I know. I missed a week. I might go back and fill in and I might not. Probably not. It was an off game for me. This game we versed the Suicide Kings of death...again. Oh, something to keep in mind. Capitan decided last week that switching all of the fast players to D was a great idea. It was, but then we had no offense. This week, he kept Ricky Bobby back at D. Moved Old Mike back to D, moved Kenny to D, Alan and Pete to L wing with me. It was interesting to say the least. I was rotating with 2 new peeps. At first it went well. We were only losing 3-1 at the end of the first. 6-1 at the end of the second. The curly haired ref even came over to tell us that we looked better.
Then the evil third came and we ended up 12-1. We die in the third. Part of the reason is fatigue. Now on our team, when you get tired, you forget to rotate. I started the third and didn't get back in until the fourth minute. WTH? Seriously. That is taking way too long. The whistle blew 3 times to stop play and still Alan stayed out. Pete was cool and let me take his last shift because I got so jipped.
I still feel like we are not finding the right combinations, but are starting to look more like a team :)
Kenny had a monster game and I was totally proud of him. Ben looked great, but 53 shots on goal? We need to keep it out of his zone better. Joe from the Mutiny said that we need more players. We were down Tammy, so the SK's had 5 more players than us. No wonder they had a great third. They weren't even tired at all. Getting Capitan to let more players on the team has proved difficult. He wants us lean and mean. Or he just doesn't want to give up his 1:1 rotation.
At beer he bet me $20 that I couldn't get in the penalty box next game....what do I have to do to get in there?
Is there a book for me? Getting into the penalty box for dummies.
Stay tuned...
