I wasn't feeling very well last week so I skipped the game. We won 10-3. Last night, in our last regular season game, we played Ten Blades, another really good team. They had a really short bench, but they skate really well. I was using the skates my brother gave me for the first time, and they weren't really working all that well for me. I'm going to go back to my Grafs. I also played in contacts for the first time- top notch!
I wasn't skating all that great, but was able to be in the play whenever I was on the ice- including a blocked shot that went off my thigh. My pants were not fitting all that well, with the plastic shield in the thighs, so I took it out long ago. I think I'll be getting a nice bruise. There was an up side. The puck bounced off my thigh and landed right in front of me. I got a hold of it, and was able to pass it to Jordon, who was able to run it up the ice for a shot. No joy though.
The game was really toughly fought, and a load of fun. We scored first, but Ten Blades were able to equalize and then score again. With about a minute left, we took a time out, put our best skaters on the ice, and got Adam- our goalie ready to come off the ice. After a bad face-off we got another chance and were able to score with the extra man on the ice. It was sweet! We went to the shoot out, which Ten Bladed won 1-2. Playoffs are next week, and since we're in 6th, out of 8 we'll be playing one of the better teams.
And that better team turns out to be Ten Blades again.
