jrodimus Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 [mod: topic title changed to 'cheapest' because this isn't 90s high school anymore, but conversations preserved] Of course it depends on who you ask, but these were the four I could come up with. Any of these (pretty much) can be averted with decent goalie control and quick thinking. Your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJR Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Ramming the goalie. I did this very often in snes NHL97 when i got it back in the days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPv6Freely Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 I said floater because i dont really think any of these goals are gay. The one I hate the most is the one where you go to man goalie to stop a deke, and your moron computer d-man holds the attacking player enough for him to get loose and spin around and score.

skoolyardpuck Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 i don't mean to be a downer but describing cheap ways to score as 'gay', is a bit unnecessary fellas. Not everyone in the world is straight and/or automatically equates the word 'gay' to the words stupid, lame, or cheap. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSiG Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 There's really no gay way to score if you can defend against it. I voted for the cross crease, but if you can't stop a shot, they're just gonna keep using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryjay93 Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 In my book a goal is a goal, no matter how lame it is, but the ones i find to be the lamest are pass shots, it just rubs me the wrong way, but if people wanna shoot them, go for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gotta agree with SSiG here. As much as I hate to be scored against when my opponent uses some of these tactics... ultimately, it's my fault for leaving myself open to it.

If I don't learn and they take advantage of it... more power to em. And I'm going to defend a shot that I love to do (some call it the EA Special... thx to bhf ;-) ) The wrist shot / rebound goal is a great tactic to keep the other guy on his toes. I'll be the first to admit it doesn't work all the time but you need to know with particular players where that shot is most effective to make the G dive out of the way. It does take some knowledge to know where that play will work depending on the guy shooting. Some might consider it cheap, I call it diversifying your offensive strategy. What separates the best from the rest in most of our lgs is that someone who can use all types of attack strategies. I'll point one person that comes to mind right now... he's a guy that is better than most at doing utilizing every offensive look is scribe. Imo, no matter how good you are at one aspect of the game, once you have a game plan that's predictable, your opponent has an immediate advantage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaDonch44 Posted December 24, 2007 Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 I feel the way most of you do, a goal is a goal no matter how they are scored. They can all be defended. What annoys me more than anything is when someone shoots, your goalie makes the auto-save, the star lights up on the goalie so you take control and then the puck trickles into the net anyways (with or without being hit). You don't do anything wrong, you stop the puck, but it goes in. Very annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 The only two goals which I consider lame and actually bother me when people use them are: 1)The pass-shot from behind the blue line and through the five hole. Honestly, pass shots don't bother me. Those take skill to pull off. But a shot that's taken from a ridiculous position and goes in from THAT far away? Now those bother me. 2)The old "after the whistle goal". 'Nuff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyersHockey1967 Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 No surprise the Jesus okey doke was omited from the poll..It's more manly than Jon Wayne in a whiskey distillery draped in concubines wearing a ten gallon stetson. <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value=" name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object> No kidding man. When I saw you do that against me, I just had to try it myself. I've gotten it done twice, but that's it. It's frickin' awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceStorm70 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 My new fave trick shot is to catch the goalie wandering into the far corner, grab the puck behind the net, pull to the front of the net (between the net and goalie, and tuck her in. Tough as hell to do, but crafty and sneaky as hell. Haven't figured out how to set it up like the okey-doke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkgrenwel Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I don't play in the leagues on here, but in my circle, the cross crease goal is simply known as "The b***h Move" and is automatically disallowed. In the case of disagreement between the two players, a third party is brought in to watch the replay and judge whether it was legal or not. I once had to call a friend out of state and describe it to him over the phone go get a ruling. When I first discovered this site, the first question I had was "I wonder if they allow The b***h Move?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any and all types of goals are permitted. If one was to watch any of the vet players, they have a defensive or manual goalie answer to stop the B****h move and all kinds of these "gay" goals. Thats what makes them champions. I had the same feelings as u did mkgrenwel, but i soon learnt that its all part of this crazy game that we have all fallen in love with.

The Russian Rocket Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Yeah when u can defend against it's not that gay... goals are goals when i was playing real hockey i made ''the crosby move'' to lift the puck on my tape and i dropped it on the back off the goalie and it went in =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xdeathsbloodx Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 the goalie ram is totally lame... and even more so when their player was gonna get called for interference but the puck goes in they get the goal and the penalty is waved off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freydey Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Well if u put penaltys on, on snes they call the interference most of the time. Not on Sega but it doesent matter, it's funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clockwise Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Actually the gayest way to score a goal would probably be on a ram in a settee with compatible window treatments wearing mesh pj's and a Ring Pop - not that there's anything wrong with that. The oldest goal would be sitting in a Hover Round chair wearing Totes and sucking on a Werthers Original when you become incontinent and score on yourself. Coolest goal would be at Hef's house in aviator shades with a snes '94 cart underneath the entertainment center keeping it level the while Playmate girls feed you grapes, you score a okey doke goal and say, "neat-o bandit-o". Most Zen like goal would be cross legged in the nude against Arena 00 while mild altering fumes escape from the bong you made with controller 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Russian Rocket Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 the most gayest goal i made was when i had a penalty and the dude came in front of his net i cheked him with fleury and the puck went into the net XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dethrox Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Yea, how about the wide cross crease goals, where u move to stop the lameness and he puts in a slapshot right where u just moved from, love that one. Id have to say crashing the goalie, because its not as easy to defend against if you've mastered it, cross crease goals are childs play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dethrox Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 or even worse, is when he crashes the goalie, the penalty whistle goes up for interference, the puck sneaks into the net and it still counts as a goal! that pisses me off...

Thanks to @smozomafor sleuthing this, but the origin of the phrase "EA Special" is confirmed to have been coined by @backhandfloater.
