I played pickup hockey twice a week with this guy for the past 5 years. Arguably the oldest person regularly playing hockey.

That is so awesome that you play hockey.:thumbsup:

 

[Blitty]

Thanks Razor. Welcome to GL

I will most likely be dead before 80, but if I am alive I hope I am just like this guy.

Did y'all take it easy with him blity?

Did y'all take it easy with him blity?

For the most part roguey. When he had the puck we would usually sit back and let him do his thing. A few times there would be instances where non-regulars would steal the puck from him or play too rough. I would have to go out there and regulate them.

He likes to use short sticks Blitty.

What's with the 2 dudes in the background of one of those pics wearing long sleeve shirts under their gear? WTF.... they play in warm California not in -35 degree barns like we do in Canada. PUSSIES!!!

 

[Blitty]

Pucky, they are wearing those new long sleeve under armour deals. Although I don't wear them, they are fairly common in the big show.

 

[PuckOff]

Long sleeves Blitty??? I don't think so.

Blit, you are pulling a JJ on me. I thought you were going to get me in a few games in your league. I see you are not to be trusted. You know, I hold you in fairly high regard, but I see things going south if you keep up with these types of shenanigans. It's almost April and the season is basically over.

 

[Matty]

You know, I hold you in fairly high regard.

- High regard




- Fairly high regard




- Not really high regard at all

 

[PuckOff]

fairly, but not really!!!

 

[Blitty]

Pucky, if you show up with your blades and a twig I'll get you in a game. Stop being a cuntnuck.

Blitty,

I'm not going to just hop on a plane to go play a couple game of pickup hockey. I need to play in league games with real referees. I will need to sign a standard players agreement which I can also provide to my insurance company. Serious question. Can you get my on yoru team that plays in that Vegas tourney every year?

May I suggest instead a thrilling game of ptanque at the park.

Hey I remember petanque. I used to have a buddy I would get high with at his cottage in Penetanguishene and we would play petanque.

That was some fun petanquing.
