I thought you played great man! I think they gave you an apple on mine? Playing at 10am super bowl sunday was just tough man. So proud of the teams character to come from behind to get the point! Can't wait til sunday!!!

Thanks, man. I felt like I was always behind the play and giving away the puck almost as soon as it hit my stick. Maybe it wasn't as bad as it seemed in my head.
Pretty sure I was on the bench when you tied it up. Cody got credit for the assist on your goal. The assist they gave me was on Aaron's goal which I was on the ice for, but I don't think I touched the puck.
Unfortunately, I'm out this coming Sunday. Going to Dallas to visit my lady friend. bananadan:
We won our game tonight, 2-1. It was scoreless til the third period. Both teams had a few golden opportunities during the first two periods but failed to put the bisquit in the basket.
@eddieshack23 does Tim play forward? I might see if he wants to switch with me. I dont want to break up you and Glen up front, at the same time I am not really finding any magic with you know who up front with me.
Sunday night we had a sub goalie that I'd recognized from my higher level games. Good part was he was telling the guys in the room he'd been playing higher levels so they were getting their confidence up. Bad part is I'd played against him and lit him up a bunch of times before. Kinda sucks playing when you know your goalie is a bit of a headcase, sure enough as soon as that first one went in he totally lost all his confidence. I spent the rest of the night trying to prevent shots instead of just forcing bad angles cuz the keeper was directing them in. I'd warned the rest of my D mates about him but after he'd left the locker room some of the forwards started with the what the hell man I thought he was gonna be good stuff. To his credit there were 2 legit snipes he had no hope on, but 4 others were the kind where everyone just kinda skates away quickly. Anyway point it that I'd forgotten what it was like to have a bad goalie when you're playing D.
Thanks man! I pretty much gave up on receiving any sort of quality pass from him so I started to try to make stuff happen on my own (not the best "team" thing to do, but it was all I felt I could really do at that point). It felt like almost every time there was a breakout and he had the puck I would head down rink to open space only to see the puck was stolen or coughed up.
Like you said I did have a couple opportunities to make that inside/out move but I got stuffed on two of the 3 I tried. I did have one semi coast-to-coast where I was able to dangle one or two guys then get a snapper off, but the goalie ate the shot and no rebound was given up. Then there was that one when I was behind the goal line and stepped up and out and tried to bank a backhander off the inside of his left leg, it worked, but then he squeezed the pads and it was stopped about 4" from the goal line. :(
Enough about me though, we still managed to get the W!
I didn't play this week, but the other team has a ringer that I'm starting to get really tired of. Dude should be playing at least one, if not two or more divisions higher. Wish there were more than two teams in our division so we didn't have to play this asshat every week.
My team is Dead Deer.

scored my first goal last night! woo!
backhanded a rebound over the goalie
I'm in physical therapy now so I can get back on the rink. It shouldn't be more than 4-5 more weeks before I'm playing again.
