Week 13, game 17

In which we play the Rush. Besides the Blue Thunder, who we love playing because we can actually win, we also love playing the Rush. Yep, you guessed it, because we had a chance to win. Too bad the refs saw otherwise. First of all, the website lists this as game 20...how in the hell did I miss 3 games? Writing about them, not that I missed playing them. Bear with me today, I'm a little tired. Went to sticktime early and I think I left my puck in the locker room...Damn it! The bad news is that we lost 2-5. The even worse news is that the refs waived off 3 of our goals. I had one incredibly brilliant moment when I stopped the puck with my foot to keep in in the offensive zone. I shot on goal, hoping that someone else would be there with a follow up shot. RB came in a little late and everyone else had fallen back too far to get to the play.
We switched things every which way in this game. People were moving wings, moving from defense to offense, but when you get 3 goals taken away, it isn't easy to recover. Morale was low in the locker room afterwards. I got dressed quick and ran to the pro shop to get my blade looked at. It had a snag in it.
Today at sticktime, my skates kept sliding out, so I ran to the car and switched them out with Killlian's. Thank goodness we wear the same size. His were better, but would grab in weird places, so my transitions were crap. Hopefully Scotty is working today. I need to get the skate situation....situated. Big weekend coming up.
