We lost today, 2-0. Bullshit game, I'll post more about it when I get home from work later.

Let's just say... if I were to type how I'm feeling right now, it would look a little like this:

So I've got 2 shutouts in a row. Both games we've won 3-0 against the same team that gave us our only loss.

It was pretty sweet, it's like I found a hot streak. Not that I didn't play well before, but our team dominated every game. And now our #1 defenceman is out because she needed knee surgery, so I see a lot more shots.

Now keep in mind it's only girls houseleague, so nothing too exciting... but it's nice to finally have to face 15+ shots in a game Very Happy

I actually had one of the parents come in the dressing room after and tell me "You know, I think we all forget just how good you are because you never get any shots"

Made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Even though I didn't play spectacular... just made all the routine saves, kept my team in there when they needed it. Nice to be recognized though.

Oh, and I got my first penalty of the season tonight Embarassed

I was in paddle down beside my right post, and the girl stepped right in front of me as I was starting to get up, so I pulled my stick back and flat out tripped her. Obvious penalty so I didn't complain. Funniest thing was that their one girl (#19) knows how much I hate having her stand in front of me, so she constantly does it and my defence never move her, so I gave her a couple hard jabs in the back of the knees that had the ref screaming "WATCH THE STICK GOALIE"

And then finally with 5 minutes left in the game he calls me on it Laughing

Won tonight 2-0, our team only had 6 players and me, and the other team only had 7 and their goalie, so we played 4 on 4.

Probably faced about 17-20 shots total, 2 breakaways. Made a couple nice toe saves, and my sister video taped the whole thing. Will post video later.

107 minute shutout streak Very Happy

Nice job! Hope you get to keep it another 60 minutes.

Thanks

Although it won't be 60 because our league sucks. Our games consist of 3 x 12 minute periods, although tonight we were running early so we played 2 x 10 then 1 x 15...

it was better last year when we had all 1.5 hour ice times, played 42 minute games.

That's creepy. Only the mite leagues play less then 15 minute periods.

We don't have mites here, but Tykes, Novice, Atoms play 2 x 15 minutes STRAIGHT time, and then 1 x 10 minutes stop time... so in the end, it probably evens out... but yeah, still sucks.

Okay, a quick update before I head off to my game - we won our last game 2-1, they scored with 1:59 left Evil or Very Mad

shutout streak ended at 141 minutes. Not too bad Very Happy

So we tied 1-1 our first playoff game, already posted about it in RS.

I went to see the other two teams play tonight, Raymond and CT. Raymond (the team we tied) won 2-1, so we need to beat or tie CT to be in the finals.

Beat them. You'll do fine...keep your head straight and focus on enjoying the game. I'd tell you to focus on stopping the puck but I know you better than that...you'll get over involved in the thought and end up making more errors then anything useful. Just enjoy the game.
