Glove Save!
OK, I did drop it, but recovered the puck and froze it.

I took my own advice and wore a practice jersey that I know fits. However, I thought we were the home team and wore a white jersey. Oops. It’s been over a month since we played Moussaka (Purple), and last time we tied 3 – 3, so you can imagine how disappointed I was to lose after the victory in Week 8: The Blue Angels vs. Pink Floyd. I thought we lost 5 – 3, but the final score was 5 – 4, so it was a close game. We were behind by one all game, and I was pulled in the last 30 seconds.
Of course I beat myself up about my performance, even though Moussaka members complimented me on my game. It didn’t make me feel any better then, but it does now. I mean, you all know how hard I am on myself, and for the other team to tell me I did well is a real compliment. Also they had some really good subs playing for them, but I still held my own.
I’m disappointed that I can’t quite get the butterfly thing going, but I guess I just have to find the right buckle holes on my new pads. Well, and practice, of course.

You know, I do think this is really exciting! I love hockey but hadn’t been able to get into watching the Stanley Cup playoffs. Too much commercialism. If I lived near you I would come watch your team play!
I know what you mean about the Stanley Cup. Hockey’s really the only sport I like watching on TV, but the commercialism is too much for any of the sports but also incredibly stupid! Particularly the beer commercials.
If we had cable TV (we just have cable Internet), I’d watch more hockey, even though the best way for a goalie to learn by watching is to go to live games. Still, I avoid TV and would wish that we could just get ESPN!
That would be so cool if you lived around here and came to my games. My own family doesn’t even bother, but whatever. I guess that’s another story for another time. Anyway, then you could play, too!
