Yes, it's worth a blog post. This is Nellie's fourth victory of the season, and the first that I was actually at.
And.....wait for it.......G O A L!!!! It was my goal. ;) Okay, that was already FAR too much boasting, because really the goal was pretty sad. The goalie made that "argh" noise. You know it. We were on a powerplay with about 8 minutes left in the third. Nellie's centre won put the puck straight to me on left wing off the face-off. There wasn't a player lined up against me, so I remember thinking, "Now take a second and do something decent, don't just swat it, Adams." I decided the best this to do was chuck it on goal, since that was also in the direction of my linemates, including our superstar. I was hoping for a little rebound, or at least to get it in the superstar's hands. Instead I thought, "Balls. Not NEARLY hard enough, Adams. Oh well, another face-off." Then I heard the goal say "argh", and that was the game.
so I'm stoked that we won, and stoked that I scored. But to say it was a nice goal would be like claiming you pull a shitty half-field pull, but they drop it. Gorgeous half field huck? Not so much.
One more note about the game. Remember that other blog were I said that other team is sweet to play? This team, not so much. Some of them were cool, but a few players were pretty dirty, borderlining on dangerous. They took out a few of our players, enough that I thought it was pretty uncool. One player got two BAD penalties (as in it almost looked like she was trying to hurt someone. Or certainly not trying not to hurt anyone). Don't get me wrong, I'm all for physical, agressive play, but this was not that. The team name was Ms Conduct, and I think it's fitting.
I wonder if anyone ever 'takes numbers' off of blogs. Well, in case anyone from Ms. Conduct happens to stumble across this on the internet, I'm number 4, bitches. (Just kidding).

I didn't see your goal Hez - can you do it again? I was busy writing down another MsConduct penalty at the time. On another note, Jokinen is no Lombardi, but he's not bad, I guess. Lombardi's goals were more special because they were more rare.
