Tales from the beer league part 2

New season started last friday. The commish called me up on THURSDAY and asked if I was ready to go... Um no but ok. At least I had the right color jersey, but no number. (I just used fabric spray and a stencil. It's drying now... Hope it doesn't suck!) Anyways only 3 dudes and the goalie showed up. It was hell. I also pulled something in my side. Other than all that it was nice to skate again.
 
Finally pocketed a goal this season, should have had the hatty but we lost 2-1. Just terrible puck control all night

Awesome jammy! Hope you get tons more.

My season is done. The goalie never helped us stay in a game. How do you score 7 goals and lose? Oh right... Happened at least twice. We also had the problem of only having five players show up each week, which actually helped my stamina in the long run. Near the end of the season I didn't feel like dying at the end of every game so that was good. Anybody know a roller goalie in the North Hollywood area?...
 
Well I'm officially on a streak, scored again. Rebound shot straight up the middle to me, didn't do anything fancy just put it back home. We won 6-2 finally having an easy time of it. Almost had another when I was about to tap in a great centering pass and the dman on me kicked the puck into the net. The ref kept trying to give me the goal but I corrected him... So he gave me the assist. I guess that's the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. Anyway now we get the Xmas break so we can all forget how to hockey

You get my vote for the Lady Byng based off that!

I decided to buy a mountain bike instead of playing hockey this/next season, its just too damn expensive around here (So. Cal). Felt I'd get more from my money that way. I will continue to live vicariously through your guys/gals updates here.

*cough* goalies are free in the Noho roller league!
 
So last night's game I had the opposite wing that I posted about last time i was in here. This time he got me two apples and almost got himself the Hattie when another centering pass by myself got kicked into the net by the dman. I'm not sure why it's taken us four seasons to realize that we are good pairs for each other but the bromance is on.

Season ended for me last night, we will miss the playoffs. We have one more game but I'll be travelling. 7 skaters was not how I wanted to go out but we made the best of it. Tied 1-1 at the end of the first. Then they skated us into the ground. Still a final of 7-1 wasnt as bad as the 49-19 shot discrepancy. In any case it was a fun season even if I missed half of it due to travel. Feeling the game this morning though, havent skated in almost a month and jumping into that was a touch much.
 
So I've gotta ask, what's the record for own goals that anyone knows of? We've got a guy who has potted five in the last two seasons alone. It's amazing watching him work. Two have been impossible angle goal line shots, picked a top corner, from behind the goal line off the back of the goalie and of course off his d partners ass and in.

Oh man... never done it but there was one time when my team was scrambling and couldn't break into the offensive zone. I yelled RESET and shot it back to the defensive zone so we could regroup. Went straight at the net... Luckily the goalie was paying attention haha.

"Everybody heard me say 'reset button' right?"
