You should really try to see this game in person. It's totally different when you see the entire playing area. It is just too hard to keep track with the camera all that is going on.
 
My son is a goalie, been playing since he was 13 or 14. He's 29 now and plays in a adult semi-pro league. He's faced teams that have Providence Bruins members on the roster. Out of 28 teams he's ranked #3 (ironic isn't it?) and has been asked to be on the practice squad for the P Bruins.

Still got all his teefs too!

Yeah, I'm proud.

Now if I could only get him to cut the grass,,,,

Oh, that was a great game.:beerbang:

After watching that game so intensely I have to say I have the most respect for the goalie! Unlike football where the QB is important, he is not the only factor winning or losing the game. The goalie, yes even the US goalie today who I have great respect for since he was getting hammered every step of the way, is the heart of the team. I would be proud too SST.
Um what is a teef?
 
Teefs is like tofuses,,IOW yer pearly whites:D<these are teefs
 
I thought it was bad when he started playing street hockey, they use a ball, and the gear was costly. The progression to ice gear was extremely costly. Skates are cheap, a couple of hundred. Just his helmet, face guard and throat guard were $800. Leg pads, gloves, blocker, groin protection (in case he decides to have kids) and all the other stuff he needs adds up to about 3500/4000 worth of gear. And it takes a beating and has to be constantly repaired/replaced.
All to win a $5 dollar trophy and a free meal at the banquet. Almost as bad as money spent on a race car.
Oh, I forgot the ACL surgery, the broken wrist (he kept playing) a couple of concussions requiring trips to the hospital and the bruises that look like he was hit by a freight train which he has constantly.
But he truly loves it. :rolleyes:

I case you want to hear what a really tough decision is, this is what is facing the couple who pushed the button for a million bucks.

First the premise of the movie. A strange man shows up at a couple's home with a box. Inside the box is another box with a red button. The stranger tells the couple that if they push the button, they will receive a million dollars...BUT someone they don't know will die. That is a tough enough decision right there, but we all know that people die all the time that we don't know, so what the heck. The woman hits the button and the next day, the stranger shows up with a briefcase that has a million dollars in it. The couple thinks it over and decide they don't want the money, but the stranger tells them that their decision has already been made. For the next hour or so in the movie, things happen that don't make any sense, but then we get the full meaning of what the movie is all about. The couple have a young son and the stranger has made the child become blind and deaf and locked him in their bathroom. Now comes the decision, the real decision. The couple have two options, live their lives with the mil kept for their son who will never again see their faces or hear their voices, or...he can regain his senses if...here's the toughy, if the father shoots the wife in the heart killing her. Of course they go through all the emotions and decide on their son's future, thus the wife is killed. At the same time, another couple is seen facing the same decision with the box and the wife is shown hitting the red button.

The morale, if there is one, is that we must all live with our decisions, whether we like the results or not. If they had just not hit that button, all of this would not have happened.

Jeez, I watch fiction all the time as I'm sure you do. I didn't care for the movie, but that didn't detract from the fact that I did and what it was about. We all at some time or another face a question, whether it's real or not, that we have to ponder.

BTW, I'm sure that you watch some crap that I don't care about as well.

i don't watch crap. just mainly sci-fi and some horror stuff. sure wish blake's 7 reruns would start up again. pretty sure diana (V) was based on servalan's character.

of course you are right <g>
