Trip to Italy ends in Finals shootout!!!

WE WON!!!!!

Our trip to Italy was unreal, from the food to our victory in the finals.  It was a trip that the entire team was looking forward to from the start of the season and it couldnt of ended in a better way. The final game came down to a shoot out to the host Asiago where I went in the shoot our 4 times. Yes 4 times. I missed 3 times and had the chance to win it but failed. Although I put one in the back of the net when it counted just as much as winning it. The one time I did score it was all on the line. If I didnt score we would of lost. Ive got to admit I rarely get nervous when I go in the shootouts, but this time around knowing that is was up me to score I was shaking right before I went. Thinking to myself as went down the ice all alone on the goalie, I knew that I had to score to keep our team in it. I went to my usual move and it worked and Ive got to admit the feeling I had inside was such a high. I keep my emotions to myself and rarely show how happy I am on the outside, but it was great feeling knowing that I scored to keep our team alive for another shooter. Also if didnt score I think my coach would of killed me knowing that he gave me 4 chances to score hahah. It ended with Dustin Vanballegooie our D-man going down the ice and shooting over the goalies glove. It was finally over after a total of 18 shooters!!!! I was the first one on the ice to sprint to Dustin where we hugged in mid air. It was a great feeling and it secured us a spot in Belarus, in the Finals in January. It should be another great challenge for our team. I cant wait!!!

Here are some of the pictures of our trip back home that took a total of 29 hours!!!! Should of took us around 6, but we were delayed, delayed and than canceled. After a big victory and going out and enjoying the win staying out until the sun came up haha, we had no idea that we were in for a 29 hour trip. Here are some pics of the boys in the airport feeling the weekend catch up to them.

Below is Dustin who had the shootout winner!!!

 Boys just waiting around!!

Stash update!!!

Its to long I have to comb it!!!!

First Loss of the year 3-2

First loss of the year. It was an away game against the team we just beat 6-1. I didnt play tonight due to my injury, but hoping to be back in for Sundays game. There isnt much to say about the game besides we gave up 2 short handed goals!!! Yikes!!! First short handed goal(s) against this year.  Still in First by 17 points so things are still positive here in Vojens. We will be ready for Sunday for sure.

Tonights game was canceled!!

Our Zamboni broke down and they couldnt do th ice before the game, so the game was canceled. I guess thats god for me considering I wasnt going to play due to my injury. Im no sure when the game will be rescheduled for but ill keep you updated. 

Game tonght!! I wont be playing.

Due to my injury I wont be playing tonight, but with our hard working and talented team I doubt I will be missed. Im taking it day to day and its getting better just not 100%, than again I havent been 100% since I was like 14 years old.  Ill be sitting in the stands tonight rocking my Movember Stash.  Its just awful looking but my wife loves it so I might keep it until December when she comes to visit (JOKE, she hates it. She wont video skype with me because she says im ugly. Im going to have to agree with her on this one).

Here is my Stash as of today!!! Looking more and more like my Dad!!!
