How to Improve Your Hockey Skills During COVID-19 Quarantine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Reptar<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hey there faithful reader. Are you looking to improve your hockey skills during the current COVID-19 outbreak\/quarantine\/shutdown\/apocalypse? Do you want speed like McDavid? Vision like Crosby? A shot like Ovie? Flow like Kaner? All from the confines of your over-priced apartment? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well…you\u2019re in luck. For two easy payments of $69.69 you can be the proud owner of \u201cThe Ultimate BTSH Quarantine VHS Deluxe Set\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

But for now, here\u2019s a free sneak peek: <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How to\nImprove Your Slapshot + Piss Off Your Neighbors <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Buy a buttload of tennis balls<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Go into your hallway and absolutely unwind on slapshots aimed at your neighbor\u2019s door <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Run away or fight them <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Improve Your Hockey Chirps<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re gonna want to get creative with this one. To start, try to target another player\u2019s deepest insecurities. For instance, if entirely hypothetically, someone with a nickname like Baby Frog is planning on growing their mullet out until Ocean City and it\u2019s not looking so hot, pick on that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHey bud, they wouldn\u2019t even serve that\nlettuce at Chipotle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHey bud, did your barber get Corona or are you just afraid of a comb?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHey bud, Annie wants you to cut your hair.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Improve Your Stick Tape Game<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I promised not to touch on the controversial hot topics, but I just had to dive in. A lot of you don\u2019t use hockey tape on your blade, and that\u2019s entirely your decision. But for those that do, or want to, but don\u2019t like how the tape on the bottom of your blade messes with your feel for the ball, here\u2019s what you do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take one strip of tape\u2014about the length of your blade\u2014and put it along the bottom part of the forehand part of the blade. Then walk away. It\u2019s gonna take some practice before you get it right, but hey, we\u2019ve all got loads of time right now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek of \u201cThe Ultimate BTSH Quarantine VHS Deluxe Set\u201d and I look forward to seeing how you\u2019ve all improved in these areas of hockey once we\u2019re allowed to play again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Civilization <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join Liam from Cobra Kai, Tim K from Filthier and others<\/strong> in this turn-based strategy game where you attempt to build an empire to stand the test of time.\u00a0 Engage with your world: cities physically expand across the map, your actions help boost technology and civics research, and competing leaders pursue their own agendas based on their historical traits as you race to achieve victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All in the Mind Baby: Board Games & Puzzles to Pass the Time<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Stoop Dogg <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tired of watching TV? Scrolled through every Buzzfeed article and Instagram cawntent? Have no fear, Stoop Dogg is here with lock on some of the fun and games you can have without technology! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kick it old school, like me, and whip out a board game. Some great options for two people? Battle Ship<\/em>. If you don\u2019t know how to play this game, then you didn\u2019t have a childhood, but I promise, nothing says a good time like blowing up your roommates aircraft carrier. Need another game for two? Sip some fine wine over a nice game of Stratego<\/em> \u2013 a two player strategy game where each player controls 40 pieces representing individual officer and soldier ranks in an army with the intent to capture your opponents flag. Don\u2019t forget your classics like Chess, Checkers, and Connect Four<\/em>! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Have multiple roommates? Need some multi-player games? There are more games out there than Monopoly, Hungry Hippos, Boggle, and Clue<\/em>! Try to conquer the world with Risk<\/em> (don\u2019t try to take Russia, that will be your downfall!). Find out how well you see colors with Azul<\/em> (P.S. This can also be played with only 2 people!). Want to play a guessing game, try Codenames<\/em> where you try to figure out what the codename is based on the related hint word you are given!  Even though this game is not my vibe, if you really need another game, play Catan<\/em>. And apparently there is a game called Coup<\/em>, I know nothing about it, but it has a silly name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

All alone? I got you babyboo. Puzzles. Big puzzles, small puzzles, 3D puzzles. Want to make it harder for yourself? Complete the first puzzle, do the second puzzle on top of it. My favorite puzzle brand, White Mountain<\/em>. They have a massive collection of 1000 piece jigsaw puzzles to choose from. Every decade, HollyWood, Music, Cereal Boxes, as well as fun pictures depicting Drive-in Movie. You do all of the White Mountain Puzzles, I suggest Ravensburger<\/em> be your next puzzle brand to tackle! This puzzle brand presents slightly more challenging pictures to complete, however they come out beautiful in the end and are 100% worth the time! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Flat puzzles just aren\u2019t hittin\u2019 right? Step your game up with some 3D puzzles. Build yourself a city or two, maybe the enchanted world of Harry Potter, or Downton Abbey! Wrebbit <\/em>has it all from cities to landmarks and I promise your itch to puzzle will be scratched! The even have Winterfell for you GOT nerds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

All of these games can be found on Amazon, Wal Mart, and Target and are just one point, click, and ship away. So don\u2019t go Coronacrazy Baby have a quarantini and chill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Settlers of Catan <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trade, build, and settle!\u00a0 The go-to mobile app game for Gut Rot\u2019s assistant captain Morgen (find her at schmorgg<\/strong>).\u00a0 You can trade with your opponents and take possession of the precious land and its resources.\u00a0 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
