Rock 'Em Sock 'Em 3-On-3
Played in the Logitech 3-on-3 today with Liz, Andrea, Sharon, and Chris. In exchange for doing the registration, I got team naming rights. Out of the silly name bag came Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots. :)
Once again, there was only one women's division, which meant quite the assortment of skill levels. We fell about midpack. Not so bad.
We played our first game against the Xmas Leftovers. Fun team with good folks. I spent most of the game working on passing, purposely scored the first one because I wanted us to have at least one goal to start, purposely scored another in the third because I hadn't scored in a while, and put in another two in the course of good team plays. Final score: 17-3. Crap, we didn't intend for that large a goal difference. Sorry. :(
Our second game was against Team Tang, and honestly, we thought we were going to get killed. Come to think of it, that would have been pretty karma-appropriate. Thankfully, they were nice to us, and we had a challenging yet fun game. How did I know they were being nice? Because toward the end of the game, one of them skated through us with the puck and scored two or three in quick succession. (Insurance goals? Boredom goals?) She made it look easy. I scored three this game, including a roofer through traffic (Whoa, did I really?) and one where I took it in and managed to poke it between the goalie's legs with my backhand while turning away. Final score: 5-8. Thanks for not killing us. I feel a bit undeserving, but very appreciative.
Game three was against Dirty Deeds. They had Nora in net, and she was very much on. She stopped shot after shot after shot. It wasn't until the third period that I figured out how to beat her: approach left (but not too far left), wait for her to drop, shoot right. I finally got two in that way. Final score: 4-1. Total wall.
That was fun. :)
I tried out extra bunga padding over my front right ankle tendon. It helps a bit, but there's still some pain. Oh, and my left front ankle tendon started acting up tonight. Great.
I ordered these ankle inserts a couple days ago. I hope they take care of the problem.
