Sunday Dec 26, Boxing Day!

26 degrees and cold at game time. Its windy and there's no sun, it's supposed to start blizzarding this afternoon. We started 8 v. 8/shoot inside the 18/ last man back, but actually got up to full sides. Alex Sheer is back, and so is our old buddy Eddie Mulane. Dino started in the white net, but then Juan took over for the rest of the game. Blue net was minded by Bobby, but I took over full time when my back started to bother me too much to run. Scoring started with Jimmy for the white, he likes the short sided games, then Ace for blue. Scoring summary as follows:

Jimmy for white 1-0
Ace for blue 1-1
Jimmy 2-1
Jimmy 3-1
Jimmy 4-1
Eddy for blue 4-2
Juan for white 5-2
Vince for blue 5-3
Eddy 5-4
Jimmy 6-4
Jimmy 7-4
Jimmy 8-4
Eddy 8-5
Vince 8-6
Dino for white 9-6
Jay for blue 9-7
Moe for white 10-7
Dino 11-7
Jelly came over to the blue when Joe M arrived,
Jelly 11-8
Jelly 11-9
Jelly 11-10
Alex for blue 11-11
Eric for white 12-11
Mo for white 13-11

It sounds like quite a slug fest, and I guess it was. The blue defense with Bobby and Shamu was inspired, but the blue keeper, (me) was completely ineffective. So poor in fact that the Ace changed his colors hoping to bag a few easy onions to end the season. I stood there shivering, just hoping the game would end. There's two feet of snow on the ground and fifty mile an hour gusts as I write this, but it supposed to warm up towards the end of the week. Lets hope for the best. Otherwise, Happy New Year.
