NHL 2021: I Pledge Allegiance to Gritty

Checking in any zone was fully legal starting in peewee hockey in Minnesota (11/12y old?) when I played back in the late '90s. I was even complimented by Bryan 'Butsy' Erickson at one of his summer camps as being one of the best players at checking he'd ever seen (at that level, of course). Unfortunately, the same could not be said of my skating ability. Thus, I was out of hockey by the time bantams rolled around, lol.
 
Yeah it was def peewee here in Minnesota

was just up at Braemar arena in Edina, which I’d venture is one of the top development programs in the US. Was blown away at the amount of female players under 10 that were buzzing around tonight, just so many youth players here
 
You guys are making me feel old. We were allowed to check as mites. And they taught us both to hit and take a hit. It was also an era where keeping your head up was a requirement, as if you got knocked out, it was your fault. Rarely ever happened, even with the talk because players kept their heads up.

So I saw that Dumba hit as totally legal, and even necessary.

Turbo time!

(I’m so glad I’m in market for the Kraken and I don’t have to watch the game on ESPN)

Funny, last night my dad said he couldn’t stomach LaPanta so he was so glad ESPN also carried game

speaking of the wild. My slumping neighbor had some kind of team gathering at his house tonight, you could tell because none of the Porsches or Audis in his driveway were his. Maybe they beat some sense back into him
 
A clarification on the checking comment. Co-worker/hockey dad said it's depends on the conference. Some allow checking at the pee-wee level, the conf his son is in starts at bantam.
 
That was such a fun game last night outside of JEE only lasting 19 seconds.

Vikings tight ends sat in front of us and we’re a goddamn tourist attraction. TJ hocksenson bought everyone drinks, obliged every pic, shared fries with the granny next to him. Adorable.

And now I won’t let my dog piss on zuccarellos yard anymore since he’s come alive

now let’s go kraken!!

No they dont. Game 1 was far from a perfect performance. Good Lord can you just try to enjoy yourself for once?

And no, I cannot enjoy myself. After one of the most stacked Gopher Teams of my lifetime came up short again I am done with EVER thinking a Minnesota Team is good enough to win anything.
