Goalie Pet Peeves

[spidergoalie]

Hmmmm bad warm ups seem pretty common.
I too hate...
shooting pucks when I'm scratching my crease, or even when I am putting the net on it's pegs.

Two or more guys shooting at once, or imediately after another guy shoots.

Guys who think the first warm up shot should be a deke

Head hunters in warm up.

Here is one some may not share....if I lose my stick, I'm totally ok with it, and it really bugs me when a D takes himself out of the play by retreiving my stick, and then getting in my way just standing there holding out my stick...I may not have time to look away to grab the stick,(plus thay inevitably hand it to me in a manner that I have to turn the stick around in order to use it) and I'd much rather he just do his job.

Guys who act like they are going to block a shot and then flamingo.

Anyone trying to knock the puck down with their stick.

D coming out from behind the net, who pass it up the middle, no matter how many times they give it away, or how loud I yell "up the boards" or "Go outside" which eventually becomes "Not up the middle!!!........that would be up the middle "

I hate a D man coming up to me and saying "keep us in it"

As for the stanley cup celebration...there is a guy I play pick up against who is really bad for that...so the last time he scored on me and let out a loud "YEAH!!!!" I just started laughing..not trying to get into his head, it was just too funny that it meant sooo much to the guy...then my D started laughing...then his team mates started laughing....now everyone in the rink is laughing except mr superstar. In a way I don't mind just because it is kind of cool that he is that intense and loves the game that much. If I thought he was doing it to get to me I would feel differently, but seeing a grown man respond like a kid scoring his first goal EVER is sort of....quaint

I Remembered My A #1 Pet Peeve of all time tonight at the Wild game.

Breakout passes that do not have enough mustard on em to clear the zone..... Even if noone touches em.
I HATE that!

OK goalies, I want to hear what your best pet peeves are related to hockey. We all have 'em. I have about a 100 of them but here's 2.

1) Whenever a player scores on you and then celebrates like he just scored a game 7 Stanley Cup overtime winning goal. They will proceed with a glass breaking "YEAH!!". I tend to just stare at them with a bewildered look on my face until they are done with their idiocy. This pet peeve is even worse when you are up like 9-1. I just want to say, "Scoreboard."

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.

How about if it was the first goal of the game in a playoff game?

[dsegundo]

Man we're a bunch of ornery bastards....

I've got more:

1. When the puck is going wide but your defensemen takes the puck in the chest and deflects it in the net PERFECTLY..

2. When you're in the paddle down on one side and the opposing forward is too much of a pansy to pick his foot up OVER your stickand falls down, whining like a little baby.

Hmmm........my biggest pet peeve:

When Bobby Big Wheels from the Ohio University Championship team comes out to play all hardcore, they come down into my zone, get in my crease, and what do they do??? THEY DO THE F*ING ROLLERBLADE STOP!!!!!! Its when they lift up the toe of their skate and carve a rut that is like 2" wide and 1.5" deep right in the middle of the crease. Then, to make matters worse, a big play comes and I slip out and get scored on, all thanks to the stupid rut in the ice!!!!! I could blow out my knee. How did this moron get on the University Championship Team????!!!!!!

Also, I hate it when the same player, in warmups, takes his first few shots at my neck. Now that it happens on a regular basis, I am beginning to wonder...........

Or, when the goalie of the University team (out as a player) thinks hes a big shot because he can dent my cage in warmups too. The idiot should know how pricey the bastards are!!

Anybody have any new pet peeves?

I got one.

Players who come and tell you "nice save" after a play.

Most times the guys are being sincere. But a lot of times you get the guy who thinks he's hot $hit. The guy that's been schooling your team all game. What am I supposed to say back to him? "I know. How the hell did I ever save that? I mean, you're so awesome and all. Must have been luck on my part." I mean, really, do you ever see any pros do that? Not really. Do you see me telling him, "nice goal" whenever he scores on me? So just play your game and I'll play mine.

Or you could just say, "Yeah, I know."

I hate people who talk to me during the game, "I dont mind during the intermission but it just pisses me off when im concentrating and all I hear is "GOALIE, GOALIE KEPP US IN THE LEAD OK???" and I hate people who go full out in warmup it just pushes my buttons.

[Vaughngoalie3]

my pet peeve is the aforementioned "huge celebration" after a goal. especially in practice. it pisses me off because half teh time im not even trying to save teh shot. im just woprking on my positioning and stuff i dont get to do in a game.

i think when a kid on the other team says nice save after you make one it shows respect. ive had goalie tell me good game between periods when im getting 60 + shots and only letting in 2-3 goals. i dont mind it at all

i hate when i make a breakaway save and then the kid puts in the rebound.

I also hate it when my defensemen tries to block a shot and then ends up putting it in on me.
the thing i hate the most is the " if i score you suck if i get stuffed youre lucky" mentality that most forwards have

[Bones343]

When you make a save and the puck is in front of you, ou go to cover it, and your defenseman pokes the puck away from you and either into the net, or away so the other team taps it in.

When the coaches son decides to pass it to the other team, then go for a line change giving him a breakaway, or just skates away.

When you tell someone something that you know could be helpful and they say "Just save the puck, pss"

When there is like 2 minutes left and you are winning something to nothing, and someone says, "blablabla shutout blablabla" and then they score and you lose the shutout.

When you are yelled at to get back in the net as if you don't already know that. (Generally I get this more in lacrosse than hockey)

When you have a ****ty game where you know you did awful and possibly even were the reason for losing the game and they say "Good game".

This one has bugged me lately, too. I usually hear when I make a glove save, something like, "Man, nice save, how the hell did you get that?"

I generally shrug my shoulders and say, "I don't know, it's all luck. I never even moved my glove -- you just shot it in there."

[vanbeezer]

#1 peeve:

When in the locker room and everybody seems like it is their duty to slash you one right in the front of your BRAND NEW pads, like it is good luck or something.

[Crazee]

Poor sportsmanship from the other team while getting slaughtered on the scoreboard. Had to fill in this one game with no subs, the other team wouldn't spare a player or 2, nor would they let up. They even pulled off this ridiculous dump play that led to a 3 on 0 break late in the third period. No chance for me! And before that, they stopped keeping score after 9-1.

haha. thats demoralizing. just be like " yeah i dont know how you didnt score. what are you, blind?" its fun to **** off forwards. especially when theyre on the other team

[rtolen]

1. Players that say anything to you during the game (yours or theirs).

STFU man I'm concentrating

2. Deep rut in the middle of your crease that the Zam' can't fix that causes you to trip when you shuffle making a bad goal look even worse.

3. You know the shooter is going there and you anticipate the shot. But he still scores.......

4. Your own Dman spearing you as he moves around in the crease... MORON !

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!

Holy, most of them i agree with too, especilly (sp) the stay in your net part
