to myself i dont think theyre gonna have much fun with this. Hopefully the ice is better last week it was bad when we first got on just water everywhere.

Yup, yellow jersey.
And ice at Anaheim is 10x better than at Lakewood, although I haven't skated there in quite a while. Is Rink C still "under construction"? :rofl:

I'm willing to put money on it that it is under some form of construction! I haven't been back there since I pulled myself from that game where the ass-wipe on my own team plugged me in the neck during warm-ups, that was maybe 5 weeks ago or so?

Took a loss first game. 5-2 it was back and fourth untill 3rd when they pulled away. It was fun of course unstructured a bit since it was first game. Ended up playing RW with [MENTION=19179]Peggy_GKG[/MENTION] 2 lines so we had some good ice time. We have our 2nd game tonight at 1035 and i gotta be up for work at 4

We've started off a very strong 2-0-0. I'm expecting our team to get nerfed if we continue like this. We got totally destroyed last season (28GF, 78GA), so the league added a good scorer to our team and dropped us one or two of the more skilled newcomers. Combine that with our two most inexperienced skaters taking a break this season, and in two games, we've tallied 44% of our point total and 60% of our goals scored compared to the previous season.
Well now that I'm in my new digs I've sent off a note to Hockey North America who runs the leagues here in Chicago. Their website is complete crap for trying to contact anyone about finding a team. Also kinda looks like I won't be able to play at the rink next door since I assume Tier 1 is the good guys.

yeah I think some of those guys have played together before, but rookie as a general rule is unstructured plus throw in that we're a new team. The other team has at least one dude who also plays Copper and their goalie was in the zone. I whiffed on a couple of really solid scoring chances, kind of beat myself up about that.
Tonight's game STARTS at 10:35 pm I guess the schedulers at Anaheim have a great sense of humor.

aye you got 2 assists lol so its all good. You could tell by the skating and shots from some of those guys they arent what id consider rookies. Hopefully we have a better game today.
wish I lived closer to Anaheim so I could help out [MENTION=18780]xLAxKingsx[/MENTION] and [MENTION=19179]Peggy_GKG[/MENTION] s team. My "rookie" league is pretty tough. It's 4 on 4, and we usually have only 4 Dmen or fewer, so I have been playing Drew Doughty type minutes, and I am too old to play DD type minutes. Looks like we are going to make the playoffs, despite a rocky season. Last regular season game is tomorrow night.
But mostly I came in here to show off my spectacular bruises that I got ON THE SAME SHIFT last week. Both off shots from the point. (the white lines are my stretch marks - apparently stretch marks don't bruise)

Holy ****! I drive from DTLA to anahiem so my travel kinda sucks! It would be great if you sandbagged and play for us lol we rolled game 1 with 3 D i believe.

I don't even know how I got those, refs were being very generous with handing out the A's! Usually they only give out a primary. There's a couple guys tonight we'll need to keep our heads on a swivel for.
Also, if it's any consolation, I have to be on the road tomorrow at 5:00 am for a meeting up near Palmdale. Gonna be a long day...

Swivel as in they are asses. Well one of them is good too, should easily be in copper. It's a father-son duo, real pieces of work. Dad racked up 26 PIM IN ROOKIE, good penalties too, tripping, roughing, etc. I don't know if the guy that got the misconduct will be playing or not (I'd assume yes).
