Being a Bruins fan, I would be extremely in awe to have lessons from the legend himself Bobby Orr. The thing about Bobby Orr, although his career was rather short, he always played the hard way. He dealt with multiple injuries, especially on his knee, and was still able to overcome it. I think that nowadays, players worry more about their image and themselves rather than winning and the team they play on. I have been lucky enough to play on a team-oriented franchise like the Wolfpack and be surrounded by like minded people that put the team first and not their own personal stats or glory.
My question would be something along those lines, and it would be how would Bobby Orr make sure that the team stayed focused on the prize of winning the cup? There are a lot of personalities nowadays and a lot of different mentalities to speak to. You can’t coach every player the same because no 2 players are the same. As a leader, you have to know what works on every player and what gets the most out of every individual on the team.

prompt two the hand eye coord one
so binko would tell the person all about how binko personally trains the coordination of his hand and his eye (actually the coordination of both hands with both eyes but only one pair at a time, like left hand with left eye or right hand with right eye or one of the other combinations, with the important point being that it is never one eye with the other or one hand with the other and must be one eye with one hand). so binko starts his training by holding out the hand that he is training and staring straight at it with the eye that he is training, making sure that the non training hand is put away into his pocket and his non training eye is closed. he then takes his training hand and closes it into a fist and starts twisting it around as if he is twirling around a double sided lightsaber in a circular motion which would prevent anyone from attacking him because their light saber blade would clash with binko's from the circular motion. then he uses his brain to imagine the lightsaber blades and uses his eyes to try to track where the tips of those blades would be if they existed. to the usual onlookers like sim wen @Jepox and agnes @micool132 it looks quite bizarre and they have never been quite sure what was going on

SHL GM RIP Dangel
during one preseason training camp, sim wen @Jepox came over to philippe eko eel during warmup skate and asked him if he would mind helping him out with a little bit of training - eel was (still is btw) one of the premier defensemen in the game at the time and sim wen, a young upstart defensive prospect for the inferno, wished to pick the star's brain as much as he could. he asked him in earnest if eel would mind helping him out with his hand eye coordination. eel's immediate reaction was that this must be some sort of prang. he looked around for the usual suspects who might play a prang - angus mcfife and binko koivu @micool132 @goldenglutes but they didn't appear to be watching, which they certainly would've been if a prang were in play. the big wrinkle here, of course, is that philippe eko eel is an eel and doesn't have any fucking hands!!!! Sim Wen you absolute moron why would an eel know the first thing about hand eye coordination. an absolute buffoon

Registered Posting Freak Code: Option 2: Levin is far from a master of hand-eye coordination, but he still has a few drills he likes to do to help ameliorate this aspect of his game. The first one in the well-known "juggling" drill, where you put a puck on the blade of your stick while it's perpendicular to the ice, and toss the puck in the air, making it land on both the front and the back end of the blade, in quick succession. Another drill that can be done on the ice is, quite simply, a tipping drill - two players stay at the blue line and fire slap shots towards the net, and the person looking to work on their hand-eye coordination stays at the top of the crease and attempts to deflect the pucks in the net. If you're looking for other sports that can help with your hand-eye coordination without staying on the ice, baseball and tennis are both great activities that can help you develop your sense of timing. Going to a batter's cage and trying to hit 70 mph fastballs is tougher than it looks at first, so when you start getting a hang of it, you can start upping the speed of the pitches, or even start incorporating curveballs and sliders to the mix. As for tennis, just the act of being able to return a serve inside the court is fairly trying, especially if your training partner is able to send those serves to you around 100 mph. All in all, there are many ways to develop a better eye for fast moving objects. (271 words)

As Jon St. Ark laid in bed, currently wearing his official New Orleans Specters footy pajamas and tucked into his purple and black sheets, he slowly sifts off to sleep when suddenly he hears a “hey there,” from a dark corner of his room. He turns on his light to see a glowing, floating ghost of Bobby Orr, the greatest defenseman of all time and one of the top three hockey players period. St. Ark is awestruck by seeing the spectral Hall of Famer, just floating there in this room. “Uh, hey Bobby,” he responds. “Remember that time I scored the game winning goal against the St. Louis Blues in the Stanley Cup final?” The old-timer begins, before launching into a story about the event. Sure, Jon St. Ark knows the play and the famous picture, it might be one of the most famous pictures in the sport. Bobby is currently about halfway through his story when Jon looks at his watch. “Anyway, thanks for the time,” Bobby says, before vanishing. In the morning, St. Ark awakens to find a signed piece of paper by his bedside table. This only compounds his confusion.

Prompt 2
Hand-eye coordination is one of the most important aspect in goaltending especially for smaller goalies. Better training and technology allow skaters to shoot harder and with more accuracy like we've ever seen, good luck making a save if you can't follow the puck. Henri Losanov is probably the last guy you would want advice from for that subject. Not everyone is 6 foot 7, can stay deeper in his crease and rely on positioning over reflexes. He'd probably tell you just go butterfly and let the puck hit you, works for him. Having issues tracking the puck while getting screened? Either get some glasses or a good ole cross check to the back will fix the problem. Like I said terrible advices, don't listen to the man. Do the classics juggling 3 tennis balls or throwing those same balls at a wall and catch them. It can get doll or boring but those reps will make you a better goaltender in the long run.
