So, I got a call last night to fill in as a sub goalie for one of the other teams in my league. And although the NHL SuperSkills Competition was on, I decided to go out and play. Because, hey, it's always better to play hockey than watch it, right? But, as with anything, there are 2 sides. In this case there were 3.
The Good: I'm proud to say that I finally won my first game of the season. And I beat the best team in the league, to boot!
The Bad: My team is going to be pissed! I mean, I haven't been able to get them a win all year and here I go out and sub for another team and hand the number one team only their second loss of the season.
The Ugly: I paid for it. I got crashed into in my net by an overzealous attacker and got my bell rung pretty good when he collided with me. And did some damage to my shoulder. Now, it's certainly not a career-ending injury, but it is my glove-side arm and that creates some, uhh, issues. It really hurts this morning, but having been injured before (I am a boy, after all), I think it will heal just fine in due time. The question is, will that "due time" be before Friday. When, oddly enough, my team plays against the team I just played for last night.
I feel as though I owe them my most spectacular game yet. I'll keep you posted...

You know, I totally forgot to follow up with my little sister on that kid... BAD ROB!
Sounds like Canada is treating you well. Isn't hockey like Canada's national sport, bird, flower, and language all rolled into one?
The MN clock tower....getting your bell rung, a coincidence? I think not.... www.geocities.com/icepack2007
