No Excuses No Limits! The mother fucking goddamn season thread

[Preston]

Fun story: I was shooting a game at an arena in Newmarket (fucked if I can remember which one, not Magna, one of the other ones...Ray Twinney?) last winter and was checking out their wall of fame during intermission and guess who was on it....

Jays and I spoke a lot at that time and he was from Newmarket and knew I was from the York Region area and played hockey and had Italian heritage (by that point I still had a thick wop accent and my english was spotty, beyond just being a dumb kid) and he randomly came to the conclusion that I was Preston Mizzi; he was convinced. I was a kid and thought I was cool so I was like yeah, absolutely!

All that is to say that this is the only reason I knew that Preston himself is from Newmarket

7 game win streaks will do that.

forgot to respond to this yesterday - the nerdies were improving all through our struggles over the previous month.

the win streak has continued that improvement, but didn't cause it.

So you're like, one of those real Italians?

As opposed to one of those fake Italians like Zeke, of course.

Pretty fake tbh. It was my first language but it's almost all gone. I can get by but I sound like a dumbass.


I'm fully aware I just set myself up. Don't take it .It's too easy.

I would ask myself this question as well but when has fear of being ridiculed stopped you?

Fuck this place is hard on keyboards.

Replying to Jonas with the words “hard on” will get you in trouble. Fair warning.

Have you considered less day drinking?

I fucking love getting Beverly Hills beer league updates. LOF >>>

not even beer league. floor hockey*

 

[Wayward DP]

Great shot, sent two guys to the bench on Sunday who dared to block it. But definitely the big flaw in my game is I don’t use it enough. Always looking to make a play and it becomes predictable that I usually won’t shoot.

yeah well my shot sends three guys to the bench at once

 

[Wayward DP]

Thought you don’t check the stat sheet?

maybe he is referring to his prime scoring years?

 

[Wayward DP]

I was like LOF in real hockey but a fucking disgusting hog when I got competitive in beer league. Tunnel vision and ignore everyone on the ice kind of hog. The worst. And then I retired because my body broke and I'm borderline handicapped. The end.

but did you give the scorekeeper shit when they omitted your secondary assists?

 

[Wayward DP]

You would be a good addition to my team, the Butt Puckers. We play at Elvis Stojko arena. Dm me.

there is a landmark from my childhood that has not been mentioned for years

I debated Elvis s vs Ed sackfield but I thought the word sack might get presto a bit too randy.

we took school trips to sackfield back in the day

not sure that problem is unique to Italian

I just have to say this thread was exactly what I needed this afternoon. Been a shitty couple days and got to enjoy some unexpected comic relief. Thanks all, but mostly LOF, our catalyst.
