The first game of the double header was against the Suicide Kings...yes, still in first place. Still excellent. Still rather intimidating. We were going to be missing 3 people, so we called in subs from everywhere. Joe from Mutiny, Mike from Silver B, little Kevin from Learn to Play class current and some other guy I didn't get to meet. I'd like to say that it went better. 0-12. I did have an amazing pick, which Joe congratulated me on after the game. How cool was that? My joint custody friend Hao came and took some pictures of us playing. No, he didn't catch my brilliant play, unfortunately.
Next game was against the Flyers. This is a good team, and someone that we can be much more competitive with. Mike-dog decided that he was in for left wing this time, so I rotated with him and Allan. For some reason Kenny got put on right wing. Stupid because he is left handed. I had another brilliant take away and actually skated with the puck, something that scares the hell out of me. Capitan got in the penalty box and he was already on warning, so he has to sit out the next game. What a dumbass! I think he gets that temper from playing soccer 2 nights a week. The refs are totally on to him and tend to add extra minutes the second he opens his mouth to voice his opinion.
We lost the game 0-3. Yes, we need to get some offense going. But all in all, I think that was a much better game. Playing so far above your skill level just leaves you feeling frustrated. Going up against a team that you actually have a chance with is a much better situation. Whoever says that playing a hard team makes you learn more is an idiot.
We rented the ice the next Saturday because we had a bye. It was really fun, but as we had so many people not from our team, it didn't really lend itself to helping us get things together.
During this week, Allan decided to launch a hostile takeover of the team. I now call him Barbossa in private. The emails have been flying back and forth and everyone is a little on edge. What we really wanted to do was acquire Ray from the Blue Thunder and keep the team together. Then Allan started up with all of these demands and a plan to become Mutiny B, which is glamorous to be sure, but is causing some people not want to stay on the team.
Capitan Jack Sparrow sent out an email that said we should have until after next game to talk about things and then decide. Who knew that a group of guys could get so dramatic? Us women get a bad rap I think.
So on to Suicide Kings again on Sunday and the fate of the Hawks...
