Insane Puck Posse Game 10: Scarlet Fever
I hate losing. I hate hate hate hate hate losing.
Waah.
So, final score: 0-2.
I'm not sure what to say. What do you do when you face the best goalie and the best subs in the division? Was that it? Part of it, I guess. Feels like we just never had a chance to find our rhythm. I guess for me, it didn't help that my legs were tired from yoga. I think it was that damned pretzel, uh, I mean eagle pose that did me in. I had no get-up-and-go today. I skated my hardest and people still kept up with me. I went for pucks in the corner and had half a second instead of two to do something with it.
Who would have thought that yoga would do me in?
At least I learned something. Slashing isn't allowed on sticks. I always thought it was, until I got called for it. My first IPP penalty. I'm such a thug, I know.
Anyway, there's not much more I want to say about the game. I do, however, have a post-game blurb that I promised Cap'n Heather:
After the game, I got back out to the changing area, and someone from the other team had taken my spot. I know she wasn't there before the game, because I was. Usually (read: almost always, because people in this league are courteous), when this happens, the person sitting there, whether they are rightfully there or not, will ask if the other person needs some room. No such offer. It wasn't a huge deal, 'cause there were plenty of people I wanted to talk to. But then she looked at me, and said, "Can I move your bag out of the way?" That was all she said to me, and then she finished up and left. No excuse me for sitting my ass down in your spot, no thanks for waiting, no bye / good game, no nothing.
I took her name. Cap'n Heather, thanks for providing it.
I thought about asking her to sub once. I'll forget I ever had that thought.
I took her number when I got home (thank you league website). The next time I see her, she will be getting some extra attention from me... in the best possible way, of course.
