Reminiscing on the days of yore...

Man you guys are SOLID hockey dudes!

I remember one grueling soccer match in my adult league, where a particularly tall opponent (he was probably at least 5'7" if not taller) looked at me sort of sternly. So I dove to the ground, writhing around holding my ankle in tremendous pain.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that the ref wasn't looking so I gave it my best Jamie Lee Curtis blood-curdling scream to get his attention. Sure enough, the ref blows the whistle and comes running over and asked if I was okay. I placed my hand over my face to really emphasize my pain, and then pointed at the tall guy and whimpered, " ... that ... bastard". The ref went over to the AR (sideline ref), they shrugged their shoulders and called the foul.

So I hopped right up, told my boys I was taking the kick, and smashed it upper ninety to seal the game.

And this is why I don't like soccer.

This is such a perfect description of soccer right up until the part where you actually put the ball in the net.

I KNOW!!! The ref TOTALLY should have made that call without the need to consult the AR!!! THANK YOU!!!

scott stevens is a man. yes, he’s retired but it doesn’t leave you.

had the pleasure of skating with bob berg and travis clayton.. both had good wheels.. neither were very intimidating, but not worth messing with either.

you need some help with rob weingartner? naah homie, you’ll have to do this one alone or find someone else.

Gotta give a shout out to Bruce "Rammer" Ramsay and his jackhammer fists. Not to mention his backwards dipsy doo shoot-out move.

Speaking of coaches that could fight, remember Derek Laxdal going to town on Shreveport's coach during a postgame line brawl in the playoffs?

ulner nerve decompression surgery ended my hockey “career” but i sure miss those days. i’ll tell ya cold that an ass beating is one thing, but buying the beer afterward for the fight winner was icing on the cake. contrary to what many on here would believe, we were all friends but disagreed at a moment in time. the best was when i changed teams and got into a bench clearer with my old squad.. . pulling the jersey over my replacement’s head and giving him haymakers for shooting ice into my goalie’s face-mask was very rewarding. the trip by my old team’s bench rubbing my hands together like it was just another day probably wasn't a great idea. ended up on the bottom of a dog pile, resulting in nerve damage in my arm.


would i do it again? you're g-d right.
did i drink more beer than i bought? it was about 50/50

the trip by my old team’s bench rubbing my hands together like it was just another day probably wasn't a great idea

That'll get you in a world of **** in a hurry. Great job!

Bryan Wells was the crazy mofo player/coach of all time.

Like I am going to tell you a story about the 99 times this happened before my glorious moment, where I didn't make it?!

This ain't a damn Dr. Phil thread!!!

Canada, actually. Saskatoon or something.
