What game do you imagine they are playing ? Oh I see just fire the puck into the middle of he net as that is most commonly accepted as the most difficult place for a goalie to stop it. Don't forget goalies who angle their stick so the puck will deflect up and out. They do try and hit the bar, that's a non debatable fact. So you guys are telling me that they are practicing hitting the bar which is neither a goal nor a shot on goal in a game situation. Sure worked for Schaber in the 1st last night. Is this Todd's fault too ? Nothing prettier than a bar down goal. |

I played junior hockey at the rink as I'm sure others did on here for years, it's what happens. I'm not saying it's Todds fault, it's just what happens, it happens from a very young age. If too many pucks are going into the stands off the bar then it's up to someone to tell the guys to stop it, or put more nets up. Neither of which will happen. |

You currently have 13 skaters out there who did not go through the Kdy junior system to pick up such a habit. I didn't so I accept your insider knowledge saying the local lads could be culpable. Despite being around junior and kids hockey a bit in the USA and Canada I guess none of us really know the NA/European attitudes so this is going nowhere fast. Enhanced netting is the answer though not to ask players to modify behaviour be that deliberate or just to be more careful. |

It's not just at the rink, it happens everywhere and it always has in warm up and at training, it goes on in roller hockey as well, it's just a hockey thing, it's not the local lads faults, it's noones fault, it's just a thing that happens.

Yes they do aim for the bar in warm up particlarly at the end just before they go off, it's a test of accuracy and skill as they see it...a small target. Hockey players have always done this and I have no problem with it if the rink was designed to catch the pucks, but it's not, the fresh scar on the wee guys forehead who sits up near me is proof of that. In Kirkcaldy rink this game is best left to practice sessions when there is no crowd. |
