in which we play...wait for it, wait for it...the NorCal Crossovers again. I know, 3 weeks in a row. Who makes the schedules? Capitan told us all to go and skate this week. I hate being bossed. Even if I do want to do something, I won't do it if someone tells me that I have to. I skipped sticktime Thursday morning-- opting instead to sleep in. Oh, it was the right decision. Friday am...wasn't gonna happen. Sat am, no. So I ended up at public skate on Sat night with tons of kids and one show off. Man, next time I'm going with someone who doesn't skate better than me. Too competitive. Or maybe I would have skated better if there hadn't been hundreds of people to wade through. I get nervous.
On to the game...We started out on fire. Everything was going our way. The Crossovers looked like a team that we could beat, not a team that usually beats us. We scored first and were feeling invincible. It was awesome! Hopes were high. Then we let in one goal and 2 more really easy shots. It ended up at 1-4. Still, this was progress. We had them for the first period. We were aggressive. Constantly on the offense. I think we lost a little confidence when they scored a goal. When the second goal happened, we were rocked. Yes, I think we lack the ability to hold it together. Rally in times of need and all that. Or we just need better shooters? Take more advantage of the rebound?
I had 2 shots on goal, but no goal. I did have some really brilliant plays this week. I wish I could watch the highlight reel. Still need to get into the penalty box to please ye old Capitan. Hopefully he won't tell me to go to sticktime this week. I miss it.
