Fall/Winter 05-6 : Game Three Recap
We won, 2-1!
I started out awkward and a bit confused. I played left wing, and I usually play right, so I had to reorient myself a bit.
There are two plays that keep running through my mind. If we had lost, I would feel guilty about them, but as we won it isn’t that big a deal. Still, I nearly got two goals.
But “nearly” isn’t enough!
The first was when I was camped out in front of the net. My center gave me a beautiful pass. The goalie was on the other side of the net. Had I caught the puck, it would have gone in. Simple as that. But I misjudged the puck’s speed and lost the redirect.
The second was when I had a breakaway and shot hard on goal. The goalie grabbed the puck, completely covering it with her glove, so I backed off awaiting the face-off. But the ref didn’t whistle it down. Instead, she made us play the puck, so of course the goalie threw it into the opposite corner.
My center got the two goals of our side, but alas I wasn’t on the ice at the time. I had just switched-up for the first goal, and she was playing on another line for the second. (We switched from three full lines to two center / three wing combos when a winger had to leave early for another game.)
STATS:
Goals : 0

Try being a defenceman looking up the boards to clear the puck... see two or three opposing players with their asses against the dasherboards. Decide to clear it up the middle, only to have your Canadian brother-in-law intercept and fire off a slapshot past your keeper. Even though it was a pick-up game, I still fired off a resounding "F-Bomb" and threw my stick over the glass.
