The Official (haha) I Just Scored A Goal Thread

Twice!I'm pretty ecstatic right now, I'm just playing with a rec group on Sunday mornings. This was my 5th time out this year, and had nothing to show for it. I was thinking part of the problem (besides me sucking) was that my stick was too short, and not curved enough to make up for my crappiness. So I bought a new composite (the first one I've ever used) with a 90 flex, and 3/4 curve. So it took me a few shots in warm up to get used to the stick, but by game time I felt good. My first shot was from the point on D, someone passed it back, I skated in a bit and rang a bullet off the crossbar. Wow that felt nice even though I didn't score!A bit later, i was skating in closing in on the defenceman, 1 on 1, and didn't really have an option, so i slowed up, dragged the puck a bit and fired a wrister between his legs and in the side of the net, first goal of the year!My 2nd one, i was open on the right side, took the pass and quickly fired it low off the post and in as the goalie was sliding over (if I didn't go as far as the post he would have stopped it), so it was pretty too!I also helped set up a pretty goal, where we had a 2 on 1 with me on the right side, I ended up going in kinda sideways and took a pass to my forehand (I'm a left handed shot) and was about to shoot, but caught a 3rd guy coming in on the other side and fed him a pass on the tape and he finished it with a nice wrist shot. W000t!

Can I call you Phil Kessel? I forget, whats your history with playing hockey? Did you play a lot when you were younger? Either way, nice one scoring two. And congrats on getting up on Sunday mornings to play. Personally, I haven't scored in 10games this season, its pissing me off. I gotta get better, thinking of taking powerskating to help improve.

I played from when I was 5 til 18 just in house league. Only played a few years as a forward, was goalie for 6 or 7 years, and defence for a few years, and definately was never a goal scorer. I also don't get up to play on Sundays, I stay up late on Saturday nights

Hey, that's the same flex my 11-12 year olds use! I use a 110 cause I'm tough like that, haha.Congrats to playin more and having more fun with the scoring. I got back on the ice playing (been on the ice coaching) last week after 9-10 off with my partial ACL and PCL tears. Man, did I miss it!I had one on my first shot back too...back door pass to an open net, so I didn't do much. 2nd game, I had like 5 breakaways and 2-3 other good chances but my touch is WAY off. Got a crappy rebound goal though.
