Ok, this definitely was the wrong time to move our clocks ahead. We had a 10:45 p.m. game in Renton last night. Which meant that after we got off the ice at 5 til' midnight, & the drive home, putting away gear, showering, & then trying to get to bed, it was... 3 a.m. I needed to wake up in 2 hours to get to work. The nice thing was that we carpooled. Darryl brought out the hockey van & 6 of us piled in. The Wisconsin crew + 1.
So the day started out in a with a memorial. I didn't mention it in my last blog, but we got the news Monday morning that a fellow hockey player passed away shortly after leaving the ice. I don't know the details so I wont get into that, but she played a major role in hockey here in the northwest & willed be missed. She also happens to be involved in one of the funnier moments in Puck'N Monkey history, I'll type about that later, when I have the time. She played for the Ice-o-topes & was on our schedule several times this season. Bill made up some special stickers for us to put on the back of our helmets.
Then later on last night, we took the ice, had 15 seconds moment of silence & played a tough game. We jumped on the board first, with Ian scoring a few minutes into the game, but a tough penalty that led to a penalty shot, got them tied up really quick. Early in the third I scored a tough one to put us up 2-1, but a few penalties & turnovers got us looking at a 3-2 deficit, then loss. Oh well, now the regular season is over, looking forward to playoffs. We were getting hot before playoffs & now we need to pick it up again. I think we'll be fine. Gotta head to work now... GO MONKEYS!!
