ajs510 122 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 My strategy is to use the first few games to weed out the weaker players. Then I'll play the stronger players for the majority of the time and alternate a weaker player in there every now and then. We're allowed one coach on the playing field so I'm gonna run around and keep them hustling whether they like it or not. First one who cries or complains about anything will be used as an example and prohibited from partaking in the Mr. Freezie halftime ceremonies.Seriously though...we have two goals.1. Have fun. I want the kids to have a good time and enjoy coming to soccer and socializing with other kids.2. I'd like to introduce them to kicking with the inside of their feet or their instep.Which one of your rules covers the usage of a Tazer on kids that won't run fast enough to be a winner?Don't be a WUSSSSSSSSY!!!!

Dubey 1,035 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 It's funny, even though my attention and interest has waned a bit as the playoffs have progressed, I've still been followin all the scores closely and watching whatever games I can. On Saturday I actually completely forgot there was a game, and didn't even know the score, or remember about the game, until I was surfing the net on Sunday afternoon. It felt weird. I felt like a non-hardcore, casual fan for about 5 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 OMGMe: Okay buddy, you can pick the ball up in this area right here. Anywhere else and you can only use your feet like everyone else. Got it? This area you can pick the ball up. This area right here.Him: I can cross my eyes. Link to post Share on other sites

Philly's going to win the next one, then Chicago steals one on the road and wins Game 5 at home for the hoist. Link to post Share on other sites

dEv~ 19 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 From MyESPN Today email... Did you know?The Chicago Blackhawks beat the Philadelphia Flyers 2-1 Monday night in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals, moving them two wins away from their first Stanley Cup since 1961. The Blackhawks are now 5-0 in these playoffs in games decided by one goal and have a 2-0 lead in the series. Since the NHL went to best-of-7 in the Cup final in 1939, teams winning Games 1 and 2 have won the Cup 41 of the 45 previous occurrences.Hopefully this series goes the same way as 91% of the others.

SBriand 4 Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 1. Regarding coaching soccer. So you Canucks don't have zone soccer for 6 and under? Best game in the world for that age. The field is broken into squares. Each square has one kid from each team. They cannot leave the square under any circumstances or play stops. This forces them to learn to pass to teammates, teaches them position, and eliminates the always enjoyable, 22 players in a pile around the ball. That is what I played 5 - 6 years old and then once 7 we started to play full field soccer.2. I told myself to root for the Hawks because I think it would make the Det/Chi rivalry better and if some team in our division won the Cup then it would help urge Holland to put a great team toghether. While that all sounds good on paper, watching the game is different. I just could not root for them last night and kept rooting for the Flyers. I thought I could do it but I can't. Go flyers.

digitalmonkey 929 Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 Jonathan Toews reminds me of Bryan Trottier. A lot! If Kane comes anywhere close to being like Mike Bossy then the Hawks are in good shape for a few years. Link to post Share on other sites

Hell I played on some teams in my teens that would have benefited with a season of zone soccer. lolDefinately.That's how gym hockey (deck hockey, floor hockey, whatever you call it) is played in youth leagues around here. Only the centers are allowed to roam anywhere on the floor, the defensemen and wings have to stay in their own zone. Basically just divide the floor into quarters, defensemen and wingers aren't allowed to cross their side of the center lines. I played gym hockey every Saturday for like 10 years, loved it.

serge 904 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Theory being thrown around on a talk show yesterday....I believe by Steve Ludzig..The NHL totally changes the way they call penalties in the playoffs, therefore changes the style of play.Therefore skilled teams who were succesful in the regular season this year ie Capital, Sharks and Penguins have no shot at going deep. Teams like the Flyers who get away with calls (see Pronger on every play) are more succesful...While Chicago deserves everything they have had, the style that Byfuglien plays would not work in the regular season as he would be in the box all game.The referreing in the playoffs is a joke, and is the only sport(maybe basketball too) that changes the rules in the playoffs.

mrdannyg 274 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I'm sure Serge will take some crap for this, but I don't think the above is totally crazy.I don't think a few penalties here or there make up for the difference between the Flyers and Penguins/Caps, but it's still something.p.s. Chris Pronger is probably my most hated player in the NHL today. Roenick passed the title to Tucker. While still technically in the NHL, Tucker doesn't really count any more. This whole stealing the game puck thing isn't funny to me, more like something a shortsighted teenager or mentally stunted grownup would do. Link to post Share on other sites

I totally agree with it FWIW..Regarding Pronger..You have to give me the man some props...He has made the Stanley Cup Finals 3 of the last 5 years with Anaheim, Edmonton and now Philly.We all know about Hossa's streak of 3 in a row, however Pronger is a huge part of the reason for the success of his teams. His play is questionable to some, but the man is a difference maker on every team he plays on. Link to post Share on other sites
