Some idiot used ArmorAll on his pads!!

*in my best Billy Madison voice*

UhahahahahaSHUTUP!!!!!!!

My two cents:

I hope the idiots that put crap like that on their pads all get serious groin injuries...

[loudog888]

Yes, but at the other end of that line of reasoning is the high probability that those who use the crease after the saboteurs will also sustain groin injuries. And it is even more likely that tragedy will befall the innocent, as they would be caught unawares.

The other goalie had Armor All on his pads last night!!!



In the second period, I was slipping out and sliding all over the damn crease and the ref (a friend of the goalie's) just shrugged it off. The second referee agreed that, like water on the court, a slick foreign substance could cause players to slip and cause injury.

I used to use armor all on my pads to play roller goalie, but I would make sure that it was done at least 2 or 3 days before I was supposed to play. This way the armor all would do its job, and let me slide a little better while not getting on the floor. I agree with you, the guy was an idiot if he did it like the day of or right before the game, which if it was on the floor seems to be the case. But the armor all does help, and if used correctly is not a hazard. And just remember if it was a pain for you to play on, it was just as hard for him.

Apparently the search function is working well!!

I played pickup against a guy with armorall on his pads. We switched sides for about 3 minutes. I was just recovering from a torn left MCL, and did not want to tear it again!! After 3 minutes, I skated to the other end and told him that he was heading back to the greasy crease, or I was leaving and he could do the rest of the pickup himself.

I had a long talk with the owner of the rink about it as well. I think it should be posted on the front door of the rink. "NOTHING STUPID ON YOUR GOALIE PADS!!"

whoa-ho-ho. This maybe the case, but the fact of the matter here is that if someone decides to armorall their own pads, he not only has to deal with the consequences, but so does every other goalie who plays on that rink that night.

This is really of no consolation when you consider that he is increasing the chance of serious injury for all of those other goalies.

Take smoking for example: you get lung cancer from being exposed to second hand smoke. Is it supposed to make you feel better if someone says "well, at least the guy actually smoking the cigarettes may have gotten lung cancer, too."

This is about goalie etiquette. There aren't that many of us out there. There aren't many people willing to be goalies. And I'm sure that everyone else on this board knows how hard the position is to play. Don't make their job any harder than it already is and be respectful of your fellow 'tenders.

"Nothing Stupid on your Goalie Pads" won't work. Anybody who is stupid enough to armorall their pads won't have the brain function to understand that it is meant for them.

You sit here and talk about goalie ettiquette...well these morons here talking about bashing someones head in, that is awesome etiquette. In my opinion, we are all about a brotherhood ( sisterhood for the female goalies) we are supposed to be here to help one another, not bash one another. I wasn't saying it was ok to put stuff on your pads, and endanger others, I was saying that if you use your brain, and do it right, armor all on your pads for roller hockey can be helpful. I have been on both ends here, I have played against goalies who armor alled there pads 10 minutes before game time, and I have armor alled my pads before ( at least 2 days prior to skating ) and the one time I played against the goalie who did his pads 10 minutes before, in between periods, I asked him about it, and he admitted that he heard to armomr all your pads, prior to playing, he was never informed of the risks, so I told him, we both went to the refs and for once they listened, stopped the game and made the other tender clean his crease before the game could resume. See in this instance I had to bash no ones head in and everyone was safe. I showed great goalie ettiquette and set an example hopefully all younger goalies will follow. We are all in the same position, lets help eachother in our lives, and beat eachother on the scoreboard where it counts

Try telling someone to be calm and rational after they tear a muscle after slipping in that crap. If the rest of us are going to get by using nothing on our pads, why should we be subjected to the idiots? There's a lot of smarter and better alternatives to armourall. The anger here is the lack of any leap in logic, if you put some slippery substance on your pads and they come into contact with the floor all game, it's not that hard to figure out the floor would end up the same way. And anyone at all who plays roller knows a slippery floor is one of the worst things to deal with in a game.

Anyone think of the dane cook theater joke?

[The Kid]

Why? Why? Why? Just learn to do without downard pushes or get some slide plates or velcro or the right damn pad like a senior pad or Miller Icebreakers or Battram Roller pads. Luckily, I've never really encountered anyone with any noticeable amount of armor all on their pads. I don't see what's so bad about the velcro though. I've spread it around to all have asked after I've picked it up from others I've played against and heard the praise for it here on the boards. OK so it picks up every piece of lint or loose string and gets dirty and can start to roll up and whatever rolls up gets dirty but it works and has no chances at hurting anyone and well it's pretty inexpensive too! If I didn't stock up on big rolls of 1" strips at flea markets and dollar stores I'd pick it up on ebay where it's even cheaper.

I like Roy Jr 33 use armour all on my inner sides of my pads to slide, and also I do this a few days before my game so that it drys to a point and leaves nothing on the surface. Also I don't do it for every game but maybe either 3 or 4 games. Also I use the wipes and not the spray.

[elite]

Why don't you try learning how to play goalie appropriately, instead?
