3-2 win in shoot out!!

Still rolling without a loss (knock on wood) in regualtion.  We played well but made a few mistakes that caused our 2-0 lead to get all tied up in the 3rd. It was a tough game, physically that is. Odense the team we played ,are very physical and take lots of cheap shots. Sometimes I wish there was fighting in Europe. I say that now but who am I kidding, I've dropped the gloves maybe 3 times in my pro career.   So the game went to OT (overtime) and we had some really good chances to put the game away but after 5 Mins of OT, it went to a shootout!!!!  I was first to shoot, wait for it............ Yes I scored. I went with my usual, dip the shoulder fake back hand and shoot lower left. It was a good feeling to score in the shoot out, and to give our team the advantage from the start. Next they shot, goal. We shot, goal. They shot, goal. We shot, goal. They had the final shooter and he had to score to keep his team alive. Nope!!!! We took the win in a shootout. It was a tough road game but Coach was happy with our shootout win. Our next game is Friday against my buddy from college Steve Birnstil. Need to win that game to have some bragging rights!!

Still undefeated in regulation!!

3-0 win last night gave us our 8th win.  We have a shootout loss which doesn't count as an official loss and we are currently in first place. Things are looking good for our team. My line is struggling a bit recently. My winger Mick Jensen is out for possibly 2 months and we were just starting to work well together. Plus import D man Dustin went home to Canada for personal reasons, so my line has been out of sync for a bit. Dustin will be back on Monday so hopefully we can get rolling again and put up some numbers. On a positive note I've been doing unreal on face offs. Face offs are a key aspect to the game becasue more the face offs won means more puck possession time, which means more offesense. Our next game is Tuesday.

9 goals

I wear #12, small guy!!

Signing some autographs after the game.

Our game yesterday Friday was a great game with 7 different players scoring goals, me included. Finally scored a goal. It was an exciting game for our fans who loudly cheered after 9 goals!!!

Canadian Thanksgiving at the Gooie's

Once again the Gooie family invited me over for another awesome dinner. We celebrated Canada's Thanksgiving. Myself and some other guys from the team enjoyed an amazing meal. I made home ade Mac and Cheese. It was a big hit with one of the players kids. The only bad thing is that they want me to host US Thanksgiving, considering Im the only American born player on the team. Hopefully ill get some help from a few of the wives who are from the US.

practiced ended early to rink on fire!!!

So today we had our standard practice when the one side of the rink started filling up with smoke. It wasnt that bad but the smell was real strong.  Some guys were coughing during practice but I think it was just to get coach to cancel practice early haha. practice ended about 15 mins early due to the fire that was put out quick. It all started from 3 girls about 14-16yrs old, who lit toliet paper on fire in the bathroom. Really!!!!!  Well they are in big trouble because people in the rink saw the girls before the fire.  What a day!!
