Geek Hockey (General Discussion)

Sounds like a good plan, B72. If the system works out well, we can just rotate the balanced one between the three of us every game

bruins72 · Post by **bruins72** » Tue Apr 08, 2008 3:01 pm

We might find that one of us has abilities that make us better at playing from a balanced approach than others. It's all a learning experience!

Post by **batdad** » Tue Apr 08, 2008 5:59 pm

I betcha you need only AGGRESSIVE all the way to win this. Outscore everyone 25-15

Post by **archibalduk** » Tue Apr 08, 2008 6:29 pm

Ah but if you go out gung-ho you'll leave your defence wide open

Post by **joehelmer** » Tue Apr 08, 2008 6:57 pm

That's why I'm a balanced keeper, when every team-mate is trying to tackle our opponents apart I will stand there and save us, like the great saviour I am.

bruins72 · Post by **bruins72** » Tue Apr 08, 2008 6:58 pm

Wouldn't it better for you as the goalie to be conservative if every other member of your team is going all out aggressive?

Post by **batdad** » Tue Apr 08, 2008 9:26 pm

Nah. he gotta get us the puck like Turco/Brodeur. 25-15 i tells ya. We win our games that way!!!

Post by **joehelmer** » Tue Apr 08, 2008 9:29 pm

Yeah, and I want to score as well!

Our tactic worked.

Shall we continue with this one?

Post by **archibalduk** » Mon Apr 14, 2008 8:49 pm

A nice start for the Nordiques

B72 managed just as many goals as the rest of us even though he was only playing 'Balanced'. I'll go Balanced this time around and B72 and Loosie can go Aggressive - if you guys both agree then we'll stick with the system.

GO QUEBEC GO!

bruins72 · Post by **bruins72** » Mon Apr 14, 2008 8:53 pm

Our little system appears to have worked this time. Let's see if it works again. I'm willing to switch it up and go Aggressive while you go Balanced, Archi. We'll see how it turns out.

Post by **batdad** » Mon Apr 14, 2008 9:03 pm

OOOH YEAH! IT WORKED! I am tied for league lead in scoring!! WITH GORDIE HOWE!!! and some guy named Loxish...Hey Joe, how's about you make a save or two capi?

Lets leave it and see what happens.

bigargon · Post by **bigargon** » Mon Apr 14, 2008 9:41 pm

WE lead the +/-

But as long as we are on the same team it´s fine for me to be number 2 behind you

Post by **batdad** » Mon Apr 14, 2008 9:59 pm

Bah! IF my goalie/captain learns how to stop a freaking puck before Game 2...noone will top our high flying offense for Goals, assists, plus minus or anything!

Dear Joehelmer..do something to help you stop the puck..you know like conservative or something. I dunno. Just stop the dang puck.

Post by **joehelmer** » Mon Apr 14, 2008 10:21 pm

Yeah, actually I thought of that as well after the results were reported. In the future I will be conservative.

Post by **batdad** » Mon Apr 14, 2008 10:30 pm

Good captain. Good captain.

I smell a 9-0 win coming on.

Loosie · Post by **Loosie** » Mon Apr 14, 2008 10:55 pm

Defenitly Archi...it worked so we'll stick with the system.

Post by **Tasku** » Tue Apr 15, 2008 1:44 am

Atleast we can score goals. And for the 8 that we let in, I don't blame the defense, I blame Zetterman!

Post by **joehelmer** » Tue Apr 15, 2008 7:30 am

The two Swedish goalies has had a great start.

8 and 5 goals allowed.

I'll take the big bucks i am making in this geek league and buy you some contact lenses so you can see the puck next time
