Pre-game day thread vs Cup Winners

[Bones45]

Any other dads bring kid(s) to game tomorrow cuz they're off?

My 8yr old and I are heading over for some proper pregaming with sandwiches and hockey gear.

Scottywiper and Finn.. still here? Coming to game?

Side question. Anyone have luck explaining "saucer pass" to an 8 yr old?

I would just say that it is a pass 'off the ice', designed so that the other team has a harder time intercepting it.

IDK if that's even right, as the language changes a bit from time to time. e.g. I've heard some people call a slap shot, a clapper.

But that's what I been taught.

There are so many expressions which are difficult to explain to kids. Even if they watch hockey..

"Walk the blueline" comes to mind.

Get your stick and net out, and go 'show him' how a master would do it.

Im still in New York, but Im skipping the game. Im fairly certain scotty is going to be there.

You could probably find a way to somehow explain a saucer pass using a little bit of stone skipping analogy. All kids should know what that is. Not exactly the same, but an easy way to get the logic down imo.

" your mother is a such a b_ _ _ h " is a tough one to explain when the child asks what it means. Is this a hockey only thread ?
Been to a few holiday day games . It's like a Charlie Waffles concert .

A saucer pass is when a player passes the puck in the air and it spins flat like a flying saucer. An 8 year old would likely understand that.
