Whoo Ride! Whoo Hockey! Whoo Goal!
My car's been in the shop since Monday, and they're keeping it until sometime tomorrow. This left me carless tonight, with a hockey game I somehow had to get to. I sent a late afternoon message out to my team and got back a couple ride offers. Thanks Char for the ride, and thanks Lindsay for offering to drive out of your way to give me a ride!
I was happy and smiley all night, I think because I was just so pleased that I didn't have to miss my game. I played on a line with Lindsay and Gwen, which was totally fun. I even managed a goal toward the end of the game, when Gwen sent the puck down the ice ahead of me and Adrienne. My first thought? "Ooh, PUCK!" My second and most urgent thought was then to skate as hard as I possibly could to get as far away from Adrienne as I possibly could. (Tangling with Adrienne is always a losing proposition.) But then, when I got the puck, I actually had the clarity to remember that this goalie had been overcommitting all night to the angle I was at, and I sent the puck across her body and into the net on the other side of the post. Or was that just luck? Naw, I meant to do that!
Final score: 6-3. I'm sooo glad I got to play this game. Thanks Char again for the ride! :)
