Did you bring some Lagavulin?

We played the new team last night- The Islaynders.  It's an obvious play on the Islanders, and they wear orange sweaters with a version of the Gordon's Fisherman crest, and they were all pretty much wearing Islander socks.  I couldn't resist the scotch joke, since the name is spelled with a y.  No one really got it though. 

Anyway, the Islaynders is made up of mainly beginners, with a couple of decent players.  They played their guts out.  It was cool to see.  I'm not really much better than many of them, actually.  I did play one of my best games though- well, at least though the first two periods. We spent a considerable amount of time in the box in the third, and when I was on the ice, I spent a considerable time on my arse.  I even collided with Eli.  I was gassed after a long shift, and when we saw we were going to hit each other, we just sort of resigned ourselves to it and blamo. 

During the first two periods, I kept finding myself in great position with the puck in the offensive zone- usually in the corner, which they weren't protecting very well.  I was able to make good centering passes, although it never ended in a goal. It didn't really matter.  We won 4-1.  We joked that we actually shut them out, since their one goal was actually tipped in by Hermann.  We are undefeated, which is pretty cool.
