We finally busted our 5 game losing streak in hockey last night with a 6-3 victory. It helped to have a real goalie but we came out on a mission and pretty much dominated.
I finally got off the schnide too scoring a pair of goals. First one was a big slapshot from the top of the right circle that beat the goalie inside the far post. Honestly, I never really aimed at anything. The puck was dumped up ahead of me and I was just skating as fast as I could to get to it with a defenseman angling towards me. I just wound up and hit it as hard as I could. Luckily it was towards the net. :)
The 2nd goal was with less than a minute left as we were hanging on to our 2 goal lead. My center intercepted a pass just inside our blue line and caught me on the fly from the right wing and I went in alone. The goalie decided to come out and poke check me. It actually caught me by surprise, just as I looked up to see where he was I saw him coming at me so I just flipped it through his legs and cut left to not get creamed.
Afterwards a bunch of us went to Beef O'Brady's (a fairly new sports bar near the Sun Prairie rink) for some brewski's. We started with the Hopalicious from Ale Asylum followed by pitchers of Smithwicks, Island Wheat, Spotted Cow and more Hopalicious. Got home around 11 and needless to say I have a whopper of a headache this morning.
They have some pitchers that I'd never seen before. They're bigger and have a cylinder in the middle that they fill with ice to keep the beer cold. I, of course, questioned them to make sure we weren't getting screwed out of some beer.
I'll have to leave work early today to try to get the lawn mowed. That recent rain has brought the grass back from it's slumber with a vengeance. It's grown about 4 inches since Saturday morning when I mowed. We're golfing at 5:30.
