Well, this game could have been really really good. As it was, it didn’t suck. We didn’t win, but that’s okay. Losing 4-5 in overtime isn’t so terrible if you take into account the fact that we entered the 3rd period down 1-4.
I do, however, feel like I had the opportunity to win the game and didn’t. I was playing my usual position, left wing, and had a couple breakaways that I should have converted into points. One of those breakaways was during my shift in overtime. Why didn’t I convert? I used to score on breakaways all the time in Green division. I’d be all cool and deke and stuff. You know what happened? I learned to kind of aim the puck. It’s been all downhill from there. Instead of trying to pull a move I try to shoot for an opening, and I think I’m very obvious about exactly where I’m shooting. Hello goalie, let me give you lots of time to predict where the puck’s going to go.
I have to work on that. Next game’s in two days.
I should write it on my whiteboard. I’m debating between “Deke!” and “Bust a Move!”
At the very least, I had a sparkly assist tonight, even though I missed the sparkly drill practice last weekend. We got a sparkly review on a whiteboard before the game, but in retrospect that’s what I do anyway.
Now that I think about it, that’s how I’ve gotten all my assists this season. Glad that my wingpair knows where to go when she sees me taking the puck down the ice.
Okay, need to get clean and try to go to bed at a decent hour like normal people do. Bye.
