Goalie Pet Peeves

[dsegundo]

Hate 'em. esp. because theytry that between the legs crap and it's so dumb, then they think that they're awesome when you let them score because it really is pathetic.

btw: My favorite was when one was doing that on a breakway. I blasted him...

The Dman who stops skating because the opponent got away from him. hey, moron, you can always come in to prevent any rebound shots.

Another Pet Peeve of mine...

When an 'A' League player plays in a 'C' or 'D' League game and has to be Billy Badass and go coast to coast and score. The 'C' or 'D' team is pretty much standing still while this guy weaves around everybody. I just pray this guy doesn't go back to his girlfriend or probably boyfriend, for that matter, and say how awesome he played and how he had a hat trick.

Hey Frankee, how do you pronounce "lâches pas" ?
(I only speak Finnish, Aussie and English.)
I'm going to start a Seattle area trend.

The puck flip onto the back of the glove - can't do it.

Pet Peeve: guys who only play hard when the girlfriend comes to watch. What, all the other games don't count?

1.When My D-man is standing at the top of the crease all night.

2.Guy coming in on a Breakaway who lets the puck go and Smacks the shaft of my stick to lever the blade off the ice.

Getting hit in the nutz...and having it go in anyway.

I hate it when some scrub scores on what looks like an amazing shot, but actually it was because they messed up and the puck went nowhere near where they intended. Then they act like they meant to do that.

Puck flip: did it when I was a kid. Grew out of it. Now I just hand the puck to the ref.

My peeves:

1. Hot-shot players that always skate the puck in for a deke on point-shot drills in practice.

2. Hot-shot players that skate the puck in for a deke every time they have the puck.

3. Players that decide that once a drill is over, its open range shooting gallery on the goalie with his back turned.

4. Same as the guy before that gets peeved by the guy that just won the Stanley cup with his goal past you.

5. Players that take 3 or 4 rebound chances in practice drills when your focussing on the next shot.

6. Head hunters in the warmups.

7. Guys that take the "crash the net" strategy WAY too literally.

8. Guys that hack when you freeze the puck, then go crying to the refs when you go home with their ankles!

9. People that can see that you're not recovered from the previous shot, but decide to shoot anyway.

10. Players that say "stay in your net, goalie!" As if they know what they're talking about.


So yeah, I'm very irritable as a goalie!

I thought I was an angry guy.....

2) And this has to do with the goalies. And a lot of you do it. I can't stand whenever a goalie makes a glove save and then flips the puck up in the air and catches on the outside netting of the glove. Then flips it to the referee. Come on guys. This was popular in the 80's and early 90's. Nobody does this anymore and it certainly doesn't look cool, just dated.

My new thing, is to flip the puck up and catch it on the blade of my stick. It started off as an accident; meant to flip the puck up, so I could catch it on the back on the glove, but the puck came out of my glove way out and toward my stick, so I just held out my stick, and the puck landed flat on it and ref took it away. After that, I jsut kept doing that, to see if I could repeat it, and I could, without any real effort. Some refs seem impressed by it, other just glad I didn't throw it at them. Now, it is just what I do. I'll miss a few here and there, but usually it just lands right on the blade for me.

back to the thread - my peave is getting scored on. I'm not a real big fan of that.

I can do the puck flip thing, I just don't I always hold onto the puck or move towards the ref and let him take the puck out of my glove. You'd be surprised how many refs appreciate you not throwing the puck at them or not making them bend over to get the puck.

As for pet peeves, not many.

1) Warmups. Don't do them because despite talking to people they consider it target practice and have no idea how to warm up a goalie.

2) Players that play a level or two down just so they can score and look better than playing against players of their own calibre.

3) Players (term used loosely) who have been skating for 2 or 3 years and have not increased their skill level or hockey knowledge.

4) Players that pay to be on a team, fill up a roster and then don't show up for almost the enitre season leaving the ones that do show up frustrated by getting beat all the time for not having enough players.

5) People that just make excuses and blame everyone else for why they didn't do something or why the team lost, etc. When I screw up, I own up to it. When you screw up, don't blame me.

6) Kids who use one piece sticks. What a waste of money. The majority of them don't have the strength or talent to use those sticks and could get the exact same results froma wooden stick at a 1/4 of the cost. Maybe that peeve should be about the parents that actually buy them those sticks.

Pet Peeves...

1) Warmup. Players taking slapshots from 5 feet out. I don't even bother going down. Players going for the top corner from 5 feet out when I haven't received any shots. In pickup, when they want to start the game as soon as possible and don't give me an adequate warmup.

2) In the game. There's a shot on net and all your defence are swinging at the puck to knock it down when you just told them not to do that. Really irritating when it is deflected and goes in. Don't bother apologizing.

3) Change room. First one there, last one to leave. Why can't we design goalie pads that we can velcro to our long underwear so it's quicker to get them on and off?
