HOCKEY!!

Tonight I get to play goalie in Ice Hockey for the first time in at about a year and a half. I am SO excited!!

The situation is less than perfect. I'll be playing the first game of the playoffs for a team that has gone 0 - 13 for the season. There are pros and cons.

Among the pros there is no pressure. If we lose it is expected anyway. If we win or even make it close I'll have to of played GREAT! So no pressure. Also this is in a mens league in the area which I've been looking at getting involved with anyway so now I'll be able to guess at skill levels. Also kool.

Cons... The last full year I played hockey I tore or severely pulled my groin. With as many shots as I expect to get I'll prolly be putting my body to a real test. Back then I was in some of the best shape of my life. Now I feel I am in some of the worse... I'll pray.

Whatever! I am so EXCITED!!!

Lol I just got the call to go, I'll add to this blog upon my return...

Holy crap!! I can't believe that just happened!!

I GOT A SHUTOUT!!

This just in from TSN:

Hello folks this A. J. Brian reporting for TSN hockey from the Rinx arena off the highway in NW Toronto... We have just witnessed a minor sports miracle. An 0 - 13 mens league team in a playoff round they shouldn't make are winners after a thrilling 5 - 0 victory. In the room players were ecstatic and shocked. Said one player amongst some laughter "usually I go home and sulk, now what the heck do I do?" another chimed soon after "I'm calling in sick boys who wants a one?" (thank you strong bad for the kid-safe lingo). "We just went out and played hard. We had nothing to lose there was no pressure and look whats happened! This feels great!" said a forward who contributed 2 goals in the victory.



OK back to reality... That is all true and I had some super fun, but honestly I didn't face too many difficult shots. Unbelievable fun it was. Take care all.

Brett Farve or Green Bay Packers? or...

What a soap opera!!! This has been freaking unbelievable friends.

Brett Farve may have seemed childish in this whole debacle but my gut feeling has me cheering for Jet Farve and the NY Jets not the leftovers of the GB Packers this year. GB has been my favourite team alternating with the Cowboys for most my life.

Now I know most people dislike Dallas and I do to a little bit but having cheered for them for so long I still will this year, but not as my favourites, as my second favs as it has been for years. Who the heck is my number 1 team now though? I know nothing about the NY Jets cept they just got Brett Farve. I know the GB Dline is a teamwork driven rotation which I like the sounds of and Donald Driver is a pretty sweet receiver, but will he be as good without Brett?


The NY Giants are the best Super Bowl upset team in history with many returning "good guy" players I can cheer for, but NY? I can't turn down my love for Brett Farve like that and cheer for the team across town from him? So who is my team? I am feeling very anti GB right now so maybe about now I get to cheer for their rival Vikings...

The most obvious choice is the Buffalo/Toronto Bills. They are a young team very nearby that might be moving nearer in the next 5-10 years. Some Buffalonians would hate this and I do not blame them but hey who else do I cheer for?

Any suggestions for my new fav team would be widely appreciated. Please help me. The NFL is too soap opera like for me.
