That's really not much of a streak. We followed up our good play from last week with another really good game. Unfortunately their goalie made the big saves while ours didn't. That's pretty much how our league goes. If you have the better goalie you'll win. We out shot the other team by at least a 2-1 margin but every time they had a shot close in they scored.
My line continued to get better as we scored all 4 of our goals in the 7-4 loss. I had another goal on a backdoor tip in off a pass from the left defenseman. I had a backhand rebound chance that rang off the pipe, at least the 4th pipe I've hit this season. That's pretty much how we go, no luck.
I was lucky to escape injury too. I was crashing the net for a rebound when the defenseman caught me under the chin with his stick and snapped my head back. To add insult to injury, they ended up with a breakaway and scored while I lay face down behind the net. No penalty called because they couldn't tell what happened from the angle the closest ref had, even though the defenseman was telling them he hit me in the face with his stick and was telling them to blow the whistle. I'm feeling a little sore today but otherwise fine. I know the defenseman that did it and he would never intentionally do something like that and was very apologetic. I'm just glad it wasn't any worse.
Apparently after today the rain will stop for 3 days or so... we'll see.
