Ok, so my previous assumption that we play better with less players was wrong. HEH. Although, for only having 10 + Jeff, I think we fended them of fairly well. I know personally I was too winded to make any good moves, and for some reason was extra hot in all that gear for some reason. Damn late games. I don’t mind the late games so much, it’s the working the next day. WTF is with that, all the early games are during the weekend, where’s the late games on the weekend!? Well, gotta shrug it off and play better on Saturday.

[Strong Soup Nazi Accent] No hockey scores for you! [/Strong Soup Nazi Accent] Too late, need sleep. Or maybe even a trip to the doctor’s tomorrow. NAh, I’ll go to work…

I don’t know what it is, but for some reason we play better with a short bench than we do 3 full lines. Yes, I said THREE FULL LINES. For some reason I actually felt more tired on the ice today than I did last weekend. Maybe it’s just my lazy ass…

We started off real nicely, with a goal from Dave from Mike. But, after that, I don’t know how, we let it all slip away. It’s not like we weren’t playing hard, it’s just they were playing that much harder. Well, we gotta play hard this Wednesday. Yes, Wednesday. And. yes, 11-friggen-15 PM. Be there. I know I’ll be tired. I just hope I don’t have to work a 12 hour shift that day or I’ll be a little late, and really tired…

Yes, Cluck ”University”. If you’ve lived in the Bay Area and have never heard of the place, you’ve been living under a rock. Today, our group at EA agreed to go and see 3 suckers take the 911 challenge. 2 didn’t show. The guy who did, could only eat two wings.

This week, one guy brought in this hot sauce where you’re only put one drop of it and it’s enough. I took a drop, man it’s crazy. 911 is WORSE. It was passed around the room all this week, and every time someone would take a hit of this stuff, the group stopped what they were doing just to see the classic reaction of each other.

I’m no one to talk, one was QUITE enough for me. Now, it’s been a LOOOOONG while since I last tried one. But, the experience all came back to me after the chicken was down. What scared me most about this experience, I felt something (maybe my asthma) kick in. I was almost afraid I couldn’t breath. Odd. Man, was I tearing!

OK, here’s the lowdown of the challenge. Eat 12 of the spiciest chicken wings on the planet… Within 10 minutes. With no napkins, water, eating other stuff to lessen the experience. If you make it that far, you still gotta finish the sauce that’s left over (including what’s on your fingers), then sit for another 10 minutes, still no water, napkins, nothing.

Now who has bigger balls? The person who shows up for the challenge, or the person who shows up for work the next day? Damn, at work before all this, the boss (who’s a girl) called one guy (who didn’t show) basically a p*ssy. Saying there’s no way he could do it. She’s the greatest. There was one guy who said, it can’t be THAT hot. But, for some reason he wouldn’t even TAKE the challenge. Well, if it can’t be that hot, what’s the harm? There was one guy in the group who has actually finished all 12 before, crazy… Damn, unless you’ve grown up eating fire, DON’T bother! Well, you gotta at least try one… Heh. We’re EVIL! Ok, if you know anyone who talks sh*t saying it can’t be all that hot, have them give me a call and see if they can take the 911 Challenge.

I’ll keep it short, I’m tired and my shoulder/back is kinda messed up. So, if you look at the stats ever, it’ll be updated tomorrow. So, where to start. Early in the game JoeH left aggravating an injury. So, I hope he has a speedy recovery. Plenty of penalties to go around, well not. Five of them go to Brian. LOL. Actually, impressive. Had a few shorthanded goals, one was a shot by the other team into their own net. It was the craziest sight I’ve ever seen. With much room to take the puck up the ice to our side of the ice, instead the guy turns and shoots the puck to his own goal (I suppose in hopes his goalie would cover it.) the goalie wasn’t ready or expecting the puck and the puck went in. Wacky.

I managed a two goal game (one being a shorthanded goal, I think it was a 5on3. But wasn’t credited on the scoresheet. Notice any other mistakes on the scoresheet?), which is nice considering the lame slump on and off I’ve been in. Was hoping for my first hat trick in this league. But, I was just too tired. I might add, after losing Joe and Brian, we played 9 + 1 against a team with 14 + 1. Nice. We played great, great plays, great shots. Keep it up guys.

Happy Birthday, Mom.

Today, my family (minus one) went to our family friends house for dinner, funny thing their name is Wong too ha, and when we get there they ask me “Who’s your friend?” do a double take, and realize it’s my brother. HA. I look more or less as I did the last time I saw them, which couldn’t have been more than, maybe, four years? I guess my brother has grown a lot since the last time they seen him too. A little oddity in my day.

I know I complained about having another two week break between hockey games. But, after getting a puck to the ‘nads in last week’s game, I’m kinda glad to have that break. Grrr… I hope it goes away soon. The pain, I mean.

To my Belle, wherever she is, I hope she’s doin’ ok…

What a game! I think we dominated them the whole game, or at least the 59 minutes we had a shut out. Yes, I sh*t you not. We somehow let 3 goals in the net in the last minute. 0:46, 0:44, and 0:04. You couldn’t have at least stopped the puck the last 4 seconds of the game so I could have the winning goal? HA j/k We played really well with 2 full lines. Dan led us off early in the first period (15:01 left) with a shorthanded goal. Byron scores from a pass from JoeH. That guy Adam scores one on a breakaway from the bench after a penalty expires. Near the beginning of the 3rd Russ takes a shot from Downtown and scores. (hrm, maybe they only use “downtown” in basketball. oh well, I’m using it in hockey today). I think this was a very well played game. Especially since we just played the #1 team and WAS undefeated. Bah, don’t let them tell you all there GOOD players were absent. HA whatever. Great game guys. Way to show the #1 team it isn’t over yet.
