That is rough. Remember to also take care of yourself in this time.

I had my 3rd game on the weekend. First game 7-0 loss - 21 shots to 9 Second game 1-1 tie 23 shots to 19 third game 4-1 loss 28 shots to 9 First one was a breakaway, I've noticed that with breakaways I just can't seem to out wait the attacker and then just drop into a blocking butterfly stance and try to throw out a pokecheck. they then just make one move and throw it in an empty net. I think it's just a mind thing, but I ALWAYS make the first move. So that guys scored pretty easily. The second goal was my fault, the guy came down the left and put a low shot in. I can't yet control my gloves/stick to smother a puck, so I kicked it out to the right side straight to an unmarked guy who tapped it in the net as I was still trying to recover from kicking out the rebound. 3rd goal was really frustrating as I've spend maybe 10 mins a day downstairs trying to work on my VH stance for this play and then come game time they shoot the puck in, and beat out D to it, and I go into VH but then stand up and peer around the post to look behind the goal. the guy then passes it infront and I feel a bang on my foot, and hear him celebrating. I look down and half my skate is outside the post angling into the net. 4th goal was a PP goal 1 minute later. I play in the bottom league so no one can shoot a rocket shot from the point... or so I thought. Puck comes high to the blue line and my guy rushes out to block it, I drop down to butterfly expecting a low shot and as the puck goes past my guy I lose sight of it, then see it again but its going high and it goes upstairs and hits my bottle. FYI: game 1 and game 3 were to the same team who are 5-0-1 with 25GF and 6 GA. my team is last with 1-4-1 8GF and 16GA (they won 4-0 last week as well) I also just picked up some Passau knee pads from someone and god damn they are lovely, felt nothing at all when dropping down and no bruises the next day.

Howdy, That sucks man. I hope you and your family can get through these times in the best way possible. You're in our thoughts. Mark
