Don't you hate it when you go play pickup hockey and one or both goalies don't show up and you've got to resort to flipping the goal over? Ahhh.

bleedgreen said:i used to play pickup at denver univ., and it was so popular you had to have a pass and call in advance. same for goalies though, and they only allowed 2 goalies to sign up. 2 goalies would sign up first thing in the morning for a night time session and sometimes for a couple weeks in a row you would have 10 on 10 with only one goalie because the jerk who took the spot away from everyone at 7 am didnt show up. that was reaaly annoying, since ten other guys would have loved to have come if whoever had just called and said he wasnt going to make it.
the shooter tutor is the hardest goalie ive ever played against

Tricolore#20 said:Hahaha, what a waste of money then. It is a pretty cool concept though.
It's got a remote control so someone sitting on the bench or something would be able to control it, pretty cool. Check out the TV commercial for it, it's hilarious, lol: http://www.legolie.net/movies/LeGolie_CTC_DSL.wmvFLYLine4LIFE said:Its stupid...it randomly moves around...so when its on the right side of the net the whole left side is open....they have to take it to the next step...have a little sensor thing you put onto a puck(a REAL puck..not a junky one...so remake the goalie to withstand a regular hockey puck) so the goalie knows where the puck is and can take the angle of the shot...that way it would be much harder...but thats another 5-10 years away.

Terrier said:First of all, as an MIT grad who played one season for the varsity hockey team(after years of playing B-league intramural games), I love your avatar. As for playing pickup with one goalie, I've seen it all: the shooter tutor, flipping the net over and shooting into the top(no "ding" allowed), or simply hitting the post(the "ding" is the thing). While the shooter tutor is good for what it says it does, it usually covers the goal too loosely. What's needed is either a small net that fits onto the piping or a tutor-type device that leaves, say, only the extreme upper corners to put a puck in.
My local rink lets all goalies player for free during pickup, yet they still rarely ever show up.predhead1 said:or, just having the goalies show up. Christ, they usually don't even have to pay for the pickup skate - c'mon, all you goalies out there.
