I'm in College Station this weekend playing hockey, I'm playing with weremonkeys, a team from Houston. Last night we had our first game, it was against the home town College Station team. I'm a bit rusty, I guess that's what happens when you play a couple times a year for the past 10 years. The line I centered got 1 goal.
The goal came in the 2nd period, I got the puck in the corner. I had a College Station defenseman on me as I took the puck behind the net. I did one of my favorite moves, as we are going behind the net I pull the puck behind my back and dump it back out front. The beauty of this move is it typically gets the goalie to move to the other side of the net as he expects me to try a wrap around. With the goalie moving to his right the goal was wide open and my right winger had a wide open shot. He didn't dissapoint and bearied the puck home!
I didn't have too many of my own attempts at scoring, my best possibility was in the 1st period. I got the puck at center ice and as I brought it into the zone I put a move on the defense. I beat the defense with a move and had a clear breakaway. As I was going around the Texas A&M player tripped me. I was surprised there wasn't a penalty called as it seemed pretty clear. In the end we won the game 4 - 1.
