Realistic or Modern OOC: Santa Monica Home for Boys and Girls [Reboot!]

I mean i dont think low scores are that big of a deal unless im mistaken i dont think soccer is a particularly high scoring sport.

 

[Edric Blight]

So I don't need to play close attention to who is on the teams in this case since it's all changed

Definitely do NOT pay attention to who is on what team. There's literally a guy on that team who is now HATED by the fan base for betraying us and being a scum bag (long story I won't got into it) but my point is, yea don't memorize this roster or anything. Very different team today.

No they're very common in hockey. Just saying that like don't expect a football game or soccer game score haha. Hockey is usually low scoring, or high scoring sometimes.

Yeah soccer games don't tend to get that high a score normally. It's just more interesting to see the game being played, seeing what a match might look like.
Seeing how they move on the ice. Figuring out the pace and rules That kinda thing.

Did already see a bit of a mess with like 6 players all surrounding one guy down with the puck under him, so that's a thing! Haha

 

[Edric Blight]

Yea but hockey is usually high action the whole time so even when they're not scoring, it's fun to watch. Although I do find myself yelling at my team when they are turning over the puck and not playing so well.

I was just saying im pretty sure soccer scores are pretty low too so if he watches any soccer he is probably used to sports with low scores.

The only reason American football score are high is because of how they score them really

 

[Edric Blight]

Oh. I have 0 clue about soccer lol.

And yes ur right about that with American football.

 

[Dawnstar]

Oooof. I just saw like 5 guys slammed into the wall, a bunch of really aggressive plays wacks and bumps, and and both teams having players out in the penalty box! And im only like 15 minutes in.

I see what you mean by high action.

 

[Edric Blight]

Yea they get really aggressive and physical, but it's all a part of the game lol.

Exactly! High action for sure!

 

[Edric Blight]

Around the hour 16 mark in that video is my favorite

 

[Dawnstar]

Huh the one thing that is striking me is how small those nets are. Being used to something like soccer, the nets are huge, a goalie has to really jump and leap sometimes to block. There is no way to cover the whole thing.

Here, it seems like sometimes they're just able to body block the whole thing. Though obviously the puck is a much smaller target to block.

Oh yea the nets are pretty small. That's why I was like WOAH when I saw soccer goals and the soccer goalies going all over the place.

 

[Dawnstar]

Yeah whenever your in goal for socceer you are expected to sometimes litterally jump, or skid, leap, arms out to try and block the thing. Thankfully the balls don't hurt as bad as pucks to get hit by.

Ofc unlike Hockey you aren't in a ton of gear, players tend to be less strong and a bit more agile I guess?

Yea it's wild. A lotta respect to goalies of both sports.

A puck can hurt even with the gear. It also sucks to be hit by a 100 mph puck even with a mask on because your ears ring so much and you get all discombobulated for a few minutes. Those players fire the puck often in the 80's, 90's, low 100's mph (Idk what that is in kph, excuse my American-ness lol)

They can be both strong and certainly agile. You need to be agile as a goalie to make insane sprawling saves and stuff like that to keep the puck from going into the back of the net.

 

[Dawnstar]

Oh yeah I wasn't saying that Hockey players were clumsy or anything, you def need agility especially for some of the moves im seeing on the ice. Just I see it being more a strength sport given the amount of power being put into stuff. And the fact it looks like a lot of the players could crush someone like a walnut Compared to a lighter weight soccer players.

Oh I bet the pucks still hurt, padding can only do soo much. (and don't worry about converting speed, the UK is weird and we use both measurements for some reason. Socceer balls meanwile tend to get kicked at like 30-40 mph in youth leagues, and up to around 70 - 80mph in adult professional stuff. Record shot ever taken was just shy of 100mph at 98.2mph.
Thankfully they bounce more than a puck and have a bigger surface area, deflecting on impact but also can still suck to get hit by one in the wrong place - there is a reason goalies still have to wear gloves.

Ok got it lol. Yea very true. A lotta big bulky guys in the NHL. Some lighter more goal scoring fast skating oriented guys too tho.

They definitely can hurt. Also I didn't know UK uses both! Interesting lol.

Damn, 70-80 mph for a SOCCER BALL? Impressive. Even more so that 98mph record.

 

[littlemedia]

Hi
*waves*
Ouch!

 

[Dawnstar]

Damn, 70-80 mph for a SOCCER BALL? Impressive. Even more so that 98mph record.

Actually I looked it up, on a penalty kick. So just a full power, piledrive, free shot taken against the goal, the world record apparently comes from a Brazilian player who managed a mindbloggling 131mhp on that kick back in 2006. Though nobody gets anywhere near that speed on an average.

 

[Dawnstar]

Hi
*waves*
Ouch!

You okay Liam?

 

[littlemedia]

Yeah I just fell asleep while doing homework and apparently rolled over onto my stomach and hurt myself a little bit

 

[Dawnstar]

Awwwww. *gently hugs*

 

[littlemedia]

Thanks so Whats up? We talking about hockey!?

 

[Dawnstar]

Yeah. I wanted to try and learn something about it, because both you and Edric seem to like it.
So I'm watching an old Islanders vs Rangers match from 2016 I got sent

 

[littlemedia]

Oh cool... sooo what do you think?

Wow. Definitely impressive tho.
