I finally scored a mother pucking goal!

Dead on, mucker! (I won't offend your sensibilities with my bad Irish...) Welcome to the States, and more important, welcome to the greatest game on the planet! Did you skate in Ireland?

Best seafood and Guinness I ever had was in Greencastle at a place called Kealy's. Ever been there? How 'bout Leo's pub (Enya's da) in Gweedore? I love that western coast, where they filmed "The Secret of Roan Inish." God, I sound like a bloody tourist guidebook. Slan go foil!

I didn't skate at home. The company I worked for over here had season tickets for the MCI center, and it was when jordan was here (an owner, not player at this stage), everyone took the basketball tickets when they were not being used for business, I took the hockey because they were so available, and my love of the game was born.

You won't believe this, but I lived with Declan Kealy in sligo, it's his familys pub. He raved about the seafood, but I don't eat seafood (apart from fish and chips) much, the guinness is good though, as is the steak if you had it with the pepper sauce.

And another "you won't believe it" Enyas younger sister lived with us. My mother ran lodgings for FAS students, and she done a hairdressing course and stayed with us, Mairead Brennan her name was.

First ones a good one. Did you get the puck?

Nah, never even thought of it, I was too busy thinking "holy shit, I scored, I actually scored, holy shit"

And so on and so forth

lol :D

I've found that reading Brett Hull's autobiography was a great inspiration to score goals. After getting through it, I thought "well if a guy as dim as Brett Hull can score 700 goals why can't I score tons of goals?"

Odd thing is, ever since then I've had at least two goals a game. I attribute it to the magic that is the Golden Brett Hull.

congrats dude! I remember my first, mainly because it was such an ugly goal. my wing passed to me in front from the corner, I tried to one time it and partially whiffed, the goalie was expecting something a bit...well, harder. anyway, you couldv'e had lunch waiting for it to cross the line and he just completely misjudged it and it went right between his legs. I have scored many garbage goals since....
