OT: CBJ Lounge XX (All Non-Sports, Non-Political Talk Here)

[blahblah]

So I had a buddy post on FB today looking for adult pickup street hockey in the Powell/Delaware area. Thought it sounded like a good idea (that's my neck of the woods, too). So far we haven't found anything formal, so he's considering just calling a time and place. His quote: "Two file crates, four sticks, sidewalk chalk, and BOOM you have a game." Maybe we can get more players, but whatever. So I told him I'd put feelers out here as well. Anyone potentially have interest?

If you aren't expecting skill, sure. Maybe that could be my gateway into real hockey.

Wondering if anyone has advice about teaching the rules of hockey to people who want to learn. I have a couple of friends here that are interested in learning about hockey. And I figure now is a good time because of the playoffs.

They're soccer fans, so hopefully it won't be too difficult for them to follow.

edit: I should probably note; we aren't playing, just watching streams.

Dunno if you have access, but I've found hockey video games are great for that. Explain icing, then ice the puck, let them see what happens. Explain offsides, then go offsides, etc.

They must learn, of course, to feel shame.

Love that scene ... almost as much as I love the look on Reg's face when he puts the Hansons on the ice for the first time.

Good idea. We've been watching a few games lately, and one of my friends asked if there were hockey video games. I asked my dad to ship one of my NHL games from the states. Kind of excited to get to play it myself.

Younger kids would probably enjoy watching Peter Puck, but some of the rules have changed since then (notably the two-line pass):

To no one's surprise the Acura NSX will be built right next to the Accord and TL plant in Marysville.

 

[BluejacketNut]

I would love to get a TL, but sadly still out of my price range

I would love to get a TL, but sadly still out of my price range

And I'd love to get an NSX, but the original is still far out of my price range! Can't imagine what the new one will cost.

I don't really care for the newer TL's but I would love to have a TL Types S from a couple years back.

Just finished the last homework assignment I will ever have in High School. So crazy at how fast time flies. Although I am scared, I am excited to move forward to tOSU next fall.

Congrats on finishing high school, and best of luck at THE University!

As an alum, I would encourage you to drop the t. Implore you, even. And never think about "but for Ohio State".

Anyway, congratulations! What are you thinking of studying?

I have no idea. I know I love sports, and I would love to get into any type of major league sport. It's my dream, so sports management seems to be up my ally but I haven't 100% decided.

if you love sports, you should look into their football team.

Congrats on your impending graduation - my second-oldest daughter just got her diploma last night. She will be attending BGSU working towards a degree in Communications hoping to get a job in Public Relations. That might be a good fit for you as PR is one of the fastest growth fields out there and lots of businesses, including professional teams, are looking for people who can use the social media tools that are available to their advantage.

They got a football team? When did that happen?

I have 4 tickets to the Indy 500 tomorrow for sale. Willing to let them go for less than face value. 2 of the tickets are general admission and 2 are in the stands. I would split them up if need be.

Hit me up at [email protected] or preferably 614 206 3086. Thanks

For those who care, and I guess I care, although probably isn't the good kind of caring...

Scott Torgerson has joined the QFM 96 morning show. Apparently last Monday was the first show. I knew Arch was doing work on the new 95.5 sports station, but I guess he is also off the morning show with Jerry Elliott.

So, I def enjoyed the weather a lot more this Memorial Day weekend compared to last year. I'll take mid 60's compared to mid 90's like last year.

Seems weird that they wouldn't put Torg on the sports channel considering his part in the massive ratings success of his previous sports show.

I never heard the Archie and Elliott show. Hell, I didn't even know Wags & Elliott was no longer a thing. But from what I've heard, Arch seems to a pretty good alternative to what 97.1 plays at the same time on their station.
