Well, got me a shutty tonight! We won 4-0, and brought our record to 10-3.
Didn't see that many shots, but did see enough to break a sweat. For some reason, our best dman had something going on with his neck, and consequently had no power in his lower (left) hand on his stick which caused him to give the puck to one of their forwards no more then 10 feet in front of my net. That was a shocker. Usually he launches it or makes a great pass or just ices it, but when he turned it over, i think i sprained my eyes in shock. But i made the save and we continued on.
Two saves really sticking in my mind right now. First one, i made the save with my right pad, since a different dman decided to turn it over right in front of the net, and since i kicked it out with the pad, the forward was crashing the net, as he should have, and got a weak wrister on it, lifting it. Lucky for me, it was going slow, so i reached up with my blocker hand, and knocked it down, and we cleared it. Pretty neat i thought.
Second one, i made a save, dumped it in the corner, and their guy grabbed it and was trying to lift it since for whatever reason, i was on my ass, legs spread (hoping he didn't crush it into the cup) and lucky for me being 6'4, i was able to kick it away with the blade of my skate and take it off his stick.
Overall, its such a fun group to play with and i ain't gonna lie and say i wasn't watching the clock wind down so i could celebrate. I know, its beer league, but i will tell you that i did the Lundqvist celebration and pump my fist once or twice.
On a Hank note, i got my Winter Classic Jersey today, with Lundqvist name and number on it. Its the cream color and all. What a steal for $32 huh? Maybe tomorrow or so I'll post a pic of it.
Gonna be a little while for me to calm down and sleep. LOL
Man, a shut out feels good.
