Around the League 2019-2024 Edition

Usually, I would make a remark about coaches from that part of the world being unnecessarily cunty.

But Johnny's last game was...woof: 14.7 xGF%
 
This literally happened to me yesterday at street hockey. I was hanging in the defensive zone waiting for the puck to come around off the boards, and once I got it, I turned to begin my way back up into the neutral zone, and BAM, my own teammate who was running full speed in the same direction (but way close to me for no reason) smashed into my JAW, square on, with the top of his head (which was helmeted while mine wasn't). I was down for a solid 30 seconds and still have a really sore jaw that is making my head hurt.

I assume no concussion, but that could just be the concussion talking.
 
Wait, is this a Sixth Sense thing where I don't realize I'm dead yet and have nothing better to do in the afterlife than find a way to post on this message board still?
 
Every week. Used to be 2x, sometimes 3x, but the game has splintered off and the other games are too far away or too early. Like there's a game today, but 1 hour away and in the early morning, and I don't have the energy. #gettingold
 
Yup. Everything I liked as a kid, I like now. I'm just trying to structure my life in a way where I can just relive my childhood, I think.

We used to play throughout elementary and high school, and then during my U of T days, we had a couple of games. One of them was at night (I think Mondays) at the gym/rec center next to Vaughn High School or whatever it's called. It was us 20 year olds versus this group of 40 year olds at the time, and those games got dirty because they were way bigger than us and took out life's frustrations on us college kids. But fuck was it fun.

Then when I moved to LA I looked for a game, couldn't find one until one day after several years I was randomly driving somewhere and saw a bunch of guys playing so I got out and asked them about it, and that game has moved venues and evolved with many different faces who've come and gone over the years into what it is now.

Actually, two weeks ago these two guys happened to be walking by the outdoor rink we play in and asked if they could play, and so they did and are pretty good. And one of them happens to be, of all people, Taylor Kitsch.

You would never know it's him. He wears a full helmet and cage because he can't risk getting his face hit, and he's currently rocking long hair and a really thick black beard. Also his body type is surprisingly scrawny. The way he looks on screen, I expected to see someone with a much fuller frame, but he's a pretty skinny guy.

Dude has been in a lot of stuff. I looked him up after we played the first time and I was surprised at how many things he's been in over the years where I just kinda forgot he was in them.
 
He's actually randomly been on the opposite team the two times we've played, but his buddy was on my team and we played on a line for the most part and we were chatting. Cool guy who played US college hockey. Says he's close friends with Henrik Lundqvist and was taking shots on him a couple weeks ago. I guess he's planning to try to still play this year.
