No Save, No Goal, Went Wide

My worst game so far this season, but I shook it off. Although U of C had plenty of skaters that were about the same level as most of ours, they had a few big guns who scored most of the goals, though I did stop some of them!
Since the season began, I’ve used a different stick for each practice and each game, but I’ve finally found one I like. Maybe they would have scored less if I’d kept my blade on the ice more; maybe not. It’s something for me to concentrate on, anyway. I know I tend to lift my stick when I go down, sort of halfway placing the paddle (the wide part of a goalie stick) parallel to the ice, which I used to do, but not quite doing so anymore because I’m trying to keep the blade on the ice — what I was taught to do in the Instructional League I attended over the spring/summer.
At this point, we’d only had one practice and played in one game all season, so we’re still trying to come together as a team. Overall, considering what we were up against, we were satisfied with our performance.
