So this morning went much better than Wednesday or Thursday, although Thursday's whole experience (being screamed at, being hit a couple times, etc.) has apparently undone a lot of good therapy since I was shaking-nervous and nearly cried after letting in a third goal. In my defense, it's been a very long week overall. Wednesday was a good, clean butt-kicking (playing against guys who are several levels above me in terms of skill), but Thursday was a nightmare. Today started out pretty rocky but my teammates persist in reassuring me (depending on the day this can be like drilling through bedrock with a super-soaker, so props to them) and I was feeling much better as the game went on, and played much better as well.

I can finally say I've created the perfect fitting skate for myself. C width MX3s with Speed Plates and Powerfoot toe inserts. Steel is 10' with a +2 pitch. It's like wearing a pair of Jordan's (albeit instant response) on the ice. Threw my X100's in the pic because I acquired them around the same time for a grand total of $650 :)

Proud to be a Finn today! What a thriller...

ok, so i'm a few day late on this one, but with work being not that much fun today i thought of something that was to get me through the day. 90 minutes of family hockey on New Years Day with my 8yo in his Toews jersey & 5yo in his Jagr *Rangers* jersey. learning the game and having a ton of fun. they say "what you do on NYD you do all year" i can think of no better way to spend the coming year. and YES, they still suck. but after the game ended and there was 10 mins of free time, i gave my 8yo the choice of getting changed or staying out. he chose staying out.
