@@JeffBisCamp 50 and over league, we have a young 50 year old and then a couple of old farts 65+. All the teams in the league are like this except the women’s team, everybody knows better than to card them and I am sure they are sneaking in some 20 year olds.

If you like watching the ice behind the net! I was a bit disappointed. Jason got a 40 shot shut out, played incredible and I got 30 minutes of his skates.

@@NerdrageHockey I've had it happen as well, where the camera ended up angled down and cut off the other net. It's unfortunate, but I felt like I could still see the saves, if not the shooters sometimes. Could see all the important parts!

Thank you sir! Found your channel via OVR40, guessing you will have some new subscribers soon too!

@@NerdrageHockey He’s the best. Really enjoy his content. I just started playing hockey again this year and his channel has been easily the most helpful resource for me as an over 40 goalie myself.

@@RetroButterfly Thanks Kate! I’ll take them anyway I can get’ ‘em. We’ve been real short this whole season. It would be nice to get all the guys out at once.

@@JackMuren thanks Jack! Dana was back at it again stringing me out. I can’t wait to get skinny and be able to keep up with his lateral movement. That is why it felt so good to tease him when he whiffed the shot.

@@NerdrageHockey how is the weight loss going?

@@JackMuren Down 18 from last season. Another 50 to go :(

@@NerdrageHockey that's progress. Keep working on it. You can get where you want to be.

It's also nice not having to buy Jerseys every other season. Then again we had a Jersey sponsor for this round. I don't know what women's hockey is like but I have been in a toxic locker room before with teammates yelling at each other more than the refs. It is nice to be able to choose not to be on a team with the 1 or 2 players that can ruin the environment. TBH the senior league is pretty good about that. Most of the players have aged out of that. To my knowledge I have the biggest mouth on the ice and I am usually just trying to make people laugh.

@@NerdrageHockey Yeah, I can imagine it would be nice to be able to avoid people that were being toxic. I can't speak for other women's leagues, but these two have been pretty great so far. If people made a habit of yelling at people in dressing rooms, they'd likely be risking their spot in the league. The most toxicity I run in to is certainly the times I've been in co-ed tournaments. Sometimes the guys there can get a bit too worked up over charity tournaments. Bit ridiculous, honestly. I'd go mad if I had to deal with that all the time. lol

@@RetroButterfly he got me in the head three times. But I let it get in my head and stopped playing as well, was far more tense after it. So on so forth. Completely annoyed with myself.

My precious child, one gander in the description and you will realize this was the day after I worked 18 hours and walked over 20K steps. My body wasn't 100% I'm not in my 30s any more. As to why he was lining up because the ref told him to and he didn't look back at me.

@@NerdrageHockey Oh I did read it. I just saw it as an excuse. I as your eldest child reserve the right to ignore all excuses.

@@Jerggy-Learning-The-Hard-Way Why don't you post video of your games so I can Critique your game play.

@@NerdrageHockey Thats because I am not currently playing, father. You know this. Once I an finished moving I can.

4:06 was my awkward dolphin save (I was looking for a sound effect when editing). Sliding is a lot easier and I started waxing the sliding surfaces which helps immensely. I really need to work on planting the skate blade when I drop to help with mobility. I also regressed in this game and was standing up a lot more again. It was the early game and I didn't wake up until the third. Thanks Jack!

@@NerdrageHockey glad to hear things are coming together. You looked good out there. I enjoyed the video!

Thanks Jack, I think that getting lower in my stance is helping with the rotation. There was a shot that surprised me where I wasn't lower but for the most part I have trying to keep it low. I noticed in yours and other videos that (at 3:06 of your current one) the elevation of the head doesn't change a lot when dropping. I was basically still standing and my head elevation was changing by a foot. Once I figured that out I went and rewatched a bunch of yours and Matthews videos to verify.

@@NerdrageHockey that was a really good observation. Pasco Valana does a really good video on that exact thing. He has some really great videos. Definitely worth checking him out.

@@JackMuren I watched a bunch of his stuff the last time you suggested in. Might have put that thought in my head but you know how it goes. People can tell you over and over something but until it clicks you don't get it. It finally clicked.

@@NerdrageHockey 👍🏻 looking good out there. Keep it up!

Just a bunch of old people doing our passion not taking it seriously. Thank you for the kind words.

The other goalie is pretty awesome. She makes up the size difference with agility.

@@NerdrageHockey she moved really well for sure

You didn't know fat boy could twist that way :D. Actually down 5 pounds and I can really feal it out there. It wasn't intentional either, now that it is warmer I have been eating lighter. Need to flip the switch and just drop 50 pounds.

@@NerdrageHockey I never doubted you. Glad to hear you are feeling better after dropping weight. Keep it up.

Not really #3 and #20 were quick but you did manage to shoot wide left by like 4 feet so there was some improvement over last time.

I got a new stick (new to me). It is really light and the pucks shoot off it. At 1:46 I even looked at it after a puck unexpectantly took off instead of hopping right to my D.

@@NerdrageHockey very cool. I love playing with a new stick

I was checking out your "Featured goalie" Video, reminds me of half my videos where it seems like the other guy is always playing really well.

@@NerdrageHockey lol it feels that way sometimes. Ron had not played in 14 months due to injury. I was happy for him to have such a successful return to the ice.

It does hurt to get up in the back and the hips. TBH it doesn't hurt as much during the game as it does when I am trying to stretch or not on the ice, more bothersome really. My pregame stretches aren't too involved. I stretch my back out on the stairs while putting my shoes on. A couple of quick toe touching and leg shaking. What kind of stretch routine do you have?

@@NerdrageHockey I stretch on the ice before I see a few warm up shots. Mostly my thighs, hips, ankles, knees, lower back. Afterwards, I use a massage gun to work on any muscle tightness or pain. Have you ever tried one? I'm wondering if some of your movement restrictions on the ice could be from joint and muscle tightness or inflexibility. If your hips and back have limited mobility or tightness and pain, it can be very difficult to move the way you want to while playing.

@@JackMuren After years of Martial Arts smacking heavy bags with every sort of Kick I have the hips of a 70 year old to the point that they constantly pop (mostly the right side). My knee's are toast. I dislocated my shoulder when I was 17 and it never recovered (feels like I have grit in it). The weight is the issue, my hips and knees would be a lot better if they weren't pushing around an extra 60 pounds. My fighting weight was 190 I am sitting at 250 right now. I lost 20 pounds last year in prep for the quiting smoking thing and put on 30 when it was done. I'm fat, no excuses, and while on the fatness scale I am only slightly fat (I am big boy) my body knows and is revolting. One thing I have been doing a lot of lately when nobody is looking is crouch down in a set stance at any point of the day and hold it. Something Over40Goalie recommended. It is helping although I have pain when doing it beyond the legs burning. Hips knees back are all screaming.

@@NerdrageHockey I completely get it. It's good that you acknowledge it and are actively working on changing it. Getting older myself, having played a variety of sports, and working a physical job all my life I can certainly relate. It's awesome you are out there stopping pucks and having fun! You certainly have made improvements and will continue improving the more you play.

😂😂

The first goal was almost forgivable, 5 holed on a pass across. Second goal I was thinking all pass and after he passed the hash marks was only half heartedly sliding back expecting to have to go back to the middle. Third goal was all me and the over time winner I wasn't close to being in the right position. ugh.

I just need to be less lazy and get my fat butt over there. Going to have to change my channel name to LazyRageHockey or NerdLethargicHockey FatBoyDoesHockey or even OldFatGuyWithaBadBack. Getting really tired of falling forward because I am carrying the extra 50 pounds after quitting smoking. I figured by now I would start dropping some weight. At least I am not gaining any more. Thank you for the kind comments.

@@NerdrageHockey Giving my goalie friends a few kind words is one of my hobbies!

Good hobby!

That was a good save for me misreading it, when he started shooting I was reading low left but it went high right. That first goal though, when you put your video up making an ugly save I wanted to comment at least you got the save. I so read shot instead of pass on that goal, and an akward yell and waiving a toe at it didn't bail me out. I guess my reads are off that early in the morning. At least I can make fun of myself.

Go back to the channel and see if you can't find any other videos you were in. I post 90% of them but am horrible at charging my cameras so miss a few every now and then.

That team was pretty hungry and they got some more talent in the off season. I could have helped by stopping that 5 hole from distance but he surprised me. I was expecting a move or something and he got it off pretty quick. As to the camera I will not buy a GoPro. I have heard way to much about how they overheat or randomly stop working. I have had some issues with this brand of camera but a lot of it is me, not charging it, not formatting the card so on so forth. There is a lot of prep work to film these videos. I also have serious misgivings about throwing a $400 camera in the line of slapshots. I will stick with my cheap Akaso v50 (that is the camera that worked in this video). You can see it is sufficient for what I am doing. Once I replace the older camera with the V50 I think I'll be set. I might just thrown the old camera in the net behind me until it gets destroyed.

Bummer about your skates too. Hopefully the wax laces help.

@@JackMuren The guy was claiming our guy pushed him into the goalie. Clearly not the case. Greg (other goalie) is a friend of mine and will see the video. Doubt he'll sub for them again. Then again free hockey is free hockey. I can't really complain. My D is one of the best in the league and pull down and prevent a lot of shot. If they want to score on me every now and then it's fine as long as they score on the other goalie too

@@NerdrageHockey lol yeah it was pretty strange. Of course, we have all had weird stuff happen on the ice before. Hopefully everyone had fun and I'm glad Greg wasn't hurt.

The other team didn't score on me. 2 own goals and an empty net. So technically I shut them out and still lost.

@@NerdrageHockey Ahh fair, makes sense there. Not much you can do when your own team does that 😅

@@PizzaRollz1 The first one my D put the puck in my skates and started yelling at me. Second one they just skipped me and put it in themselves. They asked me not to send out the video this week.

@@NerdrageHockey LOL as if your video is gonna do anything, sounds like some sensitive teammates there... Rather see everything, good or bad, you can learn from the mistakes

That is exactly why I put embarrasing videos of my old over weight butt up on youtube. This game my skates loosened up so much I kept blowing an edge (bought wax laces 10 minutes after the game was over). None of that is flattering. Still up on YT for the world to see.

Oh it was picking up whistles and slapshots clanging into the boards on the other side of the rink. It really sounded great, it was a wonderful proof of concept. I just sounded like I was speaking through a pillow. Thank you for watching. Another game down in the GSX's. My next upgrade will be wax laces so I can tie down the bases really good and leave the ankles loose. I'll let you know how it goes.

@@NerdrageHockey Ah, very nice! I've been using wax laces with my GSX as well and I've really liked them.

Thanks Jack, Toe strap broke and decided to live under the skate blade. I had the goalie ref fortunately and he ripped it off the pad so play could continue. My G4's now have laces like real pads. Mic on the other hand did a great job recording the sounds of the rink and sounds of slapshots and whistles. I sounded muffled and was basically inaudible while talking. Sort of like the adults in Charlie Browns universe. Last week it fell off twice before I got on the ice. I just don't know where to put the thing so it stays on me and picks up the audio I want. I am thinking of a spot on the collar bone and will give that a shot next week.

@@NerdrageHockey oh that sucks about your pad strap. Not much is as aggravating as gear malfunctions mid game. Curious if you could mount the mic in the chin of your mask somehow? Can't get a much better spot to pick up your audio. Nice of the ref to help you out. I'm sure being a goalie himself he understands better than most. Look forward to hearing you micd up if you can get the mic mounted in a good spot.

@@JackMuren I don't want to put the mic in the helmet because of moisture and breathing. 10 minutes of me breathing into a mic would drive off even me. My next step is to move it up to the collar some how. When I was using the built on clip that is where I was putting it but it wouldn't stay attached. I'll have to come up with something eventually but look forward to more videos of me talking to the camera and no audio. I almost fell out of my chair when I watched that, just knew I had to throw that in.

Thank you, I had already written it off and he pulled the flail wildly at the puck move and put it next to my ear.

Thanks Jack, for me it is really hard to manage distance on those. I want to retreat to the goal line when they are coming at me at fast but I know I'm supposed to stay at the top of the crease. And 77 got me to bite hard on the first goal. When he pulled back back I thought the puck was coming and he went around me as I dropped.

@@NerdrageHockey yeah, breakaways are tough. We are supposed to be patient, but I feel like it's really hard to react to those low snap shots in close. It is important to maintain depth to take away as much space to shoot as possible. If they get in close, we are covering the lower part of the net and crowding the puck with our gloves and upper body as much as possible. You came out and forced most of the guys to shoot early, which is great, and they mostly shot wide, which is even better. Nice job out there!

Yeah, I also noticed a lot of good work on breakaways and mini-breakaways!

Because it was in and out so fast. One of the reasons I like my Elder league is there is a lot less of this.

It was a fun game, paying the price eating Tylonol for breakfast this morning as I have to leave for my old man league in an hour.

@@NerdrageHockey I understand that. Good luck tonight!!

I drink at least 3 large cups of coffee a day or I get a head ache. Typically I play Saturday mornings so I'll have a cup on the way to the game and hydrate before and finish my coffee after the game. This was a 10:45pm game on a Monday and I did everything but hydrate and eat well. Then it was the first game in a month in a higher league against the first place team so I told the team I was subbing for that they are really scraping the bottom of the barrel if they wanted me but desperate times call for desperate measures. That being said I let 2 goals in for leg cramping, 1 off camera and goal 5 I really couldn't crouch and get set so was standing when he shot. The team played great in front of me, If it wasn't for those 2 it was a 3-2 game.

@@NerdrageHockeyit's hard for us goalies not to overthink goals against. Knowing we should have had a particular shot or having certain expectations of our own play in any given skate. Physical limitations, physical exhaustion from work, and even our daily food intake most definitely impacts our play. Sucks to be out there and not be able to perform up to our usual expectation for ourselves, but it happens to all of us. Don't be too hard on yourself. Your play wasn't bad. Get 'em next time.

@@JackMuren Thanks Jack! On bright side I am 2% more mobile in the new skates. I watched a video saying to keep your chest big, my paddle down style doesn't do this so I am making a consciouse effort to keep a big chest lately. Not as evident in this game but my other game I did a much better job at it, but it changes my balance, not so much weight forward actually makes it a lot easier to slide and the toes actually dig into the ice with the new skates. There is a spot in this game where I over slide 0:42, honestly the first time I have ever done that.

@@NerdrageHockey absolutely. Glad to hear the new skates have been helpful. Your upper body positioning has a lot to do with your sliding. Good to hear you are making progress in your game.

The other goalie is super quick and very agile and this is one of the few times we've been able to crack her. She's normally a brick wall back there.

I figured you would like this one. We don't have enough active woman for an entire league but they do field a team. They were missing a couple of key players today.
