Katz Lose 3-1

We had our first game Wednesday night. It was nice to see familiar faces in the locker room. Players I have played with, & people I have played against together on one team. I sported a new number, #51, dedicated to the birth of my son on May ( 5 ) 1st. Also the number of popular sports icons of Seattle - Ichiro & Lofa Tatupu.
We hit the ice & kept the score close for most of the game. The Crazy Horses scored first, but we came right back when thier "D"man sent a errant pass up the middle & I picked it off. I threw the puck on net & John Comes tied it up with the rebound. A assist in my first game back, I was happy. The score stayed the same until late 3rd period. Our goalie stopped a shot from the top of the circle & everyone ( including the goalie ) thought he had possession of the puck. I didn't see it sitting on the ice waiting to be put in the net, but one of thier players did. Before anyone else could react, that player was diving on the ice to tap it pass our goalie. Oh & it was on a powerplay. The next one came from a wierd angle & ended the game for us.
Overall I thought we played well. We were missing a couple of players that would have helped, but it was fun. I enjoyed my time on the ice. We kept it in thier zone a lot & this team is supposed to be in a higher division so we'll see what happens. Until next game... GO MONKEYS!!
