That looks like a good rejig Kara, hopefully some more people sign up for the Jets.

I spoke to Sam Smith tonight, he said he’d play if you needed the numbers. He could probably drag Shane out as well.

OK I’ve sent him a txt. Dunno if he’ll come tomorrow, but hopefully they’ll both sign up.

For those of you that witnessed the drama that ended the Bulls V’s Johnnies game… Mike has dislocated and fractured his ankle and will be going into surgery tomorrow to have it pinned and plated.

Pretty elaborate way of getting out of painting the house this weekend!

Eek, I feel his pain! Literally!

My Orthopedic surgeon recommended yesterday that I have surgery to repair my shoulder which was dislocated when someone checked me into the boards at the Sunday social game a year or so ago. My shoulder is now munted ” title=”Sad” />

Yes we had all sorts of excitement last night. Mike’s ankle got turned at an angle, you never want to see an ankle turned to, particularly if it’s yours. It was out at about right angles, and I have no idea how much pain he must have been in when they took his skate off. Everything was delayed for 45 minutes while the ambulance crew treated him on the ice, including injections and healthy amounts of laughing gas. So that game finished with 1.38 still on the clock (I think 3-1 to Bulls?). I don’t think we’ll be seeing him on the ice for a few months.

Then Kings played Bullfrogs, and during an altercation on the ice, two Kings players jumped straight off the bench to intervene on behalf of their player. So they both got game misconducts and spent the rest of the game in the stands. Seriously, do people not know this rule? Don’t leave the bench guys! So they played 3 on 5 for 5 minutes, but came out of it with one goal for each side, and won… 6-2?

Old Buggers played Beasts and won 4-2. Old Buggers started with no subs, but finished with 2, which was bloody luxury really. Big hat trick for Matthews – can’t remember getting one of these before. Reymond bitches endlessly about how I cheated on one of them, but seriously, it’s only tripping if you get caught! So lets call it “brilliantly getting away with hooking my lifted foot around Reymond’s leg and getting him down to the ice and then stealing the puck off him and scoring a goal”. Sweet.

Last game was Sharks-Jets. Jets had been bumped up with a couple of new faces, and a couple of old timers double-shifting. In actual fact, it looks almost like the old timers playing with different tops on. Close game, with new goalie import Vince in net for the Jets, Sharks were unable to get first and second shots in, despite a bundle of pressure. Eventually they got the go ahead goal to Liam Roth in the third, and it finished 1-0, Stefan King with the big shutout. Everyone got home at about 11.15.

Ah, cheers Michael.

I have to say, the 5 minute three on five was weird. When Kings had the puck, Bullfrogs didn’t have much pressure on them. Typically when you’re two men up and the other team has the puck, you’d put at least two players on it. Bullfrogs were still waiting around for Kings to make their move and hanging back. Often there was no one on the puck. And at one stage one Kings player retrieved a dump-in, and the other two casually changed. It was second period, a really slow change, so one Kings player was playing 1 on 5, and he held possession and got the pass up ice to his team mates.
