The goalie not turn up or something?
Uggh, it's the worst to have the want to be out there but your body just says "no." I have the want to skate eight days a week, but realistically, my body will only allow two, maybe three times a week to be at a level where I can make a difference. And even so, that is when I really dedicate myself to my post game recovery.Played fourth day in a row and I was very, very average, not much gas in the tank. Just can't do that sort of thing any more.
It's such a rush to be going into a game where you know anything can happen. Good luck, man.Today I wait and wait for our playoff semifinals. It should be a really good game, we match up very well. We usually come out on top but sometimes we just can't stop them. Let's hope tonight is the former!

Took the new skates out for a run. Dont know about others, but always find them awkward for a couple of sessions having to make a few adjustments or dial them in. Probably won't play in them for a week or two.
New skates, new visor..Merry Christmas..to me..from me.
Nice, Did you get them baked? Once I got my skates baked I was using them right away with no pain (Easton Makos). What kind of skate did you buy? Hah, you probably deserved all the new gear.
Today we play in a championship game vs. a team that makes some of our refs want to come in or stay and watch because, as one has stated to us before, "you know something is going to happen".
The team is really solid, makes minimal mistakes, and capitalizes on yours. They're very good in that respect but if we're on our game we should be able to take them out as we most often do. They beat us fair & square once in a while, and we're more easily off of our game. Should be an interesting one either way! I don't think things will get too chippy unless one of their guys starts it or the refs are pure garbage like the time they ejected 4 of our guys. We shall see!
X900's, the '17 model. Baked and fit fine, but it's the feel on the ice I always take a little time to adjust to with new skates, same steel as the last pair, but on brand new ones, they're always a little awkward at first, maybe a slightly different profile, old ones having worn down a little and have to make a few adjustments. First time out, skating off a little bit, second time out starting to feel a bit more normal.
Be back out today, probably once more after that and then I'll play in them.
The new visor, well I didn't think the old one was too bad, until I played in the new one, hardly noticed I had one on.
Played in an organized pickup game last night on a very unbalanced team compared to the ringers on the other side. I had several shot attempts and rebounds, but just couldn't buy a goal. I did make some really decent plays and passes, going around the D and setting others up, but they mostly missed too.
Still, had a decent enough skate with plenty of time with the puck on my stick. Hoping next week the guy who organizes it realizes how one-sided it was. Some of the older guys (40+) were quite unhappy the other team was so stacked with most of the better and younger players. At least I got a good workout playing centre against their top guy lol.
