Ice Birds 6 - Pirates 5 (SO)!!!!!

We had another game last night and we won!!!! For the first time since the first game of the season! It was awesome! And a real team effort. Our D were passing back and forth and blocking shots like champs. Our forwards were excellent on the rush. And they scored 5 goals! 5!!! (So maybe I wasn't as supportive as I could be - but they still did it!)

In this league we do a short overtime period and then a shoot out if we're still tied - like the NHL. (It caught me by surprise the first time we went to overtime - I've never done overtime outside of a tournament before - and that's totally why we lost that first time *shifty eyes*.)

So we went to overtime! And then it was still tied! So we did a shoot out!

And I stopped all three shooters in the shoot out!!!!

I don't think I've been in a shoot out for about ten years (not counting fun shoot outs with friends during pond hockey - or kitchen ball hockey). It was awesome! And two of their shooters were really good!

And there was much rejoicing!

Play-offs for our league start in two weeks (our league which only has four teams), so we're getting primed for a crazy come-back!

And I won a coffee with Roll Up the RRRRRRRRim this morning! Things are looking good!
