I got my second shutout this morning with my pickup group. One of the first mornings in a while I've felt really good going in. There were multiple people away for the white team this morning, and I was worried about getting lots of action. I got peppered Monday morning, and at goalie school on Tuesday morning. The black team was missing one very good player, which helped.

I didn't have a lot of action throughout the game, but I managed to keep focus, and when I did get shots, ...

The Boston Grizzlies lost last night to the Ducks. On paper, the teams should have been a pretty decent matchup. I was looking forward to playing a close, fast-paced game. Instead, half my roster called out, and we skated with only 8 against the Ducks' full 15.
Conservative hockey eventually gave way to tired hockey. Neutral zone turnovers and trouble breaking out lead to me vs. the world.
Final score was 6-2. The other goalie wasn't that impressive, but we were shooting from ...

So tonight was my final game for the fall ball hockey league I'm in. Only the top 8 will make it to the playoffs (out of a total of 11 teams in the division I'm in), and my team is dead last. So how did it go:

I spared for a buddies team last night, and I won the Player of the Game award for our team. Considering it was a 6-0 LOSS, you get the idea. Pity award! :)

Our guys were completely outplayed, numerous odd man rushes, guys standing alone in the slot.......yeah, it was ugly. They were up 2-0 before we even got a shot on goal.

I gave it everything I had, and 3 of the goals I really should have had. The 3rd goal in particular got under my skin as it was a weak shot from ...

Had a rematch tonight versus a very solid team in our division. The last time we played against them, they totally blew us out 13-1. Ouch. It was a very crushing and demoralizing loss, and I was not looking forward to this game. So how did we fare this time around:

- The date for this game bounced around a few times this week. Originally it was set for Saturday, but I think because most of the players on our team had work that day, they agreed to move it. It was rescheduled for next ...
