Men's rec league. We are 2-11-1-0. We should have three wins because in the game that we tied the other teams goalie got kicked out and the game should have went to a shootout [which we would have won by default].
Anyway, I play D, in my first year playing hockey, and have 0g, and 2a. I'm not as bad as the points would have you believe. I'm just a stay-at-home D-man that isn't overly physical [non-hitting league] and isn't overly aggressive [which I need to work on]. I also, don't join the rush very often. Got my first penalty the other night
.
We've had a couple lop-sided games like 20-1 and 16-2 and some others like 9-3 and so forth. Our main problem is that every game we barely have enough players to ice a team. Sometimes 7, sometimes 8. I mean, I love the ice-time but it gets to you, especially when its your first year and you're not used to it. It's stupid. We have the core group of 5 or 6 guys that ALWAYS show up but we're the ones that have played hockey in forever or it's their first year so, of course we get slaughtered. Our more talented guys never show up.
But alas, we played our first play-off game 2 days ago against the top team in the division [4 division, we're in the bottom one, and we are the 8th of 8 teams]. It was 1-0 after 1 period [we played them once in the regular season and it was tied 3-3 with 3 minutes to play and they won it, so it's not like they were that amazing] of play but then our goalie decided to **** the bed and we finished 8 or 9-1. Their goalie also stood on his head. Our 2nd of 3 playoff games is today and I hope we pull out a win. We haven't won in so long, it would be really nice.
