Well, the streak is over ... i have finally been stopped by a goalie with my new stick
I think I jinxed myself, as I finally took warm ups for the first time in awhile
The wrist shot still looked sick, but finally getting to take some slap shots ...
Every single slap shot I took was wide to my right (pulled)
The more I tried to aim to my left, the further right the shot went
I was actually drilling bombs into the glass in the right corner, when aiming for
the left corner ... and I don't mean corner of the net
I was actually laughing my ass off the whole time, how could it be?
How the fuck can I miss the net by 30 feet to the right when I'm aiming left?
Well, maybe the stick's too long ... I think I'm gonna cut a few more inches off
That will also stiffen the shaft a little
I like the reach, and I love the absolutely sick wrist shot, but I've noticed some
difficulties stick-handling at times, and add in the missing the net by 30 feet on slappers...
The reason I bought this stick in the first place was I had no slapper with my other stick
Anyways, I had a few wing-breakaways early on, and I think I was jinxed by that warm-up
performance ... I might have been trying too hard to aim my shots
My first wing-breakaway shot was well wide, the next one I concentrated on putting on net
and hit Kevin's pads square
Another time I tried to one-time a pass that was too hot, and flipped it into the corner
One of my wing breakouts, still affected maybe, I tried a centering feed when I should have shot
(It was blocked of course)
My last wing-breakaway (though still early in the session) I looked to my right and decided
to shoot ... looked top corner and let it rip, without over-aiming it
I saw Kevin's glove flash up, and heard a pop of leather
I said "Nice fucking save dude" ... then Kevin looked in his glove ... no puck
It was in the net ... I was confused ... I swear I saw the puck going to the glove
He said the same thing in the parking lot ... it went through his glove somehow
He figured his glove was coming up , the shot hit the glove and kept going to the corner before he could squeeze it
He made up for it later with an awesome save on me
I took a centering feed in front in tight to my skates, started to pull it forehand ..
changed my mind, thinking "he's gonna be coming across the net" and put it back
on my backhand, firing back towards his glove side (in the opposite direction I was moving)
I was right, but he managed to stretch his left leg out, and kick it into our RW corner
Again I had to say "awesome save,dude", and this time he actually stopped it
After the game I went to the parking lot, and the only guy there said there had just been
a high school rumble in the parking lot overlooking the rinks
At least 50 kids he thought ...he looked towards the building wondering when we'd come out
He saw blues up the hill, and they all starting scrambling down the rock hill towards the rink
There were some girls with them, and he said most of the girls did face-plants trying to
get down the rock hill ... and their boyfriends just kept going
Some of them left footprints on the girls backs
Stupid high school boys, leaving their pussy behind
And stupid high school girls, probably be right back with them tomorrow
