Weekend in Review
Saturday's Jets game KICKED ASS!! We won 7-0 against a team that had just moved up to the DDDD level from EE, a 2 level jump (yes that is the jump I make every time I play for the Jets but somehow, 1 person isn't as bad as an entire team who may not quite be ready. It was great fun and hey, we won!

Sunday, a member of my co-ed team decided to drop off the team after I had to scratch her for this week's game since we had too many players. I'm always bummed when there's conflict but losing that one person means my life is a lot easier since I will rarely have to scratch anyone going forward. The A Team had a 4-1 loss, we did have 31 recorded shots on goal (so the number is probably more like 40) and a couple of great moments. The other team was constantly off-sides, at one point I was driving behind the net when they were off-sides. A guy from their team was driving with me while the ref is calling "OFF-SIDES!" so I say to the guy "hey dumbass, you're off sides!" and he goes "yeah well, you're fucking losing." to which I replied "well, you're still off-sides."

Their team has this obnoxious guy who is constantly making comments like "girls shouldn't play hockey" (Sir, hi, I'm full grown, I am not a girl). He had wanted to be on the A Team but I told him that his attitude towards women wouldn't fly. He was messing with my left D, Tommy, who is kind of obnoxious at times himself. Tommy was getting madder and madder, finally, he got his chance, checking the guy into the boards down in the corner, on my side. I was nearby and fell down along with Tommy and the guy. I made a point of not getting up, of laying there holding the guy down and out of the play while Tommy skated away from the scene. The guy gets up, throws down a glove (we all know he'd been waiting for that moment from the first time he picked up a stick) and gets ready to fight Tommy. I slide over to the guy and say, dude, I'm so sorry, I fell right into you. He backed off and Tommy didn't get a penalty. Tommy was also prepared to check the guy who'd cursed at me after I'd called him a dumbass but I reassured him that I'd started that one. A 4-1 loss but I had a decent time despite it.
