Team Ingrid: Go Stretchpants!
Whoo, what a game!
Where to start? I guess with the final score. We won, 8-0, with 39-21 shots on goal.
Highlights: Ingrid wit da hattie! And Gina wit da goal, which I'll go into a little more below.
I played D again. I fully expect to play D now, which suits me just fine. In this league, I actually prefer it over playing wing. It's not new news anymore, but I'm still totally surprised by it.
I had a few things to work on this game. (1) More of that wrist shot with oomph, which, unfortunately, had less oomph today. (2) My slap shot, which stopped working last week, but appears to have partly returned. (3) Shooting more quickly when I get the puck. I did a good job of that today, launching a few one-timers from the blue line. Whoo.
And now, the I'm-writing-this-for-me section: my points recap...
Point one: GOAL! On a breakaway! From D! Yeah! No fancy dekes; I think I just lucked out on the shot. Actually, I didn't even know I'd scored until Ellaine told me. Ha!
Point two: This was an assist, but it was far more satisfying than the goal. I had another breakaway, and the approach was nearly identical to the one before that led to the goal. I knew Tami would be ready for my shot this time, so I looked to pass. As I approached the goal, I looked up and saw Gina on the other side. I sent the puck across the crease and put it on her stick. Goal! Yeah! Way to be there, Gina!
I subbed the game afterward, too. A couple things of note there: (1) I played center and didn't totally suck, which is totally amazing because I haven't played center in over a year. (2) I wasn't tired at the end of the game, which is also amazing, because I'm usually tired by the end of just one game... and that's *not* playing center!
I credit today's super ice legs to this morning's super tasty pancakes.
And to the sweet pancake chef. ;-)

Yeah, I was such a lazy ass. If I'd skated harder I might have had that hat trick!
