The Post-Shot Pocket Scrub

If you can recall or DVR-ed it: Tim Desko – first BTB goal – did it.  Matt Bocklet – perhaps the 2nd coming of Matt Ward? – did it after his first goal.  Kehoe – after his first goal.  To any of you college players out there, you are very familiar with this move.  Back in my day, it was the pull strung: now outlawed.  Now, ‘this’ is the pocket scrub.

Notice the FIRST thing some offensive players do after they score a goal.  Even before their celebration, a player will take the back of their head and rub it against their hip.  I understand: with the power these guys are shooting, you can imagine the kind of stretch they’re putting on their mesh.  I just wanted to point it out – WE DO NOTICE – especially on televised games with replays of your goals.  Believe me, as a former college attackman and current referee, I see this during my games and I believe us referees do have sympathy – a.k.a. we let it go.  But be wary big bag lovers and pull stringers, you’ve just been called out, and some refs might not be so nice.

I ask all of you to watch the next game you see on TV, I can almost guarantee that one player does it post-goal.

STRING,

Greg
