Faux Goalie
I subbed in the final Maroon game of the season Friday night. Our goalie showed up during warmups, and I got to be the lucky skater in net while she geared up. At first, I was a little worried, since the last time I tried a goalie move in skater gear I popped something in my knee. I didn't want to be a whiny sub, though, so I just told myself to be careful and planted myself in the crease.
The good news: The other team didn't score.
The even better news: I didn't hurt myself.
I even managed a few goalie-like moves, like a half-butterfly save off my right skate. That one scared me, actually, because it was exactly what I *didn't* want to do, out of fear of popping my knee again. But alas, the puck came, and I found myself reacting with a not-too-shabby half-butterfly.
There was a nice skate save in there, and a bunch of stick deflections, too.
I kind of miss being in net.
Heal, shoulders, heal!
