Games 8 and 9 Recap
Game 8 was Friday, 9 was Sunday, and so it was a double-hockey-weekend!
Not much in terms of super exciting details though. We lost both games. The first 1-0, the second 3-1. I played D for both, and actually did a fairly good job (I was on the ice for one of the four goals scored against, though not on for either of our goals.)
I got many shots because our forwards were being good about passing it back to us when the opposing team would crowd them in front of the net. I played with a new D partner who meshed well with my style, so that was good. I had more energy than I would have anticipated having two games just a couple days apart.
Two glaring errors: the one goal-against was absolutely my fault. I had the shooter shoulder-to-shoulder and was pushing her further away from the net, but she somehow got the shot off at precisely the proper angle to score. Technically, I was doing what I was supposed to do, but she scored anyway. Then at one point, I was going for the puck and a much faster skater on my team yelled “I got it!” but I heard her a second too late. I got the puck and tripped her. She sailed several feet since she had so much momentum. Ugh. Never trip someone from your own team.
Stats:
This game -1, Season -2. Penalty minutes 2:00.
And still no goals or assists, although I have had lots of shots recently.
I will be missing next week’s game because of the party I am throwing for my Mom’s 60th. Then we have a bit of a break for the holidays.
