Desert Tribe: Playoff Week!
I'm tired. I didn't even play the entire game, and I'm tired.
We were missing some of our strong skaters and started the game with 7. Early in the 3rd, I left. Soon thereafter, Liz and Andrea left. I totally felt bad about leaving the others so shorthanded. :(
Not too much of the game to recap. I skated my heart out, had some really speedy trips down the ice, and then my shoulder started screaming at me. Screaming, as in, not sore, not very sore, but a crazy sharp(ish) pain every time I tried to move it. That's right about when I decided to leave.
I think we finished the game 0-6. Thanks Red for playing in net for us. Sorry you had to face so many shots.
Had a nice chat with Cara afterward while we watched a very exciting 3rd game. Red, already exhausted and now playing game 3 for a very short bench, stopped a barrage of shots, went 3 periods plus overtime, and finally won after a 3-shot faceoff. Schwew!
Not sure when my shoulder will heal enough for another game. That makes me kinda sad.
Right when I'd finally gotten my ice legs back, too. :(

Again -- so fun to watch you skate last night! :) You guys played *so* much better than the score implies. It was an awesome game.

go red! you were awesome in net! wished we could've scored more for you. =/
wished we could've stayed for the rest of the game too, but we did stay longer than i thought we would, so i was sorta happy for that. i gave tracy and ryan a hard time for missing the game...or at least not even trying to make it! =)

Sorry about your shoulder... think how much faster you'll be with just skating & no hockey. Maybe?

Public skate always makes me think I'm faster than I really am, 'cause I'm not weighed down by tons of gear!
