Steamers Hockey

Per usual this season, last night we played only as well as the other team and managed another tie. That brings us to 3-5-5. Pretty ridiculous. But at least it was a comeback tie. And the other goalie actually showed up this week. But forgot his pads. Really?

In other news, our boy is all grown up. Chad brought beer for the first time in like three years. And actually drank one with us. It’s about time.

… and Lindsay Lohan will be there. I guess she is excited about seeing our rematch against the first place Badenovs. It should be quite an adventure. Russ is a healthy scratch (or unhealthy depending on how much Mexican water he’s consumed by now), but everybody else should be there.

In less exciting news, there are a bunch of new stats posted on the site, so take a look around and see if you can figure out who’s getting cut next season (cough… goalie… cough…)

For the second week in a row now, this author has given up four goals in the third period. At least this week we managed to have a seven goal lead coming out of the second, so we did eventually pull off a win. It was an 8-4 win against the Badenovs, the first place team in the division, so I guess I shouldn’t be too bitter. I am however, tired of the collapsing late in the game.

Some might argue that the breakaways in the third might have been a little more common than usual. I might be one of those people. Some might also argue that it could have been worse, had I not, at least for this last game, started coming out to tackle some guys before getting schooled. Ken called it “aggressive.” That’s a good word for it. I call it “having a headache driving home.”

Maybe next week we’ll decide to play for more than 30 minutes…

In other news, while writing this article, I googled the terms “hockey collapse” to try and find some appropriate graphics to stuff in the post and found this image of smokin’ hot Dutch field hockey player Ellen Hoog. So I figured I’d stuff her in the post too. Enjoy.
