Last night we kicked off our 2005-06 ice hockey season against Chilly McPhilly. Due to the large turnout for our team, I was moved from defense to right wing. (What versatility!) Not that it mattered. There wasn't anything resembling defense in this shootout.
I played on a line with my brother-in-law Mike and my friend Brian. Mike had a terrific game, which included a fabulous backhand goal to the top shelf of the net. I didn't play all that well: no goals, no assists, no penalty minutes, and a minus one (I was on the ice for one of their goals, but none of ours). On the plus side, I didn't cost our team any goals, and I didn't get hurt – although my knee is killing me.
But, hey, screw the personal stats (I'm no T.O.). The X-Men came out on top, winning by a score of 7-4. We're undefeated, and have two weeks until our next game on October 16th. Maybe by then my knees will feel better.
Congrats on the win. Way to start the season off!
ReplyDeleteNice win! Now ice that knee!
ReplyDeleteSee even a Cheifs fan can be nice in defeat.
Anon - Thanks. I'm still tired.
ReplyDeleteFM - I would rather go undefeated and score no points than lead the league and be in the cellar.
Steve - The Icy Hot is already on! Sorry about the Chiefs - the Iggles play like poo and still manage to win. Unreal.
