Another week is nearly over and I’m happy to report another win in last night’s hockey game.  My team faced off with the Subluxators last night, who we already beat once earlier in the season.  This team has a few guys on the roster that I used to play with, so it’s always nice to beat up on old friends.  We started off with a nice lead of a couple of goals.  Suddenly one player on the other team dropped his gloves and headed for our goalie.  He was quickly dropped to the ice by goalie, and we all quickly commented that it was the dumbed thing we’ve ever seen.  Why would you go after the most armored player on the ice?  Well apparently this guy said our goalie hit him in the groin with his stick.  I guess he forgot his jockstrap?

Anyway, back to the game.  After the player mentioned above was thrown out of the game for trying to fight, our opponents were left with only seven skaters.  Miraculously they managed to stay in the game, and probably could have won if we didn’t have three full forward lines and four defensemen.  At one point in the second period the game was actually tied, but we never completely lost control of our lead, and eventually we were up by a few goals again.  That’s where the game ended, 8-5 was the final score I believe.  The league has been a little slow in posting results recently so I’m forced to guess.  I do know that our record is now 7-2 and we only have five more games left to play in the short summer session.  Things are looking good as we are solidly in third place overall.
