However, I surprised myself.
First shift.... go down the ice.... get a pass.... make a pass.... get a rebound off the goalie.... put it in. 38 seconds back on the ice and I had my first goal.
After that, I didn't do much. Made a few more passes. Checked a couple of dudes.... nothing spectacular.
Then it happened.
One of our guys took the puck down the wing, crossed the blue line and went down into the corner. Seeing this, I decided to hang out at the top of the slot so that if he passed it to me I would have a clear shot on the net. Sure enough, he turns and looks and fires the puck my way.
Now the pass was a little off so I turned a bit to pick it up...... and got clobbered from behind!! I mean, I got rocked. Head snapping back rocked. Not quite as bad as the picture at the side, but you get the idea.So I gather myself.... get up.... look around to see who did this.... spot a dude with a ponytail and then realize........
DUDE WAS A GIRL!!!
Not only was dude a girl but she was like 100 lbs!!!!!! Not only was she a girl..... not only was she like a pip-squeak..... but she didn't even say sorry!!!!!!
It kinda hurt my feelings..... and my pride!!!!
About 4 girls from the Women's team were out there today and because they were "girls" I was trying to be nice to them. Apparently, that was a mistake!!!
I will tell you this thought..... she is lucky that she skated away quickly..... and that I am old and out of shape and could not catch her either.
Maybe it is time to retire. :)

At least you didn't go thru the glass this time.... LS
Hmmm - very true.... that was traumatic. I went to the hospital, got stitches, was told by the Dr. not to alone in case I went into shock, went to LS's house, rang the bell and asked if I could come in and they said "No"!
I am not sure which scarred me more! (though they did relent and let me in) :)
Funny, I don't remember that part!
Is this the right "LS" or have you just blocked that from your memory???? Either way, it was traumatic :)
