OK, well, the break was a helluva lot shorter then i thought it was gonna be. At least for one team anyway. 8 days. From one session to another. Eh, guess its OK, but sure thought we were going to get a break at least until after Christmas.
I decided to do the quiet goalie thing, walked in with head phones in, music blaring in my ears, go dressed from the waist down, and with about 5 minutes left, i finished dressing, went out to the ice, stretched by myself, warmed up the entire time, and then the game started. Did accept a beer before the game in the locker room.
First period i think i had 2 shots on me, and both were more of a shortstop style stop. Did break a damn thumbnail (bent it back and it was bleeding). At the first break, i didn't talk to anyone at the bench, although i damn sure wanted to remind them to NOT throw the puck back up the middle blindly. Seems as if they like doing that. Second period was mostly uneventful, although i was proud of the wrap-around attempt that i stopped. I cant remember why, but i was down on my knees, and i knew he was going to try and do the wrap-around so i just dove back across the crease, laid my stick tight with the post, and sure enough, whack, right into the stick. Shockingly (to me) my bench didn't even make a noise when i did it.
Third period was kinda boring, although i almost blew the shutty when i left the crease and tried to play the puck. Good thing for me, the guy missed the net.
Thinking a shut-out is a great way to start the new season. We play again next week, 2 days after Christmas, so maybe I'll having something more to write about then too.
Job interview went well. Hoping to hear more this week. I'll keep y'all updated.
Have a wonderful Merry Christmas!!

Wooooo! Congrats on the shutty! How's your back feeling?
Thanks!! i always wanna jump and hoot and holler and basically celebrate, but figure the other team feels bad enough already...
Back is ok..the upper back is ok..the lower back requires about 15 minutes stretching before the game...hence why i am taking the next year off.
